Cafe Delhi Heights

I had a lovely meal last week at Cafe Delhi Heights at the Ambience Mall Gurgaon. The decor is very simple and the place has a relaxed atmosphere. The chairs are a little uncomfortable though. The menu is extensive and you'll find salads, sandwiches, pasta and popular mains both asian and continental.

After going through the menu a couple of times wondering what to order, something familiar or unusual, I just gave up and asked the service staff for advice. The young man suggested I try their famous Juicy Lucy burger. The name sounds pretty weird however it tastes great and they've already sold over 22,000!

My colleague ordered pasta with mixed sauce, I know, sounds plebian right, but you'd be amazed it tastes delicious!

The chef rings a little brass bell whenever an order is ready for service and soon the bell rang for us. 

The portions are huge, reminded me of the ones I've had in the US, the lamb burger lived up to its name and was very juicy. Just a little note to the chef, the juicy stuff actually makes the lower part of the bun soggy and unappetizing. The pasta was very nice, tomatoey and creamy, with shreds of chicken adding to the flavour.

While we were having our meal, the table next to ours had ordered what looked like mocha frappes in these cute glass jars. Very creative.

In case you plan to go there on a Friday afternoon, plan ahead, there's a huge rush and the wait time is over half an hour. In fact on the previous occasion we were unable to get a table and went to the Zambar, a Kerala themed restaurant on the same floor. Had an interesting meal there too, but that's going to be another post.
