Peninsula - Hotel Peninsula Grand, Sakinaka

‘’Peninsula’’ in Peninsula Grand Hotel - a place to spend an evening with your family & friends which offers some delicious food with live Indian classical music in backdrop perfectly supported with its top class hospitality - that assures that you are well taken care off. 

                      

I’m extremely excited to mention their ‘strawberry mint julep’ – it is mindful blend of fresh strawberry, fine chopped mint and their organic colours. The aroma of strawberry and mint entices your taste buds and refreshes your senses, making it a worthy drink for that ambience!

Followed by Limited Edition Mango Drink – It was simple yet elegant & No frill Drink. The taste was predictable, but fresh mango pieces made it irresistible.

 Indian Delicacies vary significantly from each other with its local ingredients and traditional cooking methods. The chef excels in conquering all the flavours making their food the USP of this place.

Apart from offering the range of diversified Indian classical Indian fare, they also serve lip-smacking Chinese and Oriental Cuisine.

Veg Platter

From well-assorted veg platter to flavoursome non-veg platter, we have had plethora of options to grub upon. In all, we have had Naram Dilli Kebab, Methi Corn Seekh Kebab, Paneer Tikka, Mushroom Tandoori, Potato & Cauliflower Tandoori in Veg Platter and Reshmi Tikka, Pahadi Tikka,Tandoori Murg, Prawns, Nizami Seekh Kebab in Non-Veg one. It doesn’t end here, they have three different chutneys/sauces – Mint chutney, mustard chutney & tomato based chutney and they are best accompaniments with the snacks. From Fish tikka with mustard sauce, to perfectly tasting hot n sour soup filled with exotic veggies, it was truly a magnificent feast.

Non-veg Platter

Since we were too full after appetisers, Mr. Prakash Kotian advised us to try something from oriental menu and brought us Thai Curry with steamed rice. Basil and Seasoned mushrooms made it amazing with its delicate flavours.

In desserts, they got us Madhur Milap - a wonderful concoction of Gulab Jamun on bed of Bundi topped with rich and Creamy Rabdi and a thick layer of Solidified Milk served in a cocktail glass and I must say that it was exceptional.

We ended this Gastronomical journey with pan shots.

 PS - My experience at peninsula grand was a sheer delight with variety of food options, delicious taste of flavours, excellent hospitality service accompanied with the heart touching ghazal.

                                           

Coco Food Truck, Andheri(W)

This all day cafe provides a nice break from the boring food. The place has got some brilliant and interesting concoction of Italian, continental, Indians and home made Mexican cuisines. The place is done up beautifully and have two seating options - inside and outside one - the Chic ambience with  shades of yellow colour to the decor and the tingy lights give it a feel good factor.

             

The serving size is set on the idea of individual portions. Since portion size is small it is preferable for people to order individual dishes, which in turn makes it a costly affair. The portion size is good for a person like me(I have a good Appetite)

The main highlight is their wide array of menu and their wholesome meals and you will not stop at one.

I loved their continental meals - chicken with wild mushroom sauce is amazing. It has got a nice and well flavoured Curry served with succulent and juicy  pieces of Grilled chicken.

#Throwback to this amazing Grilled Chicken Wild Mushroom Sauce served with a portion of garlic bread, tossed veggies and Served Rice. It was rejoicing to enjoy the succulent pieces of Grilled chicken with flavoursome Rice and the veggies actually complemented the whole thing and we will be hitting back to this place soon !!! The whole review is going to be out soon!!! #foodiliciousmumbai #foodoholicmumbai #letseatmumbai #munchymumbai #foodlove #continental #foodforsoul #tdl #travellersdeliciouslife #foodblogger #fbai #mumbai #foodtruck #indulgence #andheri #lokhandwala #rashmifoodiepicks

Coming to Indian section, the chandni chowk ka Fried chicken surprised us because this is the first time we had some Fried chicken on the menu. The chicken was delectable and full of flavours.

We were not impressed much by the Mexican.

The Tex Chicken Tacos were decent and the filling is tangy and gave a bit of raw taste.

Overall a good place to catch up for a meal alone or with friends. And with the wide array of dishes 

PS - Though the name is food Truck but their is nothing like that remind or relates to Food Truck

    

Pizza Box, Vile Parle(E)

A quaint little pizza joint tucked on Hanuman Road,Vile Parle (E).

My first interaction with this brand happened in Dec 2014, at a college festival in Juhu and the Recent interaction with Pizza Box happened to be on my complimentary visit from zomato and all these times, Pizza box has never disappointed me.

                 

I must say they are a perfectionist in thin crust. Their thin crust goes perfectly well with their elegant toppings. This time I have tried their multi-grain thin crust pizza and it did take a lot of time to be served but definitely worth the wait. And the best part is that while I was inquiring about the delays, the staff assured me that they make fresh dough and have informed the same while placing the order.
I am completely in love with their Barbeque paneer and garlicky mushroom pizza - what a brilliant concoction and the pepperoni Cheese pizza.

BBQ paneer & Mushroom Pizza

The paneer and chicken Stromboli couldn't be given a miss as the marinated proteins with cheese wrapped in bread are rich in flavour and are served with an amazing salsa which adds more flavours to it.
The chicken pizza cones are good but the veg ones can totally be avoided as the vegetable give a raw taste.

The place is small with indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating though only have 3 table, but the setting is very sophisticated and comfortable with a colour combination of white and red.

An amazing place to quench your pizza cravings with simplistic and elegant toppings.
PS - It is sometimes difficult to find a table.
