Baker's Cafe, Gangtok Sikkim, India-----------
When roaming around on the popular MG road in Gangtok, Sikkim. MG road is filled with plenty of options to eat and actually requires more than a week if you want to try out many restaurants out there. Baker's Cafe on MG road is amongst them which you may easily locate. A well sophisticated and intriguing from outside. You can easily discover it from the lane. This is how I came across to this place and decided to have my breakfast there. The ambiance is quite dynamic there. You would find people sitting and chatting while enjoying some really appetizing food. It appeared to be a hangout place for youngsters. As the name suggests you may find lots of fresh bakery items apart from food. A very simple and decent seating surrounded by Tibetan prayer flags on the corners of ceiling are part of the decent interiors.

Talking about the food, my Choice for that day included Pasta, Burger and pancake accompanied by a hot latte. The quality and taste of the food can easily describes the popularity of the place. They have clearly focused on the food part and you won't get disappoint in that part too. I was very satisfied with the quantity and taste of food on my plate for that day, I was unfortunate not to visit there again and try out some other items, but yes if you are a kind of person who don't want to experiment with different restaurants, then its definitely a place to enjoy your breakfast. Well, this was my experience which I've just shared with you and would love to hear your experiences and recommendations about Baker's Cafe. Please enjoy the pics below:

Whenever we are out and traveling, one of the important thing which thrilled us is the food. I have been to Mussoorie multiple times but always craved for a place to have good quality Indian food. There is an eating joint right on the Mall Road named "My Shop" an overcrowded place and you have to wait for long to get a table and have food. Apart from this place I do not remember a single restaurant to eat good quality lunch and dinner. On my Last visit, I happened to find this newly opened restaurant "The Urban Turban" which is on the mall road opposite Canara Bank.  

The restaurant has brilliant interiors and the ambiance is quite remarkable. Its very appealing and makes it splendid place to enjoy food. Out of my curiosity, I asked the owner of the restaurant about the interiors and he replied that he himself have designed and are using furniture from nearby place.





 


 





The best part is the variety of food they Offer. We ordered Chicken Curry, Paneer Lababdar with Rice and Laccha Parantha and believe me the food was absolutely delectable. It was not boring and you can definitely feel the difference of taste between the different options you have ordered. Most of the time the gravy taste similar, but here they have maintained a good quality of food and taking care of the legitimacy of food as well. The quantity is good enough and the taste is flavorsome. The service is again something which they deserve another appreciation. It was quick and prompt. I found the servers quite interactive and friendly.

Old Delhi is still seems to be one of the favorite place for food freaks. One can visit any day here and enjoy tremendous variety of savories. Some of the famous eatery joints belongs to this place. Ordinarily, you would find this place full of crowd and busy, but there is something contrasting here during Ramadan days. I have seen and heard a lot about  the Food walks by various Foodies during these days. Keeping that excitement with me and out of curiosity I happened to visit here along with my friend to relish the non-vegetarian delicacies and felt it to be little over hauled in Ramadan Days. I must give credit to many food bloggers of sharing their feast's experience during Ramadan days, which might looks appealing and attractive to many foodies. You will find numbers of outstanding eatery joints but still unknown to most of us. To name few of them which I visited this Ramadan are Haji Mohd Hussain, famous of Fried Chicken,  Aslams Chicken for Cream chicken tikka, Cool Point for Shahi Tukda, Pahalwaan Biryani for chicken and buff biryani, Taufeeq Biryani for Buff Biryani. There are many more eateries but these are some of the selective places, listed on almost most of the food blogs and websites.

My first Iftaar food walk at Jama Masjid, Old Delhi proved to be an admirable and satisfactory experience, however you can enjoy the food here at any part of the year, but the decoration and festive excitement of Ramadan makes it all together a different experience. I thoroughly loved everything I had here starting from chicken dry, biryanis to local sweet savories.

