Guess what? I already have a lot in common with Bonobo. The latest arrival on the Mumbai party scene is named after an endangered ape, from the heart of Congo, which has 98% the same DNA as us. Bonobo is perhaps what humans strive to be… (yes - even you!  )

Spread over 2800 sq feet, Bonobo comprises of an indoor area which plays host to the bar as well as an outdoor area, which is the bistro area (amazing view!). It boasts of India’s first interactive bar. What’s that, you might ask? You are free to play the role of bartender to yourself and your friends. Well, they’ve got all the ingredients lined up and you get to make your own drink. For those who do not have the bartending P's and Q's sorted out, the resident mixologist will concoct a drink to suit your taste.
The dining menu showcases the chef’s take on Eurocentric cuisine – from classics like spaghetti carbonara, and wild mushroom-saffron risotto to house specials of Pan Seared Rawas and more. And for dessert they’ve even got the hard to find Banana Toffee pie!
PS: Surely, this place won’t let you down.

Named after one of the oldest, largest and most spirited medieval cities in Morocco, Fez is a fine diner in the heart of Delhi, serving delicious Mediterranean food. The dimly-lit restaurant, tastefully recreates a desert like ambience. Colorful lamps, figurines, mirror and Arabic script on wooden boards give it a Middle Eastern flavor. The low seating, soft music, wood flooring and a warm, amber glow also add to the dining experience.
Fez offers a wide selection of Moroccan food. Like all Mediterranean cuisine, Moroccan food is richly seasoned with herbs that add to the flavor. For starters, the crispy pita bread-salad assortment, vegetarian and non-vegetarian Mezze platter, are simply out of the world.
The Moroccan Vegetables Stew with Cous Cous and Prawns Charmoula are spicy, succulent and ideal picks for the main course. The Chicken Tagine and Falafel are equally delectable.
If you are a weight-watcher then stick with the Seafood. The Saffron Broth and the Smoked Salmon Salata are a good bet. For those who enjoy grilled food, the chicken skewers are a must try! Don’t miss the Tezazki and garlic dips, which are a great accompaniment to the grill food.
While the food is rather filling, make sure you leave some room for the dessert. We’d recommend the Malabiya milk custard thickened with starch and glazed with orange zest and maple syrup. If you are not into experimenting then the Tiramisu and Cinnamon & Rose Petal Ice Cream should give you reason enough to smile!
(No liquor license. Yet!)

Drunken Humor
The drunk was floundering down the alley carrying a box with holes on the side. He bumped into a friend who asked, "What do you have in there, pal?".
"A mongoose."
"What for?"
"Well, you know how drunk I can get. When I get drunk I see snakes, and I'm scared to death of snakes. That's why I got this mongoose, for protection."
"But," the friend said, "you idiot! Those are imaginary snakes."
"That's okay," said the drunk, showing his friend the interior of the box, "So is the mongoose."

Trivia
"The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is commonly believed to be the only English sentence devised to include all the letters of the alphabet.
However, typesetters have another such sentence: "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs."
