After an absence of several weeks from CP, the Capital's first "desi'' pizza place Nirula's is back in an improved new avatar. It has moved to Connaught Place K-Block, but the offerings are inviting as ever.
Many people's idea of "a perfect outing", Nirula's has been quietly serving comfort food for generations of Delhites who grew up at a time before every street corner shop had chocolate fudge and cookies on offer. The first destination of college students celebrating the end of their examinations or mourning the lack of romance or savouring the joy of actually finding some, Nirula's is an institution. And for many Dilliwallahs, a trip to Nirula's has always been a special occasion. It was the place where most youngsters were introduced to non-home-made pizzas, big burgers and foot-longs. Nirula's sticky hot-chocolate fudge -- their signature dish -- has become part of the cuisine the city is famous for. The only place that had 21 flavours of ice cream -- a big number before Italian gelatos made an appearance -- Nirula's were an integral part of growing up in Delhi.
Full of memories of significant birthdays, long drives with parents and extended family, Sunday trips with friends, Nirula's in CP was a vastly popular landmark. However, like the changes around, Nirula's too has changed now catering to a new generation of kids who have grown up with junk food. With Navis Capital Partners and Samir Kuckreja acquiring the Nirula's group of companies this year from the original Nirula's family, the hangout has acquired a new look. To inaugurate it, Nirula's brought in Bollywood actress Amrita Arora on Thursday — Mandira Nayar [source by:hindu.com]

Amrita made her Bollywood debut opposite Fardeen Khan in flop film Kitne Door Kitne Paas.

The hazel eyed beauty courted controversy much before her first release. Rumors linked her to a crop of stars, from crooner Kamal Khan to Fardeen Khan and Salman Khan. Recently, she made news when her controversial flick Girlfriend opposite Isha Koppikar got released.

Her forthcoming movies include Sharth opposite Tusshar Kapoor, Mahesh Manjrekar's Rakht, Deh and a Telegu film, to be directed by Teja.
