A Visit to the All New Fat Lulu's Bar and Pizzeria in Gurgaon

Last month I was invited to a bloggers table at the all new Fat Lulu's Bar and Pizzeria in Cross Point Mall Gurgaon. I have been meaning to visit this property since its launch in July 2014.

Brainchild of popular restaurateurs Deepak Datwani and Monika Batra, Fat Lulu's is the perfect place to enjoy live acoustic music and fresh brews while savoring sumptuous Italian food like hand rolled thin crust wood-fired oven pizzas, homemade ravioli and tortellini, etc.

The kitchen is in the capable hands of Chef Amit Kaintura who comes with over 16 years of F&B experience, having worked for reputed brands like Olive Bar and Kitchen, Spaghetti Kitchen in Select Citywalk Mall, and many more.
