Polka Dots - Continental Cuisine at its best

Ideally I don't move out of my comfort zones. I usually stay within the parameters of my perphery when it comes to food. But if, like me, u live and work on a bustling high street that doesn't exactly lack anything when it comes to culinary experiences then the urge to experiment takes over and you find your self bending your steps towards the bright lights of some restaurant or the other.

Polka Dots is a fairly upscale bistro/ cafe that serves pure continental cuisine. The chef has a flair for presentation and the Menu is heavy with Non - Vegetarian fare. But the clincher is the desert selection. And what desert.

Butter crumble apple pie that is just right, served with a scoop of vanilla icecream, Pistachio and blueberry souffle, Tiramisu to die for, Coffee and raisin souffle, Philadelphia cheesecake, Death by chocolate and Chocolate walnut pie that simply melts in your mouth.

The Menu has some traditional Indian fare as well but then it doesn't quite cut the mustard. Nothing beats the Vegetable Lasagne with Garlic bread. Authentic Garlic Bread, freshly made. Heavenly!

A Meal for two sets you back by about Rs.600 - 700. Saturdays and Sundays sees the place packed so don't go there in a hurry. The experience is to be savored.

Location - Between Parihar chowk and D P Road, opposite the turn that leads to the Convergys building.

Bon Apetit!
