Summer Garden Powai Mumbai : Healthy Nutritious Delicious Food Review


Perfect place for those who are into health food or basically food good for the body. Made using freshest, mostly organic, local ingredients, superfood grains such as red rice, amaranth et al, using no processed salt/sugar, they serve some brilliant dishes, most of which would take some getting used to for non-experimental palates. I love my pizzas and pastas and fast food like anyone else but once in a while, I do want to detox my body and Summer Garden is what I would revisit for that :)





Ambiance is natural, breezy, open, wood and jute enhanced, like the village machaan in old days or a shack in Goa/Hawaii. Nice music in the background, staff is very polite and efficient, service is fast, everything is made from scratch once the order is placed, food is presented well and prices are high but the whole concept + execution makes it worth it.



I had, loved and recommend-

Yogi Smoothie- Brilliant combo of Dates, Banana, Hazelnut, Almonds, Coconut Water, Cinnamon,

Epic Shake- Raw Cacao Powder, Figs, something very different and must-have for every chocolate lover,

Smoked Avocado Sandwich - Sourdough bread, Smashed Avocado, Tomato, Olive Tapenade, Roccula, Toasted Almonds, Olive Crumble, nice sour-y and wholesome taste, filling for a very light eater,

Mushroom Cigars- Slow Cooked Mushrooms in Filo, baked to perfection, even a non-mushroom lover like me really loved it, the bed of mustard sauce it was presented in gave a good tough punch,

Indian Salad Bowl- Spiced Chickpea, Mushroom & Broccoli Tossed Red Rice, Yogurt Tamarind Jam, the flavors of sweet-spicy played well with each other, my absolute flavor, must-have here, probably the best choice for those who want to play it safe because the flavors are so very Indian!

Rosti Potato- Crunchy Potato Rosti, Lemon Aioli, Baby Spinach and Orange Salad, I would have this for breakfast any day, strong individual flavors of potato, orange, spinach, basic but delicious,







Sticky Toffee Pudding - Baked Toffee Pudding, Sticky Toffee Sauce & Toasted Almond Ice Cream, MUST-HAVE for the caramel-y overload, share between 2-3 people,

Brioche- Golden Buttered Brioche, Jaggery Caramel and Toasted Almond Ice Cream, another MUST-HAVE for the warm, buttery feeling it evokes along with feeling like silk on palate, again share between 2 people!

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

Technology Diaries : 3D Printing Hub At TiME TO 3D, Future Is Now!

TiME to enter the future is NOW, TiME TO 3D, and HOW! While anybody who knows me knows how invested I am in looking at the world through my camera lens, once in a while something happens to make me look away from my camera, and look with awe. Nope, I haven't turned into a poet. Just had a life-changing experience at TiME TO 3D , a collaboration between Imaginarium (India's Largest 3D Printing Company) and Time Media Group ,situated in the heart of college-going crowd at Vile Parle, Mumbai. This is India's first of its kind hub that allows everyone and anyone to enter the stunning world of 3D Printing. All of this sounds great in theory. But these people truly believe in the concept and so even in practice, it is pretty fab :) Walk in like I did, with no knowledge at all and walk out amazed. What --> Printing is 2 dimensional, length and width. Add height i.e. the 3rd dimension (or call it depth) and there is the basic concept of 3D Print

Taftoon Bar & Kitchen BKC Mumbai : Delicious Diaries On Grand Trunk Culinary Tour

Image
Beautiful spacious abode of excellent dishes from legendary Grand Trunk route, binge on some dishes not available elsewhere, each one of them has extremely authentic taste (I have spent my childhood eating authentic Bengali, Bihari, UP, Punjabi food, so this was a beloved homecoming sort of feast)! Ambiance is elegant, the open kitchen rightly occupies center-stage, staff is polite and good at suggesting appropriate dishes as per one's tastebuds, service is fast and menu is vaaaaaaast with more than enough choices for both vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Each dish is succinctly explained in the menu and ingredients used are clearly top-notch. Loved and would recommend- -- Shatawari Aur Kalari- Grilled Kalari Cheese, Asparagus, crunchy, lip-smacking, --Moccchar Cutlet -Banana Flower cutlet,crispy,excellent with accompanying mustard sauce, -- Dahi Bhutteyan De Kebab -Dahi, Corn, Kebab, melt in mouth softness, enough said!  --Chatpatey Pa
