Review: AMPM Cafe and Bar at Rajouri Garden

While whimsically interesting, AM PM cafe and bar is located in the B.K. Dutta market of Rajouri Garden. It is a small space that truly resonates the spirit of young dining traditions against a setting of old Hollywood style diner. 

The menu, is no child's play- quite varied, it covers picks from Indian flavours which have been married with International favorites. The cafe cum bar that serves delicious food & drinks in a good ambiance. This cafe is suitable for an evening get-together of friends, for the families who want to treat themselves to delectable food menu or for couples who want a calm time out over a few drinks! 

We started with the drinks and ordered blueberry mojito which had white rum infused with blueberries, lemon and soda. The drink was very potent and had a beautiful colour. They have some amazingly well-made shakes like the double chocolate fudge shake, the classic kit kat shake and vanilla oero shake. The drinks were very well balanced with just the right hint of sweet in them. 

The cafe does really well in appetizers and salads like the crispy shitake mushroom and bamboo shoots that features crisp mushrooms and bamboo tossed in honey chilli sauce along with some oriental veggies. The Californian style juicy chicken wings served with BBQ sauce are highly recommended. However, the winner for me was the prawn ceaser salad. The freshly made salad had generous pieces of prawns, iceberg lettuce along with the dressing. We also ordered the veg variant of this salad and needless to say, it was yum! For the dumpling fans, there is spicy mushroom dimsums, which is spicy and delicious. 

We kept it rather simple for the mains and ordered the much acclaimed AMPM veggie pizza. This thin crust pizza had fresh wholesome ingredients like sun dried tomatoes, mushroom, broccoli and more. This was followed by the tropical veggie burger which according to us did not live up to its expectations (since it had rave reviews on Zomato). The burger patty was not juicy or fresh and lacked flavours. However, the sides served with the burger- potato wedges were super crisp and tasty.

Among desserts, the chocolate nutella torte is also reasonably good. It is a multi layered cake with chocolate cookie crust and nutella ganache. They also have waffles in their menu which are served with maple syrup, butter and mascarpone cheese. The waffles were slightly chewy and you can give it a pass.
