Spirit - Laying the Spirit of Valentine.

The place we finally decided to go to on the Big Luver's Day is Spirit which is in the Inner Circle in the C Block in CP.

I got impressed with the service of Spirit before I even entered the place. They called me 5 mins after the reserved time to know whether I'd be on time. The first any restaurant has done so far after I've landed in Delhi.

I was even more impressed with the place after I entered it. The place was dimly-lit with only candles with lots of red balloons floating around the place. And we got a very private table.

They first started out with serving us with sparkling wine which was really fine to the palate. Not to strong, nor to light. Just right for the occasion.

The second course was a platter of Lebanese appetizers consisting of hummus, baklava and two other things whose names I'm yet to find out. And it was really good. It's been a long time since I've tasted Arabic Food and this was definitely worth the wait.

The next course was a  chicken-rice based dish whose name now eludes me. I, for the life of me, can't seem to remember the name. I should've written it down somewhere. Anyway....it was also really appetizing, something I hadn't tasted in my whole life. The meat, succulent and juicy had a lil' gravy to it. The rice well made. The rice-chicken combination complemented each other well. The serving was just right, not too much to overeat nor too little to be left wanting for more.

The third and last course was dessert which consisted of a slice of chocolate cake and a slice of cream pie. The chocolate cake was a lil' too high on the chocolate, but worth a bite. The pie was excellent though....smooth and creamy. That was one thing I was left wanting for more. I've always had a soft corner for cream pies, especially the creamcheese pies. And this was really good.

Spirit was worth every penny I spent. The ambience romantic, the service excellent, the food out of the world. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back for a regular dinner someday.
