Scintillating taste and aroma -Wagh Bakri Tea Lounge- Connaught place, Delhi





Located in the outer circle of Connaught place, in the vicinity of central Delhi, this lounge is a good option for a teetotaler. Wagh Bakri tea lounge offers a plethora of variants of tea. Here you can witness the legacy that wagh bakri has built over the century, An experience that has been accumulated by being one of the top sellers of tea leaves in the Indian Subcontinent . The tea lounge serves over 45 varieties of tea, which include varieties of Darjeeling and Assam teas, organic teas, tea mocktails, and even ice-cream tea. The whiff of cardamom and fresh brewing tea is the welcome note here. It is a cosy and well-lit outlet with lounge sofas to rest your back. The walls are splattered with quotes on tea that are really amusing. The place has sitting at the ground and first floor. The counter and a rack near it are stacked up with different varieties of tea from the house of Wagh Bakri. They serve varieties of Indian Snacks that go hand in hand and go perfectly with your cup of tea served in a Tea Pot. Do try the bun muska, it just melts in your mouth.No confusion about the complimentary khakhra and plenty of snacks to choose from.  This tea lounge is averagely priced and better service than some of the biggest cafe brands. The lounge is unpretentious. I would call it progressive too. This lounge is indeed a good place to try tea and snacks. With a variety of tea variations like- chocolate tea, kesari tea, adrak tea, green tea, etc.

The best part of this tea lounge is that it  is pocket-friendly ( you can have decent snacks and hot awesome tea under 300 for 2 people). Many other tea lounges  in trade are extremely costly ( teas starting at 150 and above plus unhealthy overpriced snacks) .Staff is very polite and eager to serve.
 Tea is really yummy. (try Wagh bakri perfect and masala one in hot tea ) it is served with one piece khakra. Only tea centre that gives healthy khakra instead of sugary cookies with tea. Some of the areas of concern are - It is bit small place hence a bit crowded and not very luxurious. Can be better in terms of music as it's always just TV with news and cricket. They also offer Tea Bags that come handy during the travel. Overall, I would say one of the best places for any tea lover. Food: 4/5Ambience: 4/5Service:4/5Value for money:5/5.

Dinner in exotique Moti Mahal Delux-DaryaGunj






It has the look, feel and ambience of a heritage super old restaurant with fine delicacies. The interiors are outdated the settings are old the tables and chairs are creaky. Had dal handi and dum aloo both were excellent. It's a bit overpriced but considering the location and set-up of the place, I would say it's worth it. A very short walk away from Red Fort and even on another end Delhi Gate makes it the best place to eat . It is a very old and popular restaurant. Famous for its veg and non-veg delicacies. I missed taking the pictures of the food, as we pounced on the food as soon as we saw. but the pathetic condition of washroom they were very dirty doesn't go with family. prices are very high in comparison to dishes, the staff is very rude and non-cooperative. But I guess, I'm willing to side away the modern-day charm to taste some excellent food.

Food: 3/5
Ambience: 3/5
Service: 1/5
Value for money: 3/5

Plagiarism is not new, it had been existing since the Victorian era. No writer can go very far if the ideas are not original or there is some newness in it. Even a simple love story can be told in thousand of interesting ways. Taking inspiration from anyone’s life or incident is not plagiarism if one can tell the story in his own original way. Plagiarism to me is an equivalent to sin. There is no art or fun in copying the ideas.

Our special Pind-Pind Balluchi (Regal Building-Connaught Place)



I visited this place and had an all-vegetarian dinner. The food was so satisfying and tasty I am not so sure about other branches of Pind Balluchi, but the CP branch was too good and I highly recommend it. Talking about the ambiance, I must say the place was cozy and live with high chairs, dim lights making it an amazing place for lunch or dinner. It's a decent place to hang out with friends or family. They have a fair waiting time but the food is most of the times worth that wait. The staff is cordial and the music is good to go with food. One thing is that the menu can be made a bit more versatile, other than that the place is brilliant. The place is great for family get together; the place is designed to give you a look and feel of Punjab. The food is great service is also good. You will love the ambiance once you enter the place. And if u are lucky enough they also offer on the move musician and the sound of music just brightens up your mood. Visiting here is always a value for money and they put in their little extra effort.  So that your dining experience should be a good experience and it will make your time worth it. But do remember you might have to wait for some time if going for dinner. You get on-demand waiter service by pressing the button that on your table to decision them.  The costs of fine feeding, approx, value for two-person is along with was drinks ₹2000.

Chilli which is Yellow- The Yellow Chilli (V3S Mall)

Went for dinner on Saturday night, it's a big restaurant with good capacity, got a decent seating, overall food ordered was all main course and all veg, the quantity was good enough for 2 people. But, iI was really disappointed with the serving style of yellow chilli. The name of this restaurant is given by famous chef Sanjeev Kapoor. So, it is a little costly. The food is really delicious. However, you may face some delay in serving but it will worth when the food comes. This restaurant is a complete package and paradise for all the food lovers, as here they offer veg and non-veg food as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Their Lalla Mussa dal, paneer taka-tak, platter and nans are to die for. Hats off to Sir Sanjeev Kapoor for creating this soul satisfying marvel. Surprisingly did not understand why did they remove Khasta roti from the menu? It was...yummy. Prices are good from the point of view of fine dining, approx. cost for 2 people is ₹1500-2000. The place is large for a gathering of 15-20 people but nothing much to do here except having drinks and food Overall it had been sensible in atmosphere and style.
