Welcome To Heaven In Mumbai..Havana Cafe & Bar Launch :)

            A cute and happening Cuban pub called Havana Cafe & Bar is the just the place to go to for a night of fun with friends after a loooong office week. One thing I would really like to point out right at the start is that, unlike most other pubs where music is super loud and is dedicated to just drinks, some chakna and people dancing, the theme of Havana is pretty refreshing, with different events taking place through the month, such as Ladies Nights, Open Mic Nights, Poetry Nights and the like. Bringing the lavish party culture of Cuba, which in fact blends in perfectly with Mumbai’s Friday and Saturday party culture, Havana Cafe & Bar proves to be just the place to drink and laugh with friends, owing to their beautiful cocktails and scrumptious food, along with their really, really funky deals through the week!


            Recently, my friend and I went for one of their cool poetry nights, which was hosted by Youtube sensation Aranya Johar (who recently shot to fame for her video about an average Indian girl’s struggle in India for her own identity) and had everyone is splits. The line up for the poetry gig was also pretty impressive with their voices sharing their opinions on a range of topics, right from how it is a crime today to be a bald youth today, to how our martyrs deserve more than a moment of silence!


            Coming to pait-pooja, although they are not too big on food, what they do offer is pretty yum, especially their nachos and onion rings, and their range of 13 different types of dips proved to be just perfect for the night! Personally I prefer this too, with not too many items to confuse you for choices, and dips are my personal favourite too. The list of their cocktails, most of them Rum-based (Cuban style, wink wink) definitely left me asking for more. Starting with Jack Sparrow (White Rum, Kahlua and Expresso), I also had Zombie (3 types of Rum, Grapefruit, Passion Fruit, Lime Juice, Grenadine and Absinthe – my favourite!!!) and The Freedom Fighter (white & dark rum, triple sec, bitters, orange juice, pineapple juice, lime juice and orgeat syrup).





            Apart from these, I also found out from their uber-cool menu about their Cigars & Cigerrates and the very tempting Rs. 72 menu! This pocket-loving menu serves drinks and food at just Rs. 72 everyday between 6-8 pm and I cannot wait to try this next time I’m 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

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
