Go ga ga in Gurgaon: Galaxy Lifestyle Centre

If you’ve had enough weekends on earth, spend a leisurely day on a different galaxy. A world apart from the usual malls and multiplexes dotting Gurgaon, Galaxy Lifestyle Centre is all about chilling, shopping and gorging to your heart’s content. Here’s the deal.

The Look
Galaxy’s ambience is all stars and planets with dim lighting, circular architecture and bizarre shapes. Pretend this is an extra-terrestrial hangout!

Variety fare
Wine n’ dine
Call and reserve a table before you arrive at The Monk, a highly evolved noodle bar. A unique al-fresco seating and a live kitchen are what this pan-Asian restaurant boasts of. Choose between the noodles and sticky rice bowls (Japanese style), meals in themselves, and have them with the finger-licking sauces. For health freaks there is the soba (whole wheat) noodle.

If you enjoy continental or Indian fare, just shift base to The Axis, right next door. You could choose between the soup-salad-dessert buffet or go the whole hog and include grills, pastas and curries in your meal. The a la carte menu is equally delicious. Lamb chops are outstanding and so are the pastas. Smother your sweet tooth with mini cherry tartlets and chocolate truffles.

A floor-to-ceiling wine cellar is the USP of Terroir, Galaxy’s wine bar. An extensive wine list and a DJ make your experience worth it. While you sip on luxury, do not miss the European fine-dining cuisine to go with the greatest wines.

Shopping
Take a galactic trip through all the boutiques and haute couture houses here—from Ashley (leather footwear), to Cube (fashion wear), And (more clothes) and Anokhi (fusion garments). Pick up an antique-looking wooden liquor cabinet from Central Cottage Industries Emporium and silver crockery at Gitanjali, silver tycoon Greggio Argento’s only showroom in India!

Spa
Galaxy’s spa, Spa Soul, works on membership only. You could choose monthly or yearly packages for singles or couples. Then get pampered to the hilt with excellent rejuve massages.

Stay and meet
With world class suites, Galaxy could be the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting town for a while. But, at Rs 14,000 a night, you had better bring along much monies. Galaxy also organises official banquet parties and conferences for the office crowds, Gurgaon is so famous for.

Time to go gaga over Galaxy, what say?
