Sense of spirits - a review

There's something about food which connects people! Isn't it?

 I recently went to this place for a leisurely lunch with a group of friends. What's best about going in with a big group is that you could taste a wide array of dishes. Sense of Spirits is nestled in the food hub of sec - 29 Gurgaon, which makes it easily accessible. It is a plush lounge where you can sit and savour your meal.

Food First - Now the most important stuff, the food. I ordered my dose of caffeine for the day - a cold coffee, which was awesome. I also took a sip of Jack on the banofee, which was good.

 As for the starters, I really liked  the Bharwan Paneer Tikka which was melt in the mouth,  Chilly Mushrooms and honey chilly lotus stems, which were nicely done. The highlight although was the Cheese parcel, which essentially is cheese wrapped in filo sheets. They were crispy on outside with loads of melted cheese stuffed. My non vegetarian friends relished their Bhuna Gosht and Sangam kebabs. 

For the Main course, I had my usual favourites kadhai Paneer  and daal makhni along with missi roti. It was good. 

The Dessert spread was really delectable with the brownie with icecream, gulab jamuns, basbousa, banana split icecream. 

What made this lunch special was the easy flowing conversation, laughter and a great company of friends  with delicious food.

Lets enjoy - Thodi Tafree Ho Jaaye

Tafree literally means " enjoying to the fullest ". Cafe Tafree is in sync with its name. This is a lively done up cafe located very conveniently in the Inner circle, Connaught place. This is a multi cusine food joint spread across two levels including a terrace. What better than a pleasant winter afternoon to relish a meal under the sun! 

I went there along with my foodie friends and enjoyed some nice food along with great conversations.

The things I particularly liked are- Virgin Mojito which was fresh and tangy,  followed by a Kitkat shake which was equally good.

 Paneer tikka was nicely marinated and succulent. Palak patta chat was nice and crispy and indeed a very healthy alternative to papdi chaat which we crave so often.  The oriental combo of noodles and chilli paneer in garlic sauce was good. Biryani deserves a special mention as it was full of flavours and aroma.

My non vegetarian friends relished on laal maas, kali mirch chicken tikka and mutton kebabs.

A  good meal should always be wrapped by some delectable desserts, isn't it? I savoured on the Tiramisu and blueberry cheesecake, which were super yumm!

Boombox Brewstreet - A Review

Last week, I happened to visit this beautiful place nestled in sec 29, Gurgaon aptly named the ' Boombox Brewstreet '. Boombox is a large portable radio & cassette player which produced a very powerful sound. The decor is musically inspired and rightly so. 

The restaurant serves fusion cuisine, has a large bar and a microbrewery. It has a very casual laid back vibe to it. This is like one of those places where you would love relaxing with friends  over drinks after a hectic day.

What I ate ... firstly we were served a bite sized serving of dahi bhalla which was tangy and sets the tone for the dishes to come.

The chemical brothers - it is essentially a nitrogen treated bhel puri 

Paneer Butter and Jam- It had  deepfried paneer dumpling coated with bread  & served with a hint of jam which tasted awesome... A must try.
  

Main toh raaste se ja raha tha - the golgappas. nice and crispy.

Punjab se lekar Delhi via Spain - Rajma chawal balls served with sabudana papad. A sureshot winner.

I had a virgin Mojito, which is my all time favourite, it was pretty refreshing and a Summer Tyme, which is a vodka based drink served in a pineapple shaped vessel.

So, head over to this quirky place to let you hair down with some amazing drinks and food.

Three times Tamannaah Won us over by her style

Tamannaah Bhatia, the superstar down south mesmerized us with her breathtaking beauty in the mega blockbuster ' Bahubali '. Since then this super gorgeous girl is making head turn in awe, every time she takes centerstage. Here, I present her three recent looks that won us over...

Rocking in the Pant Suit 

She wore this alluring embellished blazer from A Madison with black pants and grabbed all attention during the success bash of her Tamil superhit 'Devi' . The minimal makeup added a classy touch to her appearance. 


Marvelous at MAMI

Tammy, as she is fondly called visited the prestigious MAMI festival in Mumbai with her 'Bahubali' team to showcase the first look of the sequel of the film. She looked resplendent in the elegant monochrome dress by Basil Soda. Her wavy tresses and bright lips only added to her oomph!!!!

Radiant & Refined

This enticing Dhruv Kapoor ensemble made her look exquisite. Hair tied neatly in high bun, and fresh dewy makeup were the highlights of this look. 

How do you like her look? what say guys!

My Ambrosial Date with the Playboy - the launch of playboy cafe in Gurgaon

When Hugh Hefner opened the first Playboy club in Chicago, USA, in 1960, it was visited by almost 132,000 people in three months making it the busiest night club in the world. And now the rabbit has invaded the millenium city and how! 

Playboy cafe is located in the heart of the city at the golf course road. It is a sprawling 14000 sq ft of plush sophistication spread across 3 floors. As I enter, I was bedazzled by the trademark playboy wall featuring playboy models and bunnies. At the centre stage, was the bar and very rightly so. The interiors were swanky and stylish and had a very international appeal. 

It is a multi cuisine restaurant and serves an array of dishes from our very favourite Maggi to delectable pasta carbonara. The drinks were good to start with - the flavoured vodka was delightful and so was the playboy LIIT.

 For the starters we had NACHOS which were delectable, SPINACH & CORN DIMSUMS which were melt in the mouth, DAHI KEBABS were yumm, EGG BENEDICT was a sure shot winner. I also like the MAGGI THAI STYLE which had coconut milk and kaffir lime giving it a Thai flavour. I ordered PASTA ARRABIATTA  which was scrumptious. There was a huge variety of non vegetarian dishes for all my carnivorous friends to choose from ...hehehe!!!!

I love to round off my meals with the most succulent and luscious desserts and was equally happy to polish off a jar full of DECADENT CHOCOLATE CAKE & TIRAMISU. 

Go check this one as its the most happening place in the town.
