Dubliin Square Rohini paves way for great Indian food and handful of beverages

Rohini, in eastern Delhi, has always suffered due to the lack of good places for wining and dining but ever since Dubliin Square has opened there, the locales are finally getting a taste of some great dining experience. Dubliin Square is one of those places which give you the feeling of sitting in a high-end place but it happens to be quite an affordable place.

The restaurant is located in the secluded Mangalam Paradise Mall, sector 3, Rohini, New Delhi.

The average price for a meal for two people is about 1500 INR.

Ambience

The restaurant is a two storey establishment in the Paradise Mall, Rohini, one of the main stops for the shoppers. The ambiance inside the cafe is quite on the gloomy and sad side. The lighting seemed dull and uninspiring. Even though it seems a bit down, it does appeal to certain customers and that is why the place is almost always full of young groups and families. The upstair dining hall is somehow better and gives out a friendly vibe thanks to the better view and good lighting. The paintings and Buddha looked pleasant. In any case, the restaurant is good and if the low cost is taken into consideration, it may very well be one of the best places to eat in the area.

The food

To go well with the assortment of starters, we started with their mocktails such as Virgin Mojito and Ice Crush which had a strong presence of lime and mint. For starters, we had Paneer Multani Tikka and spring rolls. The vegetable spring roll that I had was one amazing way to warm up before actually getting onto the main course.

Out of the amazing meals served at the place, the ones for the vegetarians are pretty diverse and amazing. The much-preferred foodie destination deals primarily in the North Indian, Chinese and Continental food items. Almost every other meal that we tasted was excellent but we feel it is quite necessary to mention some meals over here that was unforgettable. The garlic fried rice that we ate was so drool-worthy that the taste hasn’t left my mouth even after a couple of days.

The tandoori roti with shahi paneer took my taste buds on a roller coaster ride. The menu is quite vast full of almost every other North Indian snack and main course food items, including dal makhani

Highlights

The restaurant is one of the best-reviewed places on many portals thanks to the impeccable service that is provided to the customers along with great food. Other than that, there are many other added services that help the customers in having a wonderful experience at the place. Along with the usual things such as full bar and live music performances every now and then, the restaurant also provides free home delivery services to the nearby residents. Buffet services are also there to make the experience as good as it gets.

The Verdict

It’s less than a year since the place has been under operation. The roaring success that it has achieved in a short period of time is noticeable. With great food and amazing staff, Dubliin Square has become one of the most important dining spots in and around Delhi.

If you really prefer a private dining area with your friends, The Vault Cafe in Connaught Place is the best place to be

Multi-cuisine menus courteously served in 5 themed private vaults that can easily accommodate between 8 and 22 people, this sums up the Vault Café for you.

With the crowd comprising of young and the restless Delhiites, bathed in somewhat neon reddish lights, this might just be the place in case you are looking for a group outing or a date.
