After an overnight flight to Delhi, India I was in need of some comfort before doing the real adventuring. I wanted a nice clean hotel and some nice clean Indian food that wouldn't make me sick on the first day of my trip. I'll leave the adventurous street food rallies for later in the trip.
The perfect place for me seemed to be the Aerocity hospitality and entertainment district which is connected to Delhi Airport by the airport metro line.
It wasn't quite what I thought it was going to be. I had imagined it would be similar to some of the massive mall / entertainment / hotel areas in Bangkok where you take the metro or SkyTrain and are right into areas with 5 star hotels, luxury malls and endless amounts of food options.
Getting out of the metro station I was faced with a massive construction site that I had to walk around to get into the Aerocity which just looked like hotels and office buildings. Everything is modern and sparkling clean but there wasn't much interesting stuff going on. I didn't see any sign of a mall on my first look around but the concierge in my hotel gave me directions to some underground area.
It was just one department store and a food court which had half western food like Subway and Pizza Hut and half local foods. There were other spaces for shops but they were just empty shells. It seems that this area is very much a work in progress.
So I was very underwhelmed with the area and would definitely skip it on future trips to Delhi. I did however have an amazing Mutton Korma from the food court. Amazingly delicious and amazingly delicious. I always struggle when they give me meat on the bone in India with something like a plastic or wooden disposable spoon that I'm supposed to use to carve the meat off. It's a choice between struggling with that and making a mess or just picking it up with my hand and making a mess.
