Sbarro Restaurants, India

IMG_20150714_084046~2

Delhi food circuit is long deprived of an authentic Italian food joint. Breaking the clutter of QSR’s failing to deliver us with sumptuous Pizzas, is Sbarro Restaurants in the city. The flavours and aroma of the authentic New York Style pizzas is delivered beautifully by Sbarro. They are currently operational with two branches in Delhi- NCR.

My tryst with Sbarro began at their very interesting campaign previously done by the brand. They introduced the concept of Man V/S Pizza and used Social Media brilliantly to collaborate with bloggers and test their ability to eat giant pizza slices in a stipulated time limit! Read more about Man V/S Pizza here.

Hand tossed and fresh dough, with toppings of fresh ingredients makes Sbarro my favorite for a quick meal. Also, I love how they have customized few flavours to cater to the Indian taste buds. It is indeed commendable to bring Indian flavours and aroma while keeping  the authenticity of their signature style of pizzas intact.

Located at two most convenient locations of the city, Connaught Place and Huda City Centre, Gurgaon Sbarro enjoys a huge crowd from both working professionals and youth. Easy to reach both by metro and car, Sbarro enjoys good walk-ins of their NY style pizzas.

Apart from ease of location and lively ambience, Sbarro also delights us with three variants of pizza crust – New YorkPan Crust and Stuffed Crust.

Corporate chef Rahul Gladwin Massey heads the Sbarro outlet in NCR, and strives to stick to the original international menu with only a few minor additions of pizzas for Indian Palate. Rahul is an eminent name in the hospitality sector and holds an expertise in the Indian culinary industry.

Veggies Delight Pan Pizza: This combination is a treat for vegetarians. It is indeed a rarity for a dedicated chicken lover like me to appreciate a vegetarian pizza that much. As much as I was excited to see a Broccoli on my giant pizza slice, the flavour alleviated the joy to next level!

New York Style White Cheese Pizza

New York Style White Cheese Pizza: Apart from Mozzarella, Sbarro also offers a variant with my favorite Ricotta cheese. A pizza slice with oodles of Cheese, yet so light and oil free? Yes, that shall take time to sink in. Feast on this slice and you won’t be disappointed to miss out on those crazy spicy toppings!

Stuffed Chicken Makhni Pizza

Stuffed Chicken Makhni Pizza:  Kudos to Sbarro for having kept their authenticity intact despite of customizing to spicy North Indian flavours in this one. This pizza slice has succulent, and perfectly marinated chicken pieces stuffed between the two layers of dough. The tangy sauce, and the generous quantity of stuffing simply makes this one my favorite!

Tomato Basilico Pasta

Tomato Basilico Pasta

Tomato Basilico Pasta: The tangy Red Sauce Pasta tastes delicious with the toppings of shredded Cheese, Corn and Olives. It is a little less on the spice quotient and lighter as compared to pizza slice. Also, watching it being made at the live pasta station alleviates the taste of the dish to another level!

NY Pepperoni

NY Pepperoni

NY Pepperoni: Sbarro holds an astounding record of having a generous quantity of 9 pieces of juicy, perfectly cooked, and aromatic bacon on one slice! The sight is itself a visual treat for the eyes and nothing less than a foodgasm. One slice is enough to take away your appetite! Highly recommend you to try this and perhaps thank me later.

To end your meal on a sweet note, Sbarro also offers two delectable varieties of desserts.

New York Cheesecake

New York Cheesecake

New York Cheesecake: Gooey, fresh and definitely a must try for people with a sweet tooth. The crispy biscuit base is the highlight. It is a fresh change from the usual desserts offered at restaurants.

Fudge Nut Brownie

Fudge Nut Brownie

Fudge Nut Brownie: Because meals that end with a scoop of chocolate are often the best ones! Fudge Nut Brownie topped with chocolate sauce sounds like an intelligent addition to the menu keeping it light and delicious.

Fork You Too, Gurgaon

It is tough for a restaurant to follow the legacy of a very successful and established predecessor. Fork You Too, started 6 months ago with a second innings in the Gurgaon Sector 29 Market goes beyond its signature style of burgers and leaves you smitten with an effortless charm!

The ambience is similar to an american style restrobar, with good music and raw aesthetics. Love the lightning and how the wonderfully attentive staff welcomes you at the entrance.

Fork You Too

Fork You Too

The place is gigantic, very spacious and can easily cater an evening of 200+ pax.  For privacy and closure, you can choose one of the 4 booths each on the right with a seating capacity of over 12 people. Comfortable chairs and sofas in the centre and a very beautifully lit bar section at the far end makes for a decent ambiance.

The food menu is vast, offers ample variety and definitely changed my assumption of Fork You Too loved only for its signature burgers. Surprisingly, there is Italian, Mexican and recently introduced Indian cuisine as well. You will definitely be spoilt for choice at your visit here and drop by again to satiate your taste buds with the palatable dishes!

COCKTAILS

Not a big fan of Greek Feta Cheese and neither a salad person, yet bowled over by the balance of flavours and the exemplary plating, especially how beautifully cucumber is served. Definitely a very healthy and light appetizer to begin your meal!

Tenderloin Cheese Burger

With so many burger outlets mushrooming in the city with almost similar taste, I firmly believe that the presentation and the authentic cooking style makes Fork You Too stand out from the rest. The plating is impressive, with veggies and fries on the side making it a wholesome meal for one.

Tostadas

Tostadas

Cooked with kidney beans and garnished with fresh mushroom topping, Tostadas at Fork You Too are one of the best ones you will ever try. Served on a flat, crispy tortilla with gooey cheese, they are light and healthy. If all nutritious things were this delicious, life would have been a lot better 🙂

This delicious Mexican delight is one of the top highlights of Fork You Too!

Onion Rings

Onion Rings

Onion rings lose their charm if they even a pinch of extra oil in them. A basic appetizer served so beautifully with a side of fresh vegetables, the effort by the chefs here is commendable. The rings were crispy and not moist, and taste best when enjoyed immediately before they become soggy.

Chicken Mozzarella Fingers

Among the host of restaurants specializing in foreign cuisine, pubs, bakeries and cafes in the stretch of Sector 29 market, Fork You Too stands out by offering a plethora of cuisines in their food menu, and most definitely the interiors and hospitable staff.

Located in the heart of the corporate and commercial centre of Gurgaon, Sector-29 market enjoys eclectic crowd. Also, free parking and smooth traffic flow in the vicinity keeps you at ease.
