It’s not very often that me and hubs venture out on a weeknight to Delhi but the promise of a live
band with some fantabulous food proved impossible to resist. Driving in that
chaotic traffic was definitely an uphill task- that too all the way to Rajouri Garden- but it was completely
worth it. Ampm Cafe, is one of those
hangouts that pioneered the change in the face of Rajouri Garden with it’s swish appeal . The hot weather did not
deter people from occupying the alfresco seating and mist fans (with cold beer)
did help the cause. We settled ourselves on one of the huge sofas indoors. Outdoor
as well as indoor had various seating options including plush sofas, bar
stools, with a variety of hookah floating and a live band that belted out some
amazing classics. For the sports addicts there was also a large screen
displaying the 20-20 match which was on that day.
I really wasn’t expecting much variety in terms on food but
the menu is extensive. I asked for the Crispy
Shitake mushrooms and bamboo shoots and they tasted heavenly. It was tangy,
crispy and the shitake lent it an earthy flavour. Next arrived the Greek
delicacy Spanokopita, which are
basically stuffed filo pastry puff and this one was stuffed with spinach and
cheese, which is an irresistible combination for me. The Crunchy corn is a good low
calorie nibblet to accompany the drinks. The burgers seemed to be drawing a lot of attention and we decided to go for
it too. The tropical veggie burger
is big and delicious. This is filled with so many ingredients and will take
care of the necessary carbohydrate intake on a drinks night.AM PM veggie pizza had the perfect thin
crisp crust and was topped with an array of veggies like mushroom , broccoli
and my favourite sun dried tomatoes!
How can any meal end without dessert ?The Blue berry baked yoghurt was fruity,
light and very refreshing , a great dessert for summers. My weakness for all
things sweet made me dig into the Chocolate
marquis despite not being a fan of chocolate. This rich decadent dessert
however was to die for !
My only grouse with AMPM cafe is the distance , Please come
closer to the Millennium city.
