From spicy Kashmiri delights to Italian fare, DiVino at Sector 29 Gurgaon is fast coming up as a delish destination for those looking for a good meal in the middle of the day.
DiVino, Sector 29's Newest Joint Offers A Mix Of Italian & Kashmiri
Shortcut
Must Eat
They have an extensive global menu with interesting options, ranging from soya chaap made in Kashmiri spices and chickpea and hummus roulade, to olive and sun-dried tomato risotto {one of the best I’ve had anywhere!}. The arugula salad was delicious, and the loaded potatoes were very different from what you might be used to {spiked with some chili sauce and topped with cheese and jalapenos}.
For dessert, go for the apple crumble {we found the tiramisu to be a bit too sweet}.
Must Drink
A cooling mix of mango pulp, thyme, honey and lime, or a detoxifying concoction like tulsi and lime booster {they don’t have their liquor license yet}. They also have traditional fare such as the spiced shikanji you should check out. If you want a soup, try their mushroom and vegetable broth with coconut milk.
What We Loved
Their live pianist {with his own version of old Hindi and English numbers}.
What Didn't Impress Us
The air conditioning was a bit off, and given the Delhi weather, it can really hamper the experience.
When Is The Best Time To Visit?
They have a lot of evenings planned throughout the week, like their Sunday artist meet evenings and Tuesday ladies nights {you might want to wait for their liquor license before planning for this one}.
So, We're Saying...
Their food is worth the money—with a lot of fresh fruit in their drinks too {we bet you haven’t had some of their combinations anywhere before}. You might want to drop in for a quick pick-me-up if you’re in the area.

#LBBTip
They offer any three small plates for INR 395 only, which is quite a steal.
