 AnnCensored-अन्नCensored Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato            View my food journey on Zomato!
What set AnnCensored apart is the mindful concentration on 'Food and It's flavors'  with a motto of 'innovation with exploration'. And just like Farzi Cafe and The Bombay Canteen( from the same Vicinity),  it takes on serving Indian Food with a contemporary twist.

AnnCensored with this two different menu - Censored and AnnCensored gives good options to its guest in all parts of meal. The censored menu is full of original Continental Fine-Dine favorites whereas the Uncensored menu, recreated those dishes with an Indian twist. Another fact is that the dishes from censored menu is served on white plate whereas black ones are used for AnnCensored part.

What all we have tried ?? We only tried AnnCensored menu as the menu is so spread out. A single trip will not do a justice to this place and a second visit is on our list.

We started off with Butter Chicken Croquettes, Beetroot Tikki chat and Malai Mushrooms. All these starters were uniformly stellar. Bonus points to 'butter chicken Croquettes' for its interesting plating on a miniature black cart and we took no time to lick off the tangy 'beet root tikki chat'.
For mains we opted for ' Double Cooked Old Delhi style chicken leg' and   to my surprise, for the first time I Order baingan ki sabzi at a restaurant I.e Ratatouille stuffed baby brinjals in lababdar gravy. 'Double cooked old Delhi style leg' should not to be missed -  perfectly cooked leg pieces in flavourful tomato based sauce that went perfectly with Parathas.
The Creamy orange Cheesecake is another highlight of our dinner. It has a glistering topping of orange puree with a hint of raspberry sauce & crushed biscuits crust. The consistency is lovely and it is a complete surprise to your taste buds.
The bar had some amazing stuff to satiate your fantasies. They are having a wide array of cocktails for you – they mainly had drinks mixed in a fascinating molecular gastronomy way which is a treat to drink as well as to watch.  They have a small  section of ‘Tiki Cocktails – that mix flavored syrup & fresh juices with Rum



Overall a nice concept that provides a blend of Casual and lounge dining experience with its elegant ambiance and playful decor that gives a whole new energy to this place.
