Without a doubt, Homemade cafe is the cutest cafe around Oshiwara in Mumbai Suburbs. Homemade Cafe creates a cozy, relaxed & inviting - classic European charm in a small, simple and suave setting.

The menu and food talks about a healthier and homely food, inspired by the clean eating habits. 

This eatery begin service at breakfast with there unique breakfast Trays(a meal in itself), pancakes , varieties of egg and much more.

For the other parts, you have a options of Salad, appetizers, sandwiches, pasta , Risottos and continental main course. Fret not, they have a separate menu for your friends who practice healthy eating. 

If you got a sweet tooth, so be assured as it serves a great  Strawberry with Cream , Banoffie pie !!

During our last visit, We loved the Oreo Shake and heady cold coffee. For appetizers, Panko Fried Stuffed mushrooms were great. BBQ crispy chicken had a strong heady taste. Fungi Risotto with three kinds of mushroom is something you should not miss. 

Quite disappointed with the Peri Peri Grilled chicken. The chicken was hard and felt like rubber. 

PS - We were invited here for a Meal!!

Moonshine Cafe & Bar, Mumbai - Review

First things first - the crazy roof light will make you definitely click a Selfie or a Picture of it does really set the place apart from the rest. Before we delve into Food Review, let's talk about the ambience of this lounge cum Bar. With a young lounge ambience, this place has the luxury of space, spread over two floors  - a palatable lounge at level 1 with amazing roof lights with warm tones and a color pop at Bar, making it the highlight of the space. The rooftop has a cozy feel.  Moreover, the music enchanted the mood further.

 

 We have mingled with Old Delhi Style Botti Kebab, Butter Chicken Tarts, Pepper & cheese spring rolls and Tempura fish & chips !!The starters were the finest I had in a long time. They were not at all filling, yet very light on palate. Enjoy your Drink with Butter Chicken Tarts - an unusual preparation of Tarts filled with Simple butter chicken. Tempura fish & Chips can be avoided - due to its batter - it was drenched in Oil.

Drinks that set our mood - Badman Extracted and Moonshine Sour - they were all refreshing with light amount of Alcohol to make you enough high yet enjoy the flavors.

For the main course, meat lovers can feast on Delhi's legendary - Changezi Chicken. Indian breads will let you down as it becomes chewy towards the end of the meal. Also, the onions served as salad lacked attention - it had the roots (check Picture for ref).

As it is more of a drinking and a party place - dessert section includes only 2 choices - Mawa Cheese Cake and chocolate brownie. We had our hand over the Mawa Cake !!

PS - Waiting staff needs to be aware about what they are serving or what ingredients is there in the dish or drink. The staff needs to calm down on their tone.

Lower Patel has got an amazing hideout with best Hookahs and Rooftop Experience : TRE Lounge, Mumbai

Lower Parel is known as the food hub of Mumbai with great places that have excellent ratings and often seen as a weekend option by those residing in the suburbs. Raghuvanshi mills which houses many other popular eateries and restaurants has an all-new Vegetarian - lounge with breezy rooftop section for sheesha for best of experience.

                   

The dingy and congested entrance beside Fumes and Panaya Restaurant may betray your perception about this place. But once you climb up the stairs, this place will bound you with its playful vibe and chic interiors.

The place has 2 sections, The 1st floor is mainly for dining & casual meetings, welcomes you with a beautiful bar counter, warm-lit interior with bricked wall, cozy yet uneasy sofas and contemporary interiors altogether. It was full of energy on Saturdays night & weekends.

The 2nd floor being an open terrace/rooftop area is mainly for sheeshas with separate bar area to enjoy beautiful skyline of Mumbai. With the grey tiled floor, while decor and marble seatings all around the corner - the rooftop area will appease you with alluring experience.

At TRE, you can catch up with your friends while experimenting the amazing dining experience. This place is going to catch up with its rooftop section & Hookahs but food & service are something that needs attention.

They have elaborate options in appetizers whereas Main Couse was limited to a few varieties of Pizza, Pasta, Risotto & Rice. The same have jain options as well. From starters, we had Alio Olio Corns, Garlic Pulla Pie,  Tre Tandoori Tikka, Laffas, Pin wheel tortilla & mushrooms alio olio - liked the apetizers/starters but quite ordinary nothing special.

