Fusion is the Word

Bold flavours, quirky plating, and tasteful interiors make Farzi Café in Gurugram (Delhi-NCR) worth your time to experience the city’s dining culture . By SUSHMITA SRIVASTAV

FIRST IMPRESSION­S WHAT WE LOVED

Of the many connotatio­ns attached to its name, the modern Indian bistro chooses to go with the one that translates to ‘creating illusions’, and rightly so. The marriage between traditiona­l Indian flavours and modern culinary techinique­s is impressive. Besides, the brand has managed to retain the quality and innate flavours of its fusion food despite the opening of numerous outlets across the country. In terms of ambience, think textured furniture in dark wood, quirky artworks, chandelier­s, and a stage for live performanc­es.

SIGNATURE DISHES DI RECOMMENDS

Order edamame hummus with kori roti crisps for starters. With fresh guacamole and salsa on side, and sour cream and nachos on top, the Mexican Rice Bowl is an appetising and filling pick for mains. Do try the pumpkin and coconut khao suey, and the Hyderabadi haleem risotto— served piping hot with mutton pickle and Gujarati khakra after being slowcooked for 24 hours! Go Indie, and order balushahi 2.0—the glazed dessert comes with vanilla ice cream filled in, and roasted nuts peppered on.

FINAL TAKE WHY WE WOULD RETURN

Favourite staples served with a modern spin at a chic setting, alongside live music make it a popular choice among diners looking for good food and wine hangout. Also, we’d love to stop by again to try one of their popular concoction­s, chai pani and aam papad bunta.
