New Menu @ Lima, BKC, Mumbai

Mushroom Tostada

"Does Peru even have its own cuisine?" was my naive reaction when I heard about Lima, offering Peruvian cuisine, almost a year ago when it was just opened. The Latin American Lounge and Bar by Michelin Star Chef Atul Kochhar is the first and till date, the only place in Mumbai, serving Peruvian and Latin American Cuisine. …

A great weekend starter – Timbuctoo, Vikhroli (W), Mumbai

When it comes to having drinks and dinner with a group of friends, that doesn't cost a bomb, Timbuctoo and Pop Tate's require no introduction. Be it food, drinks, ambiance and prices, almost everything is comparable. The only major difference, I felt was the loudness of music, which is too high in Timbuctoo. Prefer Pop …

A Vegetarian Heaven – Cream Centre, R-City, Mumbai

The Big Nachos

When it comes to vegetarian food, especially for pure vegetarians like me, this place is a no-brainer. You get all the choices, ranging from Indian, Italian, Mexican, under one roof. Order anything from the menu and there are small (if at all) chances of disappointment. The ambiance is much better and elegant than the Chowpaty outlet (the …

Four Cheese For Cheese Lovers – Quattro Formaggi from Domino’s

A small family gathering on the evening of Uttarayan was a perfect occasion for a quick pizza party. Along with default order of Garlic Breadsticks and cheese dips, we tried Farmhouse and 5 peppers in thin crust and Quattro Formaggi burst. The order arrived quickly within expected time and pizzas were piping hot. Quattro Formaggi …

Rooftop Experience Par Excellence – 1 Above, Lower Parel, Mumbai

Indeed a thoughtful name for the newly opened rooftop bar and sheesha lounge. It's not just the place, the service and food make it one above. We were invited for a pre-launch event 2 days before the place throws open for public. Lighted walkway enticed to think about how the place would be which left …

What can be a better place for large family gathering than this one! You are not confined to table and chair and can roam around, have food like a buffet or just sit and enjoy your food. Another benefit is you don't have to worry about what to order. Options are a plenty and most …

The Barbeque Grill, Centre Square, Vadodara

The Grills

Only a handful of restaurants in Vadodara has got live grills option with a great buffet spread. BBQ Grill does it right.  It was a family get-to-gather over lunch and pre-booking helped us get the right table to fit our entire family. In the evening, it would be nice to observe the hustle-bustle through the …

Dadimaa No Varso, R-City, Ghatkopar (W), Mumbai

It's difficult if not impossible to have Gujarati food and still be light on stomach primarily because of the ingredients and uncountable varieties served in a Gujarati Thali. There was always a gap when you want to eat some specific Gujarati dish and not want to go on full Thali. Dadi Ma No Varso fills this gap …
