It was Saturday afternoon, after a lovely Breakfast
event with Foodmaniacs (my FB Group) at Ramada Central.....Received an invite from our
very own Foodie Surdie ....Apne pyaare
Avi Jee, arre yaar ZAGA—Courtyard Dining
waale.......Avininder Singh jee (hahaaa)….. For the launch party of “ Chapter
25 “ in the evening the same day, 12 th of July ……Chapter 25 is a lounge
pub…..with a difference…..
We reached MGF Metropolitan Mall, Saket, New Delhi around
9.20 p.m. and headed straight to Chapter 25 which is located on the 2nd
floor just next to ZAGA……..Thanks to Avi jee…. We were welcomed by Mr. Rohan
Chaliha and then introduced to a TEAM Member at “Chapter 25” Mr. Aseem
Chalana…..It was great meeting him…and knowing his plans and aspirations for
the place……His passion for cooking and experimenting (as told by him) has got him into this business ……He plans to
introduce one innovative recipe from each state of India in to his menu very
soon….The recipes which they have fused
with other cuisines to get the best outcome…….Details will follow when they are
introduced and we get a chance to savour
them…..

Coming to the interiors and ambiance of this place…….Nicely
done...in Wood and Glass…with Teak finish and woody and neat looks……takes us
back to the basics…… a gramophone decal on one wall…and a quote by John Keats
on a glass partition…very nostalgic……Not a very big place but still nice…..The
open area… …I mean to say the Terrace part is also being renovated and designed
to incorporate into the lounge…..Wow I can imagine how beautiful it will be in
the open…under the star lit sky (obviously in good weather)………Things will take some
time to get streamlined and get running…like air-conditioning etc….

Wow….is the word when we talk about the Music and sound equipment
used in the pub……The sound was terrific and music too……The Crowd went crazy and
everyone was dancing and enjoying……….

The Bar is well stocked with alcohol……Vodkas, Whiskies,
Beers and Rums ……..with professional hands at work making lovely cocktails and
concoctions………
We were offered Mojito…which was well made……and the food
which was being offered was good too…….

We were served Fish cakes or kebabs which were really
awesome……Patlican kebabs (lamb mince kebabs in Turkish style)….the 4 cheese
pizza which was good ……..Nachos with sour cream and salsa (nachos were too good
but salsa needs a dressing up) Mezze Platter.. …Which had pita bread, hummus,
babagannouj (lebanese dips), potato kibbeh (potato mash with burghul kebabs) and some more things…. Hummus was awesome……..other
things need a strong makeover……

Nothing extraordinary about the taste of food…..as it was just a launch day menu (and we can
v.well understand the situation..obvious reasons) with quick presentations and
fast service……. Many things are going to get added and improvised in the coming
days as promised by our dear friend Aseem ……….All in all I can say the place is
going to Rock with its music, food and a laid back style of lounging………

We wish All the Very Best for their future ……. 3 Cheers for “Chapter
25 “………..
