To me, the smell of fresh-made coffee is one of the greatest inventions.
—Hugh Jackman
Yesterday at six in the evening, I was in Delhi. I had to be there because it was Rooney’s birthday. I picked her up from her office (my former office). She had already made a plan for this outing, so we first went to her flat, where she spent about half an hour. You know girls and their ways when getting ready for an outing. When I asked where we were going, her answer was, "Today, I have chosen a place where you can enjoy your coffee along with the delicious cuisine of my choice."
"So no coffee right now?" I asked her jokingly.
She answered with a mysterious smile, "Coffee and many other things you love to eat and drink"
And I had a colorful expectation running through my mind. I knew it all was going to be grand tonight!
I had an idea of what she had in her mind though, but with the arrival of summer in this area, which becomes boiling hot, going with a friend like Rooney is fun, no matter how hot the weather is. If you want to enjoy sumptuous cuisine while sitting under the open sky, then we were at the right place where you can enjoy the atmosphere and delicious food. Yep, as I guessed, it was her favorite restaurant in South Delhi. She is a deputy manager at a multinational bank, so she could certainly afford it.
Look how big they talk about themselves
As soon as you walk in, you’ll know you’re in the right place for an evening with your love. The lights and glass walls give a nice vibe. Oh yes, this is a wonderful restaurant that has a breathtaking glass ceiling and walls where you can look at the artificial rain and the sky without getting wet. Let me mention that I used to come here for a beer or coffee and delicious dishes with my friends even before I knew Rooney.
The name of this place 'Qla' sounds a little different, but the rest of the things...we love them all. We enjoyed a good meal under a glass ceiling, walls, and a rainy looking sky. Whenever I visit this place I love the way their food, the non-vegan prawns and the Mexican tacos filled with various mixtures, such as seasoned mince, chicken, beans, etc. You can enjoy delicious Vietnamese, Thai, Italian, and European dishes such as Chicken Thai Chili Basil Crapo, Spicy Smoked Chicken, jalapeno pizza, and smashed avocado. But we ate only vegetarian food.
But I agree, they are not killing us with their price
You get various mouth watering varieties on the menu here, try their buttery sauce pasta, Cheese Blast Nachos, Barbecue Pizza, and, of course, my favorite coffees. It has a pub next door, but I was not in the mood for anything like that. I suggest trying their popular red meat, Tibetan Thukpa, Dragon Prawns, and Vietnamese Curry.
It has great food, a charming ambiance, delicious drinks, and a completely safe and clean area. What better time to create a monsoon scene, even if it is artificial than at the start of summer, which is unusually hot this year? If you want to enjoy the best of Italian cuisine, then this place is perfect. The colorful umbrellas with love in the décor theme make the look of the place splendid. You can enjoy your meals while admiring the view outside through the large glass windows.
Now that the lockdown is almost over, people have started returning to visit their favorite theme based cafes with their families and friends. So we enjoyed watching cheerful faces and a capacity crowd for the first time in a long time. And when I say crowd, I hope you understand what I mean. Yep, if you have no prior reservation, you will end up waiting outside or finding another place. I hope these happy days will not be disturbed by yet another variant of... shhhhh, I don’t even want to write that dreadful name.
So the two of us enjoyed everything about her birthday bash, but the most exciting part for the coffee drinker in me was yet to finish until I had a local coffee gem. Nothing is more exciting for a coffee enthusiast than trying out the coffee they serve here. I have even had a coffee chat on a couple of my previous visits to this restaurant with the baristas in the past. So finally I had my cup of coffee and she had her favorite mango cream dessert before leaving the restaurant.
I came back early this morning and went immediately back to my writing seat.