We started our food walk and took first halt at Lalu kebabs, unfortunately kebabs were finished that time, so I tried buff boti Kebab. It was nicely marinated and juicy served with chutney and onion rings but was undercooked. It was overall nice but should be properly cooked.

iftaar food walkMoving forward, we noticed a crowded place, people were waiting for their turn to order the food. The place looks to be famous for the chicken fry as 3-4 people were engaged starting from marinating the chicken then frying it on one big vessel and then other person cutting it into pieces and again putting it in another big vessel for another round of frying and then finally the last man sprinkles the chaat masala and serves it with onion and chutney to you. We opted for chicken fry quarter for Rs. 90 and because the sitting was already occupied, thus decided to stand next to the shop and had this hot and spicy chicken fry delicacy. Believe me guys, it was one of the best chicken fry I ever had in my life. Everything related to it was perfect, properly marinated, juicy, crunchy and super spicy. And the best thing was the chicken was amazingly cooked, it was so soft that we didn't find issues eating it while standing and holding the plate on one hand on a secluded lane.




After finishing it, we looked back and noticed a place name Cool point and decided to try Shahi Tukda price rs. 30 per plate a sweet dish made of bread, Loads of butter, almonds and cashewnuts . Though it  was served hot, but the sweetness and taste was simply divine. This is the first time we had this sweet dish and found it really worth trying it. Later, we also tried Phirni Rs.20 at this place but was not convinced at all with the taste. It was not something which can blew your mind. I was looking for the phirni served with hot milk, but unfortunately didn't find it anywhere.

From the setup outside the shop, this place looks to be good in serving the chicken tikkas and we ordered a quarter plate of chicken tikkas. It comes out as a all together different item. They used to fry the chicken first and then cut it into small pieces and place into iron rods for charcoal grill. After roasting, they put plenty of cream and Amul butter into it and serves along with raita and onion rings. The flavor and taste of it turned out to be a complete surprise to us. The masala sprinkled, cream and butter once got mixed, makes it a delight to eat. But make sure you order rumali roti along with it. Then only you can enjoy the butter and cream of the chicken. Another fine thing to be remembered for long time.

iftaar food walkYou cannot forget the variety  of biryani here and keeping that in mind, we started hunting for best biryanis at Matia mahal. Pehalwaan Biryani is one re known name for biryanis, they offer both chicken and buff biryani. We tried the chicken biryani  for Rs 70 per plate here and didn't find it upto the mark or say as per the popularity of pehalwan biryani. I must highlight the chicken in the biryani which was very tender and can be easily cut from the spoon, but overall it failed to impress and fascinate us.

iftaar food walkWhile searching for Pehalwan Biryaniwale, we came to know about the popularity of taufeeq's biryani and hence decided to try it once. After having tough time finding the place,  known to be as Dil Pasand Biryani Point. They only offers Buff biryani and we were not in the mood to try it and opted to skip it at the end. But manage to click its picture for reference. One more thing to higlight that this place was crowded however we didn't saw anybody aprt from us eating in Pehalwan's biryani point. So, as per me no place here who sells exceptional biryani.

After eating so much chicken varieties and sweets. We were craving for mutton and wanted to try it somewhere other than Karim's and Al-Jawahar. The reason for that was we already tried these twp places many times in the past and wanted to keep this food walk completely distinctive from past experiences. There is a small food point next to Al-Jawahar, its name was Old Jawahar hotel. We went inside and ordered Mutton Korma and Tandoori roti Cost Rs. 160. To be honest, there is nothing worth mentioning about it because it didn't click our taste buds. Mutton was perfectly cooked, but the curry's taste was bland and not tempting at all. It might be because by this time we both were over stuffed and bit tired, but still that's the quality of good food which changes your mood and it was not like that in any ways.

You would notice a variety of food while roaming on the streets, some would attract you or some may not. Best thing is to take things in small portions so that you can try/taste many options. Last thing to mention was the Watermelon and Apple shake. You would find it at one corner of Matia Mahal. The glass cost Rs15 and it is definitely worth trying, very refreshing and chilled, necessary when you are walking so much and that too at a busy and hot n humid day.

