Remembering this young masterchef runner up Doyel Sarangi , on her birthday , it is the right day to write about my experience at her Gastro Bar " Teddy Boy" . Initially when she joined my food group on facebook "The Kitchen Affair" , I asked her about her expertise and I was little dissappointed to hear " Fusion food" . I feel most of the restaurants create fusion and kill the authentic flavour of the dish. In my view the main flovour should retain and dominate in any fusion dish. Anyway we exchanged our digits and planned several times to meet which we were not getting the oppurtunity or you can say time to meet . After few months Doyel joined Priyank Sukhija and Vivek Bhargava's Teddy Boy and got busy on her work . Generally I dnt write for Bars/Pubs because I feel most of the bars do not emphasis on food but when I got an invitation from my friend Veta Ratra , I confirmed my presence just to meet Doyel and see her fusion cooking . Today I am proud to say that , this bong girl proved me wrong and I was equally amazed with the ambience and service of Teddy Boy.
With British era decor and retro english music , a positive vibe was in the atmosphere. In the theme of British subculture of 50's era , interiors are with heavy leathered sofas . Terrace has a beautiful view of Delhi city with Central Park and Janpath on opposite sides .
Coming back to the menu, it has mixed flavours of Bengal and Mumbai's street food . They have a separate section with continental flavors . From Mumbai's Keema-Pao, Keema tikka , Anda -Pao to Bengal's Kashundi flavoured chicken tikka , Payosh and Malai chingri are paired very well with their concoctions .
These days , people get attracted to beautiful and quirky presentation. Teddy Boy has interestingly created the fusion dishes , retaining the original flavour and serve in interesting fish bowls , colourful rickshaws and many more . The authentic flavour of Malai chingri is served with red rice . Although it would have been better if they would have served Kerala red rice instead of beet root coloured basmati. 10/10 marks should go for Kashundi flavoured chicken tikka which they serve in shot glasses . It was a perfect balance of mustard and other spices . I could not resist myself when I heard TB also serve bengal's famous payosh . The original flavour of thick payosh was dominating even it was served with dark chocolate sauce . This dish won over another dessert "White Cigar Rolls" , which was chocolate cigars , mousse and pink dust . Besides above mentioned Indian flavours I also had Mushroom and Chicken Bruschettas . Veg Bruschetta won over the chicken one . Along with the food , I had a "pouch" of Cosmopolitan . A nice mix of cosmo was served in a plastic bag , which is impressive for young generation . In nutshell , this gastro bar is pocket friendly with 1600/- appx for two , with delectable food , beautiful ambiance and retro music .
