Paris Cafe Zomato Meetup - January 2015

Most of the top Kolkata foodies were pretty much excited about this day! It was the Zomato foodie meetup at Paris Cafe, Saltlake sector-5. Most of the guys were in by 1 PM and we started chatting and shring our views on different topics about  restaurants, food, life and ofcourse Zomato. Several Zomato App features were discussed and we were all buzzing with new ideas and suggestions.

Soon after this people were seen only clicking pics of their food and hogging! Starting from starters to desserts, all the items were prepared so well. Perfection written all over them. Thank you Sneha (owner of this place) and Zomato for making this meetup experience such a wonderful one and for all the lovely memories.

Coming to the food items I had tried - Ginger tea, stuffed mushroom, Mushroom Quesidilla, ginger glazed chicken wings, crumb fried prawns, Fish steak, Mojito, Rainbow Slice, Red velvet cake, chocolate caramel slice.

Each and every item was awesome, the crumb fried prawns, Fish steak, Red velvet cake, chocolate caramel slice everything was just stunning!
I was so stuffed but just wanted to get back for more. Infact this was my 2nd visit to Paris Cafe, sector-5. I being the first one to review this place on Zomato found remarkable improvement in most of the departments including service and food. Really great going Sneha, keep it up.

Cheers to good food and good life!

Time for Peri Peri - Nando's, Cyber city, Gurgaon

To satisfy your meat craving there are several options available at Cyber Hub, including the newly opened Holy Smoke. But who can forget Nando's if you want to have some of their lip smacking juicy Peri Peri Chicken along with their equally mouth watering sides like Coleslaw, Corn-on-the-cob or Potato wedges. We went in there couple of days back craving for some of their signature hot Peri Peri chicken and when we came out we were four super-satisfied souls!  

Our tables were not booked when we went in for this weekday lunch but luckily enough we didn't have to wait at all. The place has an ambiance which is just right with nice comfortable seating arrangements which is not at all cramped up (along with neat high-chairs available for toddlers). If you are having kids with you try their special 'Little Grown Ups' meals which come in aptly colorful plates making it all the more attractive. The waiters here are very prompt, friendly and helpful with enough knowledge about what they are serving.

Coming to the food - we ordered for the Jumbo platter having two whole Lemon & Herb Peri Peri Chickens (snap above) with five large sides including French Fries, Coleslaw, Corn-on-the-cob, Potato wedges, Seasonal grilled veggies. Along with these we had some chicken breast burgers, bottomless Coke, Orange juice and Portuguese lemonade. Apart from the burger everything else was just awesome. The bread in the chicken burger could have been softer and more fresh. But with the juicy flame-grilled Peri Peri chicken in my mouth I was for the moment taken to a gastronomical wonderland, it was really so good! The super marination was clearly evident, rightly spiced, flavored and juicy. Just melts in your mouth! Also they are served in good portions that really fills you up. And to mention - the Seasonal grilled veggies, Coleslaw, Corn-on-the-cob and Potato wedges were super tasty and goes so well with the grilled chicken. With the addictive Hot and Mild Peri Peri sauces these dishes are always taken to a next level for sure. Also do try out the Portuguese lemonade, it's really nice.

Though you can't term this as a pocket friendly place but given the quality of food, ambiance, service and the overall dining experience this is surely quite a reasonably priced place. You can definitely consider this for your office lunches or taking your family out on weekends. Overall - I give this place a 90% positive feedback and this would stay right on top of my mind everytime I visit  Cyber Hub, Gurgaon.

Cheers!
