The United Sports Bar & Grill, R-City, Ghatkopar (W), Mumbai

The United Sports Bar & Grill requires no introduction when it comes to hanging out with friends over good food and drinks. Their wide range of LIITs and happy our combined together was a good motivation this time. The ambiance was dark, very dark so to say with loud music. This is expected considering the …

The United Sports Bar & Grill, Viviana Mall, Thane

The Making of United 52

Not being a sports or beer fan, sports bar seldom appealed me; but wanted to try their LIITs since long based on my friend's recommendation. No special mention of the ambiance. Typical sports bar like atmosphere with multiple screens displaying ongoing sports events and a super-size screen for any mega event. I would be glad …

Great Authentic Mexican: Salsa Habanero Mexican Taqueria, Subhanpura, Vadodara

Nacho Grande

On my wife's insistence based on excellent Tripadvisor.com reviews, we tried this place and have been there for more than a couple of times now. Named after Habanero(a type of chili) sauce, this Mexica Taqueria offers pick-up/takeaway only and is run by an NRI couple, Rita and Prakash, out of their passion for food. The restaurant …

Masala 360, Vadodara

Being most near to our meeting point for friends get-together, Masala 360 came as an obvious choice. We were group of 9 and decided to go with the unlimited 'Live Bar Be Que' to spare ourselves from typical 'what-to-eat?' decision making. The restaurant was occupied with only one table when we reached even during the festival evening. This …

American food on a platter: The All American Diner, Lavasa

The restaurant is housed in the hotel The Water Front Shaw right at the promenade. If …

Revealing the Secret: Secret Spice, Mulund(W), Mumbai

It's no secret that this is yet another name in the host of Pure Veg. family restaurants in Mulund but has a wide range of cuisine on the menu. Easily approachable from LBS Road, the restaurant offers free valet parking. The place is seating optimised. That means it gets really congested and noisy when the restaurant starts getting fully …

Starbucks Coffee, Powai, Mumbai

Java Chip

My maiden visit to the fine-dine variant of a coffee shop is probably going to be the last one, for having coffee. No complaints about the super casual ambiance filled with noisy chit-chat and quick and friendly service. No complaint either about the quality (Well, there were some ingredients not up to the mark as …

Burger King, Viviana Mall, Thane

Expectations were high and time was less when I approached BK. Selection took quite a while as this was the first experience but eventually the menu turned out to be a cousin of other burger serving QSRs namely McD and KFC. Service was quick but not quick enough for extra marks. My order, Paneer King …

B Bhagat Tarachand, Viviana Mall, Thane

A shiny metallic board catches your attention even from the farthest corner of the food court. Bhagat Tarachand or B Bhagat Tarachand, in this case, is always a preferred name when it comes to great Indian veg. food. This being an outlet in the food court, you are left on your own to find a …
