The Famous Berry Pies, Berry

Its quite a coincidence that Berry has the famous doughnut shop and another famous pie shop. Well, the famous “ Berry Pie Shop”- small little café and serves a wide array of pies, sausage rolls, pasties and quiches. Simple pie shop. You have the regular pies- steak, steak and cheese, steak and mushroom, steak and kidney. Then you have the sausage rolls, spinach, ricotta and feta roll, vegetable pasties. In the gourmet pies, various versions of the chicken pies- the chicken leek and mushroom, chicken and vegetable, chicken and curry, the butter chicken, chicken with honey and mustard. You also have quiches, and freshly baked bread. Look overall, there is usually a long queue. This is a cash only joint. When I went there, I was interested in the chicken and curry pie or the butter chicken pie. Unfortunately, both were sold out. I was tempted between the Thai green curry pie and the chunky lamb pie. Eventually settled for the chunky lamb pie and the chicken and mushroom pie. ...

UPSC Chaat, Shahjahan Road

All right, what do I get to say about this place. As a kid I remember, coming to India gate on weekends, to play around in the park, revel at the majestic india gate and then having chat at this place next to the UPSC building at Shahjahan Road. Back then, it was difficult to enter this bylane, and there used to be this rush. Being a kid, I just had memories of a few street vendors making sizzling tikki’s, and this rush of people just trying to place their order. After many years, today, I decided to go venture to delhi. As I started my car, I had no ideas of where I would be going. The idea was just a weekend drive, with my mom and brother and just enjoy the perfect weather. Right after diwali, not too warm, a little nip in the air, no ac required, and after having finished with the commotions of commonwealth games, durga puja, dusshera, diwali, and perhaps just before Barrack Obama’s visit, I thought, this is the opportune time to oblige the city with a visit. There were a few option...

Naivedyam, Gurgaon

All right. This one is about Naivedyam. Well, Inthe NCR region- Delhi, Gurgaon, there are lot of restaurants which serve South Indian food. Most are general purpose restaurants which serves almost all cuisines. then there are some special restaurant which serve only specific cuisines. Even in such speciality restaurants, there are some which are one off and then there some chain restaurants. When it comes to South Indian Cuisine usually the most famous names in terms of a restaurant chains is probably Sagar Restaurant, which is deemed to be authentic and having branches all across Delhi. For me, it is not Sagar Ratna. Personally I find it too highly branded, expensive and not so great food. If I were in Gurgaon and I have a craving to eat south Indian food, the place I'd recommend is Naivedyam. Naivedyam in Gurgaon is at Sushant Lok, C block, in a building called Vipul Square. Situated on the top floor, this is a restaurant which has been around for close to 8 years. Reason wh...
