Chef at Large, May – June 2012

Editor’s Note

May was a bit of a slow month considering our usual hectic

schedule – usually landing up at a restaurant still chewing the

last bite from another restaurant.

Even so, we managed 14 new restaurants across Delhi, Mumbai

and Bangalore.

You’ll read about Natasha’s experience at Aloft Hotel, Bangalore

and will be happy to know that we have a new city on board –

Chennai, with Kuki Ravindran (applause) who kicked off her

presence with a property review of Aloft Hotel, Chennai.

The Chef at Large T-shirts arrived a little while back and I’m

thrilled with the way they’ve turned out. I hope you’re all going to

spread the love by ordering some – we’re giving them away at

cost; the more ordered overall, the lesser each of us will end up

paying. Stay tuned. : -)

We’re now trying to establish a plan for what we’ll publish every

month; your suggestions are so very welcome, so please do write

in!

Stay well.

Chef at Large, May – June 2012

Parul thoroughly enjoyed herself at the

Cinco De Mayo promotion at Café [V]

Spot Cafe Bar.

Apart from a disappointing dessert Cafe

Jiji in Gurgaon appears to have

everything else going for it!

My lunch at The Chinese in Connaught

Place was as good as everything I've

heard about this restaurant. A must-visit!

Lemp brewpub has made a conscious

effort to raise the bar for food & beer

menus in pubs across town.

Ardor tries to please everyone and ends

up predictably. Walk in if you're hungry

and you'll leave fairly happy.

Chynna Gold is a great place to awe

out of town guests with highly

acceptable food and lovely decor.

We were pleasantly surprised at the

depth of thought and effort at Kasturi.

You really must visit!

Mamagoto, Saket keeps up it's

reputation of being a fun place for lively

food!.

I say this as probably never before.

You're seriously missing out if you don't

try out both the new menus at Azimuth.

Madhulika made the strenuous journey

to Kokum & Spice and was thrilled with

the food!

Natasha found her Thai craving realized

at High on Thai. Considering she's just

back from Bangkok, that is a compliment

indeed!

If you ever wished there was another

on-table BBQ option in town, your wish

has been granted! BBQ World has

Natasha's seal of approval!

We found the Aloft Hotel to deliver on

all it's promises and recommend it for

business or casual leisure travel.

Khaaja Chowk is a lifesaver for north

Indians in Bangalore, per Aparna Jha

who strongly recommends you visit their

Indiranagar outlet.

Chef at Large, May – June 2012

I had a great time at the Shahjahanabad

Food Festival at Singh Sahib, Eros

Hotel managed by Hilton.

Transported back to her college days,

Parul tried some great Malaysian food at

Asia Alive, Doubletree GGN.

Fresh, authentic, awe-inspiring and

utterly delicious. You really must visit

Oasis at The Claridges, Surajkund.
