Great food, pleasant and efficient service, and unbelievable value for money. Tried the Belgian waffle with a scoop of ice cream, and the fiery hot chicken wings in devil sauce. The waffle was rather lovely, warm, with bananas, chocolate sauce and a dollop of ice cream which melted real quick.

The Lalit food truck

 The White and Red painted Lalit Food truck stands near Hotel Lalit in all its glory. A little hard to locate, to describe its precise location, I’ll say it’s near the  mandir that is located there & World Trade Tower, Barakhamba Road. Ask around and you may just locate it easily.

The Jamaican Jerk burger had a delicious minced chicken patty which had oodles of flavour in itself and couple that with the amazing dressing of lettuce onions and Jalapenos with flavoured mayonnaise and some very different sauces. The bun was probably the best in that whole package.
