Delicious Diaries Spiced Up : Masaledaar By Mini Punjab Food Review

Mini Punjab is already established as a legendary place in Mumbai. It was therefore an utter pleasure to be a part of their food blogging review invite at Masaledaar outlet in Thane, situated on the first floor of Thane Club. Fret not, there is no entry charge whatsoever for this foodie heaven, and what a heaven it is. While Mini Punjab has a lot to offer to hardcore non-veggies, even a devout vegetarian family like mine had excellent fare that would certainly bring us back here again and again.

Right from their jumbo glass of Chaas (served in typical GIANT Punjabi glass, this is enough as a meal in itself) to refreshing mocktails (for that much-needed sugar rush), from creamy Paneer Tikka (100% melt in mouth!) and cheesy stuffed Mushroom Tandoori and from fragrant Veg Biryani to oh-so-divine Gulab Jamun for dessert, we could not find a single false note be it in quality & quantity of food or warm and fast service by excellent staff. My parents especially loved the mildly spicy Veg Manchow Soup, hearty Dal Tadka and stuffed Veg Kulcha and my sister absolutely adored Moong Dal Halwa in the end, being the dessert obsessed person in the family that she is :D Oh there were Rasmalais too, pretty decent, especially for someone like me who doesn't like too sweet dishes :) We also had dahi vadas that actually looked like Rasmalai,but they would taste better if allowed to soak in the dahi a little bit longer. My mom however says this is exactly how she had dahi vadas at her childhood punjabi friend's place, so yup, Masaledaar is definitely THE place to be for a hearty authentic Punjabi meal.

The ambiance is elegant and relaxing and the place is huge enough for a complete wedding party. Not to forget, the gorgeous view of the swimming pool from the seats by huge windows instantly putting everyone to ease. Masaledaar ticks all the right boxes to become one of my family's favorites in Mumbai & Thane areas :)

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
