Take off Scarlet, Punjabi Bagh
Ayushi Mathur
Punjabi bagh is becoming the new hub for exciting new cafes, restaurants and lounges. One extraordinary addition to the glamour of Punjabi bagh is a lounge called Take off Scarlet. Located on the Club Road, TOS is the ultimate destination for all the party lovers with its mouth-watering food, a huge dance floor and non-stop dance beats. Decorated with gold and bronze statues, TOS has interiors that will take you to the ancient Greek times.
Take off Scarlet has a rich multi cuisine menu and the first appetizer that I tried was the Murg Hazari Tikka. Juicy and tender chicken pieces marinated in yogurt with an undertone of Garam masala, the Murg Hazari Tikkas were absolutely scrumptious. Apart from Indian cuisine, TOS has a variety in Chinese, European and American appetizers. Among the Chinese, I tried the Chicken 65 which tasted similar to spicy preparations of Chicken served at other restaurants. Italian Julienne Salad was made with fresh crunchy vegetables with boiled spaghetti and whole olives. European dishes included Chicken Schnitzel, a fried chicken dish cooked in beaten eggs.
The vegetarian dishes were more innovative and flavourful. The appetizer that stood out was Delhi ke kebabs which were disks of dry kebabs filled with tangy yogurt. Delhi ke kebab is something I really enjoyed, as it tasted like sour cream and yogurt filled in crispy coating. Another distinguishing starter that was served was the Cheese Cigar rolls. Stuffed with a generous amount of cheese and onions served with hot mayo dip, the rolls definitely stood out. Bombay Vada Pav and Crispy lotus stem in honey chilly were also quite delicious.
Along with food, TOS has a variety of inventive drinks and Hookah flavours to offer. The mocktails served included Pink Panther, a watermelon and pomegranate based cooler, Electric Lemonade that was made with blue lagoon, lemonade and mint and was served as a mystical blue drink. Tall hookahs with pipes that glow with LEDs add to the ambience and the experience. TOS has both outdoor and indoor seating with a perfectly sized dance floor for a wholesome party experience.
