Crazy For Chai : Chaayos Phoenix Marketcity Kurla

​There are very few places that I would return over and over again because they are a delectable combination of great ambiance, service, food and Chaayos is one of those few :) Recently opened, I was here on the opening day itself and compared to many other outlets, the chaos here was fabulously contained by very efficient staff who are always ready to help you in choosing the best from the menu. The menu is limited but very nicely replicates the feeling of having some delicious chai with snacks in a roadside tapri, memories we all love! There is something for everyone and pricing is perfect when looked at quality and quantity.

 I had and definitely recommend their silky saffron masala chai (Kulhad Chai), creamy Desi Cold Coffee, brilliant Drinking Chocolate (don't forget to scrape off the chocolate at the bottom of the cup in the end!) and their Modinagar Shikanji is worth dying for,this is the best lemonade I have had all year. To compliment all the beverages, I would personally recommend Paneer Thepla Tacos (very flavorsome, fresh and mildly spicy), Palak Patta Crispies (so very tangy and yummy), classic Pakora basket that needs no introduction (just a piping hot kulhad chai to enjoy it most), and my favorite Spinach Corn Cheese sandwich which actually is a croissant and the best buttery croissant I have had in a long time. In dessert, I particularly loved their Blueberry Lemon Cake because it was not too sweet but refreshing enough to evoke summer memories. Honestly, cannot wait to be back here :) ​

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
