The Turkey Project

My partner & I waltzed into this very charming restaurant yesterday on a whim. Unfortunately the kitchen was winding down by the time we arrived and the last order was already taken. Mr Robert who manages this place swiftly came to our rescue and offered us the best possible options in terms of food & beverages , making an exception for us. Such thoughtfulness & hospitality blew us away completely. We ordered an arrabbiata pasta along with a red wine Sangria. Hands down one of the best Sangria i've ever had, not only in India but i'm talking about global standards as we've travelled all over the world. Pasta was also top notch & I would like to give a special shout out to Chef Gopal, still dreaming about having another go at that delicious concoction. Safe to say I will be frequenting this restaurant for many years to come. Big thumbs up and much recommended to all!!

The food is limited but absolutely amazing. I couldn't get enough of their mouthwatering dishes. And oh my goodness, their sangria is to die for! 🍷 It's hands down the best sangria I've ever had in Delhi. But it's not just about the food and drinks, the ambiance of the place is so cozy and inviting. It's the kind of place where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy a great meal with friends. The vibes there are so good, it's like a little haven in the bustling city.

A very small place, but ambience and staff was good. For the food, we ordered Santorini summer thin crust pizza, mushroom and cheese bruchetta and vegan spinach ravioli, and the bruschetta was the best with pizza ranking second. Ravioli didnt pick our taste buds much was ok ok. Can go again for the bruchetta and hot pizza 👍🏻

The Turkey Project has been on my radar since a long time. The place is tucked in an unassuming neighbourhood but once you open the doors, you have a charming place with comfortable seats which serves lovely Pizzas and Cocktails. We started off with the Sangrias and the cheese balls. The Sangrias presented so elegantly with mint leaves and flowers. They have a number of ingenious offbeat Sangrias. We were floored by the flavours and how much fun they made the Sangrias. The cheese balls were crunchy on the outside and inside so soft and dreamy! It wasn’t just a couple of slivers of cheese but a whole chunk of it in the middle which gave you a heavenly bomb of cheese in your mouth. The wood fired Pizza was Scrumptious! The crust so crispy and delicate and loaded with delicious toppings and cheese! Must drop by when in the area. The service was absolutely courteous and attentive throughout the course.

The first thing that catches the eye as soon as you enter this place is its quirky interior, which is filled with sassy one- liners and interesting facts. Don’t get fooled by the name, this place doesn’t serve turkey dishes, but instead revolves around the fact that the Turkey is their spirit animal. The preparation of food is impeccable and so is its presentation. While the portions of the mains are quite nice, the same cannot be said for the starters. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

So we were 9 of us, on this hot sultry Sunday afternoon and wanted to grab a quick bite before a show. Driving all the way from Gurgaon towards JLN Stadium, Def Cols seemed to be a sensible choice. Googled some places to eat, zeroed in on this, and no, we weren’t disappointed at all. The food was better than good, the service average, the staff very polite and the damage... 5700/- something for over 15 things ordered. Good portion size as well. If I am on that side of the town, I wouldn’t mind going there one more time, just to try what more they have on their menu. Dishes that stood out were the Thin Crust Pizza/ The hot chicken strips/ the Caesar Salad and the Messy but Sassy hotdog. Definitely worth a one time visit if you are NOT looking for fine dining kind of ambience. This place is cosy and casual. And you will not return hungry.
