A strange thing about me to which most of the people just get surprised or shocked is that I don’t do lunch at office. Yes, it is true and there is no specific reason behind it, its not the part of any diet plan or anything like that. It is just I don’t feel like having lunch at office. I do enjoy food and in all of my circles, I am known for having a good quantity of food but maybe people don’t get this that I enjoy food and it all depends on the atmosphere and the environment. But when it is about any party or treat from my close colleagues, I am always up for it.
From last month every Friday, we are having lunch outside. For Friday prayers, I used to go to nearby Mosque with IT team biker boys lol after Friday prayers, one day they said that none of them brought lunch so, will hit some nearby restaurant for the same. I was with them so I became the part of it too. After that, it become the routine for every Friday. Even we debate and discuss on it that where we are going for lunch on coming Friday, we need to hit some new and good restaurants nearby as our office recently relocated there.
For last Friday lunch, once again we had a lot of discussion and arguments and finally they agreed with me to have some curry with Naan (bread), no rice dish as most of us are very fond of Biryani (rice dish). We all confirmed and agreed for Noman Restaurant, where we had lunch before but they have many more dishes to offer so it would be nice to try some other dishes.
Its an industrial area and a huge crowd hit restaurants after Friday prayers, in comparison to others, Noman Restaurant offer good space to sit, relax and have a good lunch. Their prices are reasonable, not expensive, very much affordable and food quality is good too.
We were six and ordered three curry dishes. I don’t keep my cell phone with me in prayers but I used my colleague’s cell phone Tecno Camon 18T to take some pictures of this restaurant and the lunch. Hive is in mind everytime where I go, always wanted to share things in here with Hivians. I missed to take pictures of my last visit and lunch but don’t wanna miss it again so here I am sharing my Friday lunch experience with some pictures.
We ordered Chicken Qeema, Chicken Qorma and Chicken Karahi with Jumbo soft drink and my best thing NAANS, love of my life lol. Everything was superb as expected but just one thing which bugged me, Chicken Karahi’s taste was not of Karahi, it was more of Achar gosht, a different dish. But still it was good, a good atmosphere and nice environment. We have to take coupons of these by paying at the counter then hand over those coupons to the waiter who gets you served, that is the mechanism there. This is the reason they are dealing so many people at a time. First pay then eat, good system to control business without having much loss.
This is all from last Friday, will get back with some other tasty dishes next week. Till then take care and have a nice week ahead!!!
I visited the community, all the curated posts gave a feeling that this community is about recipes and preparing food and not discussing eating. Please confirm from someone is that is correct, and post in communities where your content is right for the audience. Thanks!
After reading the community introduction and rules, I have come to the conclusion that this is a foodie community. I also write frequently in this community. "We all know what foodie means". A foodie is someone who enjoys good food and cooking. They are generally knowledgeable about different types of foods and ingredients and like to try new things. For a foodie, the dining experience is as important as the actual food. This may mean enjoying the atmosphere of a restaurant, admiring the presentation of a dish, or simply savoring a fine meal. For some, being a foodie is more than just enjoying good food – it's a lifestyle. They can spend their free time going to farmers markets, trying new recipes, or eating out at restaurants. They can even travel to different parts of the world in search of unique culinary experiences. Be it a gourmet meal or a simple breakfast, foodies enjoy everything they eat.
Nevertheless I would like to say that this blog could have been written in Pinmapple or Weekend Experience. Because in it I got to read more content about location and personal experience than food and food pictures.
In the end, I will say that @rosecane you have written the best. (Had to give a compliment being your big brother and to cover the above suggestions 🤪)
I will come to a conclusion after hearing from a mod too or I will get my shovel to read on chain comments of mods.
Thanks for your detailed reply. Good to see u being active again.
well, maybe you are right because I was thinking to post it in Pinmapple community but then I finally made my mind for Foodies one.
I have duly read the about and description of Foodies Bee Hive community and we can share our food delights, stories enjoying the food and sharing our food experiences. I think this was the right community for sharing my last Friday lunch.
Thank you for the advice as we all know, you want all of us to grow and do better, still if you have any other point on this, do let me know so we can improve or adjust things where needed 👌
I understand your and mine dilemma on this topic, we will see if I can quote a mod about recipes should be included. Otherwise u r right.
The good thing is, it will be a one time dilemma for Pakistani community. Once we know the right answer, we can be 100% sure next time.
yeah absolutely, this will be good for all of us to know more and choosing correct community 👍
