Eastern Cravings

While India has had a love-hate relationship with China over the years, one thing that hasn't changed is our romance with Chinese food. I remember reading somewhere that nearly 40% of all restaurants in India offer Chinese or pan-Asian cuisine in some form or the other. With such fierce competition, it's not easy for any stand-alone eatery to distinguish itself in this space. But Delhi's Eastern Cravings is certainly up to the challenge. I rarely like to comment on a restaurant till I have had the chance to sample its menu on several occasions. After all, every business can have a bad day and, even the worst cook in the world can sometimes get lucky. Consistency is the one thing that sets apart the true winners from the also-rans. Having had sumptuous meals from Eastern Cravings on several occasions, I can now safely vouch for it in terms of taste, quantity and pricing. The menu is pretty extensive and covers not only Chinese but dishes from several South-East Asian countries including Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. Above all, I think what really works for the place is that it is run by an owner who is obsessed with customer service and sees each feedback as an opportunity to improve. That kind of commitment also reflects in the quality of food that comes out of its kitchens. Take for instance the Thai green curry. I last had something as good only in Bangkok, and never since. And if a dish can capture the soul of the country that it represents, it is also able to touch your heart. The mixed meat noodles is another personal favourite and comes loaded with proteins, whether chicken, lamb or seafood. Unlike several other eateries that I have had the misfortune to order from, the chef at Eastern Cravings does not attempt to mask stale ingredients with a mouthful of chillies or randomly tossed-in spices. The flavours are fresh and mild, and possibly as authentic as you can get without making a trip to Beijing. Other dishes that I have tried and can happily recommend, include the Crispy Ginger Malaysian basa fish, the juicy chicken drumsticks, the diced chicken with butter garlic sauce and the Hakka noodles. To be honest, the prices at Eastern Cravings are not cheap, especially if you compare it to your neighbourhood Chinese joint. But the portion sizes are generous and each dish can easily feed 2-3 people. Moreover, I think that ordering in or eating out is all about enjoying the experience and it's ok to pay a little more for quality food, rather than subject yourself to something that's as disgusting and inedible as it is cheap. The packaging that the food gets delivered in is also immaculate, with sauces and disposable cutlery completing the restaurant-like experience at home. As I am sure you have realised by now, Eastern Cravings has become my go-to destination whenever I want to treat myself or my family to a tasty, wholesome pan-Asian meal that doesn't break the bank.

I ordered Dal Makhani and paneer tikka masala from Indian cravings last night. The food was delivered timely and was still hot upon arrival. Dal makhani was delicious and looked even better. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Paneer tikka masala was yummy. It had a good amount of spices which made it's taste amazing. I would recommend this place.

Having a long day at work, I wished to dig in to something good and authentic tonight, that's the time I found out this delivery joint serving delicious Mughlai and North Indian delicacies so I gave it a shot. The menu has good range of options which are also pocket friendly. I ordered few items, some of them I'd like to recommend are: 1. Malai paneer tikka- One of the best indeed I have ever had in a delivery, they soft and succulent cottage cheese cubes along with rich cream made this the star dish tonight. 2. Pindi chana- A main course which I ordered for my whole family as it's their favourite being a punjabi. The dish had good balance of flavours and full points for presentation too.

Nowadays Chinese food is everywhere. Good Chinese food, however, is still a hard find. But this little place called 'Eastern Cravings' has some of the best food on offer! This chicken manchurian is a STAR dish! So meaty, so delicious and so good in consistency! Loved it with the hot noodles! Special mention to their amazing and on point packaging!

A fine hidden gem in my area, Eastern Cravings does exactly what the name suggests. It curbs your cravings for East Asian Cuisine! They're primarily a delivery outlet that began serving from East of Kailash, and now are in Greater Kailash 2 as well. First thing's first, I love how clean they are. The packaging was beautiful. So minimal, so neat, so clean. They gave a set of chopsticks and assorted dips in a separate container, which was heat-sealed too. Coming to the food, since I was just trying out this particular outlet in Greater Kailash, I ordered the very exotic Vietnamese Chili Chicken and the Vietnamese Spring Rolls. The Chili Chicken was nothing like I have ever had before. It looked like the same old, but tasted vibrant and different. Their quantity is amazing. They really give you food worth your buck. The Vietnamese Spring Rolls were a nice surprise too. Thin rice paper rolls stuffed with vegetables, noodles and they had a very prominent mushroom stuffing too. Beautiful. Eastern Cravings has not disappointed me before and it did not disappoint me now. Probably one of the finest places in South Delhi for home delivered East Asian Cuisine!
