"AND I DONT CARE" - I will praise this restaurant till the end - it is an awesome overall experience , people say I am biased and i write flowery stuff for restaurants i favor - no no , i only write what is good -if im not satisfied i dont put it in print ,i speak tot he owner the chef and inform them my concerns - and btw why shudn i be ? what is good is good - consistency in Food Quality , flavors and service - what else does a restaurant need to succeed. Anuradha and Rohit have certainly done a fab job with Spoonful Of Soul at Nathupur DLF Phase 3 Gurgaon , the decor the concept the food the plating and the Menu are just perfect .
Took family for the new year lunch - which included my In laws and my tabar ..... they Loved it to the core , they walked out and said bada hee light khana see hahahahaha well thats how European or continental food is perceived with the old timers .Infact i was a bit hesitant whether they will appreciate this kind of Soul food or not and much to my surprise my pop in law said - beta next time i will treat you out here ... wah wah lucky Tiger.
SOS if i may call it - is a one dish per person restaurant ... trust me you will not like to share your dish with anyone its so delicious . point to be noted Tiger hates to share but loves to dig into your dish .Professional Sillyness.

| Private Elevator to SOS |
You enter into this village type complex in Nathupur Village, with a couple of more restaurants a grocer a dry cleaner a designer boutique - smart valet approaches you efficiently takes your car away , you walk into the courtyard you have a private lift taking you straight to the restaurant on second floor ..nice two sided elevator with glass ,feels nice .
Why the fuss about the elevator - my in laws who are senior citizens were super comfortable going der - or let me put this way we were very comfortable taking them there, where they had no stairs to climb . Includes me the lazy tiger also lol .

| The Fluke Store |
The Fluke store was the new addition to SOS . very interesting creative store , funky stuff good enuf for some impulsive buying - believe its from mumbai.
Perfect conformable seating , with just perfect natural light flowing in .Good positive vibes thanks to the soothing colors and layout.
The Decor i guess is Anuradhas creation very artistically done with a lot of finesse .. I like - the finishing on the wall is rustic , the decor elements are a re a mix of turkish and modern artifacts .
And now they have a full loaded bar too , i didn drink but i believe the martinis are amazing - rohit creates them ... last time i had a water melon martini which was cool and refreshing .. a nice hangout for the big boys and girls.

| Devil On Stilts |
Prawns wrapped in bacon in aged balsamic served with yum mayo dip . The dip had a great tinge to it just perfect fr the prawns . This dish have eaten several times at good Chinese places so was a bit surprised to see it here on the menu - well it tasted fab with the salad and the dip .
 |
| Mushroom Cappuccino |
This always amazes me - bits of mushroom , froth like a coffee and the taste of my fav vegetable divine mushrooms .. an awesome soup for the winters , loved the texture of the soup , the appropriate thickenss infact if this served in a regular kofi cup wud pass away for a frothy cappuccino .

| Smoked chicken Soup |

| Zucchini Rolls |

| Aubergine Au Gratin |
Layers of Aubergine with spinach tomato and mushroom .. A vegetarians delight . Wife was a veggy and she 100% approved the dish - toba means a lot . But i have also dissected the dish earlier and found it very interesting - the sauce used to season the veggies is fantastic like a true homey . The yum mince in between the slices adds so much texture and crunch to the aubergine.
Anuradha / Rohit please add more veg options for these silly veggies lol

| Roast Lamb chilli |
Honestly speaking was expecting something different and got something different lol , noodles and roasted lamb with khimchi on the side ... the lamb was well marinated and roasted for sure ... the freshness of the egg noodles stood out wonderfully. Great combo and well made chinese dish .
check out the freshness of the noodles

| Soul Mate |
One of the best dishes from SOS , and real heavy - deboned thigh of chicken stuffed with chicken mince cheese ,sun dried tomato and in cashew sauce .. wow wee served with herbed rice . Awesome texture of the chicken - wish i cud show u a sliced version of the chicken ... need to figure out the brown sauce they have used to add immense falvor to the chicken . Truly a signature dish of SOS.
 |
| Pork Chops |
Oh My all time favorites PORK CHOPS - wonder why people are so scared of pork - the minute u say pork please the whole family glares at you as if u asked for cocaine or something - man for me the best meat is Pork the texture , the flavor the chewness I just love it . Well the pork chops were a huge portion of chops well marinated and grilled served in bar b q sauce .... truly magical. Am going bak for more for sure whether family likes it or not . Nice veggies on the side baked potato with cheese and other nutritious stuff lol . Meaty chops and the meat well cured thats my perfect Pork Chop, easy to cut and chew .

| Chocolate Browny with Ice Cream |
This was beautiful dig deep down . the crumbled brownie with ice cream was bit different - i thot it was a crushed oreo in it but no it was actually a brownie . Well made desert polished it off single handedly .
