Hey Everyone,
I recently visited a restaurant in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India called Status Club located at
Plot 58, Status Club, Cantonment Area, Tagore Road, Kanpur.
These are the Status Club Exteriors

Dhuaan Exteriors :
The first restaurant we came across was Dhuaan which is a very popular hangout place amongnst the youngsters. They love having Hookah/Sheesha here along with watching the Cricket Matches on a huge plasma screen displayed in the seating area. The place has a long waiting line during the IPL, World Cup and any other Cricket Tournament Season. The place is famous for its North Indian, Mexican and Italian Cuisine.

Non-AC Section of Dhuaan
To cool down the place there is provision of coolers in the seating area so that the guests are at ease even when not sitting in an air conditioned environment. The place has a beautiful landscape and lots of green plants and flowery decorations to make one feel luxurious. The place has a very warm, welcoming, fresh and relaxing vibe and I immediately felt at ease in that place. Adding to it the aroma of all sorts of sheesha flavours was so enticing ;)

AC Section of Dhuaan
The AC section of Dhuaan has pristine white interiors with a super effective AC and the space was decorated with beautifully lit lanterns and candles. In this part of the restaurant, Hookah/Sheesha is not served and smoking is also not allowed for the comfort of guests who prefer to keep it smoke-free.

Tycoon
We decided to explore a little more before sitting down for our evening meal. Moving ahead we noticed the second restaurant at the Status Club which is called Tyocon. It was a cozy air-conditioned place which is more popular with large family gatherings. The restaurant serves all kinds of Continental delicacies.

Bakery and Icecream Parlour
On our way to explore the third restaurant we came across the Bakery and Icecream parlour at the Status Club which was oh so pretty and cute and had the most delicious of ice cream flavours. We made a mental note that we would certainly get some sweet pastries packed after we finish our dinner .

Earth, Wood & Fire (EWF)
So moving ahead of the Bakery and Ice Cream Parlour and we saw the signage of the third restaurant at Status Club, Kanpur which was called Earth, Wood & Fire (EWF). This was an open air place too which had a slightly rustic and beachy vibe although there was no sea to be seen anywhere nearby ! The place had Grillers and Tandoors and had a smoking zone too. It was more popular with the guests who enjoyed Tandoori food served very hot and straight out of the Tandoor onto their plates.

However, we decided to take up the boogie road and chose to have our dinner at Dhuaan. Although we didn`t try the hookah that night, (We went back a second time especially for it and mind I tell you that it was simply awesome. We tried the mint apple and chocolate flavoured hookah! Sooooooo good!) but chose to be seated in the Non-AC Section of Dhuaan because it was quite a windy evening and the breeze felt so very relaxing when it touched our cheeks and grazed through our hair...It felt so very good and the anticipation of the food to come was making me slightly anxious :)
Food at Dhuaan
The table was beautifully decorated with a dim candle and some sauces displayed in the center for consumption.

We were served a chilled bottle of Himalayan Water and it was such a relief having my first sip after all that walking around in the hot weather .

Then arrived my Lemon Margarita Cocktail which was one of the most delicious cocktails I `ve had in a very long time. The blend was so perfect and the it looked sooooo pretty, I was almost collapsing in my seat in pleasure :) My team partner for the evening decided to go with a bottle of beer that night.

Next arrived the cutlery with the restaurant`s name printed on it. Hmmm...that was a part which I didn`t like much. Also while having the food from the plate, it was a bit annoying looking at it...can't really explain why but I would have preferred the plate to be plain.

We ordered a Veggie Platter which looked like this... and tasted like Heaven...probably !

Then we ordered some Lasagne. It was the gooiest and hottest lasagnes I had had in a long time. It was engorged with so many veggies and fresh herbs and the presentation was so beautiful, I was overwhelmed with the sight itself but ofcourse was completely bowled over by the taste. It tasted just as heavenly as it looked.

So we managed to finish it all and then decided to finish off our meal with a light Tiramisu. I would say I`ve had better Tiramisus but this was really good as well. It was the perfect light and sweet wean off to our flavourful cheese laden heavy meal. We loved every bit of it :)

We were offered some Pass Pass Mouth Fresheners in the end. We happily accepted while the waiter did the billing formalities for us.

All in all, we enjoyed our trip to Status Club, Kanpur, particularly Dhuaan very much. We paid 2,500/- INR for the whole meal which was neither very cheap but not too expensive either considering we had two alcoholic drinks along with our food.
It was a great evening and we were attended to and served very warmly by the staff. The food was presented beautifully and tasted even better. The food and service quality was high. The place had a greatly chic, sophisticated and relaxing ambience. We were completely bowled over and that is why went over to the place for the second time and that is when we tried the hookah/sheesha there. Simply awesome as well!
I have only good things to say about Status Club after the experiences I`ve had there and if you happen to be residing in Kanpur or ever happen to visit the city, I would say this place is a must visit !
