Visit to "Lah", Hauz Khas Village,New Delhi.

Hauz Khas is always a happening place for Artisans and Foodie People... Its a fashion's paradise with lots of Fashion Designer Studios.. With every outlet you need a place to eat and chit -chat... Hauz Khas Village has lots of Cafes and Restaurants with good food and with lots of varieties in cuisines...

Yesterday (7th Jan) , we with some of our friends planned to check the food at "Lah", Hauz Khas Village.. Their main serving is based on Southasian Cuisine.. Lah is very easy to locate with  small sign boards on every few foot steps.. As we climbed up the stairs, we found beautifully decorated stairs and ended up to a not so big Cafe... Beautiful Ambiance with humble people on service...
While checking the walls , eyes just stopped on one signboard " We do not serve authentic food but we serve good food" , so there was not point to nag and look for a authentic Malay, Vietnamese or Chinese food... What we learned from the food that they just cook with recipes from famous chefs..
When we settled down on Table , we were served with a glass of water which was tasting like Lemon Grass.. Later got to know that they soak the lemon grass in the tumbler and serve Lemon Grass Water to the guests.. We found it very new and different idea.. Lemon Grass makes you calm and happy :

There were 2 Vegetarian friends with us so we ordered a mixed meal.
Mini Thai Rolls-180/-, Chicken Wings (as starters)220/-, Kung Po Chicken (Kylie Kwang's recipe)220/-, Buddist Bowl (Veg- served with vegetables and tofu served with Rice and Home slaw )220/-, Laksa (both veg and nonveg with chicken and prawns , served with Rice)300/- and 500/- Indonesian Curry with Rice240/-., Lamb on skewers250/-, Gooey Chocolate cake in Chocolate sauce200/- and Goring Pisang- Banana fritters in milky sauce (Desserts)180/-.
We ended up with Capuccino and Mint Lemonade..

Best dish was Lamb in skewer.. We found all the dishes based on Soya Sauce...
Over all it is a nice place to just stop by and eat. But one must not visit Lah if you are looking for authentic cuisine...

Ratings

Visit to Iraqi Restaurant.

All these years in delhi, i never ever thought that there could be a Iraqi restaurant in New Delhi.. One day i heard from my friends that there is one restaurant in lajpat nagar, so went there to check the food.. As i am very much interested in knowing different cuisines, I didnt give a second thought to go there..

The place is in a crowded residential area and when you reach there and checking at the signboard, you feel like you have come to Iraq.  Ambiance was very clean. Boys who serves speaks good english, so language was not a problem there. I found there that most of the items were grilled. so we ordered grilled chicken and grilled fish. , Iraqi rajma curry, stir fry brinjals, humus , iraqi bread and tea.. They served grilled chicken and fish with pulao, garnished with nuts and seviyan . Chicken was juicy and with skin .Fish was Rohu , and it was good too.. Brinjal was stir fried with capsicums and onions and lots of vinegar.. I liked Iraqi Bread which was thin and soft.. they make the bread in special griddle , so it was with design ( check the picture).
Iraqi rajma was just baked beans with tomato gravy. It was not the regular rajma. They add meat in rajma on special occasions. Humus was good with bread.

I liked their tea. Normally they make it with some black lemon , which they soak it overnight and then make the tea. they use it for marinating chicken also ... Since the lemon was not available on that day, we had normal black tea , which they served on very beautiful cup and saucer.
Overall my experience at the restaurant was good. But i must add here that very few ladies go there to eat , so i would advice ladies to go at day time. Although it is safe to go there , but ladies could feel little uncomfortable with the atmosphere there , as in the evening all youngsters gather at the restaurant and they smoke and play their special iraqi game which is like carom ..

Price is affortable . If you really feel like to have authentic Iraqi food in the heart of the city, you must visit this place .
