First online feature.......... ZAGA - COURTYARD DINING @MGF METROPOLITAN SAKET NEW DELHI. ...
Standee in the Mall
Lovely people ....just wanted to tell u all about our visit to an
upcoming place in Delhi at Saket , MGF Metropolitan.......
ZAGA.......... It was the soft launch of the place as it's very soon
launching its operations in a week or so.....with a blast...... I was
very humbly invited by the man himself the "Foodie Surdie" Mr. Avininder
Singh Jee...... for the party , which was a very private affair at the
moment..... WOW is the word , i must say.....The place is an open
terrace setting under the star lit sky with lovely furniture and
beautiful ambient lights adding much flavor to the whole
atmosphere.......very romantic i must say........
Mr. Singh has
brought the concept of Latin American Cuisine in a very innovative
manner, which is one of its kind and for the first time in the country.
This concept covers countries like Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Cuba, Chile
and Mexico……. The best from Latin America……. Lets come to food……
We were served with the most authentic dishes panning these nations…..by
the most hospitable lady I have met in my entire life Shikkha ....Thanks for her courtesy and lovely attitude. ....Cheers
We started with a lovely refreshing Cold Cucumber Soup and a Chicken
Chowder Soup and Cuban Corn Chowder ---( The final menu was not ready so
I may mention the dish names a little here and there)… I must say both these soups were very unique in taste and preparation and were v.good too.
Soups
Solterito Salad
Casa Salad
We were served salads after that……Oh my my…..The SALADS ..were too good
….. Solterito as well Casa…..both were awesome….full of veggies and
some fruits with Chicken bits in the non veg version…..
Then came
the starters ……we had Empanadas (is a stuffed bread or pastry baked or
fried)…. Stuffed with Lamb Mince…….to put it simply I must say they are
Meat filled Gujiyas ( Gujiyas which we have around HOLI ) …. Very much
known to us…..and easy to adapt….V.nicely made and tasted good. Though
can be a little more crispy and a little more stuffed……. A must Try………
Then the Mains were served….. Argentine Lentil Soup which was a Dal
type dish with a sweet and sour angle to it…..Fish Stew ..which had the
the red snapper in a thick gravy ..had a lovely pungency of sea food in
it…..and a Chicken dish Pechunga en Mole …. Chicken Breast grilled
covered in Chocolate sauce … with sides of Peruvian Cilantro Rice and
Mexican White Rice and Tortillas…….
Orangito...
Empanadas
Very unique dishes …..as we had not tasted ever ……. Must try for everyone…….
Last but not the least the lovely deserts we had…. Suspiro Limeno and
Mousse de Chocolatey Kahlua…… Suspiro Limeno was a lovely blend of
Toffee base covered wth fresh cream and dusting of cocoa….. and the
Chocolatey Kahlua was a Chocolate Mousse with the undertones of Kahlua……
Very Very Good…..
We tried many cocktails ….like Spicy Mango Favela
…Mango concoction with a tinge of salt and chilli and Orangito ( Orange
Mojito)……..and also a Beer Cocktail which was customized by our friend
Nikhil of Hmmm reviews... for us…..It was very good too……
Mango Favela
All in all it’s a very unique
and novel experience for all of us….. The dishes are new…the
preparations are different and the ingredients are unique so the overall
feel is new too……
I suggest everyone to definitely try it once coz
its not a regular fare of Chinese , Italian or Indian which we usually
have each and everyday……
