I know I haven't done this in a while, I kept telling myself "I'll write a post this weekend" and here we are, a year later.  Anyway, lets get into it!

So, where did I go after a year long hiatus? Somewhere expensive? Somewhere fancy? The short answer? None of those. We went to Pizza Den, a place that prioritises cheap, filling food over ambience but you know what? That's perfectly ok. 

Not every dining experience has to be upmarket with fancy table pieces, mood lighting and prices that'll bankrupt a small country. Sometimes, it's ok to want to gorge yourself on comfort food and not be judged by the staff. 

As I mentioned earlier, Pizza Den is not the sort of place where you go for the experience - the waiters are dressed casually and don't interact much with you. They'll hand you a menu and saunter over when you signal that you're ready to place your order. The seats were comfortable, even if the fabric was badly torn. My age old complaint of sofas and tables still stands true though, while they're comfy to sit on while you wait for your food, and believe me, you'll be waiting a fair amount of time, they're not the best when you're trying to eat. 

We ordered 3 items - a chicken and cheese sandwich, a pizza and a platter of momos. The sandwich was grilled and served with a side of chips. The only thing I'd change would be the quantity. I'd have liked for a bigger serving. 

Our main course was a pizza called "Chicken I like you" and we opted for the cheese burst option. Despite the awkward name, I did end up liking the pizza - it was nice and heavy (always good when you're looking to stuff yourself) and full of flavour. The crust wasn't overly crispy, which is a welcome change from some of the pizzas I've had.  

The final dish we had was the platter of momos. This was definitely a let down compared to the rest of our meal for a few reasons. My first problem with them was the flavour. They left a strange aftertaste in my mouth, something I've never experienced before. My second problem was the sauce situation. If you're going to serve 2 sauces, please, for the love of god serve them in two dishes. Don't just dump both in a single bowl and serve it that way! How is this ok? On top of that, they spilt sauce on top of half the momos so if you're not a fan of the dipping sauce, you're stuck with spicy food that you're not going to enjoy. 

Thankfully, you don't have to go too far if you're in the mood for some cheese covered goodness - I took an Ola and the amount for one way was just under 120 rupees. The food itself was also cheap - we spent less than 300 per person, making pizza den a budget friendly option. 

If you're the sort of person who puts a lot of weight into waiters standing at the sidelines, ready to spring into action at your every whim, Pizza Den is not the place for you. Mind you, for what they charge, you really shouldn't expect that either.  However, if you've just bombed an exam or you're short on money, there are certainly worse ways you could cheer yourself up.
