I love Desi Vibes for a decade now, but this was my first visit to the Connaught Place outlet!

Loved the beautiful setting, service and their trademark achaar box, mini papad etc. Special mention for the finger bowl with rose petals in it 😍

All these little elements make an ordinary experience special and add so much value!

Coming to the star, the chicken was tender with flavour reaching the innards of the flesh. The gravy was thick and delicious, I licked the bowl clean ;)
It was delicious to say the least & has to be among the finest ones I have ever had, and yeah I ate BC at Moti Mahal, Daryaganj last week :P

All in all it was one fine experience 😃

Delhi never ceases to amaze me!!

Fairmont,Jaipur

Lal Maas, the fiery red mutton curry from Rajasthan is one of my favourite meat dishes!
Having travelled extensively in Rajasthan, I have tried various versions of this famed dish at lots of places including homes.

This one at Fairmont Jaipur is the best I have ever had, super hot with that perfect smokiness.

The meat was so tender & the consistency of the gravy was just apt!
Oh thank me later!

If you are craving for some desi Chinese food loaded with sauces and MSG, head to this super dingy place called The Spot on DB Gupta Road, Karol Bagh, Delhi .

The portions are huge and prices are dirt cheap!
The place is low on hygiene but big on taste!

Hot, spicy and huge portion- enough for two people!
