Hey everyone! I hope you all doing great and thanks
for your visit.
It seems like food posts are showering on my blog
these days, lol. And today again I’m back with another foodie blog post.
On 18th March, 2015, I attended an event
at Desi Roots and got a chance to taste some delicious dishes there. Desi
Roots, an Indian interpretation of an all day modern Cafe & Bar is an endeavor to offer its patrons an unprecedented culinary voyage, capturing the
grandeur and essence of desi/colloquial customs and the long-lost tradition of
the many regional kitchens across the length and breadth of our nation.
Desi Roots has a good mix of Absolute
Desi/Indian elements married with a host of retro and modern ones that truly
complement each other. Moreover, it is a confluence of food, decor and idioms
that culminates into a unique ‘jugaad’ ideology.
As soon as I entered Desi Roots, the ambiance was so
‘desi’ and totally loved it. Have a look at some the clicks.
Further, I was been welcomed by the owner of Desi Roots,
Mr. Amandeep Singh. In his words, “Desi Roots is one of its kind
modern café and bar with its core thought of creating a format that gives the
COOL tag to an Indian eatery. It came from an idea to create a dining
experience, which is not limited just by the food it serves but becomes a space
where cultures, languages, ideas and passions and various sensibilities of
youth come together. It is a place where both mind and palate have a chance to
rejoice and experience the true Indian spirit, in ways never imagined before.”
Then as per the menu, I started on with the tasting
thing and for the drink, I ordered Rosso Merry Orange. It tasted nice and was
refreshing.
Followed by the welcome drink, I got to taste Amuse
Bouche “Golu Vada”. Just look at it (image below) , how cute it is in this tiny
jar. I totally loved the presentation.
In the starter section I could find only one
vegetarian dish and I had to order that. It was Zimmikand Galawati Pate. I’m
really not a fan of this particular vegetable so kind of didn't liked it but
the pranthas were delicious. The way they were presented was amazing.
Then for the salad, I ordered Warm Samosa
Deconstruct. I was impressed with the name and wanted to see the presentation. ‘Deconstruct’
is very well used and executed, well you can have a look at it.
And finally, the main course, in which I ordered ‘Dal
subzi ghar di diwali Amritsar di’. You liked the name? Lol!! Its big and same
was the taste, delicious.
For the deserts, we the bloggers decided to order
one each mentioned in the menu. So we ordered both, ‘Jamaluddin ki kheer’ and ‘Badam
halva with Shrikhand’. I couldn't get the exact taste of ‘kheer’ as it was
really not a ‘kheer’. But ‘badam halwa’ was really delicious so I didn't gave any
attention to ‘kheer’ which is nearly tasteless.
I clicked one drink & some of the non-vegetarian dishes too, so
you can have a look at them too.
- Desi Champagne
- Chipotle Chicken Tikka
- Kasundhi Fish Tikka
- Sweety 'Saag Chicken' from a friend Sweety Singh
- Ambala Cantt. Ki Mutton Curry
Overall, the experience been well and its pure a
desi food palace where you’ll get delicious food. I’m very much impressed with
their presentation, I mean like your food is coming to you in a truck, just ‘Sunny
Deol style’, and chicken being served inside a press, these were interesting to
look at first sight. Also they gave me a lock and key to write a message, I found this gesture really sweet. And here, I locked my message!
