Indulge in Twist of India With The Gourmet Kitchen & Studios At Yiamas The Experimental Space, Mumbai


There is a food revolution afoot. When we talk of progressive, contemporary, experimental food, somehow the conversation always veers towards world cuisines while Indian cuisine is considered boring. Thanks to Chef Harsh Shodhan who is changing the perception with The Gourmet Kitchen & Studios by presenting fusion Indian cuisine, a twist to the traditional. It was thus an honor to attend the preview of Twist of India, a pop up restaurant serving fusion vegetarian pre-plated 6 course meal at Yiamas The Experimental Space. 

Yiamas is an empty canvas unlike any other banquet or event space in Mumbai. With wooden beams supporting Corinthian pillars, vintage balcony bringing a feel of Greek hamlets and minimalist interiors with colonial windows,plenty of natural light and heart warming music, this is one space that can be used for any event, from birthday parties and fashion shows to pop up restaurants and wedding receptions :) It was a pleasure to be here with some chosen gourmands of Mumbai for a preview of Twist of India. 

Imagine relishing a Paneer Makhani Taco or Mawa Cake with Chocolate Cardamom Mousse! Chef Harsh Shodhan has brought the heart and soul of India to our plates while incorporating plenty of fusion flavors. So we had the chance to relish lovely Masala Soda (spicy refreshing!), Arrabiatta and Burrata Dosa, Caramelized Kanda Bhajee on soft shell taco (sweet and crunchy, no one can eat just one), Ribbon Salad (healthy,fresh), Lemongrass infused Mung Daal soup (inventive, delicious, warm, herbal,must-have), Lasooni Fada Khichdi (Khichdi goes global here!) and Thandai Panna Cotta (mild and creamy,just the way I love desserts!). 

The actual Twist of India event will have a different menu with several more unique dishes and looking at what we relished here, I cannot wait to taste everything else too. Enjoy the monsoon weekend with Twist of India Pop Up Restaurant on 6th and 7th August 2016 at Yiamas The Experimental Space by booking the tickets at Townscript :)

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

Magic At MasalaBar Mumbai : Food Photography & Food Review Session

Image
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 Ka

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
