Too Many Bars, Not Enough Meals: 5 Basant Lok Market Spots That Get It Right
If you’re a Delhiite, then you’ve had your fair share of lolling around in the beloved ‘Priya’ market located in Vasant Vihar. Once a haunt for movie dates and RPM dancing nights, followed by a late-night shawarma, the revamp this spot has received is remarkable. While the Basant Lok market is currently bustling with a plethora of new concept bars, the food scene over here can be a little confusing.
Not all bars serve great food, and not all restaurants are serving great drinks. If you also end up going to the same places every time, you’re in the area, then allow us to curate a list of the best places that serve more than just good food!
Leos PizzeriaYou know what they say, you can seldom go wrong with classics. If you’re a Napolitana pizza lover, then just end up here. It is a pizza heaven. What I personally love about their menu is that it is compact and hence you don’t have to fret over thinking what to get. They do not do pastas, so go only if you take your pizzas very seriously.
That’s where Basant Lok still quietly delivers. Beneath the noise, and often right next door to it, are restaurants that remind you why eating out was never meant to be rushed or drowned out. Spots where the food holds your attention longer than the drinks menu.
MestizoRight in the heart of the PVR Priya complex is this gorgeous Latin American restaurant which celebrate the cuisine and the culture in great fervour. From the stunning decor to a crazy good cocktail menu, everything is wholesome at this place. So, the next time your gang and you cannot decide between a picante, a plate of churros or just scrumptious sushi, you can easily end your search here.
This is not your regular place for a good plate of pasta but a very cool, beautifully done modern European restaurant and a cigar bar. If prompt service and minimal waiting time is something you look for, then the meals paired with wonderful drinks at Miss Pinto will not disappoint.
ChardIf a good juicy burger with some crispy chicken and a chilled mug of beer is your idea of an ideal weekend meal, then Chard will not disappoint you at all. Easily one of the best burger joints in the city. The waiting time could be long, but please have patience, for it shall be rewarded well.
What is a well curated food list with no pan Asian recommendation right? Gonzo could be your haunt if you’re in the mood for a crazily made stone pot meal that hits the spot perfectly. Their dimsums and sushi are also a big highlight of their extensive menu.
