Café
culture is on the rise in Delhi NCR. A mix of great food, coffee and cocktails
in a comfy-plush environment is ideal for millennials who like to work out of
cafes, spending hours chatting or playing board games with their friends or
simply read a book over delicious cups of coffee. In all this though, food
still takes centrestage.

When the
Le Cordon Bleu trained chef, Jyotika Malik, relocated to Delhi after 16 years living
across London, Switzerland, Mumbai and Dubai, she felt that there was a gap in
café food that she wanted to fill. Having worked at
The Dorchester Hotel in London, The Zodiac Grill in Mumbai and consulting many
standalone restaurants in Dubai, as well as her enriching food-based travels
across the world, Jyotika had many favourites that were missing in the existing
cafes in the NCR. “Although I love food, I am also very conscious about what I
put into my body; I enjoy clean eating and avoid tinned foods as far as
possible,” she shares over a relaxed Sunday Brunch at her latest project: AD Singh’s All Day Café at Cyber
Hub, Olly. She has thus put together an international menu with dishes that
cross culinary boundaries. From breakfast to sandwiches and salads, pizzas and
pastas to meals in a bowl, and tacos to Buddha bowls, there is literally
something for everyone! While you may find a lot of comfort food, there are
also some dishes with surprise ingredients that “encourage discovery” and allow
guests to broaden their palate.

We set Chef Jyotika to a very difficult
task: asking her to pick a few must-have dishes from the extensive menu. While
a chef typically loves everything that she puts on a menu, here are her top
picks:
- New School Porridge: This vegan, gluten-free and dairy free
porridge is made with quinoa, millet, almond milk, coconut water, berries, chia,
pistachio, cacao and dates.
- Scrambled Eggs with goat’s cheese, oven roasted tomatoes,
crispy kale and toasted sourdough.
- Huevos
Rancheros: A hearty breakfast dish of a fried egg, crispy bacon, refried beans,
chipotle sour cream, fiery avocado and pico de gallo on a soft tortilla.
- Sweet Pots: Grilled sweet potatoes topped with feta, chilli, lime, celery, parsley, cranberries, walnuts
and avocado.
- Big Cheese: Ottolenghi-inspired fresh burrata, honey, coriander seeds and orange segments.
- Dip Dip: Quintessential Middle-Eastern za’atar pita with moutabal, muhammara, hummus and pine nuts.
- Dip Dip: Quintessential Middle-Eastern za’atar pita with moutabal, muhammara, hummus and pine nuts.
- Prawns Pil
Pil: Classic Spanish prawns with chilli, garlic, parsley and baguette to
mop up the delish sauce.
- Lamb
Chops that melt-in-the-mouth and are served with cauliflower couscous, spicy
sesame cucumber and tzatziki.

We really enjoyed her suggestions because these dishes are simply delicious! On our part we’d recommend that you don’t miss the French Toast. Made with brioche, it comes with contrasting textures and flavours of salted caramel, hazelnuts, dark chocolate ganache and berries.
Pair your
meal with refreshing cocktails or coffees like the Koinonia Original cold brew, Marvahulla single origin coffees or bespoke
iced coffees such as salted caramel or the coconut iced latte and the
toasted marshmallow iced mocha.

I am cool with the page and fine with it being an open page. I only bring it up because there was recently a thread on the page discussing the open nature of the page. During that thread it was pointed out that the church opted not to operate a facebook page and so several congregants began and administer the page. There seemed to be a lot of folks who were surprised or had forgotten that the page was unofficial.
