Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake ~ Henry David Thoreau

There are few who dare to dream, fewer who take a plunge to realize their dreams, and even fewer who are able to dream, dare and realize their dreams.

Leon Baker, is one such rare individual who quit his well-paid ‘Vice President’ job to follow his passion. Making a modest beginning by starting an Ahata (BYOB concept) under his own name – Leon’s in a popular and overcrowded category in Gurgaon; Leon’s immediately got popular with ardent fan followers. Following his heart, live rock music was introduced at Leon’s (as per him he wanted to relive his childhood experiences of music from Guwahati). Despite a rocking success, Leon’s was sold since he realised that girls in North India do not want to be seen in a roadside Ahata and his aim was to get people of both gender together for a good time.

   

This gave birth to Bahi (Assamese word for bamboo flute) in a new swanky pub in Gurgaon where he combined his love for music and Assamese food. Outlet’s motto - “Bahi is the place where people come to relive the life they have forgotten, and there are no strangers at Bahi but just friends who haven’t met” may sound may sound cliché but the honesty in Leon’s words not only reflect clearly in his eyes but in his efforts and actions.

Culture Gully, Kingdom of Dreams, Gurgaon

[Rated: 5/5] for complete family experience
Spectacular! Probably the closest word that can truly describe the grandeur and detailing that has gone into bringing out this beautiful kingdom which so far which could only be dreamt of. The Kingdom of Dreams is not a restaurant but a union of wholesome family entertainment including shopping and cuisines from all over India.

As I entered the Kingdom of Dreams with my wife and kids, I felt an all pervading sense of peace.

Dimsum Bros, Ambience Mall, Gurgaon

[Rated: 5/5]
The concept at Dimsum Bros. is brilliant and executed with loads of passion, energy and research. It is a 78-seater restaurant offering 37 varieties of steamed, baked, shallow and pan-fried dim sum served with complementary green tea. After each dish I and my companion would look at each other and silently convey the depth of taste we were both experiencing. The beautiful presentation of dim sum in Radish, Bunny (popularly called play boy) and Pear shapes among others made them look even more appealing. There were options galore, but unfortunately our XXXL sized tummies did not allow us to taste them all in spite of wanting to.

Gung, Gurgaon

[Rated: 5/5]

Acknowledged. I am not an authority in Korean cuisine. But I still wanted to write about my experience at Gung, the Korean restaurant. Two reasons – One I Could not find any earlier review of this place on the net through which I could get an idea of the food and ambiance of Gung, and Secondly, I believe most of the people who will read this review would be experimenting with Korean food for the first time and they would like to read the review from the eyes of a person who (like them) is an amateur in this cuisine.


Gung (pronounced ‘goong’) is an experience in itself. No sooner you enter the restaurant you are awed by the beautiful décor which is done in traditional Korean setting which oozes elegance. The words can not do justice to convey the efforts that have gone behind putting up this beautiful place, hence do have a look at the enclosed pictures. As they say, picture is worth a 1000 words. Gung, Gurgaon has a huge cover of over 200 guests with area demarcated for private dining rooms, kids play room and 2 Karaoke rooms. On a Thursday, Gung was already full with Koreans, Japanese and Indian guests by 8pm. The private cabin has the traditional style of seating on the floor
