Family Indulgence Diaries : Mantraa Bar & Restaurant, Deliciousness Personified

​A great family dining place right off the highway, Mantraa is a must visit by anyone wanting to try some delicious gourmet fare in company of friends or family, the staff is very helpful, service is quick, prices are reasonable and they have introduced some extraordinary dishes in their menu that deserve to be tried out,

Love and recommend Kashmiri Shalgam soup with Fresh Turnip, Chilli, Ginger, 

Spinach and Kale Fingers with Chilli Flakes, Herb Mayo making it scrumptious even though it is healthy,

Real melt in mouth Mushroom Galouti, with Ghee Roasted Mushroom, Galouti Masala and Crispy Bread, 

My favorite was Rose Achari Paneer Tikka, softest Paneer tikkas ever with faint rose essence as well as hearty achari marination, this is a rare combination that is so successful!

We also loved Spinach Squares, a dish not available anywhere else, little spinach squares with crunchy cores, try this with whole family!

Among main course we had sweet-ish Jardalu Kofta-Apricot Hung Curd Kofta with Raisins, Lucknowi Gravy, Microgreens with very wholesome and generous mildly spicy Stuffed Veg Kulcha,

Desserts round brought the must-have Panacotta, Toffee Apple Tart and Mud Chocolate Mousse, each one superlative,

Perfect place in all respects :) ​

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 fl...

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 K...
