The special dabeli masala is something you should never miss out. It contains a spicy potato mixture combined with onions, chutneys and masala peanuts. Coming directly from the street food vendors, the taste got even better. A single plate won’t be sufficient to satisfy your hunger.

Schezwan Noodles

The most beautiful part is to watch them cook this spicy noodles. After sautéing some ginger and garlic in a huge handi , they add a portion of mixed veggies along with a pinch of spicy schezwan sauce. The tossing of the noodles gives it a perfect spicy taste.

Puddu

Overall Experience and Rating

We were in a big dilemma looking at the enthusiasm all the street food vendors had on their face. The food walk was just an unforgettable experience. While the street attracted a huge number of people in the evening, our team somehow managed to taste most of their food delicacies. Some of the things we could cover include Pav Bhaji, Dabeli, Dosa, Puddu, Chaat, Ice Gola, Fir Paan, Jalebis, Momos, Noodles and Kulfi. The fire paan would definitely give you the best fire experience. You can also try eating some holiges (Similar to Puran Poli) and drink some freshly made fruit juices from the local stalls there. How beautiful it is to see everyone rushing up for their unrequited love towards street food. How incredible could be our country !  We did spend a wonderful evening satisfying our gastronomic cravings. When are you planning to?

Overall Experience and Rating

The first thing which caught our attention is their capacious and colorful lobby. While having a property walk through session, we were quite impressed with three of their gems located in the lobby area viz. wxyz bar, Nook and Re:Fuel. “Nook” is a must go place if you really want to enjoy some delicious food. Aloft has a separate breakfast, lunch and dinner menu for their guests and shows no hesitation in offering a wonderful hospitality during the stay. They have an amazing staff to take good care of you, be it in terms of food, room service or any kind of advisory. Going forward, their board rooms and banquet hall play a significant role in conducting corporate meetups or hosting a wedding ceremony. Covering the fitness part, their gym contains a list of the well chosen equipment with a massaging chair kept right outside. We had a pleasant stay for 1 night 2 days where we enjoyed most of their activities like foosball, swimming,etc. in our leisure time.
