Sazerac, New Delhi

 

In the somnolent market of Sundarnagar, Sazerac is the newest restaurant. There are just two other restaurants in the neighbourhood, so it is quite big news. What is even bigger news is that it serves modern American food– not a cuisine that has ever been done in Delhi, and no, we're not referring to just burgers and Po'Boys! Everything from the US of A is always welcome in Delhi and the tiny restaurant on the first floor (no lift) has become extremely popular from day one.

Their all-day breakfasts are gargantuan feasts of pancakes, waffles, eggs Benedict or the quintessentially American bagels and lox. All-day breakfasts are a thing now, but you do have to give it to Sazerac: because American food is their concept, their breakfasts have a far wider range because of sheer variety (Jewish deli, New York style all the way to Southern lobster rolls). Expectedly, their ribs are great: the quality of the meat as well as the preparation. We must mention how eminently suitable Sazerac is for a quiet afternoon with a friend or two, off meal times. You can share a pizza that has neither cheese nor tomato and is hand tossed rather than rolled. Topped with mushroom tapenade and doused with truffle oil, it is yet another indication, if any were required, of how versatile the pizza is. The management tells us that nearly everybody mentions that they would like to order Peanut Butter and Dense Chocolate Mousse as their dessert at the time of making their reservation!
