Great Restaurants in Gurgaon

CASUAL DINING

Gung The Palace

The Korean food mecca – Gung has been winning foodie hearts for years now. With sophisticated interiors and comfortable seating, this authentic eatery serves up a great experience. While you churn out grilled meats and veggies from their tabletop barbeque grill, you can also order their signatures like Galbi Jeonsik, Donkkaseu Omeurice, and Dukbeki Bulgogi. And don’t miss out on the free banchan.

SodaBottleOpenerWala

This is an award-winning Parsi food destination that brings a part of Mumbai to Delhi NCR. The interior is tastefully done with martbaans stuffed full of cookies and toffees, chequered table cloths and sofa covers, old lamp shades and aluminium plates – everything is truly Parsi in every way. One must try the Bombay Rasta Sandwich, Berry Pulao, Bhendi Bazar Sheekh Parantha and Toblerone Mousse here.

Price for two: Rs 1,500

Pintxo

This one is another hole-in-the-wall eatery that serves a whiff of popular Spanish food. The mood is casual and the owner is very hands on, making your experience fun. Their Paella with shrimp, pork belly and chicken is quite a catch as is their non-boozy Sangria.
Price for two: Rs 1,500

CAFÉ CULTURE

Gurgaon has a booming café culture and that’s a trend we are completely onboard with.

Café Delhi Heights

Café Delhi Heights was one of the first of the new breed of cafés that populate Gurgaon now and it also continues to be one of the most consistent. You’ll always find it full thanks to their wholesome multi-cuisine fare as well as cheap offers on beers. The interiors are quirky and scream Delhi with every corner looking different from the other. Do try their Banta Lemonade with the signature Juicy Lucy burger and you can add to the ongoing count of people who’ve taken a big bite out of this meaty staple.

Price for two: Rs 1,200

Di Ghent Café

This European influenced cute little restaurant has won accolades for its coffee, but we also love it for its open ambience and warm service. The menu showcases Italian classics but it’s the specials chalked on the blackboard that you should be ordering from. We keep going back for second helpings of their divine Bacon Wrapped Chicken and sinful Montagu heaped with cheese and mushrooms.

NOTEWORTHY NEWCOMERS

You must have read about these newbies on our blog already, but we just had to include them in this list.

Farzi Café

Zorawar Kalra’s Farzi Café introduces the art of Indian bistronomie to the city, close on the heels of the very successful Masala Library in Mumbai. This curiously designed spot gives a whole new definition to regional Indian fare with a touch of molecular gastronomy and a lot of “farziness”. From food presentation to the actual flavours and textures – make sure you drop in here soon for their Dal Chawal Arancini, Chicken Tikka Masala and Parle G Cheesecake.

Price for two: Rs 1,500

The Big Fat Lulu’s

Known for their authentic NY style thin crust pizzas, Fat Lulu has become a destination for cheesy eaters. But with this outlet, they have made things even bigger and better. This spacious outlet has added Italian fare like risotto and pasta to their menu along with the signature pizzas.

Price for two: Rs 1,500

FINE DINE

Prego – The Westin

Known for its authentic Italian delicacies, this restaurant redefines elegance and style. Their dinner buffet with a special option for kids is very popular as well. The menu is comprehensive enough for everyone to find a favourite here. We recommend the signature pizza Prego, Sole in Vicentina Cinnamon Onion Sauce, Roast Lamb Rack, Chicken Involtini and Risotto with Wild Mushrooms.

Price for two: Rs 4,000

Amaranta – The Oberoi

This award-winning restaurant serves seafood from the nine coastal regions of India and provides a contemporary take on traditional fare. Do try their Panakam and Paniyaram served in minimalistic style along with the Pumpkin Soup and Xacuti Chicken Skewers.

Price for two: Rs 5,000

Wildfire – Crowne Plaza

This lone Brazilian speciality restaurant is also a Times Food award winner and offers a wide variety of Brazilian fare with Portuguese influence along with cuisines from Australia and New Zealand. The different types of meat – lamb leg, chicken and tenderloin – are done in Brazilian style barbecue, which gets two thumbs up from us!
