Eating Options At The New Town Café (NTC) In Gurgaon's Newest Hotel Park Plaza


By piaracontractor, Section Good Eating Places Around?
Posted on Sun Jun 05, 2005 at 09:55:00 PM EST

It's a Tuesday afternoon and if the bustling crowd is any indication, then New Town Café (NTC) in Gurgaon's newest hotel Park Plaza seems promising. Largely patronised by Gurgaon's BPO and corporate crowd, the hotel is owned by the Radisson group. Besides NTC, which is the 24-hour coffee shop, the hotel also has a branch of The Great Kabab Factory that sadly is open only for dinner.

The good news about the 70-cover NTC is that it's airy and full of natural light. There's cheery artwork on the walls and a huge central flower arrangement that towers over the salad buffet like a reigning deity. The bad news is that the executive chef recommends the buffet to us. Hmm, no signature dish? No house specialty? Catch any self-respecting maestro not pushing his own brand of magic! Chef Wadhera hastens to say that he's put in a great deal of effort into his buffet therefore... Point taken, we dutifully start off at the salad counter that appears to hold out promise. It's only when I discover that the balsamic vinegar dressing is loaded with bhuna zeera and chaat masala, that I do a double take. "Just to spice things up," the maitre d' says helpfully. Don't mess with the balsamic I want to wail. But a quick round of the other things on offer proves that the dominant flavours are desi-from the channa salad to the chicken chaat. Even the Tex-Mex section looks suspiciously like it belongs to our part of the world. Raw onions clearly rule the day--they're in practically everything! (Will restaurateurs, especially those who cater to the office crowd realise how responsible they are for the monster breath that non-kacha-pyaz eaters like myself have to put up with?)

Moving on to the main course there's a selection of six vegetarian and six non-vegetarian dishes to choose from. This part of the buffet I have to admit is really not bad. Choices range from the butter gravy/ korma variety to continental options like grilled lamb chops and pasta. There's also an above-average biryani as part of the deal. That said, NTC perhaps makes some of the best rotis that I've had in a long time--they're a manageable size, and nicely crisp instead of the doughy breads that one is usually handed. The a la carte menu features coffee shop regulars like fish and chips, burgers and club sandwiches and Indian favourites like Goa Fish Curry.

The bottom line is: don't go looking for a gastronomic orgy at NTC, but the ambience is pleasant-the owners have spared no expense on creating a high-end look-the service is friendly and you can get a drink. Certainly visit if you live in Gurgaon. Would I drive all the way from Delhi? I'm not so sure about that one!
