not sure why, but bakeries and gift shops have been my weakness. i spot one and want to enter and then pick everything that looks good.
have done it at many places, rather all places, from shimla to hongkong and goa to singapore.
kuch din pehle i received a bakery hamper from danbro. dekha to tabiyat khush ho gayi. khaaya to tabiyat aur bhi khush ho gayi.
bas tabhi se tha ki jab bhi kailash colony, nehru place side chakkar lagega to i shall go andvisitthem and see the offerings.
par chakkar na lage and pyaar saccha ho to kya hota hai.
hota hai yeh hai ki aap specially plan karte ho ek visit.
bas aisa hi kuch hua this friday.
located on the main road next to kailash colony metro station is this bakery cum cafe with a big elevation.
best part hai ki one does not have to worry about parking as parking to hai hi par then they also have valet facility.
i so desire a place like this on my way back to home from office, jahaan aap raste mein gaari valet ko do, pick a few bites to eat on the way and get some goodies for home.
par na jee, apni side aisa kuch nahi hai.
ab what i thought would be a nice cosy bakery turned out to be a big cafe, very nice interiors and flashy racks have goodies on them that make you pick more than you can pick. ha ha ha. :-)
ab plan was also to meet pawan hora bhai from wish box pr, a legend in pr trade and also the very humble chef anjali mohan jee, who has many accolades to her credit and many of them were won at her long stint at taj kitchens.
ab danbro india is owned by lucknow based mr. brown bakers who now have their physical presence in 12 plus outlets across lucknow, kanpur, delhi, kaushambi, noida, indirapuram, raj nagar etc.
coincidentally, on my lastvisitto lucknow i saw a few outlets and my friend, a resident of lucknow told me that they do excellent stuff. ab dimag mein swaad lucknawi chat ka tha so bakery ki taraf mehnat nahi ki.
par koi na ab try karte hai.
so the menu is vast, and every dish makes you order it, so i gave the tough task to the restaurant manager and bola “jo khilaoge woh sar aakhon par”
and then began the road to heavenly taste.
the qinoa grill salad looked so good ki dekhte hi raho aap and the addition of chips added a perfect texture to the salad.
uske baad aaya falafel and hummus. have to say ki we ordered hummus repeatedly. itnaaa barriya tha woh.
best part is every thing that they serve is created in-house kitchen. i am not falafle fan, par khaakar maza aa gaya :-)
ab aaye stuffed mushrooms and the kurkura texture on the outside and mast flavours on the inside made me have 3 of them.
arre baba, did i tell you ki they are a vegetarian concept? nahi na. chalo ab bta diya. i know many of my friends will be delighted to hear this.
alll this while, i kept sipping my wild berry smoothie. perfect thi jee :-)
and then came the chilly toast, which i shall insist you must order once you are there. bahut hi barriya :-)
ab aaya paneer makhni burrito, corn paneer spinach burger and char grilled lasagna.
burrito ka to lacche waala outer bhi mast tha and andar makhni paneer bhi and kuch bhi karna par inka char grilled lasagna zaroor khaana. priced at rs. 357+ , this is a must have.
ab isse pehle i start drooling again,let me tell you that the breads are super fresh and are handcrafted. i bought some home and bina kuch butter shutter lagaye aise hi kha gaya :-)
the cheesecakes (i tried blue berry) have bahut hi barriya taste and texture. i was told that it’s gluten free.
and haan baklawa se mooh meetha karke zaroor aana.
ek aur baat bta du?
they open at 8 so breakfast bhi sorted hai in all senses.
jaldi hokar aana and btana kaisa laga.
