TGIF, Gurgaon

5 people, Drinks: Ultimate LIT and Lynchberg Lemonade, 3 Margaritas, 1 Tequila Sunrise, 1 glass of Satori red wine (Happy hours, so multiply all by 2 except the wine).Appetisers: Friday's Nachos; Main Course: Veg Chimichanga, Chicken Chimichanga, Twisted Chicken Pasta, Tomato Basil Pasta, Veg Club Sandwich, Veg Fajitas. Dessert: 2 Chocolate Malted Turtles. Bill: Rs 5,100. Value for Money: This time, yes,(see below to learn why). Food (main course dishes) is otherwise definitely overpriced. Appetisers are usually VFM.Drinks VFM in HH's.

First the important stuff: Late night happy hours from 10:30 onwards and you can order till about 12 (Sunday to Thursday). Usual happy hours till 8:30 (dunno when they start), 50% off on desserts (late night) - wonder how long that lasts.(Some special offer on the southwest menu was going on, not any more however, where you could pick anything else from the menu upon ordering a southwest dish for the same price or less)

In my opinion TGIF is one of the best places to go for a drink (esp the LIT - my acid test for any restaurant). The music is usually good (not this time however), the drinks are well made, and as long as you are going there in happy hours, you dont feel looted (okay a little).(The wine was not appreciated however). The appetisers are pretty good as a rule esp. the Friday's Nachos (As an aside, they are better than the ones I had at the Hard Rock Cafe in Berlin which were too salty) , mozzarella sticks, onion rings, chicken fingers (all actually)

Food is overall average, I mean there is nothing that would make you specially wanna come back to TGIF. Desserts are another story - The Chocolate Malted Turtle is the best dessert in Delhi.(Therein lies a poll - which is the best dessert in Delhi (Non Indian)?)

Ambience: TG-iffy = Good
How to get there: Next to MGF Metropolitan Mall

Mudslide is a vanilla and chocolate based cocktail which is also excellent - try it for dessert.
