The nip in the air is hard to miss. Looking for some fresh air, we arrived at City Cabana housed in the heart of Sector 17, Chandigarh. Though not a huge space, it is located on the rooftop of the Hotel City Heart and offers clear blue skies as a canopy. The patio with a bar has been styled like a lounge and the place also hosts live music during the evening. The outdoor furniture is comfortable and even during the day, there are places under the shade. To add to the ambience are a lot of greens, even though you do not overlook a view. There is a waterbody as well that requires a refill. For a more cosy setting, there’s a cabana too. The staff is courteous and the menus arrive soon. It is all a predictable mix of popular favourites from Indian and Chinese cuisine. You will find the usual like Tandoori starters, Kathi rolls, Chinese starters and main course and a robust selection of Indian dishes too. Not wanting to weigh ourselves down with a heavy meal, we opted for the 'Murg Hyderabadi Biryani' along with 'Dal Tadka', 'Mix Vegetable Raita and a portion of 'Missi Roti'. The weather was breezy on the top floor and with few occupants, it was a treat.
