Crazy For Chai : Chaayos Phoenix Marketcity Kurla

​There are very few places that I would return over and over again because they are a delectable combination of great ambiance, service, food and Chaayos is one of those few :) Recently opened, I was here on the opening day itself and compared to many other outlets, the chaos here was fabulously contained by very efficient staff who are always ready to help you in choosing the best from the menu. The menu is limited but very nicely replicates the feeling of having some delicious chai with snacks in a roadside tapri, memories we all love! There is something for everyone and pricing is perfect when looked at quality and quantity.

 I had and definitely recommend their silky saffron masala chai (Kulhad Chai), creamy Desi Cold Coffee, brilliant Drinking Chocolate (don't forget to scrape off the chocolate at the bottom of the cup in the end!) and their Modinagar Shikanji is worth dying for,this is the best lemonade I have had all year. To compliment all the beverages, I would personally recommend Paneer Thepla Tacos (very flavorsome, fresh and mildly spicy), Palak Patta Crispies (so very tangy and yummy), classic Pakora basket that needs no introduction (just a piping hot kulhad chai to enjoy it most), and my favorite Spinach Corn Cheese sandwich which actually is a croissant and the best buttery croissant I have had in a long time. In dessert, I particularly loved their Blueberry Lemon Cake because it was not too sweet but refreshing enough to evoke summer memories. Honestly, cannot wait to be back here :) ​

Magical Dining Experience A La Arabian Nights At Opa Bar & Cafe, The Peninsula Grand Hotel, Mumbai

Image
Already had a wonderful time at Peninsula restaurant at The Peninsula Grand Hotel in company of loved ones last month, so getting a chance to visit Opa Bar & Cafe for a review session with foodie friends was like a dream come true. The ambiance is amazing and crowd is classy. Colorful, vibrant and reminiscent of Arabian Nights in every way, this is one spacious place to chill out with friends and forget all stress of the day. Service is leisurely and prices are on higher side. Nothing matters when food and coffee here is excellent.  Yes, even though it is a bar and has superb drinks (I recommend Long Island Tea), coffee is unbelievably good. Ferrero Shake is also a must-have. Among food starters, Mushrooms on Toast, Bruschetta, Cottage Cheese Aglio Olio, Brie Fritters are very good. Mushrooms are creamy, Bruschetta is crispy refreshing, Cottage Cheese melt in mouth and Fritters so cheesy! In main course, Pasta in Pink Sauce was my favorite, not too heavy and full of flavor

Taftoon Bar & Kitchen BKC Mumbai : Delicious Diaries On Grand Trunk Culinary Tour

Image
Beautiful spacious abode of excellent dishes from legendary Grand Trunk route, binge on some dishes not available elsewhere, each one of them has extremely authentic taste (I have spent my childhood eating authentic Bengali, Bihari, UP, Punjabi food, so this was a beloved homecoming sort of feast)! Ambiance is elegant, the open kitchen rightly occupies center-stage, staff is polite and good at suggesting appropriate dishes as per one's tastebuds, service is fast and menu is vaaaaaaast with more than enough choices for both vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Each dish is succinctly explained in the menu and ingredients used are clearly top-notch. Loved and would recommend- -- Shatawari Aur Kalari- Grilled Kalari Cheese, Asparagus, crunchy, lip-smacking, --Moccchar Cutlet -Banana Flower cutlet,crispy,excellent with accompanying mustard sauce, -- Dahi Bhutteyan De Kebab -Dahi, Corn, Kebab, melt in mouth softness, enough said!  --Chatpatey Pa
