When out on a casual night out and when one is hoping not to spend too much on a "just hanging out" evening, Castle 9 in CP is usually where Delhi-ites head. Erm...so, not really. Now it's an ideal place for couples looking to be left alone and a those stretching their pocket money/salary.
So when my friends and I braved the slightly spooky approach to Castle 9 and found ourselves in Knight Riders (by Castle 9, written right under the sign). Anywho, we went in and saw that the decor was a great improvement, the DJ was playing music that was more dancable than what the nightclubs in Delhi usually play and each table had the menu card as the table mat. Yup, nothing like manu/table mats to bring the whole place fall on its nose.
So lets face the facts, average places = average drinks. The Big Ben (gin, vodka, and tequila in OJ) I ordered for was, well, strictly OK. When it comes to drinks, keep the experimentations for someother place, stick to the basic and do not waste a glace on mocktails and cocktails.
When it comes to the accompanying snacks, I am glad to say that it was a whole lot better than the cocktail I was having trouble sipping. Kung Chao Chicken was fairly good, Chilli Bomb was completely avoidable, but do try the Cottage Chilli Cheese. That was the only great part of the eats and drinks that evening. Another thing worth trying was the potato chips with cheese dressing. Handsliced potato wafers were really good and were great with cheese (though I did painstakingly scoop away the cheese dressing later because I am not a great fan of cheese).
There are no particular ratings for this joint just because it was very average AND, as we later realised, was not so inexpensive either. :(
Please avoid Knight Riders unless, of course, you are a pair of lovebirds looking for a place to hangout without pairs of prying eyes staring at you or are bunking college.
