Bikers Cafe

 

Having heard & read tons of raving reviews about this cool & happening, through various mediums & forums, especially my latest association with the Zomato team, which have had huge reviews mentioned about this cool little joint located in Vasant Vihar, I decided it was time to have my first hand experience of this Outlet

 

 

Located in the tiny, almost derelict Vasant Vihar market, this outlet has a fantastic approach from the main road - The striking, almost inviting sign board (done on a wooden frame)a cool and nicely done, liittle patio just outside the restaurant- inviting you inside the waiting arms of the little café - add to it, Bikers, Harley davidons, Royal Enfileds, have a certain machismo built as a halo around them - so may be this outlet invites you to unleash the machismo within

 

Inside, the outlet is pretty neatly done, and pics of Legendary Bikers adventures, the next biking destinations & journeys - it immediately sets you off to a cool & casual setting - The staff, suits the mood & ambience of the café - relaxed & casual  - They also have interesting concept of renting out games on an hourly basis - Like Ludo, Scrabbles etc - to keep the chit chat & discussion going forward

 

The food is more of Continental & Italian - Understandably, the Breakfast options are what are the best sellers in the Café -- Their all time hit , is the Bun Maska & cutting chai - reminiscent of the Streets of Mumbai - We ordered for , what turned out to be the signature sandwich of the Café (Bikers Café Special sandwich) --- A triple decker sandwich loaded., with Chicken ham, shredded chicken, generous spread of ,Mayonaise , stuffed with Fried Eggs & served with Coleslaw & French fries -- Looking at the Portion, you will be convinced , that its good enough for a BBB-BIG BIKER BOYS

 

The Other breakfast dish we ordered was the Chilly Garlic Cheese toast - The Garlic flavour was subtle & not overpowering - with just the right amount of melted cheese -- we washed this down with Cups of Masala Chai & Cappucino

 

A heavy breakfast, which saw me through pretty late in the day -- a satisfying breakfast -- going there for more ... On my Car, if not the  Bike

 

 

 

 

 

Sagar Ratna Kalkaji

Being the 1st one writing the review for Sagar Ratna, Kalkaji

for Zomato---- At the Onset, I must say that with the Change in the ownership at Sagar ratna, while there seems to be a rapid expansion in the number of Sagar ratna outlets, the important piece to watch out for, how the quality is being maintained --- "Quality & Service" being the 2 hallmarks on which Sagar Ratna has built its envious brand presence in Delhi --- Quality South Indian food was synonymous with Sagar ratna, for the Delhi wallahs

The Outlet in Kalkaji, by most Sagar outlets standards, is by far the most spacious , well laid out & very brightly lit --- The interesting twists being brought about in the menu, is also something to watch out for -- While the Sagar Ratna team, has introduced varieties in the north Indian fare - namely - Paneer Tikka, Dal Makhanni Combos - Their Rs 39 - starter pricing is pretty attractive as well & is being very well received in the restaurants

Rs 39 - 2 piece Paneer tikka , 1 Piece Dahi Wada / Dahi Idli, Spring Rolls
Dahi Idlis - I am the biggest fan of Dahi idlis outside the whole of south india --- Soft Idlis, served in a bed of Ice Cold , sweet dahi, flavoured with fried rai seeds - just the perfect snack -- Even the Paneer Tikkas is superb --- served with an Ice Cold Mint Chutney - The tikkas are roasted to Perfection in the Tandoor - Soft, succulent cubes of cottage cheese, roasted in a perfect tandoori marinate --- Perfect for a south Indian speciality restaurant

I did find a bit of difference in the taste of the Masala dosas - The ones served earlier, under the previous management, were a bit oily & a soft masala stuffing - the current ones, were a bit crisper, & stuffing was tad bit dry -- The Chutneys - Coconut, Green Chutney & the Tomato Chutney - were just perfect

Great going Sagar Ratna -- Keep expanding the Outlets ----- & keep delivering the taste
