Laidback Cafe - M3M International Financial Center — Restaurant in Gurugram District

Laidback Cafe in IFC Gurgaon offers a pleasant dining experience with its unique dual menu – Indian and international. The ambiance is casual and relaxed, making it an ideal spot for both foodies and those looking to unwind. The cafe has a designated indoor space for smoking and drinking, which is a nice touch for those who want to enjoy their meal with a drink in hand, though children are not allowed in this area.

The service is commendable, with the staff being polite and attentive. We opted for dishes from the international menu, starting with the Chicken Masala Dim Sum, which was absolutely outstanding. The delicate flavors and perfect balance of spices made it a memorable dish. We also tried the Lebanese Prawns, but the dish didn’t quite meet our expectations. While the prawns were cooked well, the generous amount of cream on top overshadowed the other flavors, and it felt a bit too heavy for our liking.

They were crispy, but they had a flavour that stung. And the dip too was weird. Tasted like a combination of thousand island and harissa, but not authentic. The only saving grace was the chicken steak in red wine sauce. They graciously replaced the rice with mashed potatoes though. Rating for...

Must have : shalom vegetarian mezze platter, grilled chicken in cream onion sauce

Ordered : edamame truffle oil and cheese dim sums, hakka noodles, mulled wine ( the feedback for the mulled wine was great, i personally do not enjoy it)

The ambiance and decor of the place is nice and relaxed. When we went the service was really good, the staff was attentive. There was confusion at the time of billing which did affect the overall experience.

Having said that the standout by far was the shalom vegetarian mezze platter. It is by far one of the best and most expansive platters I have eaten at any restaurant in Delhi NCR. A definate must...
