Depot 29, Sajdarjung Enclave

Depot 29 is my latest discovery of a hidden gem in the lanes of Sajdarjung Enclave. An interesting bar section, quirky interiors, authentic Mexican flavours, scenic view of the Safdarjung greens from the gorgeous terrace already make it a must on a food connoisseur’s check-list!

The soothing lightning and the pastel shades of the café make it a perfect place to enjoy a cozy evening here in a  more favourable weather.

The menu has a mix of both American and Tex-Mex, and doesn’t disappoint with ample options in each category.

– I began my meal with Guacamole bar, that is served in quirky chai glasses along with fresh homemade Tortilla Chips. It consists of avocado paste with the addition of a variety of flavours. A variety lover like me, ended up ordering all the variants. Also, you get an authentic salsa dip complimentary with Tortilla Chips which is an added delight!

I was particularly smitten by the exemplary plating of the dish, and the Mango and Basil variety, which has the perfect mix of tanginess and freshness, perfect for this summer season!

– Watermelon Salad with spiced Feta, marinated Ginger and garnished Greens – The salad was fresh, had interesting flavours; however the tanginess was a tad overboard and made it bit too tough to have more than 3 bites.

– For someone like me, Sangria on a Sunday never goes wrong. It worked as a delicious summer wine punch with my meal!

–Quesadilla Bar stuffed with Mushroom and sautéed in Piri-Piri sauce- This irresistible Mexican appetizer is a delight for vegetarians. The mushroom was succulent, sautéed to perfection, and the sour cream served alongside elevated the dish’s quality to maximum. I am salivating while I write about this scrumptious dish! MUST TRY!

– Lamb Burger with Habanero Sauce, Potato Salad and Pickled Onion– Even before I tasted this dish, the beautiful plating heightened my expectations. The sauce was fiery hot, and was balanced with the essence of the Potato Salad. The Lamb patty was cooked to perfection and perfectly balanced in flavours.

– Waffles: And saving the best for the last, my meal ended with the delectable waffles!

The waffles were very crispy, evenly baked and enough to make a dessert lover go weak in the knees! Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, these delicious waffles are pleasing at all hours of the day.

Don’t forget to satiate your sweet tooth with the Chocolate Gianduja with Caramelized Nuts and chocolate syrup! The heavenly combination of chocolate, hazelnuts, and caramel is something which will make you a regular at Depot 29!
