OMO Cafe - Soul food in earthy setting

OMO at Galleria Market in Gurgaon  with an earthy and minimalist décor serves some unique vegetarian fare with interesting ingredients sourced from various parts of India. Would definitely recommend the coffee ☕ here beans for which have been sourced from Nagaland. The service is quite good with the staff patiently explaining to you the food and its ingredients in case like me, you do not get an idea about what to order.

Bright Hospitality, founded by Rajan Sethi is famous for its non vegetarian fare. Across their brands, from the now closed California Boulevard, AM PM Cafe and Bar, Ikk Punjab and GT Road they have served great meat dishes (the veg is good at their outlets but meats are legendary). I was therefore surprised to hear that Rajan and his wife Deepika had now worked up a new eatery dedicated to quality vegetarian food. My curiosity led me to this beautiful OMO Cafe for dinner with family. 



The coffee beans 🫘 are from Nagaland and they brew some good and strong coffee. 

The outlet is located at DLF Galleria in DLF Phase 4 Gurgaon, vertically opposite to AMPM Cafe, which belongs to the same promoter family. I have heard a lot about curated menus for Sunday brunches at OMO which they plan by sourcing unique and fresh ingredients for their patrons. The ambience here is minimalist with lots of wood and greenery around. The kitchen and the cafe are all open, giving the patrons a sneak tease or their food being prepared. 

The ingredients and the food is not complex but the terms can be New to many folks like me. Here the staff was really helpful including Deepa and Hritanshu who not helped patiently explain the dishes but also helped with wise choices of food for the table.

Desserts

We wanted to give the Tiramisu a try, given that their coffee tasted so good and the Ngarum Tiramisu promised some dark roast coffee in it. But it was not available and instead we tried the 'A true cheesecake', which was fantastic with a slight hint of olive oil in its base.




I would recommend this place as a great hangout for conversations. The ambience and food just encourages conversation and this is one of the eateries where you can sit for hours and just talk or eat in peace. 

Price for two people - Rs 2,000
Timings - 12 noon – 12 am

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Inside Congress by Ronald Kessler: power, perks, and peril on Capitol Hill

This critical review of Inside Congress by Ronald Kessler reveals the shocking truth behind Capitol Hill's glitzy surface. Featuring real quotes, scandals, and systemic corruption, this article dissects the book’s revelations with historical, social, and political context. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about America’s lawmakers. What is ‘Inside Congress’ about? Reading Inside Congress felt like sneaking into a backstage political theatre—only to realise that the actors were drunk, corrupt, and having affairs with the ushers. Ronald Kessler doesn’t just pull the curtain back on Congress—he rips it off, throws it on the floor, and sets it on fire. At its core, the book is a catalogue of misconduct, but it’s more than that. It’s a raw, unnerving look at a system so infected by self-interest and sleaze that the word “democracy” starts to feel like a punchline. The book spans sexual escapades, financial corruption, and outright betrayal of public trust. But th...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
