adda by soi 7, is located in the namaste complex on the outskirts of chandigarh on delhi chandigarh highway. i agree that it's too far, however if you are in the mood for a long drive and want to move out somewhere from the hustle bustle of city life and want to experience something new unlike the clubs of sector-26 clubs, then it would be my suggestion that you should rush to this place.
we visited this place in the evening yet i must agree that i enjoyed their ambience. they have curated this whole place very intelligently and have used every inch of space. when you enter this place you will see multiple quotes hanging on the walls and a big jumbo photo chair for all those photo lovers. not only this it's an heaven for those who love to get themselves clicked trust me you will get lots and lots of spots their to be clicked with.
their is a projector at the staircase wall, projecting dancing images. this was something new for me to see.
they have divided the entire place into two outdoors and an indoor section. both indoor and outdoor place has a striking apperance with varying sitting options like sofa, high chairs, quirky stools and leathered chairs. they have two bar counters one inside and one outside. they have created a deck section in an outdoor section from where you can sit and enjoy a peaceful sight out of the highway traffic and crowd. on the other hand in another outdoor section you can sit and enjoy lush green lawn and plants planted in the crates all over. inner section was brightly lit by using retro tungsten bulbs. most important point that i want to mention here is they have not played music very loud unlike other clubs in chandigarh so you can sit and chat easily. in short i was aghast by their ambience. top notch!!
let's talk about their food now. we ordered veg platter and veg salt and pepper.
platter was ok,could have been better in taste. everything was properly cooked and roasted however the flavour was missing i would say. out of panner tikka, kunbh nawabi, malai brocolli and roasted pineapple in platter, i only liked roasted pineapple.
veg salt and pepper was ok in taste(although when it arrived i didn't expected that because it was looking very pale).vegetables were crisp and cooked perfectly but again on the flavour part something was a miss.
they were having four flavors of brewed beer. though all four of then were good, but i liked two of them more. the one that we ordered was blueberry flavor.
staff needs to improve their serving speed as it was too slow.
in the end i would definitely recommend this place. don't worry about the distance. i can bet you will not regret being there.
