Here is my input, apparently being a BIG food buff.
1. Lazeez Affaire - Malcha Marg (also GK and Def Col) - For some amazing kebab experience. The dal is good and the mutton is to die for.
2. Culinaire - The road-side restaurant in GK II - Chilled out with amazing chicken satay and green/red Thai curry (went there last night for the 3rd time this month)
3. Golden Dragon - Gurgaon - Must eat the prawns and spare ribs, LIP SMACKING!
4. Big Chill - Khan Market and East Of Kailash - Truly my idea of chilling out. I think I've had almost EVERYTHING on the menu there. Yes, that includes the desserts and mocktails as well.
5. Mainland China - Masjid Moth/GK II - Excellent authentic Chinese food, lovely ambiance and great service.
6. The Chinese - CP Middle Circle - Unlike the restaurants in CP, this one is classy and prim, with some mouth watering crackling spinach and super super spicy chilli garlic noodles.
7. Its Greek to me - Safdarjung Enclave market - Not authentic Greek food but somewhat close. The food is good (esp the choice) and has a nice lounge to chill (some what on the lines of Shalom)
8. Rice Bowl - Patel Nagar Market - Amazing Chinese but the location does not do justice.
9. Mughal Mahal - Sethi Bhawan-Rajendra Place - The best butter chicken in town. Those of you who have eaten will know what I mean.
10. Laidback Waters (its by Shalom) - Qutab Hotel - As the name suggests, a very loungy, chilled out place. Dimly lit and low seating and that moroccon touch. Serve some delicious cocktails.
11. Yellow Brick Road - Coffee shop of The Ambassador Hotel - Have the fresh watermelon juice and the Thai curry!
12. Larry's China - The Ambassador Hotel - AUTHENTIC Chinese!
13. Smoke House Grill - Masjid Moth/GK II (next to Mainland China) - The hottest watering hole, with super american food. Try the flavored Mojitos for sure.
14. All American Diner - India Habitat Center - Awesome American food. Have had almost everything here as well. Must eat - Bacon strips and just about everything else.
15. Veda - CP Outer Circle (Rohit Bal product) - Amazing choice of wines, small food menu but its HOT!
16. Sartoria - Basant Lok, Vasant Vihar - One of the better places for Italian, very authentic feel and super ambiance. The wines are too good.
17. Arabian Nites (Vasant Vihar) / Arabian Delight (Def Col) - For the doners. And the Jo Jo kebabs, available at Arabian Delight
18. Lemon Tree - Gurgaon - Go eat an English breakfast here. Only competitor for the All American Diner in this respect.
Phew! I will stop here, though I do have more places to mention but most of them have already been covered before.
Been and eaten at ALL the places mentioned by all the members, except Karims. Ya I know, I'll go!
Cheers
