The Big Yellow Door A.K.A "BYD"

Delhi’s June summer heat is a bang on when it comes to testing patience of Indian citizens. Meanwhile what would not draw your attention when while walking on the streets of Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar lanes, you suddenly have a splash of water on your face from the big cooler outside a big yellow door in the scorching sun?

Big Yellow Door, the name I have seen a plenty of time while checking-in on my facebook friends timeline and they all being chirpy about it. Untill I paid a visit, I couldn’t really make out what the hullabaloo was all about?

It was my dear friend who was so stern about us having a lunch there that I happened to visit it. Seeing the waiting outside the narrow bylanes of GTB Market, I gave up and asked him if we could go somewhere else. We actually went somewhere else in order to avoid us a long wait until within 10 minutes the waiter called to tell us that our table was ready.

When I entered the place it was not the walls that drew my attention but the long wood bar chairs that did. The menu was a smaller version of shape of the big yellow door that actually was again made of wood. My friend is a die-hard cheese lover. So it was not very long before he uttered a white sauce pasta, big cheese nachos along with a kit-kat shake and a green-apple mojito. When the food arrived it was actually hell-dripping white sauce pasta and overwhelming cheese dipped nachos that boggled me. The sippers were equally cool as you never want to miss onto kit-kat crushers flowing into your straw and relieving you of all the silly world stress. The mint in the mojito goes a long way to rejuvenate a whole new energy to beat the challenge called  the heat.

Despite being a hard-core cheese lover, me and hogger friend could not finish the oh-so-economic- pasta and came onto the remaining bits of nachos with a tangy fresh tomato-onion dip that came along.

At most cafes that I have been to and ordered mocktails or shakes with friends, its always the case that atleast one is a spoiler and nobody wishes to have it and it is finished just because you have money flowing-out of your pocket, but BYD surprised me.

The waiter came along with our check and an empty-sticky note plus pen to have our thoughts.

I hope to see my sticky note on their massive walls with doodles someday asap.

We signed off with smiles and walked on with contentment

We are Zickpea.
