The Ancient Barbeque food review!

Gurgaon is a small city. There are only few food havens which you can remember in a jiffy.

There is cyber hub, sector 29, golf course road and galleria market. If anyone was to open a restaurant in gurgaon then these would be the safest bets. But not for this chain, after testing waters in Noida in sector 63 and still doing really well with its unique concept limited to few competitors in the market. TAB has created a brand with its second outlet in sector 50, gurgaon. Yes, Sohna road is the next big destination in gurgaon and TAB was smart to spot that.



The place is on the third floor of Goodearth city center. It is a fine dine restaurant which is contemporary and it is based on the concept of live grill and buffet. The place also has an open seating on the terrace and can easily accomodate 150-200 people in total. After having been to Barbeque nation and Pirates of Grill, I had great expectations from this new entrant. I Believe the place is managed by couple of chef’s who have a great amount of experience in the food industry and hence this was an evening I was really looking forward to.

The first thing that strikes is the huge airy bright interiors. Filled up with energy, it has stylish and comfortable furniture with huge projector screen to showcase sports events.

The moment we stepped into the restaurant,we were warmly greeted by the staff and they ensured that we were comfortably seated. The service is prompt and the table top tandoor was laid with supply of starters in vegetarian and non vegetarian. We were spoilt for choice so we asked to taste everything. The salad counter along with soups had excellent variety of options and were a great start.

The buffet had an option for complimentary drink so we ordered the Virgin Mojito and Masala Cola.They have mouth-watering starters in their menu like Kolhapuri Tiranga Murg Tikka, Konkani Jhinga Fry, Jalandhari Seekh Kebab and Punjabi Tangri, Galouti Kebab. They also had variety of dips and flavors to add to the taste. The starters stuffed us so much that we took time out before heading for the main course. The Paneer Multani and Sufiana aLoo were great, the kashmiri pulao and dal makhani was excellent.The main course was something that could not be missed. We hear they change the menu every other day and so there is always something new on offer. I would suggest that you visit here without having any lunch in order to enjoy the whole palate.

To complete your dining experience they have a great desert menu which comprises of moong dal halwas,cheese cakes to different types of kheer and shahi tukda.

All in all, you exit completely satisfied and it’s a great place to visit with your family and friends or even celebrate a special occasion with it’s pocket friendly pricing and special packages.

A must visit!

Fatburger Cyber hub review

Fat burger, the name says it all. I was curious to find out if this was the fattest burger i was going to have in india . I had read on timescity about this new joint in cyberhub. After doing some googling, i figured that they are a popular chain based in California, USA.

My foodie side made me rush to the place right away with a friend.I was greeted by courteous staff that took us to our table. I browsed through the menu and found a wide
variety of burgers, veg and also non veg from lamb to chicken to beef and lot of siders and choice of sauces.
A compact list of apetisers from chili fries to spicy chicken wings, and loads of pasta and pizzas galore.
I loved the poppers and the chilli, but what made us drool were their World Famous Wings – soft chicken dipped in your choice of sauce, including our favourite chipotle.
In case you are watching your calories, there are wraps and salads on offer as well.

Drinks menu was limited as they have recently opened and awaiting liquor license.
The interiors were well done and gave an american feel to the place. The open kitchen was neat and full of staff ready to make your fresh fat burger and serve it to you in a flash.
I started with chilli cheese fries and a portion of chicken wings.I was delighted to see that the chicken wings i had, was something close to what I had tasted during my college time in the US, and that was a welcome thing.


Then we ordered our choice of burger and i tried the grilled chicken burger which was a welcome change from the other chains that dont offer ample stuffing inside it. Burgers are served with fries and coleslaw salad on the side.
This one was nice and juicy in taste and had bacon, mayo,lettuce, tomato, and extra choice of fillings like eggs,double cheese and all.
The burger isn’t huge as i had imagined so it is a good idea if u add a patty to the burger. Pricing is also very reasonable compared to competition.
After Enjoying the food and stuffing ourselves , we decided that we would also try a brownie with ice cream as it looked really tempting and since it was a new restaurant, it was apt to have something sweet in the end.
So the desert was icing on the cake and i recommend to all.If you must visit Fatburger, go for their perfectly cooked tenderloin burgers and milkshakes.
Overall, a welcome new addition.
