Chocolate room, a small and cosy place  located in unitech cyber park, Gurugram is a place to for chocolate lovers, with its endless options of shakes, frappes, waffles and desserts apart from sandwiches, burgers, pastas and wraps. We tried the ferrero rocher shake, hearty chicken spaghetti, ceaser salad wrap and grilled chicken tacos. The ferrero rocher shake, topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce, was rich and absolutely sinful. The ceaser salad wrap had a generous filling of tomatoes, cucumber, cottage cheese and ceaser dressing.The melt in the mouth filling of these wraps stole the show. The place is a great option to hang out with family and friends while enjoying the yummy food it has to offer.

Sandwich factory - Review

Located in a quiet spot of Mayur Vihar, Sandwich Factory is an adorable little outlet loved by the locals. As I was pooling to reach the place, a rather friendly uber pool match helped us locate it and with a smile, added "Oh I know sandwich Factory, I go there really often. Really good food". With this one interaction, I assumed coming all the way from South Delhi would be worth it. Upon entering you're greeted by Mr.Mustafa who's the manager at Sandwich Factory and is really positive and polite. We started with one of the best sellers at Sandwich Factory, the Creamy Bruschetta. As the name suggests, It's a simple bruschetta with herbs and cheese sauce layered over a fluffy piece of bread. It's comforting and quite delicious. The Grilled Italian Panini and Tex-Mex burrito are best sellers here, but a little more filling would've made the otherwise thin and scanty wrap-style burrito much better.

For me, eating out means eating unhealthy-but-delicious food and I was quite adamant on this stand until I actually went out and tried great-tasting-0-guilt healthy food at Hwealth Cafe. Hwealth Cafe is located in the shopping district of New Friends Colony and has the cutest interiors. The huge windows let in brilliant amounts of sunlight which make the place feel warm and welcoming. They've got a couple of indoor plants, which made me fall in love with the place even before I tried the food. The menu clearly mentions the number of calories you'll get with what you're ordering and the amount of protien, carbs, fiber and fat the dish has to help you make the right choice. I started by trying their choco-peanut butter high protein smoothie , which had a very prominent nutty taste that might be loved by fans of peanut butter. They've got a rang

Lipstick under my burkha
