Going Bad

Amazing place with great ambience, great service and hospitality and finger licking food. I had organized a sunday lunch for friends and it was a memorable experience in all aspects. Highly recommended for families where kids also get to play as there is enough space and not cluttered like pubs/restaurants. Special thanks to Sajiv Jain the owner of Going Bad to ensure guests and patrons are taken care of well. You guys are going super good with the name of Going Bad!

Visited this new bistro bar on golf course road and it was truly an amazing experience. The food and flavours were executed perfectly. Their concept of sustainability could be reflected from the cocktails to every dish we had. In house sugar syrups, no use of unhealthy ingredients. I was surprised, you must visit and experience it yourself😍🤩

In this blog post, I cover Going Bad, a new resto-bar in Gurgaon that aims to elevate your dining experience through its quirky sustainable menu. I have been reviewing food since 2006. And while it has been an absolute honor to receive invites for tasting food and share my experiences publicly, not many realize it is also a responsibility when you're putting things out in the public realm. One bad review can put the restaurant staff out of their gear, so I try to be mindful about what I write and publish on the blog and social media. My aim, staying honest and on point, is to help the restaurant improve its service and scale-up. Last week, I reviewed Going Bad, a new resto-bar in Gurgaon. Don't let the name fool you; the talking point here is contemporary tapas-style small plates, sharing platters, and curated bowl meals. Located on the first floor of The Palm Spring Plaza on Golf Course Road, Gurgaon, the resto-bar is open every day from 12 noon to 1 A.M. The cuisine is mainly the Mediterranean, influenced by the Creole and Cajun cuisines. Each dish is cooked with largely local, regional, fresh, seasonal, and sustainable produce and will remind you of classic recipes and methods of cooking like smoke/wood fire cooking, charcoal cooking, slow cooking, confit, etc. The Going Bad menu is designed by celebrated Chef Sabyasachi and comprises a balanced mix of comfort food and exotic food options. Inside the kitchen, Chef Aabir Chakravarty and his team are at the helm, championing #VocalForLocal and #EatTheRainbow by using farm-fresh, seasonal, and colorful edible flowers, salad herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Expect a potpourri of unique and uncommon ingredients from around the country, for instance, home-cured feta, Kodai, Bandel smoke, Kalimpong cheddar, Kalari, wild floral honey, and jaggery, etc. Free-range eggs and antibiotic-free corn-fed poultry are also used for preparation. My recommendations at Going Bad include Selection of Freshly Made Hummus, GB's Fried Chicken, Spiced Chicken Pizza, Sizzling Gambas, Cajun Grilled Prawns, and Succulent Chicken Sosatie. With a range of gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and plant-based options, the menu appeals to a broad audience. Fresh in-house bread, sourdough, ciabatta, focaccia, etc. are served on your table, and you can pair them with single-origin tea and coffee, carefully chosen for vegan and dairy-free guests. Combine groovy hip-hop music, multicolor LEDs, neon lights, and sumptuous food, and you get Going Bad. I can't wait to revisit!
