Rainforest Resto-Bar R City Ghatkopar Mumbai : Delicious Diaries In A Forest In Middle of Mumbai


Ambiance of rainforest comes alive here, it literally feels like we are sitting in the middle of a dense jungle with a chimpanzee about to leap out at us any second, pleasant and unique setting, aided superbly by amazingly polite & helpful staff with excellent service and delicious food with large portions. Food is full of calories, rich in flavors and fragrance and as such, completely worth it even though priced at higher side.

Even though it is situated inside a mall, the outlet itself feels completely detached and in a world of its own. Hit international pop music lends young vibe with flat screen TVs screening pop music videos or current sports matches. Overall, definitely a must- visit place once, be it a group of friends or family. We tried many dishes, each was as expected, nothing gourmet, just lip-smacking food done very right, the starters are dense, cheesy and spicy to go perfectly with drinks, in main course I am partial to their Indian dishes, keeping alive the idea of tasting their Oriental and Italian dishes on my next visit :) This is what I would recommend from this first visit-

Blueberry Mojito, Rainforest Fantasy and Forest Spritzer, each one marvelous and refreshing,
Lemon Coriander Soup which was super duper spicy yet earthy flavored,
Bruschetta Rustica which was appropriately crunchy and wholesome,
Gorgonzola Stuffed Mushrooms which was cheesy, mildly spicy, saucy and so so juicy!
Paneer Angaray, the typical smokey Indian tandoori hint and medley of spices/herbs on soft paneer chunks,
Veg Dum Biryani, closer to authentic Biryani than what many hi-fi places serve :D Portion enough for 3 people, MUST-HAVE!
Kaju Makai Mirch Masala, mildly spicy blend of cashews,capsicum,corn in onion gravy,
Roti Platter with Tandoori Roti, Makai roti, Cheese Naan, each one better than the last, it serves 3-4 super-duper-gigantic hungry people,
Pizza Paratha, cheesy overload with chopped bits of veggies on a wholesome naan, how can this go wrong? Yum-yum!
Creamy ice-creams for dessert of course :)

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