  • Haji Mohd. hussain's Fried chicken and Aslams's cream chicken is a must try.

Honey Chilli Potatoes, Pearls Regency
Pearls Regency, Noida Sec 37
With growing numbers of Restaurant and Food Cafe these days, you find it very difficult to stick to one restaurant only. You have numerous options available and most of us wants to try out new places for dinning. There are few restaurants and dining places which you don't want to miss whenever you get a chance and for me Pearls Regency Restaurant is that place. It offers a complete atmosphere for a fine dinning experience. Delicious food, fabulous ambiance accompanied with soothing music are the three most important or might be the only factors matters the most in order to choose a Restaurant. Pearls Regency at Noida Sec37 is one of them. They serves some of the delicious and finest food in Noida. And the USP of this place is the Live Music (Ghazal Singing)

The Restaurant has two section and both are appropriately spacious. They Serves North Indian, Chinese and Thai cuisines. The interiors are quite pretty and aesthetic, satisfying to senses. You will get the memory of childhood days when the interiors were very artistic and were not that contemporary. If you want to enjoy your food along with the Live Ghazals than you must sit in the first section just after the entrance. Other Section is little secluded but preferable for those who wants a quite dinning experience. They have a attached terrace next to the second section and can be employed as smoking zone.

Food & Service:

Food is the main attraction of this place. I always compare the taste of Pearls Regency from other places. I am going here for last 6-7 years now and everything here still feels the same. They have not compromised with the quality of the food and that is the reason you will hardly find this place vacant.
My choice of food that day was Chinese cuisine and thus ordered Honey Chilli Potatoes, Chicken Drumsticks, Chilli Chicken Dry and Garlic Hakka Noodles. Food is served in such a tempting and beautiful way which straight away confirms that you will be having good dinner tonight. The Service is fairly quick and spot on. The moment you enter the restaurant, you would be escorted by their staff person, helping to find the suitable place/table for you. They offers variety of dishes in their menu starting from starters to main-course. To get into more details about the food, you will never get disappointed with the quantity of the food here. They really serves appropriate portion of food and justifies the price for them. Now the quantity doesn't matter if the food is not savory and they will never deceive you in this part as well. This restaurant is very close to my heart and have always loved and enjoyed the food here. Honey Chilli Potatoes were crispy and perfectly garnished with Spring onions on top of it. It was properly marinated with the sauces and was very flavorful. Chicken Drumsticks were falsely ordered instead of my favorite Drums of heaven, it was well coated and crumbly yet juicy from inside. Chilli Chicken and Garlic noodles were again splendid and gratifying in terms of every flavors.

A delicious Feast after Fasting fills more excitement and energy in you and adds-up to a delightful day. The good thing is that nowadays many restaurants are offering special food for Fast (Vrat) and  this led me to explore some popular Eating Joints' thalis (platter) during Navratra.
 
First platter I ate was at Haldiram's . Earlier my plan was to visit Bikanervala and then Niruala's. But I was disappointed to know the fact that Bikanervala at Sahibabad was not offering Navratra thalis yesterday for some reason, hence I decided to visit Bikanervala at Sector 63, NOIDA which has now been shut-down (another disappointment). But as they say "whatever happens, happens for the best" we settled for Naivedyam's Navratri Thali
 
I like South Indian food, but never thought of Navratra Food in their menu. The Thali here comprises of Rava Kuttu Dosa stuffed with mashed potato and tomato, two Idlis, dahi bhalla, Samak Rice, Coconut Chutney, Peanuts Chutney, Vegetables subzi in coconut gravy, Sabudana Papad and Firni and two fried chillis stuffed with salt added to it. We honestly loved every single bit of each item in this thali, though found the firni was little bit undercooked. An all together different flavoured Navratra Meal, I must admit that it is the best meal I had so far.
 
The Special Thali here cost around Rs. 300 Including Tax and unexpectedly surprised me with the flavors and taste.
