I was invited
for this blogger event to experience the taste of Purani Delhi. As we speak
about Old Delhi, the place that comes to our mind is Chandani Chowk which is
considered the hub of authentic food. This was my first time in Zodiac and must
say that the ambience is very nice with zodiac signs on the walls.
As we are all
aware that ITC hotels are known for its quality food, in continuation of this
legacy they have brought the taste of Purani Delhi right here in Gurgaon. Bringing
the authentic taste to the place was made possible by Chef Inder Dev who has
done an intensive research of the food items before putting it on the menu. We
started with lassi along with kalmi bada, bean mathri and pyaaz bhujia which
were nicely cooked.
More snacks
were served such as bhalla papri, chhole bhature and gol gappay. Among these my
favourite was bhalla papri which had a tangy taste.
We started
the main course with non-veg food like Goli kabab and dora kabab. Both of them
tasted out of this world! I had also tasted biryani with chicken korma and
chengezi chicken. I am a die hard non-vegetarian so could not experience much
of the veg course. However as per others
bloggers, veg items were equally awesome.
Out of the entire main course I liked Matka Ghost, Goli Kabab, Dora Kabab
and Biryani. All the dishes were cooked in the same way as you will find in
Purani Delhi and the best part is after a long time I have tasted authentic
Biryani.
After eating
all the mouth-watering dishes there was very less scope of sweets. Yet, I
believe every Indian will agree with me that we all have a secret space in our stomach
which opens up when we see desert. We
were served with Rabri Jalebi, Rasgulla and Phirni. The Jalebi was good and
tasted great when mixed with Rabri. The Rasgulla was also good and the Phirni
was excellent with less sweet content.
Overall below
are my ratings.
Ambience-4/5
Food-4.5/5
Staff-5/5
This is a
must visit place and do not miss the food festival “Purani Dilli ki Galliyan”
