Farzi Cafe - Cyber City Gurgaon

Farzi Cafe which set up shop at the Cyber Hub a few years back pioneered the concept of molecular gastronomy in  Gurgaon. It's generally always full and a reservation is definitely recommended before heading to FC.


I went to Farzi Cafe recently for dinner and was met with a warm hospitality and courteous staff. The setting is divided into two sections the one closer to the main door more preferred for small groups. They have a well-stocked bar with a variety of wine and drinks. I ordered a couple of cocktails which were good.



Starters 
Keema Kulcha with Mint Jalapeno  - Minced mutton added into small pockets of bread and served with a great chutney.

                                

Dal Chawal Arancini - A signature dish at FC Dal Chawal Arancini is one of their bestselling items as well. Dal balls are served with papads on the top.


Grainy Mustard Fish Tikka - The best dish I found at this place came with its own barbeque set (coal lit). The fish had abundance of flavors and the sauce over it accentuated the taste.

Tempura Fried Prawns - with lemon air - Freshly fried prawns with foamy air, adding a twist through molecular gastronomy. 
                                     
Main Course

Tried the cheese naan, which was very crisp and light and came with an awesome chicken cooked to perfection.

Desserts
Tried the Ras Malai Tress with carrot embedded into it.
Chocolate Dome - A beautiful ball of chocolate with cashew nut mawa and a generous dose of Horlicks milk poured over it. It had Chocolate mousse inside.

Ironically, even though the place is famous for its innovation with food, its the core Indian food which shines in this place.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
