With our days in Delhi numbered, we are doing our version of greatest food hits. The Sikkim stall at INA Dilli Haat is our favourite place for Momos in Delhi.

We had long awaited for an occasion to dine in @masalalibrary and finally it came in the form of the 10th anniversary.

If @indianaccent was style with substance, Masala Library was more style than substance. Of the dishes we ordered, we felt focus was more on fusing the different styles and cuisines, than the end result. But not all was lost, here are some of the dishes we enjoyed – Mango in jellied form with Coconut milk presented as a cracked egg, Galouti abab on an extremely soft Khamiri roti, Cod fish Kichidi which was more of a risotto and dehydrated and candied orange. The one we really loved was Jalebi Caviar served in a conch with rabri and saffron air!

Loved the decor in Mount Fuji, as much as the food !


Though it’s just a number, it’s been 10!


The Missus’ birthday lunch was at our favourite pizza joint in Delhi 28 Capri Italy.

We had the lovely Spinach Dip, Meatball Pizza and Sicilia Pizza.

The hot and creamy Spinach Dip with crunchy toast on a rainy afternoon was just the perfect start. Had it been at home, the bowl would have been squeaky clean 😎.

The Caesar Salad on the other hand was an absolute wimp, having neither crunch nor taste. It could have been avoided.

Their pizzas as usual stood out and provided a sense of satisfaction that all is still well in this old joint. Especially the Sicilia, it was a burst of flavours. Totally loved it.

And how else could this meal have been finished — Caramel Custard and black coffee 😊

Murugan Idli Shop, Besant Nagar

That mixture of hot sambar and cold coconut chutney is my happy space!

But the best thing we had so far in Chennai has to be the Sweet Pongal at Murugan Idli shop! Just perfect!!

The way this meeting came about. .

Me: Hey @tahseenquadri, is 11am a good time for Chai. Tahseen: This is Hyderabad dear, anytime is Chai time!

And 4 Chai, 2 Fine Biscuits, 2 Samosas, 1 Egg Puff cost less than ₹100! 😱

Nagaland’s Kitchen, Delhi

Had one of the amazingly simple and flavorful lunch in a long time and yet feeling a lot lighter after all of this! .

They did not skimp on the meat in the Momos. Look at their size!

The Naga Thali was a nice introduction to the variety on offer. As I mentioned before, super light and healthy. The Raja Mirch extra spicy chicken was not that spicy for us. The chutneys in our house are at times spicier than this 😜.

Overall a must try place!

Along with the lunch we had some Korean Rice Beer. Tried it for the first time and super liked it. A very summery drink with very little fizz and full of flavor!

Love the fact that @theartful_baker is open at 7 in the morning (a rare event among Delhi shops) with oven fresh goodies!!


Met @f2000560 for coffee yesterday and we tried @bluetokaicoffee’s cold brew for the first time. Not my preferred way of drinking coffee.

But the American Grilled Cheese sandwich from @bigfatsandwichindia was 👌!!
