Hoppitimes @ Hoppipola, Powai, Mumbai

Long Island Ice Freeze (LIIT)

The theme of 'Fun, Frolic and food alongside drinks' is evidently getting more popular amongst gastro pubs lately and Hoppipola is undoubtedly a prominent name in the city and perhaps the only one in the vicinity.

It is difficult to miss the decorated entrance and a symbol made in an attempt to look like some royal emblem when you pass by the restaurant off LBS Marg. A fine Thursday evening we landed there in an attempt to try something new. The restaurant has a wallet parking on the opposite open space …

Hola ‘Hola Chef’

An absence of maid combined with unwillingness to prepare lunch on a lazy week-end is Hola Chef's gain. The nearby restaurant whose number is in your quick dial has the same old menu. Here Hola Chef promises to score. Daily new menu. Well, almost! Installed the app, selected a few items and made payment. An order was …
