Review of Bamboo Shoot Kitchen.

Amar Colony, Lajpat Nagar also known as resettlement colony for refugees of Partition time , has become a favourite place for  North Easterns to live in. Due to its affordable rental, many youngsters prefer this place, as they find this place as central place to connect with rest of  Delhi-NCR with nearby Metro Station.  Most of the  residents  are working in Corporates, Call centers and studying in Delhi Universities. Among such NE residents, a group of friends decided to open up an outlet with authentic Naga, Manipuri and Assamese cuisine. When i went to visit their place for first time, i tried to speak to few student-guests , and they told me that , as students it is difficult to cook their meal and they cnt eat spicy meals on everyday basis. So they find their food as home cooked at Bamboo Shoot Kitchen

Their Menu consists of Beef, Chicken , Pork and Fish curries of all three state's cuisine . Although they have few vegetarian dishes but it is little difficult for vegetarians to find  options. Their range of chutneys - Eromba, Outi, Kangshoi, Sinju, King chilli chutney, are everybody's favorite.
Students find their Thalis very affordable. Their "add on" bonus is . they serve "Phik Chaa"( tea without sugar and milk) along with the meal.

Singthing, the senior most among the team , keeps trying and play with ingredients  to add interesting and innovative dishes in their menu. Recently they have come up with Burger with Northeastern flavour , with Pork meat, bambooshoot and Bhoot Jolokia.

As the Cafe is close by to my place, it has become my fav place for hangout.
