Stretchery: the most comfortable active wear

I am always looking for really comfortable fitness wear. Besides comfort, I also seek versatility, lightweight, breathable fabric. By versatility, I mean, something that I can use in yoga, Pilates, for running, for indoor workout, aerial silk, etc.
I am ecstatic with my new gift that I received through Stretchery. 

It is clothing made of soft organic cotton enhanced by an eco friendly palette for your exhilaration. It is the pursuit of harmony between comfort, style & conscience. When you are active, organic cotton and other natural fibre wick away body moisture from your skin and allow it to evaporate naturally. It is produced by a workforce, which is paid fair wages. 
It came wrapped in this cute organic bag. I cannot describe how soft and comfortable this fabric is. It seems as if I am not wearing anything. The feel is so good. The design is simple and elegant and I love the discreet motives at the upper back of stretching. Super highly recommending this active wear.

Zafrani murg tikka. It was nice and had amazing flavour and aroma. It was not spicy but well cooked.




Chaat papri- Maharashtrian style. Individual papri with curd on top. Again nice and different. Not too spicy. I loved it. 

Lamb dumplings in schezwan sauce. It is Thai, soft and melted in mouth. It was little bland and heaven for people who do not like spicy stuff.


Atishi paneer tikka. This was delicious. Not too spicy or hot but soft and nice.


The two mocktails we had were-Cool sensation- It had ginger ale, orange juice and cranberry
Safe sex on the beach-Cranberry and orange juice with peach syrup.
Our drinks were refereshing-not too sweet. The sugar content was apt.



Crispy vegetable with salt and pepper. It had a variety of lemon grass, zucchini, mushroom, cauliflower and carrot. It was crispy, fried but really good. The food was perfect for my taste- not spicy but rather delicious.


Golgappas were delicious and hygienic. Loved them.




My friend loved her grilled fish in caper sauce. It was light on stomach.
She also loved chicken red thai curry that was authentic with rich flavours but not spicy.

Our top recommendations for non vegetarians are- Chicken kathi roll- It had vegetables also. Chicken bits were smaller and so easier to have. Usually kathi rolls have too big chicken pieces which makes them difficult to have. Here they had put julienne that was small and tasty.

-    The best was mutton biryani. It was well cooked and flavoursome . It was one of the highlights. It was served with delicious dal makhani and raita. Must try.

I loved their desserts. My favourite were Indian sweets which were awesome. The suji halwa had very light sugar and kesar (saffron). The gulab jamuns were out of this world with a delicious aroma. 











For Delhites, the hotel is far but if you are in Noida, I would highly recommend you to try NTC. The food is heavenly.
