Shortcut

Reclaimed wooden benches and tables, an actual truck parked on the side, a deck and loads of space – welcome to The Friend’s Republic, a refreshing take on Gurgaon’s infamous ‘ahaatas’.

Economy Meets Entertainment

Add food to this mix and things become even more perfect. The perfect sides have got to be the Masala Peanuts and Cheese Nachos. If it’s a long night, then go slow with a couple of rounds of starters, Chilli Paneer, Hara Bhara Kebab, Chicken Barrah and Chicken Spring Rolls.

Once the bottle is half down, order your mains; if the place is full, it could take time. Do it London-style with Paneer Tikka Masala and naan or go for some Italian; the pizzas are pretty good, but the pastas are better. If you’re there with beer, there’s nothing better than the chicken or mutton biryani with raita.

So We’re Saying...

Go as a group, The Friends Republic is open till midnight, but if you have an order on the table you can stay on a bit longer. Prepare yourself for large crowds {the kind that will collect where booze is cheap}, spicy food and loud music.
