BAKEOLOGY Thane Mumbai Food Review & Photography : Gluten-Free Sugar-Free Dessert Feast

Image
The joy of reviewing HEALTHY YUMMY Desserts is here! Pleased to meet Dr. Kasturi, dentist + nutritionist homemaker who has been experimenting in her kitchen with ingredients such as jowar, bajra, ragi as her dessert-base and jaggery, dates, honey as her sweeteners for binge-worthy desserts minus the guilt. Imagine having a cake with none of that heavy feeling or gorging on nutella that is made of 100% roasted hazelnuts with honey!  She has a lovely menu full of innovative and exclusive desserts and she is continuously experimenting to add new goodies. She can be reached to create personalized desserts as well as hampers for special occasions and delivers all over Mumbai. Recently, my sister and I got an exclusive invite from her to review her Diwali goodie bag and boy, was it a feast!  Remember, her strict policy is of NOT using any maida, butter, sugar, cream and all her goodies are sugar-free + gluten-free. Yet the taste is superb, we did not feel even for

Punjab Grill Kala Ghoda : Delicious Diaries Enjoying Royal Vegetarian Punjabi Feast

Image
Punjab Grill needs no introduction, this outlet is also superlative in every aspect in traditional Punjab Grill way. Best Punjabi food, top-notch hospitality from beginning to end, elegant ambiance, traditional Punjabi folk music to give company, wide range of drinks and a menu encompassing hundreds of options for both veggies and non-veggies.  Even the chutneys, dips and fryums provided at the beginning of the meal is memorable. Special word of appreciation for how nothing is overly dipping in oil/butter (except the dishes that should be) and the main course especially has the exact same taste as provided lovingly by grandmas in any Punjabi kitchen. Perfect representation of ghar ka swaad. Tried, loved and recommend- White Wine Sangria (so refreshing) Punjabi Krantt (Vodka + Lime + Orange + Spices, perfect for summer) Rola Cola Mojito (the fizzy drink of my choice for these summer afternoons) Shikanji (brought back memories of homemade shikanji fr

Image
One of the places I will go back multiple times because it is near perfect in everything. Menu = Had brunch last saturday and it had loads of delicious + healthy salads, smoothies, pasta, noodles, burgers, nachos and such dishes on the menu for veg as well as non-veg lovers. Ambiance = Superlative. One step inside and it is like stepping in a parallel dimension. First off, spacious. Second, huge French windows, sun-lit, bright outer seating plus luxurious inner lounge area. Vibrant, special ambiance for spending with friends or even for a romantic outing. Service = Flawless. Top-notch fine dine feel, staff is exemplary and makes one feel at ease instantly. Price = On expensive side, but absolutely reasonable for the quality of food, service and ambiance here. Coming to the star attraction, food itself, everything was excellent and as described in the menu. Freshly made, flavorful ingredients, exotic masterchef level presentation. We tried salads, smoot

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.
