When Cafe Delhi Heights sole a 2,00,000th Jucy Lucy Burger (Rs 445), a sequence organized a foe during a outlets in Gurgaon, Delhi and Noida. Ashish Singh, a corporate cook of 13 of a outlets — with another one entrance adult on Janpath and Mumbai’s initial bend rising during Kamala Mills currently — tells us that a leader ate two-and-a-half of a burgers, while a runners-up gave adult during dual and during 1.75. Consisting of a 250gm mutton patty, 70gm cheddar cheese commanding and 15 to 20gm of jalapenos, respectively, all pressed in a six-inch bun, this burger is really not for a weak-hearted. But if we adore gastronomic challenges, it’s a must-try. We make a disaster when we try one, though penchant a paprika-herbed patty with crunchy veggies and a cheesy aftertaste.

A house displays 2,08,133 when we travel in, a series augmenting with any Jucy Lucy sold. A demeanour around a colourful 80-seater space, conflicting Farzi Cafe and cushioned between The Beer Cafe and Love and Cheesecake, reveals it to be family-friendly. The booths come with LCDs; there is a low-seating area for loud groups and a bar territory to trip into nightclub mode.

Owners Sharad and Vikrant Batra have also got Michael Swamy — who non-stop Nueva, a South American fine-dine, with a twin in Delhi — to emanate a recipe book formed on a 80 dishes from a menu, that will be launched in Mumbai subsequent month.

Anti-oxidant Smoothie

We start with ISBT Makhani Maggi (Rs 285), installed with chunks of butter that warp into a tawny gravy. Our cholesterol turn shoots adult even before we take a initial punch of a spicy, Indianised recipe that might accept ridicule from Maggi purists. But we are astounded during ourselves for indeed polishing off this bowl.

The Sushi Chirasa (Rs 825) — traditionally served as a play of gummy rice, with crabsticks, avocado, tuna, salmon and peppers tossed in — is totally avoidable as a gummy morsels destroy to stir us.

We clean a taste with a Nimboo Anardana Shikanji (Rs 205), that is bedecked with coriander and embodies a best of a chatpata flavour.

By a time we strech a Eggs Benedict (Rs 375), we are wishing that a dishes went easy on a butter, given they are comfortingly savoury but it. The Benedict comes on a bed of wet croissant and bacon, and a yolk oozing out of it tempts us to puncture in.

The croutons in a Panzanella Salad (Rs 375) are crunchy, and so are a French beans, broccoli and babycorn, flavoured with Parmesan and herbs. We also sip on an Anti-oxidant Smoothie (Rs 325), that has chia and flax seeds, strawberry and yoghurt.

Finally, delayed claps and drum rolls for Mom’s Butter Chicken Tikka Masala (Rs 625), please. This one’s a family recipe, with a duck smoked in a tandoor and proposal to punch into. To a pleasant surprise, a tawny tomato gravy is sans cashew nuts. The plate is served with prohibited naans and saffron-scented rice. Slightly sour and spicy, this is one butter duck that Mumbai’s been longing for.
