Located in Sector 66, Gurugram, Poiz is an inviting dining destination that combines a vibrant atmosphere with a diverse menu. After three visits, it’s evident that Poiz offers a delightful experience for food enthusiasts and social diners alike, writes PAWAN SONI

It’s rare for me to visit a restaurant multiple times before writing a review, but Poiz, a beautiful new addition to the dining scene, compelled me to return three times to fully capture its essence.

Poiz boasts an artistic, expansive interior, blending elegant indoor seating with a spacious patio featuring its own bar and an inviting open dining area. While many restaurants of this size tend to cater heavily to the nightlife crowd, Poiz strikes a perfect balance: a well-curated bar selection with inventive cocktails for the social set, and a menu that delights families and party goers alike.

Certain dishes have become my go-to orders, each offering something special. The Lychee Chaat, a Thai-inspired creation, is an absolute must-try. Bits of lychee and avocado sit atop a crispy rice puff base, accompanied by a flavourful Nam Jim sauce - one bite, and you won’t want to stop. The Chicken Chilli Dim Sum features a delicate wrapper and pairs perfectly with the accompanying sauces. Another standout is the Taiwanese Mushrooms, crisp-coated and served with pickled chilli and a sweet-sour sauce, accented by crunchy peanuts for extra texture.

Not every dish was flawless. The nachos were slightly too salty for my taste. However, the ramen from their global menu made up for it with its rich, layered flavours. It’s a generous portion, perfect for a hearty appetite or sharing with friends.

My companions thoroughly enjoyed the Lamb Adana Kebab as much as they did the sushi. While Poiz has a wide range of Indian dishes, I found myself drawn to the global offerings, including their expertly crafted Neapolitan pizza.

A meal here would be incomplete without the Belgian Nutella Chocolate. This dessert not only excels in taste but also impresses in presentation. The smooth Belgian chocolate and Nutella sweetness are cleverly balanced with blueberries and hazelnuts, creating a perfect finale.

For those in the area, Poiz is well worth a visit.
