Handloom Saree Bhawan in Paranthe Wali Gali

Regular readers of the blog would know that in my quest to help out with the wedding shopping of some family members, I have gone to different parts of Delhi and learnt about the shops all over. A lot of this has been the shopping for clothes, especially the fancy types that are normally part of a wedding.
So, this time it was the quest to find sarees to gift to relatives, especially, the close relatives. I had been told that near the other saree shops of Apsara and Gauri Shankar in the Paranthe Wale Gali of Chandni Chowk, there was another good shop. I went there, and found it very easily. The shop had some great sarees, including the silk sarees that we were looking for, and we walked out of the shop a couple of hours later having bought more than 5, and also having spent a fair amount of money.
The shop had very courteous staff, offering us cold drinks and hot tea / coffee while we were doing our shopping, and they showed us sarees of many different types including cotton, chiffon, goergette, rajasthani, and silk.
The shop is located just near Apsara Sarees, and the contact phone numbers are:
23270567, 23262870, 23259265

Equisite men wear - Study by Janak

There are times when you need to dress real well, typically if it is the wedding of a close relative, or of yourself. At such times, the trend is more towards going in for traditional stuff, or semi-traditional stuff rather than the older fashion of wearing men's western suits. Now, when you go in for stuff such as kurta-pyjamas, or a sherwani, or a Indo-western outfit, the basic problem is of finding a place that will make something that you will like to wear. You cannot go to your nearby mall, and select what to wear in such a case.
Study by Janak is one place where you can get such outfits made. There are choices with Indo Western outfits, classy suits (of the more shining material / Italian fabrics) as compared to the dull Western suits, or you can even select sherwani's or a fashionable kurta-pyjama. You go there, select what you want, and they will take your measurements, and then the clothes are ready after a couple of weeks.

The sarees and ladies suits over there finally gave her what she wanted, and she was satisfied.

Breakfast @ Café Style, Noida

It was a relatively free Saturday today, after few last weekends, when we decided to have breakfast outside. We have thought about having breakfast out of home earlier as well but there were not enough (read good) options for that in Noida. In Dehli, there are better breakfast and brunch options for the weekends but traveling to them and that too empty-stomach is not a good thing to do for me:)

But I have read about this place in Sector 18 Noida, where they have good breakfast menu. So, we decided to check it today. The place is near Superstars and called 'Café Style'. It is a new joint but has received good reviews wherever I have read about it. It is quite laid-back, spacious and 'stylish'. The first thing that you notice on entering the place is the whole concept. The sofas are comfortable and the chairs are more than spacious. The place is spread in two floors and they have some outside sitting as well. They have some old artifacts (mostly from UK of 50s and 60s) spread across these sitting area - a 1954 scooter, a 1962 car and more.

Since we were there for breakfast, we decided to stick to their breakfast menu only. The breakfast menu is available from 8 AM to noon and has well thought variety. There is a Punjabi style breakfast (Alloo parantha along with curd, pickle, butter and tea), a Mumbai style breakfast (Pao Bhaji along with tea), an English style breakfast (three egg omelette of choice - masala, mushroom, cheese, toast, salad), an Obama style breakfast (bowl of cereals with milk, fruit salad, sausages, croissant and choice of juice) or just plain old cornflakes.

We order one Punjabi style breakfast and one English style breakfast. All the preparations were well done - paranthas were not oily at all and appropriately stuff, toast were properly 'toasted', omelette was also wonderful. And this all topped with masala tea was wonderful. Overall, we had a good experience. We did not go further than the breakfast menu - something left for next time.
