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!

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