The Wild Mushroom Risotto and Pasta Alfredo which we have tried can be missed. TRE special Rice seemed like a hybrid version of Biryani in Makhani sauce was good.

The plethora of innovative and unique option that TRE have in Drinks, is amazing. I loved the 'Mango Saffron' - a heady mixture of 'Mango pulp & Dark Rum’. Honestly saying, I love dark rum & gin. Pan angoori was amazing so was The house special LIIT's. In moctails, don't forget to try the Green Apple Lemonade.

Overall, it's an amazing place but need to buckle up the service and some improvement in the food is required. With mesmerizing sheesh & ambiance, I truly wish a more welcoming and attentive attitude from staff.

PS - Music surely sets the mood, playlist gets loud after 11pm. They also have valet parking

Brain Freeze is a new ice cream parlour in Andheri - Lokhandwala that is all set to amaze you with its Unique Flavours.

There aren't many problem that Ice cream can’t solve. Brain Freeze is a new ice cream parlor in Andheri - Lokhandwala that is all set to make us happy with some funky Ice-cream flavors.

             

This new Ice-cream shop will appeal you with its amazing and unique flavors of Ice-creams and sorbets. They serve waffles and desserts as well.

Their Ice-cream and sorbets are homemade daily with natural & finest ingredients and that’s what make this Ice-cream parlor stand out. Each & every Ice-cream creation was diligently churned out by Aziz – one of the promoter.

I am an absolute lover of the crafted caramel flavor. Other best picks are – rich rocher, oral obsession, and electric espresso & jack n Jill.

You can also choose for a bar and top it up with some crazy toppings.

Waffles, Sundaes and frappes are yet to be tried !!

They have a good amount of seating space and perfectly shaded outdoor with no direct sunlight.

Bite into the warm and crispy waffles with an explosion of Chocolate at The Belgian Waffle Co.

There is nothing - I repeat, nothing - That a hot, crispy and chocolaty waffle can't fix. Whether you are depressed, heartbroken, suffering from a horrible day or hungover - biting into a waffle will instantly brighten your day.

                                      

 Mumbai as a city, has witnessed many places that serve waffles, but as someone who has actually sampled a lot of waffles destinations, I can say that some of them are overpriced, some go wrong with toppings and a lot of them serves bready waffles. When I am in need for a waffle fix, Belgian Waffle Co. is the place to go.

Belgian Milk Chocolate Waffle

Belgian Waffles Co. is a waffle specialist dessert parlor. It is present in many locations in Mumbai, and relatively popular amongst local.

When you walk into one of their store, you will find it packed like sardines.

They have got everything perfect from their batter to the toppings, and crispiness to the freshly baked waffles that are made in front of you.

Black & White Chocolate Fantasy

I am frequent to the outlet that is located in Lokhandwala. As usual, Javed & Husnain will greet you with a bright smile amidst the crowd. More than the scrumptious waffles, it is the service extend by Javed & Husnain that brings me back to this outlet.

I personally prefer the 'Belgian Milk Chocolate Waffle' and 'Dark & White Chocolate Fantasy'. Everything else on the menu can be disregarded.

Cheers & have a #travellersdeliciouslife !!

Go kill your egg cravings now - Andamental, Andheri

...

 

Andamental is the newest addition in #andheri and definitely a place to look out for all the eggitarians because of its tempting egg preparations and late night deliveries.

            

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.

Mumbai Vada Pav omelette

Street Style Anda Bhurji

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.

Andamental Maggi

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

PS - Egg is the cheapest and the bestest source of protein and loved by many. Commonly found in Mumbai nookads, stalls and street corners and a healthy & a quick food option for people binge on. Andamental takes it to next level with its mindful egg preparations.

Tosha, Versova

Tosha is a go to place for value for money chicken Starters and Mughlai Food. This place is highly recommended for Non-Vegetarians.

                                  

Though I am not a big fan of their main course, but there starters are worth the hype. Their legendary Russian Cutlet have been featured many times in various articles for a value for money savoury snack. And yes,it stands up to the expectations.

Chicken Crispy Pav

PS - For main course - they have a different menu for different days of the week.
