Anoothi Vishal checks out three new suburban restaurants in two days
I don’t think much of Gurgaon restaurants that tend to be in soulless malls or in glass and steel office complexes hoping to tap into an essentially corporate clientele. If you drive by night, past its glittering towers, zipping on the expressway (except on either sides of the toll bridge where you’ll be crawling, if you are lucky), this satellite town will remind you of Shanghai or Dubai’s Sheikh Zayed Road.
According to an old tale, coffee first reached India with Baba Budan, a pilgrim on a visit to Mecca, who stole seven coffee seeds and took them back hidden in his clothes. It is a charming tale but in all probability entirely untrue. Though coffee does indeed have Arabic origins, it was the Dutch who started growing it in the Malabar in the 16th century, introducing us to the beverage.
