FresCo Restaurante in Ambi Mall

Fresco literally means “fresh” in Italian. And that is one thing that is true of the salad bar available in this great little restaurant in Ambi mall. One of the biggest complaints I always have when ordering salads (in restaurants around Gurgaon) is that the salad leaves are usually pretty tired looking and not so fresh. But in this place, I couldn’t have asked for better salad when we decided to enjoy their buffet for lunch.

Get fresh beer at Ambi Mall in Gurgaon

A friend of mine who runs the awesome cartoon blog Brainstuck, was in town a couple of weeks ago and we decided to catch a movie at the Ambience mall. After the movie, we pondered on some place to go and eat. He wanted to try out the brand new joint called Rockmans’s Beer Island (located on the top floor of Ambi mall).

Here follows a review of the place.

Good Tex-Mex at Ambi Mall

Whenever we are thinking of Mexican food, we think of Rodeo’s as destination. And that is not really a  bad thought. But since diversity is the spice of life, we need to know what other options are out there. So, I introduce to you IndiJoe – this is a “tex-mex” style restaurant, which also serves other styles of cuisine. We ate there a couple of weeks ago, and let me tell you up front – the conclusion is that we will definitely go back to it. But, here’s a little more detail about our experience:

Barbecue Nation – a treat for your palate

Both my wife and I enjoy eating out a lot. So, yesterday, we decided to try out a place we had never heard of. It is called Barbecue Nation. Let me give you the conclusion first: we are definitely going to go back whenever we can, and keep going back. With that out of the way, let’s concentrate on our impressions of the place in detail.

While I try to post reviews about restaurants that I visit, there is no way I can cover them all on this site. And till now I have not found too many great options available on the Internet as well. That now changes. A friend of mine pointed me to Foodie Bay.

Real Chinese Food – The Monk

The typical Chinese restaurant in India will serve you the localized version of Chinese food (think Chowmein with Vinegar). And Indianized-Chinese is very delicious, no doubt. But every once in a while, you want to eat authentic cuisine. This is where niche restaurants such as The Monk come in.

Punjab Grill at Ambience Mall

It seems that the only place we go to these days is Ambi mall. What can one do? The other places are way too crowded, and it is much easier to get here because of the highway. Although, I have to say that every time we go there it seems more crowded that before. Well, this time around, we had gone to watch Jaane Tu (finally) and decided to try out this new restaurant in the food court called Punjab Grill.
