BYOB, Steaks On Order & Quirky Merch: Have You Been To This Ahaata Yet?

One of the many ahaatas in Gurgaon, Outback is nothing much to look at from outside – just a small cafe next to a theka. The tiny door however gives way to a massive pebbled al fresco space complete with a live music corner and a store.

The most winning combination, if you ask us. And when you buy your beer at MRP prices {we understand this is slightly higher in G-town as compared to Delhi}, it makes the experience even sweeter. The only downside – no cocktails here, though you’re welcome to order mixers and make your own.

You first buy your booze from Lakeforest Wines and then take your white plastic bags inside and grab a table {go up to the terrace if you want a quieter, more intimate space}. The menu’s a mix of Continental, Italian and Asian with the BBQ section standing out the most, to us.

We tried their Peri Peri Chicken and Chicken Steak {tenderloin was unavailable} and were wowed by both. The Cheesy Garlic Bread is worth a bite too.

Or at least perusing the shop. Dragonfly has a mish-mash of home decor, T-shirts, duck-shaped contact lens cases, card holders and other “utility” items such as doughnut cushions and Simpsons bags. And everything’s totes adorable.

Go here for a round of drinks with some good ol’ chicken and follow it up with a bout of retail therapy.
