In hot brew, we haven't tried much because of hot & sultry climate. But we surely enjoyed a cup of 'Red Zen' – Tea with no caffeine.

Tibetan Food: The mystery is finally solved once your visit New Sernyaa in Oshiwara, Andheri(W)

Friendliness, hospitality, generosity and selflessness are the basis of Tibetan etiquette. And experiencing the same is a delight for anyone specially those who have tasted the Tibetan food before.

     

New Sernyaa is located near Lotus Petrol Pump, next to Cafe Simla. This place is difficult to find but hard to miss. This small eatery reflects a small eating joint in Tibetan landscape of mountains and the hill culture in a city like Mumbai.

Steamed Chicken Momos

It seamlessly blend its warm & simple theme with traditional Tibetan & Chinese Food. The emphasis is on serving Authentic and exotic Tibetan cuisine and ambiance can be ignored. 

Fried Pork Momos

When you are waiting after placing the order the aroma of the food will take your curiosity to another level. I was overwhelmed by the quantity of the food, but then the taste of food is so surreal that it was not a difficult task to lick the plate clean. This places satiate my Momos craving and i find the best momos here served with 3 different sauces.

Some of the popular and my favourite dishes are Momos(They have various options), thupka soup , bamboo rice and steamed Tibetan bread which you might have to preorder.

Service and delivery is quick and friendly. Doors open early at around 11.30 am. This place is popular among nearby office goers for satisfying their Craving for delicious food. I found the prices a little high but yes, the gastronomical experience they offer is worth it.

PS - If you don't like Tibetan cuisine, they also have Chinese food option in the menu for your rescue.

From the launch event of Upsatirs - The Asian Bistro, Tardeo !!

SoBo people, “Upstairs” is another place to add to your Go-To List. Located in the midst of Tardeo, Upstairs set to differentiate itself from surrounding lounges with its amazingly soothing ambience, feel good music, great pan-asian cuisine & offers a drinks experience like never before.

We were there at the launch party and it was full of epicness; everyone was geared up to experience the new talk of the town. And fret now, for all the Good Reasons, it stood upto the expectations.

                                            

“They more you drink the less you pay” – first of its kind concept in Mumbai. As you keep on ordering, subsequent drink get cheaper and Not only this, the 4^th drink will be free so that there is no stepping down !! This place boasts of some mind blowing drinks and one drinks that tooks us from ‘upstairs to infinity’ is the ‘Upstairs Infinity Shot’ where one has to sniff the burning alcohol, take the burning shot and following which the bartender give you a circular ride amidst the last cheering from the crowd !!

 Speaking about the food, Upstairs has curated a menu which put together dishes from 15 different Asian destinations. The culinary experience includes dishes originating from Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Other popular Asian dishes from around the world.

So we have tried a number of dishes and believe me it was a gastronomical culinary experience. One advice is to go here with a open mind while ordering food as the menu is curated by some well-travelled Gourmand and they are successful in bring the best of the flavours of the oriental/ pan-asian cuisine.

 

Grilled Basa lemon butter

Malaysian Curry with Jasmine rice

We have tried a number of dishes , but here are few we are totally in love with – Katsu Chicken (for the love of Friedchicken), Grilled Basa Lemon Butter, stir fried chicken in chilli basil, Vegetable and Chicken Murtabak, Crunchy Lotus Roots

Jade Dimsum

Mushroom Yakitori

Chicken Corriander Momo

For the Main Course – Malaysian Curry with Jasmine rice, chicken teppanyaki

Chicken Teppanyaki

Desserts were the star, though they didn’t have many options but the one they had were definitely worth relishing. Do look out for Honey Noodles with the coconut icecream and the yummy cheesecakes.

 

Cripsy Honey noodles with coconut icecream

As they are in conception stage, Service was a bit slow and they need to work on the food a bit before they settle down!! The prices will add to another advantage.

                                   

PS – As this review accounts for the launch party, you can except the service at these parties is not the normal service experience. It might be that Chefs are putting extra care perhaps in the kitchen. So its really tricky to judge a restaurant from its launch party !!! 

Peninsula Next, Sion

Peninsula is a landmark Restaurant chain located at Sion circle, with 3 different branches in the vicinity, they are serving multiple cuisine, comprises Goan, Mexican, Thai and Italian cuisine.  

                 

Peninsula Next is a casual dining and a multi cuisine restaurant with North Indian, oriental and Mexican offerings..

The decor is elegant and subtle.  This place is started in 1994 & it is  just as original with a charm of a 90's restaurant - old paintings, Golden railings, flowerpot on table and background music. Probably for the same reason, this place is recommended for family dining or the middle age group people.

Peninsula chain of restaurants are known for its hospitality, and Peninsula next is par with it, backed by it's friendly and warm service.

Speaking about food, I have loved the  Indian Cuisine out here, as chefs were successful in bring out all the flavours alive. But the food was quite filling, thanks to the portion size and generous use of butter and cream !!

Some of the Indian dishes to try out for - Paneer Lababdar, Ahmedabadi Kofta, Veg makhani and Veg Reshmi.

I was excited to mention their ‘Hongos Con Espinica’ - an entree from their Mexican main course Section. I couldn't say if it was authentic but yes, it was yummy.  A dish with stuffed mushrooms on the bed of Cilantro Rice.

We haven't experimented many dishes from the oriental section but notably few of the dishes which are worth mentioning  are  Sauteed vegetables in Hot garlic sauce, paneer burnt garlic, veg crunchy and Hashcorn vegetables.

It provides an ultimate Fine Dine experience and that makes it a little costier affiar.

                           

PS - As it is a pure veg restaurant, it a sheer attraction for Gujjus, Marwaris !!!
