Before I begin describing our visit, one thing should be clear - Taste of India is no more about food, service, quality, ambience or experience. It is purely about convenience. With the ...

Review: Yatra, GIP NOIDA

Review: The Noodle Bar, GIP NOIDA
2007-12-25 05:10:00 Stopped here for a quick snack. All of us ordered various types of sizzlers. I ordered chicken sui mai and a noodle bar special sizzler.

Review: The Taste, NOIDA
2007-12-17 16:33:00 There are food delivery joints, crappy food delivery joints and then there is ‘The Taste’. Run by a chap called S.M.

Review: Karims, NOIDA
2007-11-09 07:58:00 I had this urge to indulge in red meat yesterday. So we headed for Karim’s, NOIDA. Can’t say much for the ambiance - bare or stark rather than minimalist.
