Food in Faridabad

How do I describe my bond with Faridabad.....except as deep, all encompassing and eternal. I was born and brought up here; did my schooling at D.A.V. Public School; pursued graduation degree from Delhi University and then went to Hyderabad for higher studies. My childhood friends and best buddies are from Faridabad itself, and time has come a full circle, for now my daughter and my two months old son is growing up here.

Having spent so many years here, I know the city so well and that makes me love and appreciate it all the more. I have visited almost all the parts of India, but its is here that I feel most relaxed and completely at ease.

And it is because I know the city like the back of my hand that I am thrilled about sharing with you all places where you can enjoy lip smacking specialties, Faridabad and otherwise. Infact, I must emphasize as the city enjoys mixed culture so you can never be gastronomically bored here.

Of the numerous eating places, I have zeroed in on the top five which happened to be my favorites, and which you must try out whenever you make a visit to Fariadabad. Sethi and Wimply's in sector 15 had won me over since I was in school. I am a big fan of burgers available over there. Next on my top-eats list is Mircheez at Crown Plaza in Sector 15.

I usually work late, so its bit difficult to take out time to go out and chill with my family and friends, but on rare occasions, when I do I prefer Moksh and Alle's Spice. I love the Grilled jumbo tortillas, Murg Makhanwala and Garlic Naan at Moksh. For spicy Chicken Lababdar - Alle's Spice is best recommended.

Street Food has always fascinated me and I am crazy about sizzling momos available at Bercos. Nothing beats the experience of Aalo ki tikki and Gol Gappas outside Moti Mahal in Sector 16. And not to miss is – Billu is Lassi (No.5) and Puri Sabji of Chaudhary Dhabe wala.

The one dining restaurant whose traditional food will tug at you heart strings is Pind Baluchi. What incredible about the place is that the taste has remained consistent all through. I usually run to the place to pamper and rejuvenate myself with some good food and murkily rustic ambiance. Masala Dosa at Sagar Ratna is my favorite haunt for the south Indian food.

The city has become increasingly vibrant and happening in the past few years. With more people from Faridabad moving globally (especially upwardly mobile corporate class) and experimenting with world cuisine, they want all the flavors available in their favorite city as well. I fact eating out has become a main source of recreation. Some of the popular hangout spots from the youths include Pizza Hut, Domino's, McDonalds,Big Daddy, Chickenette, Sanjha Chulha etc.

After having the pleasure of tantalizing meal, head for the sparkling night out at Dazzle at SRS World City Centre, Sector 12, Faridabad. Apart from that Haze, Aqua Bar, Savannah, Pegs n Pints and Swing are definitely worth a try.
