It is a small joint as it is primarily a delivery only concept, but nevertheless the little seating space they have is enough to give you a whole better experience. They have an open kitchen which ensures quality food is being served with tickling aroma of eggs that will tempt you more.

We were there at Andamental last week and tried a no. of dishes. Dishes we Tried : Andamental Maggi, Desi omelette pav, street style anda Bhurji, Mumbai Vadapav omelette, Turkish omelettes, the andamental ghotala(Star), Tawa Bhurji Roll, The andamental Biryani(a little dry but flavourful) & Veg. Makhani biryani
 
Andamental Ghotala
Every dish we tried was commendable and there were few dishes that are making us crave till this time.
Andamental Biryani

Veg makhani biryani

Recommendations: Don’t miss out on the stomach stirring Anda Ghotala & Andamental Maggi. Vegetarians can go for samosa curry. And what makes their curries better is the humble butter pav. If you love combination of egg & cheese, do try the Australian Omlette.

Go kill your egg cravings now and a go to place if you experience midnight hunger pangs just like us!!!

Harsh Chocolates, Andheri(W)

What kind of monster can possibly hate  
Chocolates?


Well  Harsh Chocolates had delivered some pretty looking mouth watering handmade chocolate hamper with newly launched hotchocolate sticks and a pack of chocolate biscuits.
Believe me I had a love struck to this beauty.

The new hot chocolate concept is the chocolate sticks that we can dip, ready to be sunk in warm milk to give you a sinful hot chocolate indulgence. The sticks are available in 3 flavours  - Dark Chocolate, Cinnamon and Masala Milk.

The Dark chocolate was our favourite and MasalaMilk will not fail to impress you.

A Quick Fix for Sinful chocolate Indulgence

It's apparent that chocolate is a highly personal treat. The texture of these Chocolates was creamy and smooth. These gourmet chocolates give a  perfect balance of flavours and sweetness - apt for the hardcore chocolates fans to the casual eaters.

Next comes the Chocolate covered biscuits, the Chocolate covering was delight over light and crispy biscuits.

Keen to try their signature White Pot and other Chocolates. A good value alternative to all the commercial brands and stereotype handmade Chocolates.


Well the length of my post surely says Harsh Chocolates falls in my palate perfectly.

Icekraft, Oshiwara.

This place has added a new aspect to ice-creams – surprising our taste buds with customised make yourself flavours. Plus, it’s not only a ice-cream parlour, it’s a dessert parlour cum small eateries with choice of waffles, sandwiches, Churros & salad. But the mainstay is their Stone Cold Ice Creams and other scrumptious desserts – pancakes, churros & waffles.
 Icekraft Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato              View my food journey on Zomato!
Ice Creams - People like their ice-creams to be easy and quick but icekraft does completely opposite of this. Firstly you have to choose from few rhetorical overused bases and then add toppings to make it look and taste better. As there are chances that you end up making a weird concoction. But once you are sure about how you want your ice-cream with all the sauces and toppings then this place will not let you down.
Since your ice-cream is made on your demand, people have to wait a lot. Sadly ice-cream was less than what was expected.
Waffles, Churros and Pancakes – The churros waffle topped with marshmallows, whipped cream and maple syrup was the star.  I have tried the Red Velvet Waffle and loved it. The waffles and pancakes will not disappoint you either and priced very sensibly. They are worth coming back for.
Moreover, the space is too compact - there was more space for staff than customers. Being a small joint, they managed a little space for seating by adding an entresol. And they have a small live kitchen counter and that smell of kitchen adds to the disappointment.


Vanilla With salted Caramel sauce 
Absolute Chocolate













These few things made my experience at icekraft a little underwhelming.
But it also had few positives, like the concept itself is good but still in a very under nurtured stage.  And the staff was quite friendly and hungry for feedback.
To sum it up you should go there when you have enough time and energy to put on ice-creams as it is a decent effort to add different aspects to ice-creams. And if not ice-cream, you can visit this place for other desserts or a quick bite.

PS – I haven’t tried their sandwiches and pasta but at the price tag like these they are going to be the steal deals.

Sardar Pav Bhaji, Tardeo


Craving for some Pav Bhaji, then Splurge in the AMUL Pav Bhaji with loads of buttery goodness at Sardar refreshments, Tardeo.

Sardar Refreshments Menu, Reviews, Photos, Location and Info - Zomato       View my food journey on Zomato!

You must have had butter chicken, daal makhani, paneer makhani and many other Punjabi dishes packed with butter and ghee. I Guess that's the story with Sardar ki pav bhaji.
     
















An amazingly tasting bhaji with pav done in Amul butter explains why people were standing in a queue for hours.Raving all the time, with the waiting period for more than 30 mins.
Amul Bhaji
One of the best Pav bhaji in Mumbai


















The pav bhaji is loaded with butter and that’s what sets this place apart.
I surely can’t say that it’s the best Pav bhaji. Well it’s a debatable topic but surely one of the iconic joint. Hot piping Pav bhaji with pavs dipped in butter will surely make you indulge in every bite.
Though some feel that taste of butter supersede spicy and tanginess of the bhaji but the buttery Goodness adds another flavourful concoction to it.

Apart from Pav Bhaji’s, several Juices and milkshake are available to accompany with.
Mango Milkshake

Looking at the long waiting line you can always opt for Thermacol plates and sit in your car or near the car to enjoy this scrumptious pav bhaji.

The Special Pan's embarks the best end to the sinful experience.

Special Dry Fruit Pan

Though its raving popularity, it has kept its price quite reasonable and competitive.

PS- if you are calorie conscious, Stay away from this place.

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.

About Me !!

I have moved to mumbai some 3 years back and blogs about the food i make and eat. Restaurant reviews from Churchgate to Virar  & Thane and beyond!

My name is Maanik and I am a food blogger. Here you can find my restaurant reviews and thoughts on foodie things.

I really like to write and talk about food and dining out.I don't claim to be a connoisseur of food, nor an expert on how authentic a cuisine can be. But I know enough of pastas, sizzlers and steaks after years of continuous eating. I strive to give an honest opinion of the experience we had at a restaurant, the food, the ambiance and those aspects that you would look for when scouting for a place to eat. I believe opinions on restaurants are formed on your first visit there. If you had a bad experience, you are unlikely to go back. I don't expect everyone to agree or like my opinion, but then, we all have different palates don't we!
