The Village Cafe, Vodafone Belvedere Rapid Metro Station, DLF Cyber City

 I had skipped dinner at office and was starving at logoff time when hunger pangs got the better of me. Walked into a dhaba style restaurant inside the Vodafone Belvedere Rapid Metro Station. Ordered desi Gobi Pyaaz Parantha and Egg Bhurji for that quick late night meal. 

The first disappointment when the food arrived was that the Parantha was a Tandoor Parantha and not a Tawa Parantha. The second disappointment was that the Parantha was 100% made of Maida (refined flour)and not wholesome aata (Wheat flour). The Gobi-Pyaaz stuffing was also rare and not enough to make up for the fat layer of Maida visible in the bread. I asked the staff at the counter and he politely replied that we don't serve Tawa Parantha at all. I have a feeling that they also don't serve Aata (wholesome wheat) Paranthas.

The Egg Bhurji was decent and you could balance the stingy Gobi-Pyaaz stuffing with the taste of piping hot Bhurji. I noticed the waiter carefully cleaned the spoon before inserting it in the bowl at the time of serving. Unfortunately the bowl that the Egg Bhurji has been served in does not look as clean, please refer to the uploaded pics. 

You could help yourself to a box of Mixed Pickles (achar) to spice up the taste of Paranthas. The Achar is hidden behind the Bhurji bowl. :)

Overall its a decent place for some economical north Indian/chinese food, given that everything is so costly in nearby Cyber Hub. Please walk-in without any expectations and you may be surprised with some of their dishes. Happy eating-out to all the foodies on Zomato. Cheers!!
