Cafe By Default

While ganjing with friends, we stumbled upon this amazing joint owned by winner of Masterchef India Season 1, Mrs. Pankaj Bhadouria. The food was really masterchefy. Sitting area was quite big, it had 20-30 odd tables. Mostly empty on a Saturday night, maybe due to the flavor they served was different from awadhi cuisine. Our order Wings on Fire and Dahi ke Sholey followed by Italian Meatball Pizza. Wings on fire was actually hot wings glazed with beautiful sauce, and to cool off, our dahi ke sholey came to the rescue. Wings were accompanied by one lemonade and kabab were served with a mayonnaise look-a- like mousse. Pizza had a little less to praise, they used parmesan cheese which is harder than mozzarella cheese which made it stretch more and had no gluey effect which we Indians enjoy in a pizza. Few of the dishes we order were unavailable at that time but it didn't kill our apatite. In baverages we ordered Classic Mojito, Tiramisu Shake and Spicy Guava Mojito, the latter was not available so instead we ordered Kiwi Mojio. Shake was thick and mojito's were refreshing. Overall I found something different in the awadh city which I really enjoyed. Love to by back and can't wait to try new dishes off their menu.

The cafe by Master chef Pankaj Bhadouria, Cafe By Default, is at a prime location in the city. Easily navigable. The cafe is nicely designed and is quite spacious. Also, the music was good. The cafe has good, serene vibes. Coming to the food~ We had an espresso, cappuccino, Chicken poppers & Mushroom Cheese Ravioli. I liked the cappuccino and also the ravioli. The texture of the tomato gravy was good and also the mushroom filling was tasty. The staff was amicable and aware about their menu unlike many. One thing I would to mention was the washrooms were not functioning well and maybe they had some water issues that day but it is workable I think.

Had an Amazing Supper with my friends at this Cafe, I must say that the Ambience is so damn good, Located in the heart of the city yet so peaceful and calm. The food was absolutely wonderful, from preparation to presentation, very pleasing. From the Generous topping of olive oil and walnuts on my pizza to the Amazingly Saucy Ravioli, Everything Top- Notch !! Service by staff was Awesome and the waitresses who served me were very accommodating, Kudos To Them !! Will be back Deffinitely !!
