It sounds extremely parochial but the truth is stereotyping of communities based on practices they indulge in seems to be based on reality...so begins my story. Went to this newly opened place and at first glance seemed nice...went to the ground floor part that serves the Rajasthani Thali along with a host of chaats and dosas etc. I was accompanied by my wife and our 4 year old daughter...please note that ...yes 4 years old.
We ordered a Thali each and our daughter ordered a dosa. The thali had many courses and towards the end of the meal we wanted a repeat of the farsaan which on... read more
I have been eating Just Gelato gelatoes since about a year now. Ok...for a year at their Mysore outlet. Real Gelatoes made the Italian way with passion. Super flavours and varieties.

Had heard about the Maiya's Fine Dine. A 40 item meal at 350 bucks a head and had t check it out. We made it to the 3rd floor through the overcrowded waiting area with a guy bellowing people's names.

Went there on 8th of August 2009 along with the Missus and the Miss...

Old, worn out and still crowded sums up my experience. Was in Delhi on work and was staying in the CP area.Had to meet someone for dinner and decided to meet at this place as my hotel was within walking distance.
Reached there to find the place pretty crowded on a Thursday evening. Seemed to be more packed with foreigners than locals. Service is a tad too slow with obvious preference for foreigner tables.
The food was uniformly good. The Chana bhaturas were the best and the most expensive I have ever eaten.At Rs.210 a portion it was definitely expensive. But no regrets they... read more
