The Turkey Project- Where Passion meets Palate


 The new casual American-Italian hot spot, located in Defence Colony, reflects the exuberance and  raring-to-go vibe of the young twenty something Chef at the helm. No wonder then straight from the ambience to the food, it has a refreshing effect, and you are drawn into over indulging the child within.

With wood finish, straight lines and greenery by way of potted plants and vine creepers, you are enveloped in a warm, easy-going bonhomie. A perfect environment to catch up with friends or bond with family away from the rut.

Chef Kabir Chugh says, "I like to experiment and recreate the universal favourites, however everything has got to be tasty and done right, I was fed up of eating in dark dingy places food I could not really make out, served in toy trains and what not. Here you'd get a hot dog or a pizza just how it is supposed to be, with all the flavours minus any fuss."

The Turkey, bacon and ham pizza had me devouring it. On the menu, you'd find it under the name "The tur(n)key Project NV". To wash it down I had a "cold brewed lemon mint ice tea". Not many would know, the cold brew variation made with cold water rather than hot is far healthier and tasty.

The pains taken over every single menu offering is more than apparent.

 Given the paucity of breakfast joints in Delhi, they have a special Breakfast menu as well and have opened their doors to welcome guests for the most important meal of the day on weekends, time being. You could try an Eggs Benedict with a tall glass of creamy cold coffee or fresh pressed juice to slump into the Sunday mood. The Eggs Benedict looked and tasted just as great, with the hollandaise sauce on top of freshly baked bread, sprinkled with some cajun spice and mushrooms.


And here is some more good news- The easy diner couples into a Sangria bar. To bond better with your circle of friends or just celebrate the good things of Life with loved ones a la My Big Fat Greek Wedding, you could roll in here for a sangria session. Here's raising a toast to a welcome "Project"!

Venue: Moolchand complex, Defence Colony

Goa Church Legacy

Goa Churches attract tourists but have lost some of their old glory! Goa as we know has a history of Portuguese rule and the churches that imbue the city are a reflection of a time gone by. The Portuguese were in Goa for about 450 years right up to 1961 and the influence is so visible through not just the food and culture but the eye-catching, high standing churches and the freshly whitewashed looking sign of cross that one often sights along the way, especially in the interiors. Ofcourse the Basilica of Bom Jesus in distinct Renaissance baroque architecture is the most revered and recognised by UNESCO that accorded it the status of a World Heritage Site. It has the embalmed mortal remains of St Francis Xavier and also houses beautiful art works of Biblical times. While it has become a major tourist attraction over the years it no more holds a Portuguese service. Majority churches in Goa now have Konkani as the main language in their service apart from English. However the imposing...

India Art Fair 2026- Art with a Soul!

Image
From leading South Asian and international galleries to pioneering institutions and dynamic, experimental spaces, India Art Fair 2026 brought together a constellation of voices shaping South Asia’s artistic landscape.   This year, the fair once again showcased the region’s creative energy, and went beyond geographical boundaries to create a deeper and more nuanced encounter with noble ideas, original practices and unique perspectives. The Qutab Minar from 'Monuments' by Samiksha Singh   What was striking was the mixed media used to create a thought or message, pushing the boundaries some more. Take for example artist Samiksha Singh’s ‘Monuments’, which was on display. It features intricate thread work and speaks of the connection between architecture and the longevity of ideas. A column from Qutab Minar Complex that had people awestruck standing around it at any point of time, made by carefully threading copper zari onto soluble fabric, dissolving its base and leaving a de...

Band Baaja and Wine (Maldova travelogue that appeared in TOI Crest in 2013)

On choosing a holiday destination like Moldova, you are first met with quizzical glances followed by wild guesses as to where could it be.   Not on the average traveler's radar, Moldova is sandwiched between Romania and Ukraine with its culture and traditions treading between Russian and Italian. The aerial view one gets just before landing is a large oasis of greenery interspersed with water bodies.     Moldova’s main natural resources being soil and sunshine, it was the agricultural basket of the Soviet Union. Lush with plantations, its agrarian culture dominates the countryside. On your drive a common sight would be miles of giant sunflowers and grape vines, walnut trees flanking the road with meadows stretching into the horizon and meandering rivers. The undulating terrain is ideal for different crops and this medley absorbs you in its natural beauty with an odd Lada passing by, the only car in erstwhile Soviet bloc countries. But the most interesting sight is the m...
