Last week my cook didn’t turn up in the evening. So I decided to have dinner at a dhaba nearby. It serves meal @ Rs 40, a kind of no fuss place. But all of a sudden I changed my mind and decided to go to Nirulas. Its outlet in Gurgaon Sec- 22 is very small . It can barely sit around 10 people. I asked for the menu and was confused by the plethora of choices I had. Rajma chawal @ Rs 65. Choley Kulcha @ Rs 70 and so on. Finally I decided to go in for the Executive Veg thali, as it looked to have many items and in good enough quantity to satiate my hunger. So I ordered the Thali @ Rs 108. Since there was no room to sit, I asked for a parcel.
Well the order arrived in around 3 min. I happily took it and went to my room. But my happiness deserted me as soon as I opened the packing box. "What the f ?" .. were the first words that came out of my mouth. The actual quantity that they had given was not even half of that displyed in the menu. Anyways I had fallen in for the picture. But the travesty didin’t end there . The naan, was burnt on one side. Infact it was charred.
The pulao, was half cooked. The dal-makhni had no tatse. And pieces of onion and a lemoncomprised the so called ’salad’ section. I was barely able to eat anything. With every bite I took, I cursed myself for not eating at the dhaba.
