New Menu @ Farzi Cafe, Lower Parel, Mumbai

Farzi Cafe has already established itself as a go-to place for Indian food with a twist. I got an opportunity to be part of their new menu launch last month. The moment you enter the place, you feel like entering an ancient place primarily because of the intricately carved patterns and a little dimly lit …

Wok Express, R-City, Ghatkopar (W), Mumbai

Wok Express is primarily famous for "Create your own box" and is one of the few QSRs serving sushi. Previously I have tried their Cheung Fun and Baos and I am not a fan of those. Here, in my couple of visits, I tried Edamame and Truffle Dumplings, Crispy Tempura Roll, Jalapeno Cream Cheese Roll and Create your …

For that little pause – Pause Wines

Life can wait, as they say, a little pause in a life that is constantly in rush hour works more than just a stress buster. That's the philosophy behind Pause Wines which has 100 acres of vineyards in Nashik and now has become a prominent name in the Indian wine industry. For me, that little pause …

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. …

Having the first outlet in Delhi, Tamasha is a premium offering from Priyank Sukhija, who has 28 restaurants in his portfolio span across India. Tamasha is the first venture in Mumbai and they plan to restrict it to …

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 …
