Chinese Thai Cafe (JMD Mall, Gurgaon) – chill out!

I fell in love with this place in just about 15 minutes the first time I went there. It has become the “Inductis farewell party” joint for us in the past 3 weeks :)

The ambience here is a wonderful blend of dim lights, comfortable furniture and AMAZING music – whether it be their live band (Monday & Wednesdays) or their in-house DJ. None of your hindi, punjabi or english pop numbers here – what you get is choicest variety of Rock and Metal – both old and contemporary. When you want to jive, some pretty rocking dance numbers start blaring out as well. The clientele here is very young and its a place where everyone is very well behaved. You see a lot of the foreign faces around as well – and they add a lot of spice to the place. Ambience is THE USP of this place.

Coming to the drinks – the cocktails are simply out of this world! Their bartenders know how to make the usual stuff very well – you get wonderfully stiff LITs and Bloody Marys. The lesser known stuff – Beer Blasters, Mojitos and Lip Liners are better than almost all the bars / pubs I have visited in Delhi or Gurgaon. Their happy hours extend till 9.30 PM in the night – and they are kind enough to take your last drink orders at 9.29 PM and serve those drinks at 10.30 PM :)

The food is spicy, andI have almost never tasted something on their menu which didn’t please my tastebuds. Their Crispy Lamb is a must eat – and some other stuff you should have are their chicken drumsticks, fried fish and fried button mushrooms. The satays are also good.

All this said and done – their service is also top notch. These guys know how to take care ofyou. You will never feel even a hint of displeasure towards the service – and that takes some doing. During one of our sit-ins, we managed to spill one of the Tequila shots we ordered, and without our saying so, it was replaced for us free of cost! We ran up a bill of a few thousands – that’s another story though!

Ambience – 10/10

Drinks – 10/10

Food – 9/10

Service – 9.5/10

Its a place you don’t want to miss in Gurgaon!

  6. Hi All,

    I certainly agree .. “Chinese Thai Cafe” AKA “TC” certainly lives upto the expectation, but the only downside or maybe a good factor is that there’s no stag entry ……… good for couples or just girls going there ……. but not always i have a girl’s company ….. hence no entry ….. :(

    If the “TC” people are reading this …. kindly be kind enuf to let ppl like me in ……..

    Regards
    Arindam Ghosh
