Aye boss, ek repeat laana!

If you're one of those people who spend/ have spent most of their free time at Gokul or Sunlight, you will not be wondering what the pretext of the title is!


This post is for all those people who want to let their hair down, have a couple of drinks, goof around, and just have fun. Now imagine all this with some great food, the most suitable ambiance, no shady people hanging around while getting your money's worth! Yes, that's exactly what Quarter House is here to offer!

        Quarter House, the sophisticated version of Janta, Gokul could be your new go to place. People at Quarter House, do not believe in 30mls. For them, it all starts from 60ml and goes up to a quarter. The best part for us was the hippy Bollywood music to which we could let our bodies groove (Lets be honest here, no one can truly dance on EDM!) From the Jitendra era to the Amitabh one, the Ranbir Kapoor one to the Ranveer Singh one, the DJ knew exactly what to play to life up everyone's spirits.

        Ms. Aditi, the person behind all this knows better than keeping authentic oriental, Mughlai or European food; she also knows what its like to eat outside more than 3-4 times a week. So, their menu includes food like dal chawal among the likes of fried rice, curd rice, aloo paratha, chole puri, misal pav, paneer papad tacos, aloo tuk tuk, pesto paneer, etc. Kudos for pulling off such a thing! 
The food, overall was a winner. It is innovative and Ms. Aditi's risk bearing nature is clearly reflected in the food served to the customers. She has taken simple dishes, combined a few of their elements and has invented some brilliant food for your soul. For example - the motichoor bomb - Who would've thought the desi motichoor ladu enveloped in a layer of alcohol soaked flourless chocolate cake would be such a winner! Another dish we highly recommend would be the paneer papad tacos. Instead of a tortilla, roast and fold a papad and you won't even notice the difference! Infact, it gives a better, slightly spicy taste with a better texture.


A few pictures of some of the dishes we devoured that night-

Galouti kebab
Pesto paneer
Dabeli
Misal pav
Paneer fried rice

Kulfi
Motichoor bomb - The highlight of our evening
It's not only the food that is innovative; there's a flight of stairs leading to a secret dungeon. No, you can't make secret potions here. Remove the chairs and tables, bring out the funky little stools, ask the DJ for your own music, pull out the games and there you have your own little private party!

Another detail I really liked about the place was the dart board and the pack of cards kept in the lawn to provide entertainment even when you're waiting for a place inside! Speaking of details, the washroom is another detailed place here - posters, memes hanging all over! (In case you forgot to bring your phone along. :p) 

Over all, I'm a huge fan of the place and loved all the detail behind this one gem of a place! My suggestion would be to hit it before it becomes a favorite amongst the youth and makes it impossible to find place.
I'd give it 4.5 out of 5. 

Would I go back? I've made my reservation already!


Gobble On.
