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 shikanj...

The Clearing House Ballard Estate Weekend Brunch Review : Delicious Diaries Go Healthy

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...

Contemporary Global Cuisine At AKA Bistro : Food Review & Photography

Image
Beautiful ambiance, situated in the art district of Mumbai (Kala Ghoda), I suggest a visit to AKA Bistro for some delicious contemporary global food (adapted well to Indian tastebuds yet tasting authentic!) in a peaceful, spacious decor. Staff is polite, efficient, service is fast and price is at par with quality and quality. Had, liked very much and recommend- Broccoli Cakes - Very soft, melt in mouth, must-have, Tofu Taco- On sweeter side, a bit tangy too, my favorite in Vegetarian Tasting Platter, For Vegetarians, Vegetarian Tasting Platter has couple of delicious little bites including a very satisfying Pita-Hummus combo :) Malayasian Curry with Sesame Rice is a must-have one pot meal, Eggplant Ravioli with Pasta, Pine Nuts, Arrabiata Sauce - the sauce was yummazing, will have this again the next time I am here,  Flourless Chocolate Fudge Cake- Self explanatory, chocolate lovers have to dig in, Duo of Baked Yogur...

Image
Food that is healthy in every sense of the word = locally sourced, nutritionally rich, devoid of artificial flavors or preservatives or unnecessarily added salt/sugar, AND YET delicious to the core because it contains the basic goodness & taste of fresh fruits/vegetables/mild dressings =THAT is what Healthylicious brings us :) Situated as a kiosk opposite R City Food Mall on 3rd floor, this must be the to-visit destination for all foodies to give our bodies a break from all the fast food and indulge in some much-needed health quota, at very value for money price points and with no prior perception of 'oh health food is so bland/tasteless'. Here we get flavorsome soups, crunchy salads, wholesome sandwiches, filling brown rice meals, cold-pressed juices that are turbo-charged nutritionally. Vegan and Jain options abound on the menu, staff is very helpful and service is quick. Make a point to check out their menu that has been designed keeping all nutritional needs ...

Rainforest Resto-Bar R City Ghatkopar Mumbai : Delicious Diaries In A Forest In Middle of Mumbai

Image
Ambiance of rainforest comes alive here, it literally feels like we are sitting in the middle of a dense jungle with a chimpanzee about to leap out at us any second, pleasant and unique setting, aided superbly by amazingly polite & helpful staff with excellent service and delicious food with large portions. Food is full of calories, rich in flavors and fragrance and as such, completely worth it even though priced at higher side. Even though it is situated inside a mall, the outlet itself feels completely detached and in a world of its own. Hit international pop music lends young vibe with flat screen TVs screening pop music videos or current sports matches. Overall, definitely a must- visit place once, be it a group of friends or family. We tried many dishes, each was as expected, nothing gourmet, just lip-smacking food done very right, the starters are dense, cheesy and spicy to go perfectly with drinks, in main course I am partial to their Indian dishes, keeping alive the ...

Cheesy Indulgence At Pizza Box Vile Parle Mumbai : Food Review & Photography

Image
When we are in mood for cheese, we go for pizzas. And frankly, when are we not ever in mood for cheese? Pizza Box is one of those perfect places to take care of all our cheesy cravings. The pizzas here are loaded with toppings and cheese, with typical Indian tadka thrown in, and the starters/sides are also super duper delicious, not to forget some refreshing beverages to gulp it all down with. We tried, loved and recommend- Green Apple Mocktail, Lemon Iced Tea - (special note-please keep beverages handy for some pizzas are really hot and you need these to douse the fire on your palate!) Crostini = cream cheese + corn + just a hint of chillies = absolute party in mouth, Paneer Strombili = Paneer Tikka stuffing with cheese baked in a bread = hearty meal for light eater, Pull Apart Garlic Bread = Warm bread + Cheese + Garlic + Butter = loads of messy fun pulling it apart, Hot Head Pizza = Jalapenos + Bell Peppers + Chillies + Hot Sauce = Dragon Fire in mouth, must-have fo...
