I stumbled into The Big Chill close to 3 years ago by sheer fate - and a rumbling tummy. I had attended a Reception hosted at one of the Embassies and was served the usual vinegar (that they pass off as wine) and finger food (which is a ’’lah-dee-dah name for snacks but sometimes actually resembles baby fingers!) Now I am a good eater. No, I’m a great eater and some people could term me as a ’’foodie’’. So since I was hungry and it was pretty late, I just went in.


Its firstly the decor that hits you. Its absolutely fantastic.The husband - wife duo who own the place (and are now buddies as I am possibly their most frequent customer) have actually collected a lot of these during their stay in London and then ordered the rest from various poster places. Very very innovative idea and so fresh compared to the regular dimly lit punjabi restaurants that we see in Delhi.


The food: Oh Lordy! The food. Their tomato basil soup is to die for as are a lot of their pastas and pizzas. but the real winner is their desserts. People - TRUST ME - really - if you’re on a diet or need to refrain from sweet - don’t go. The chocolate squidgy cake (my all time favourite) is just divine! Some of my friends are more partial to the ice creams(the chocolate super fudge has been known to break many a diets) and cheese cakes.



I would be blatantly lying if I said that all was well at the Big Chill. The service is very slow in comparison to the throngs of people outside and inside.Although, there’s not much they can do about that.

They now have two branches. The original at East of Kailash and the second one at Khan Market. I personally prefer the EOK one as its closer to home and bigger. The Khan market outlet has limited dishes as they are fairly small.

I do believe they are planning another outlet in Khan Market so there is hope! All in all - go there  - if for nothing else - then go there for the squidgy cake. TRUST ME. You’ll die fatter but oh so much happier! :-)
