Given the scarcity of good pubs and bars in West Delhi, anything average by south Delhi standards would be good here. Same applies to Metal Street as well.

This place is very convenient for us, as it is not very far off from our place, is not very pricey, and has a better look and feel to it as compared to watering holes that we have in West Delhi. Its among the very few places, that I have seen in West Delhi, which is frequented by tipplers and even ladies don't mind coming here.

Unfortunately its a very small place, however the ambiance is great, and the best part is that they have succeeded to maintain the same for several years now. Otherwise I have seen fancy places coming up and later deteriorating out of shape.

They make special arrangement for parties as well, and sometime this works like a thorn in our flesh. On an evening out with friends when you decide to have your fill here, they simply say that they are booked for a party. So if you are coming from a distance make sure you call and confirm this first.

The food is quite nice, I don't remember many things, however I love their spring Salad (Around Rs.50), they serve it in a beaker like container and its perfect companion for a beer, I guess they make it from organic vegetables. The other thing that we like is their Platter. Now since I am a vegetarian I can only discuss that. Veg Tandoori Platter (around Rs.200) is not available anytime you order it. I guess they make it after 7 PM only. Contains Paneer Tikka, Gobhi, Mushrooms, Veg Kebabs, Tandoori Aloo , Achari Paneer etc. The quantity is quite good and filing.

Besides that Masala Padad, French fries and masala peanuts provide a good biting. By the way the provide salted peanuts & cheeselings complimentary with drinks. And do ask for the Green Chutney, I like it a lot.

A strong beer would set you back by only Rs.90 (+ taxes), this would give you an idea about price of other tipple.

If you are planning to drive down from other parts of Delhi then it is not the right place, however definitely recommenced if you are in Karol Bagh, Rajendra Nagar, Patel Nagar OR surrounding area. There are not many places in this part which are better than this one.
