    Worst food ever tried. Dal ordered look liked as if we ordered masala oats. Pasta was so bad that, you can never have this pathetic item ever. Drinks were so bad you have to asked to get it replaced again and again.

    Great place to hangout with your friends. Pocket friendly prices. Yummy food with a lot of variety of snacks. The ambience is also very nice with good quality live music. Lots of DJ's keep coming here to play every week.

    The first happening place I hopped on after shifting to Gurgaon.. Amazing ambience and crowd.. Nice system of BYOB (of course from nearby liquor shop only).. Food options can be enhanced a bit.. But a must visit place for friends to hang out!! DJs plays rapchik and relevant tracks suited to events.. Keep rocking TFR!

    Really cool ambience, and the adjoining liquor shop usually has good stock. Among the rare places where you can find bottles like Jack Daniels Honey relatively easily. The food is really good, I usually order their roasted chicken. Menu is reasonably priced, and the quantity is ample too. It is surprisingly large after entering, and has a good seating capacity. Also safe for women, from what I could tell, so you can bring the entire gang over too. They have a projector in place for matches and the sort, and usually a DJ playing too in case you want to dance.

    #ReviewsByAditti 26.04.2018 If places were clothes, Delhi could be the Hugo Boss clad big bro and Gurgaon, the sometimes Diesel/sometimes Levi clad "new in business but arrived nonetheless" younger brother ... So for all the swanky, glitzy, ritzy pubs and restaurants of Delhi, Gurgaon has the one of a kind Cyber Hub and Horizon Center... both exuding remarkable vim and verve... ... but then some days you want none of that !!! Some days one yearns to feel at home.. ... not necessarily AT home 😀 So that's where steps in a stellar concept of BYOB's/Ahatas, regaling the crowds of Gurgaon for ever so long now.. my first visit to one was in 2013 I think!!! So what's an Ahata really ? ... on the up and up it's a cost effective option where you can enjoy a drink with your friends minus the fare of a flashy pub... ... and still enjoy a happy evening. Amidst the so many options that line the streets of Gurgaon, #TheFriendsRepublic, the one I am talking about is a "me too" too..? Yes!! Bring your own Bottle ..? Yes !! Ahata..? Yes !!! So what makes this a standout when my choices abound... all within 5 kms of where I live.. This one to me is not just any other BYOB... .. to me it's a "Be Your Own Boss" kinda place... The place has an indoor/outdoor seating plus a covered terrace seating as well.... I witnessed the best fun crowd this side of town.. on a Wednesday evening... in the heart of the week, .. the place had people stepping in droves... the place was packed to the gills !!! I was also kinda relieved to see that there was a good number of women, some in all women groups too, having a ball..!! It felt safe, very safe. And yes they play very nice music.. it was a Sufi night yesterday and it was difficult not to pay attention to what the inhouse DJ was dishing out... Food is moderately priced and delicious.. actually no.. I think their food is better than a lot of other places... Of the three things that we ordered, the Chilli Chicken and the Mutton Barra were high on flavours and spice... loved both equally !! .. but the fish fingers could have been better.. the only thing I didn't enjoy yday .. At a cover charge of 500/- per head, a meal for two cost us 1415/- The drinks shop next to it has one of the better collection of premium alcohol ..and there is a cute Paan King outside as well!! The service staff is friendly but could work on being a bit more efficient while presenting the bill .. 😀 The place, high on activity, is noticeable from the main road itself. Kudos to Pankaj Bhatia/Ankush Kapahi/Neeraj Ruhil for they are doing a mighty good job with this one.. You cannot miss #TFR on Golf Course Extension Road.. btw they have another one close to Subhash Chowk I am told... as buzzing as this one.. It's time to celebrate Gurgaon... ... grab a much earned drink and a pocket easy bite and savour our evenings with like minded people.. ... because these are places which are best enjoyed in groups!!

    A decent place for evening outs. The place is open air so make sure you go on a good weather day or in winters. The view of high-rise will keep inspiring you. The food is good to go but slightly highly priced but the prompt service and ambience covers it up. It's right in the middle to Phase 5, opposite paras hospital next to GTown warehouse so you can buy your booze and take it in. They charge Rs500 as cover charger. A must try on a busy day.

    It's a nice place for BYOB in Gurgaon. But the crowd is average. Also, very loud downstairs. For people who love all that, it's great for them. But I always prefer their first floor. Food wise I like their pizzas. Rest is ok. Service can get slow due to crowd.

  • 5/5 Geetika W. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, great drinks and amazing music, this is what TFR is synonymous with. The crowd is great and ambience just adds to all the other worldly pleasures!

  • 5/5 Keshav V. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is quite literally open to everyone. I saw couples on dates, friend groups and families all enjoying their food and beverages, music and dancing (and match screenings). The food was satisfactory. Service wasn't too slow, considering the number of people present. And there's a liquor store right outside and a BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze) policy inside. All in all, a good place to hang out with one and all :)

  • 3/5 Sakshi S. 1 year ago on Google
    There is no seating. And the staff here is outright rude but given the rush, I am assuming that happens naturally. However, still.. Not someplace that would be my first choice. Went here with on a Friday evening and well... We did ask before entering if we could get a table but we were standing there looking for one for more than 20 mins. Before we had to beg ppl to help us with the table. Like really beg. While the guy already took hard cash on entrance 500 per person. The ambiance is not so bad. Like on a pleasant/cold evening it would really be worth it. But otherwise. Nah. Food is ok. Not so bad not so good.

    For some reasons we were not allowed in as I'm a black girl with an Indian boyfriend. The guys at gate were somewhat rude and told us no entry. Though I have been here before and it was good but I don't understand the recent racism. Please fix that.

  • 4/5 Kapil R. 2 years ago on Google
    The place allows you to get your own booze. Lot of open space. Good meeting joint for a friendly reunion. Food is decent but the service is tad slow. Definitely can visit again. Recommended for visit

  • 5/5 Dhiraj S. 2 years ago on Google
    I have been visiting this place since the last few years and I can say without a doubt it's the best BYOB in gurgaon. Food is great and service is fast even on rush hours. They have different DJ on different days, the Friday night one is the best among all. Loved the simplicity of ambience. The place is best except when it's raining.

  • 3/5 Hitesh J. 7 years ago on Google
    Food is good, which it should because of the price they are charging. It's a BYOB(Bring your own booze), which is good. Service is damn slow, due to mismanagement between the expeditors and the servers. Crowd is good(usually 9-5ers, middle and upper middle class) people looking for a moderate place to get drunk and enjoy. Overall a nice place to hangout, get drunk, enjoy and have good food. But be ready to pay a bit more than usual and wait quite a bit longer for your order. Would want to rate 3 and a half. Note: Make sure you reserve a table before hand. As getting it on the spot might not be possible.
