Vapour Grill, Gurgaon - 4/5

I was at the leisure Valley Food court in sec 29 Gurgaon recently wanting to spend an evening at the Vapour Bar Exchange on a Thursday evening, but destiny had other plans for me. Or should I say it was serendipity. On a Thursday evening Vapour Bar exchange was over crowded and we did not manage to get even a single table so disheartened as we were until their Manager recommended that incase we were interested in having some fresh Brews we could also head to their newly opened Grill on the Ist floor and I am glad that we made that choice.

I know I was apprehensive about the concept because I had fallen out of love with the table grill concept. There was a time when one would flock around Barbeque nation or Pirates of Grill to have their all you can eat Appetizer and Mains Buffet. But gradually one got tired of the concept and definitely wanted something new. Or maybe something else if not anything new. Then came the ancient barbeque which joined the herd and did not offer anything new. The Manager at the Vapour Grill explained that they were not the run of the mill all you can eat appetizer buffet kind of a place. And only as the evening unfolded did I realize that he was right. They are the only barbeque / Grill restaurant to have the following –

1.        Micro brewery

2.        Mongolian Grill

3.        Live Pizza Counter

4.        Live Pasta Counter

5.        Live dessert counter

6.        Live Indian street food counter

The ambiance of the vapour Grill is very colourful with murals on the walls and some Bollywood foot tapping music enhances your meal. Our server began the service on the table and decorated our table with some nice grills. My friends began enjoying the beer from their micro brewery. Out of the table grills I really enjoyed the Tandoori Prawns, Tangdi Kebab, Kasundi Fish, Paneer Tikka, Seekh Kebab and Crispy Potatoes. The batter coated corn was just mind blowing. Just that the Angaara Mushroom Tikka was a little spicy for me. I loved the Dahi Poori and the Cinnamon coated barbeque Pineapple was served in a very interesting way. I also enjoyed the fruit Punch and the Mojito.

Then we marched towards the Mongolian Grill and I asked the chef to mix and match loads of unique and rare meats that most restaurants in the city do not serve. I got a Mongolian mix of octopus, squid, chicken, quail and chicken sausage with some veggies in a spicy sauce. This grill was prepared and served on our table and let me tell you it was superb. I also enjoyed a portion of Penne in white sauce and some superb cheesy heart shaped Pizza.

The only thing I do not like about all you can eat buffets is that you tend to over eat. I was so full but still I could not resist tasting the mains. The Potato Koliwada and the methi fish were superb and both the veg and chicken Biryani’s were fabulous. I had to skip the other items and jump straight to dessert for obvious reasons. Enjoyed some piping hot Moong Dal Halwa, Gulab Jamun & jalebi, along with some Ras Malai. I still feel disheartened that I could not try so many items since I ended up over stuffing myself. I am definitely going back for a Brunch some day to do full justice to all items. And to top it all the pricing for such a whole lot of food is very very attractive. I would definitely give a two thumbs up to this place.
