21 gun salute Gurgaon - Truly a Royal Dining Experience .

21 gun salute is a very high end Indian fine dine located in sec 29 Market. It is one of the oldest places in this market which has been consistent on quality and offering a great fine dine experience to its patrons. I had been fishing for an opportunity to visit them for a very long time and finally I got to visit them.

I was quite impressed by the ambiance and the decor and their collection of antiques on display. The staff is very neatly dressed and the seating is huge. We were attended to very cordially despite the fact that it was weekend and they were packed. The menu also has some chinese / Thai and continental dishes. We ordered for a Paneer Tikka and potato smiley / fries platter for starters and for mains we ordered Paneer Tikka Lababdar and Palak Dahidar.

The service was swift and the food arrived well on time and tastewise it was spot on. I absolutely loved the buttery Paneer Tikka and the Dahidar palak which was a very unique dish that I have not had elsewhere. For dessert the fried ice cream was a welcome change than the usual desserts available at most restaurants.

Food is decently priced and portions are sufficient. 21 Gun salute is truly a Royal dining experience as the name promises. Two thumbs up

The Mad Teapot/The Wishing Chair - 3.5/5

The Wishing Chair / The Mad Teapot Cafe is nestled in south point mall and they serve world class vegetarian food and great bakes. They pride in caking themselves a vegetarian cafe and oh yes they serve some great food. They also sell some cute merchandise in case you're interested. The ambiance is so so cute and vibrant and colourful and they have they have some very limited seating for those who want to enjoy a nice cuppa tea and some great sandwiches.

I started with the mind-blowing slice of carrot cake. I know it's a little over the top to pay 220++ for a slice of cake but the carrot cake fan that I am I loved what I ate. Then came the enchanted forest salad. Superb salad with some fresh rocket oranges and feta and a great orange dressing. I only hoped that at that price of 295++ I had some more quantity of the salad. Even though the salad was superb by all means the quantity doesn't do justice to the price.

The two sandwiches served with some killer potato mash. Loved the Faraway farm sandwich with some yumm mushrooms and fresh cheese. The whatzizname Sandwich was mind blowing with fresh mozzarella tomatoes and pesto. The bread that was used to make the sandwiches was phenomenally fresh and amazing.

Service is fast and food is good. If only the pricing was a teeny bit competitive. But nonetheless I adore the food. With 4 items and taxes the bill was 1375.

Recommend this cafe to one and all. Truly superb
