Magic At MasalaBar Mumbai : Food Photography & Food Review Session

Kalra is a name synonymous with topmost quality and innovation when it comes to F&B industry in India. Having already been to Farzi Cafe and including it in my favorites' list, it was just a matter of time that I would end up at another Kalra's establishment and this time it was MasalaBar on a food blogger session invite. Breathtaking ambiance filled with mirrors and candles, this is perhaps the most romantic ambiance for dating couples, pure and serene. Every single person who walks in must be wishing they had a 300 MP camera to capture every detail for eternity here :) 

As for food and cocktails, the level of creativity and chemistry that goes into their inclusion in the menu is astounding. They actually have a chemistry lab for all the innovative cocktails they present,distilling, de-hydrating, using magnetic stirrer, centrifuge and so on to create masterpieces such as Bollywood Bhaang, Sunset at Carter, Evening at Chowpatty, Malabar Point,Sasoon Dock, Filter Kaafi Uska or mocktails such as Berry Cooler and Sea Side. Vodka based/ whiskey based/ gin based with coffee distillation/ chamomile reduction/ absinthe foam as palate cleanser..that's how drinks are described and enjoyed here, just like in a scientist's lab, eh? :D 

Among food, fine-dine level molecular gastronomy is expected and presented, with Carbon Pav Bhaji and Kathal Burger being absolute must-have dishes. Infusion of edible carbon in regular pav bhaji and Jackfruit as a meaty accompaniment to regular burger, now who could have thought this up? MasalaBar did :) Or go for tangy-sweet Papdi Pizette, delicious Pan Tossed Mushrooms on Khari Bruschetta, heavenly little Baby Cashew Idlis, Mildly Spicy and filling Asparagus Biryani or the perfect Chaknas Chana Tempura Chaat! Everything has a unique twist and a delicious story behind it, innovation without sacrificing taste! 

Yes, it is a bit heavy on the wallet but the delicious food, outstanding service, mesmerizing ambiance and attention to detail in all departments makes it a worthwhile place to visit,especially for couples on special occasions!

Foodies Meet Up At 4 Year Anniversary New Menu Launch Of 3 Wise Monkeys, Khar, Mumbai

Image
3 Wise Monkeys introduced me to the real meaning of the word 'chilling' about 3 years ago,in company of my college friends. It has been one of our regular haunts for simply relaxing without a care in the world.  It was thus an honor to attend Foodies Meet on the occasion of its 4 years anniversary when they have launched a whole new menu and what a menu it is! There is something for everyone. Every dish we tried was simply fantastic. From cheesy Pizza Fries and scrumptious Panipuri Paneer, from perfectly spiced Indian Curry Fries to flavorful Mushroom Sukka, from firebomb Paneer Chilly Naan Pav to crispy delicious Peri Peri Paneer Pizza and from wholesome Dal Khichdi with Chilly Paneer to heartily portioned Dum Aloo Biryani, cannot find a single fault in any dish whether it be flavors, ingredients or presentation :) Every drink we tasted (whether cocktail or mocktail) also stayed faithful to the flavors and their proportions of fruits/spirits/syrups and ice,not to mention

Magical Dining Experience A La Arabian Nights At Opa Bar & Cafe, The Peninsula Grand Hotel, Mumbai

Image
Already had a wonderful time at Peninsula restaurant at The Peninsula Grand Hotel in company of loved ones last month, so getting a chance to visit Opa Bar & Cafe for a review session with foodie friends was like a dream come true. The ambiance is amazing and crowd is classy. Colorful, vibrant and reminiscent of Arabian Nights in every way, this is one spacious place to chill out with friends and forget all stress of the day. Service is leisurely and prices are on higher side. Nothing matters when food and coffee here is excellent.  Yes, even though it is a bar and has superb drinks (I recommend Long Island Tea), coffee is unbelievably good. Ferrero Shake is also a must-have. Among food starters, Mushrooms on Toast, Bruschetta, Cottage Cheese Aglio Olio, Brie Fritters are very good. Mushrooms are creamy, Bruschetta is crispy refreshing, Cottage Cheese melt in mouth and Fritters so cheesy! In main course, Pasta in Pink Sauce was my favorite, not too heavy and full of flavor
