Binge- DLF Phase I

One of the best places in Qutub Plaza Market. A Must Visit once and you are bound to step into this place everyday post that.

Shakes;
I once tried the Chocolate Shake and the consistency, the chocolaty taste, the chocolate sauce that you taste occasionally in every sip makes the shake the Best VALUE for MONEY item on the menu. If I had to guess the ingredients it's probably made with a dark Chocolate sauce, cocoa powder(minimal), and Chocolate powder. You can make it at home and if you do (boost or bournvita would also help).

Coffee Shake:
This again is so similar to what you might make at home but then at Binge it's a little different as they have to add a few additions to the coffee to make sure it stands out. But it's not bad and tastes good. But I wouldn't have it.

Oreo Shake
A commendable attempt by Binge. This Shake is fine, can have it once or twice but not always. You can make this at home as well. Oreo biscuits crushed in milk are left in the bottom as a concentration while a chocolate milk is added on top, so you drink it with crushed biscuits in every sip.

Death By Bliss.
This piece of pastry is surely Bliss. Best eaten when heated. The pastry is heated and broken in two, the moment you start eating it, with every bite you are delighted. Melted chocolate drips down from the middle of the cake with every bite you take. You cannot have enough of it. This surely is heavenly.

Vaango!- DLF Cyber City, Cyber Hub.

Wanted to have a light evening snack and decided to try Vaango!
The idly was priced at 70 which I felt was ridiculously high for the place.(I am from Hyderabad and yes we too have places that sell a plate of Idly for that price like Chutneys, Minerva Coffee Shop and a lot more. But then the place and the ambiance too is of that level and that justifies the price charged)

The idly was not spongy at all and was rubbery. Like it was made in the morning and left to dry. Bad!
The Sambar had all the right ingredients but some how it didn't taste the way it should. Something was missing for some reason.
My suggestion, Avoid it!

Burger Point - Qutub Plaza

 

Chicken Chill Lava
 There is little or no place to sit and eat but what else can one expect when he/she decides to go for budget friendly joints. The burger buns were soft and left impressions of the tumb upon taking a bite, that was the plus point. The chicken tikki was crisp and tasted like I was having a burger from McD or KFC, thats how good it was. It consisted of a lettuce leaf with what I believe was chiptole sauce, a cheese slice and some mayo. It consisted of a red chutney which was probably made of those large red chillis which is served with momo's almost everywhere. The burger overall wasn,t so chilly. If in Hyderabad you order something which is high on spice then you are bound to cry and I can gaurantee that one wouldn't be able to finish the food unless he takes a sip of water after every bite.

Starbucks - Sector 29

What better than spending your weekend with food?
I decided I had to give Starbucks another chance as they disappointed me the first time.
Coffee
They decided to serve it without sugar. It wasn't sweet, it was very sour and the person who had ordered did not like it one bit. 
I ordered Caramel
This being milk based coffee with caramel and topped with a lot of cream made the drink too sweet to drink. I requested the Barista to add some coffee to offset the sweetness and he added 2 shots of espresso and the made the coffee sour. I requested for another alteration. The result sweet again. So i took the Coffee drink added it to my Caramel, mixed the cream and viola I did what the Barista couldn't. If this was how I asked for, why was it difficult ?
Probably the original recipe is lot of sweetness but if a customer requests for an alteration then they really should know what to do.
Huge Disappointment.
Another thing i noticed was the price being charged for a slice of pastry. Highly over priced and over rated.
Another negative being the mix up of orders ours was served to someone else and both the times my name was not spelled right.

The ambiance is what impressed me and the rating is just for the ambiance.

Bikanervala Sector 29

This is not a place one would go for the ambiance or the service but would only visit for the fine taste they offer
I being from Hyderabad tried the chat here in Bikanervala for the first time.
Pau Bhaaji
I did not like it.
The bhaaji had a very homely feel to it(except for the amount of oil used) where you could taste boiled potato which justified the price. I am used to having more of street side pau bhaaji and back home the bhaaji is totally different, lemon juice is added to it, onions, coriander and Amul butter and the bhaji is a fine paste. The taste is totally different.

Chole Bhature.
First things first, I found the chole dry and with the Bhatura, I personally like to have some gravy. The quantity was insufficient for me to finish my Bhatura, I left half of it as I didn't have more chole. The chole tasted fine not something out of ordinary. Again I think in terms of taste it can be improved. 

(I have never visited their branch in Hyderabad so can't really compare in terms of taste)
