Chef at Large

If it is speed of finding a seat during crowded lunch hour and being served ten dishes then this place takes the cake.
As the name suggests the canteen is co located with Andhra Bhavan on Man Singh Road quite close to the BJP national office. It has a separate entrance and hence we [...]

We visited ROC for dinner with Ashwin a few days back. Located in the very first building in SouthEx (coming from AIIMS), ROC is on the third floor of the same building that houses Mango and MAAC.The interiors are clean and inviting, a pure fast food ambience, open kitchens and polite waiters.

Yum.
Bleeeeaaakhhhh!!!
I’m told my expression was worth recording for posterity as I withdrew a strand of hair from [...]
