Naile Pe Dehla

This is a great spot but slightly out of the way of the happening nightlife of CP. The closest metro is barakhamba road. It is in M blocks almost at the corner opposite statesman house. The drinks are great. They have various flavor i fused vodka preps and the cocktails are great. The food is good and the portion size is adequate. They keep experimenting and dont be afraid to try out these oddly named dishes. We tried the pappu goes south chicken prep and it was good.

We were headed to Connaught place for a College friends reunion and the place that we all wanted to check out was {Niche} lounge and Bistro, as we had heard that they recently introduced a new menu. Located on the outer circle of Connaught place in M block, this lounge is on the second floor above Chew restaurant and right next to Garam Dharam. The nearest metro station is the Bara Khamba metro station which is a two minute walk. We ordered both vegetarian and non vegetarian food along with their intriguing cocktails. # Palak Patta Tartlets - a delectable version of Spinach leaf chat, with spicy potatoes, sweetened yogurt, mint and tamarind chatni topped with some sev. It was served on a grass platter with smoke effects to make it look lively. #Feta ki Potli- a very interesting combination of Feta cheese, zucchini and corns, hidden inside deep fried wonton sheets, served along side tomato-amla paste. #Pappu Chicken- only item we ordered which wasn't appreciated by anyone, it was a boneless chicken topped with thick sauce and looked amazing but something was missing in it, it lacked flavours. Avoid #Chicken Khurchan Tacos- we were so happy with the Vegetarian version,  so we ordered the chicken version as well, another meticulously prepared dish served with kasundi sour  cream and salsa, much loved by all the carnivores. #Pulled Kathal Tacos- crunchy Tacos filled with veggies and Kathal (pulled Kathal if you believe in such a thing though) served along with two dips, one was a salsa and the other was a kasundi sour cream. This is a must have, brilliant flavours of the Kathal along with the sour cream. #Bhatti ka Murg- clay oven cooked full chicken legs marinated with brown onion paste, cashews and spices. A satisfying meal for our gym freak, healthy foodie friend. #Tandoori chaat- this chat pata mix of sweet potatoes and fruits marinated with exotic spices was enjoyable. #Chakli Fish- marinated with Kasundi, these melt in the mouth river sole fish fingers were crusted with South Indian Chakli and were served along with tartar sauce and some salad beside the fries. We tried a lot of cocktails but the one that was the best was a tea based cocktail. #Chai and Rye Julep- which had chai infused Rye, green cardamom sugar, Apple cider, orange bitters and the Niche twist to it. Amazing flavours and brilliant kick. The chef himself came out to our table to prepare the chefs special dessert which was a combination of fresh fruits, sponge cakes dry fruits and lots of Sauces with frozen vanilla ice cream on top. The service was impeccable and food was excellent, people say Niche is all about the experience and I agree we had a lovely experience at {Niche}, so you too can expect the unexpected.
