Rahul's Post

I have always been suspicious of restaurants that hand you a menu and expect you to be grateful for it. Twelve pasta dishes, take your pick, eat what the chef has decided you should eat. It is a perfectly reasonable way to run a kitchen, except that it assumes the customer has no opinions of his own, which in my experience is rarely true, and certainly never true of me. So when I walked into Pasta On The Go, tucked away in Punjabi Bagh, and was told that I would be building my own bowl from scratch, I felt something close to relief. Finally, a place that understood that your bowl should run on your rules, not the chef's. The concept is disarmingly simple, which is usually the sign of an idea that took longer to perfect than its makers will admit. You start with the pasta. Then you choose your sauce. Then come the toppings, one by one, until what sits before you is not something the kitchen decided to make, but something you decided to eat. It is, if you think about it, the most honest way to serve pasta. Why should you settle for one menu item when an entire bowl of possibilities is yours to assemble? What struck me most was that this freedom never came at the cost of quality. The pasta itself was cooked with the kind of care that suggests the kitchen has not let novelty distract it from fundamentals, fresh, properly textured, the sort of base that holds up no matter what you pile on top of it. And the combinations on offer, the pairings of sauce and topping that the place seems to have quietly perfected, are good enough that even the indecisive among us would do well simply trusting their instincts. In the end, what Pasta On The Go offers is not really a gimmick. It is comfort food, custom-made, the kind of meal that feels like it was made for you because, quite literally, it was. So if you are in Punjabi Bagh and in the mood for a bowl that answers to nobody but you, go build your dream pasta bowl. I suspect, like me, you will not want to go back to being told what to eat.
