New Italian Cafe for Chocolate Lovers in Delhi

Featured

Colocal “The Cacao Artisans” Café is a dining heaven for all Chocolate lovers. They source Cacao from Tamil Nadu and Kerala. The café is spread across a huge space and is located within the Dhan Mill Compound in Chattarpur.

While there are no second thoughts to their awe-striking décor, Colocal is one of the best Insta-Worthy Cafes in Delhi I have been to. It has a fabulous ambiance and food is presented beautifully.

I travelled all the way just to experience their sumptuous Hot Chocolate.

Colocal Campfire Chocolate – This usually comes 54% Dark Chocolate with a Marshmallow but being a hardcore Dark Chocolate lover I got it customized to 72% Dark Chocolate and the staff was happy to serve that way. It was hot and absolutely delicious and made my day! MUST MUST TRY!!

Garden Salad with Burrata Cheese – A fresh mix of lettuce along with Burrata Cheese and seasoned veggies dressed with beetroot lemon sauce.

BBQ Chicken Wings – These Chicken wings were fried and comes along with citrus salad.

Pulled Mutton Burger – Soft buns stuffed with shredded lamb, cucumber, cheese slice, mint yogurt, rocket lettuce and lamb jus. So delectable also comes with zig zag peri peri fries on the side with chipotle sauce.

Pan Seared Fish – Succulent Basa Fillet topped with caper butter sauce. It is served with mash potato and grilled vegetables. Heavy on the tummy, easily serves two people.

Tortino di Porri – Cheese and leeks quiche topped with creamy mild Gorgonzola sauce. This is the best quiche I have ever had. MUST TRY!!

Best Cafe in Sultanpur, Delhi

Café We is a plush café in South Delhi. As soon as you enter the place, the interior takes your heart away. Also the servers are polite and knowledgeable.

The menu is very impressive. Love the fact they have a) The Fruity Blast which had Apple, Kiwi, Pineapple, Orange and Chia Seeds and b) The Veggie Delight containing Carrot, Celery, Lettuce, Broccoli, Cabbage and Pumpkin Seeds. The two drinks were made from fresh fruits and vegetables.

Soup of the Day – Tried their Tomato and Beet Consommé. This also had veggies and was a very healthy soup. (Video uploaded on Instagram)

Cobb Salad – Salad had a mix of Veggies, Bacon, Chicken and Cheese with Honey Mustard dressing. This was filling yet yum! And nothing can go wrong when it has Bacon in it 😉

Classic Chicken Chorizo & Cheese Bruschetta – I have had bruschetta many times in India and UK. But this one was unusual and the best one I had till date. Bruschetta was soft and chorizo was delectable. It was all bursting with flavours!! An absolute MUST TRY!!

Grilled Sole Fish – This was a huge European meal with Potato Wedges, Grilled Veggies, Onion Pilaf, Lettuce Salad Mix and Sole Fish grilled to perfection. Still craving for the onion pilaf!

Vanilla Crème Pie – Best way to end a meal is to order desserts and this one was too yum :p Vanilla and Mascarpone Cheese Pie topped with mixed Berry Compote. This dessert was beautifully presented with caramelized web ring.

Moti Mahal Delux

Moti Mahal is one of the most popular outlets for North Indian and Mughlai cuisine. Now they have started their fine dine restaurants as well and their menu includes Chinese and continental food as well. I visited the South Extension outlet for brunch and the ambiance is spectacular. Service is fast and fabulous.

Masala Lemonade – You will really need this if you want to consume all the delicious kebabs and curries here. Very refreshing!

Palak Patta Chaat – You need to ask them for their Continental menu. This one is absolutely delicious and refreshing. All chaat chutneys/sauces laid one a bed of crispy spinach topped with pomegranate. MUST TRY!!

Afghani Chicken – Though I took only half plate but it had 4 huge pieces of Chicken, well marinated in cream and this came on a sizzler. Chicken was succulent and simply amazing. Best Afghani Chicken I have ever had. MUST TRY!!

Fish Tikka – There were big chunks of fish cooked in tandoor. Fish tasted fresh and yum.

Boneless Butter Chicken – I have not experienced any restaurant serving “Boneless” Butter Chicken. Though I am not a fan of butter chicken but this one was different and was not on the sweeter side.

Punjabi Gosht Masala – Mutton was spiced well and cooked to perfection until juicy and tender. This went well with their huge Naan. I do not remember the name but ask for their big naans which are crispier and are topped with dry fruits.

Gajar Halwa – Just a perfect dish to end this lovely meal.
