As promised I am writing about Mangal Ratan, Dwarka here. This is a closeby restaurant that is a defacto choice when we are late for dinner, not feeling like going out and not feeling like cooking either.

Mangal Ratan has really tasty food and service is pretty ok. Many times we get the food delivered but once in a while we also go to the restaurant. Here are my ratings:

We went to a good restaurant called Garam Masala in Chanakyapuri for lunch. Initially we were supposed to meet at Defence Colony and this paragraph could have been about Gola's Sizzlers but we were destined to find Garam Masala. I liked the ambience. There was a wedding party decoration just outside the restaurant that made it look more beautiful. Comfortable seats, quick and polite staff and good food would make me go to this restaurant again when I am in that area.

Yesterday we decided to go to Raja/Rajouri garden for dinner and the chosen restaurant was Priviledge Punjab. Parking at this restaurant is tricky, we went at a convinient time and got a spot right in front of the restaurant but I think it can be a daunting task otherwise. The food was good, I didn't like the tomoto soup though Tull liked it. Awadhi Shahi Paneer was delicious and their laccha parantha was awesome. It was a average restaurant nothing impressive about it but nothing wrong about it either.

We went to Raja Garden on Friday and decided that we would go to this side more often now. Every time we want to watch a movie, we either drive to Gurgaon or towards south delhi Raja Garden has some good malls and a few popular restaurants too.

We went to Pind Baluchi for dinner. Its impressive facade made me think this would be a costly afair, but we wanted to celebrate :-) The ambience was good, a model well in the middle of the restaurant, a tree, broken brick walls and dim light with wall painting.

The waiters were wearing traditional punjabi kurta and dhoti and food was awesome. The cooking was super fast and service impressive. On top of this Pind Baluchi is one of the cheapest restaurants I have mentioned in this blog so far. They have brances all over NCR and we plan to visit more of their branches soon.
