A Classic of Cuffee Parade -Flamboyante by Amrish Arora

Flamboyante has a classy & ambiance with the luxury of space, that too in an area like Cuffe Parade - making it a hautest venue for meals, meeting joint or a café .

 

 It's a cozy sprawl with classic off whites walls, high arched ceiling - Buffet Serving/live food counter on one corner and a huge bar on another end gives this place an easy comfort vibe.

The extensive menu runs to fresh salads, soups, oriental & Indian fare to pizzas & pastas, and the great value lunch buffets, available throughout the week, shouldn't be missed. Celebrate Sundays with a spirited brunch spread: kebabs, pizzas, dim sum, chaat & more!

While there are several craft beers are on tap, it was the cocktails that we were keen to try. They have a few good options in whiskey and Gin but coming to cocktails - there's a limited choice.

Margarita, Gin Smash and Whiskey sour were refreshing but again - whiskey Sour had that peculiar smell of Egg - which made me return the drink.  Long Island icetea was impressive enough to get us rolling.

The great value lunch buffets, available throughout the week, shouldn't be missed. Celebrate Sundays with a spirited brunch spread: kebabs, pizzas, dim sum, chaat & more!

A La Carte - The extensive menu runs from oriental fare -  starters, Dimsums, Baos, sushi, and fusion Asian nachos to tread salad and soup. The other part of the menu had classic Indian Fare - running down to favorite Pizza, Pastas & luscious desserts.

Coming to the food, we started our meal with ordering Crusty Mustard chicken, Butter Milk Crispy chicken Bao and Burmese Khao suey from the Oriental section. While Crusty Mustard chicken can be avoided - the crispy chicken Bao and the iconic khowsuey are something you will want to savor till the end (ironically Bao’s arrived at the end). The wholesome Khowsuey Bowl comes with an option of Veg/Prawn/ Chicken and wholesome array of condiments was the best I have tasted.

Next on a list was a specially created tikka platter for us - with Lucknowi Dahi Kebab, Bhuttey Methi k seekh, Kashmiri Chicken Tikka, Murg Bazaari kebab ,Galuti kebabs and Kakori kebabs. It was a huge hit but lamb might let you down.

With scrumptious food options, we opted to order a  Half an Half BBQ Chicken Pizza /Pepperoni Pizza [With added Truffle Oil] and Pink Sauce pasta.

Pasta didn't impress us and had a very sour aftertaste which was highlighted to the waiting staff.

A good dessert is obviously a good end to the meal and that's obviously happened with their legendary Chocolate Mudpie and Mikado Cake Slice.

PS - With this, excited to try Amrish Arora's newly launched Hammer &Song !!

RUSH TO RAJOURI - BACK TO BACK HAS OPENED IS SOON OPENING ITS GATE

Rajouri Gardens is fast becoming a generic hub of swanky fine dine restaurants and innovative conceptual bars, almost transforming the west Delhi food and nightlife scenario.

 

The latest addition was the media launch of ‘Back To Back’ which was quite a prate of town. The launch was surely a relished affair and definitely the one not to be skipped.

The media launch of Back To Back gave us a possibility of interacting with other bloggers from Delhi, which was again a worthwhile affair. The cocktails are the highlight of this lounge, immensely creative and not just boozy, these are big on flavours.

The menu was mainly bifurcated in North Indian, Chinese and Continental picks - the appetizers will make you lick your fingers and crave for more. From Pizza to Tikka & Chinese fare, the menu has it all to satiate your cravings - which was again seductive, pseudo Indian, less of a fusion but more of lipsmacking.

My main course picks - Dal Makhini, Paneer and Kadhai Chicken tasted of what I would call a pious culinary haven. Rich, rooted in authenticity and every bit decadent. The indian Fare was rich and flavourful.

Ps - Prices are pretty reasonable and every morsel and cocktail is worth its price.

From Scrumptious Sandwiches to the chic interiors and Modern Art : The Big Fat Sandwich at Haus Khaz is the place to be.

I cannot stress enough the importance of relying on a cafe which does not burn a hole in your pocket and yet, you would not want to compromise on the quality of the food. Big Fat Sandwich in Hauz Khas is one of my favorites in these aspects. Open from 11 in the day to 11 in the night, it serves delicious sandwiches at reasonable prices.  With all this going for it, Big Fat Sandwich certainly has the potential to be your next go-to place.

 

AMBIENCE : We began our evening experience at Big Fat Sandwich which was curved in its layout and cozy and comfortable in its design. The interior is filled with beautiful wood panelling, floral touches and plush furnishings, and the well-lit space bestows the restaurant with a timeless intimate elegance. In a crux, the place is modern, understated, chic and comfortable.

FOOD: Following recommendations from the extremely friendly and attentive staff, we went for the suggested food items by Manager. Big Fat Sandwich truly lives up to its name with best sandwiches around the corner.

As for the cafe itself, this was spacious and well-appointed. Carefully designed, it was both intimate and social, with the acoustics being properly monitored to minimize any amplified chatter and clanking that often fills other establishments. This space in every way epitomized what a modern fine-dining cafe could aspire to look like. Not only was the food delicious, the service was also excellent – smart yet unpretentious. Big Fat Sandwich made for a lovely chilled out dining experience and also the prices were quite reasonable. The cooking replicated the quality at food– controlled, measured, precise and flawlessly executed. This is how a cafe should be run.

When hot, flavorful and delicious Punjabi Food gets delivered to your place, there is nothing more you can ask for : Dont Worry Eat Curry, South City 1

'Don't worry eat curry' is a place you can bank upon when you are craving for some good food and lazy enough to go out to eat or cook something!! Prominently a Delivery only joint that serves Scrumptious North India Food with its two outlets stationed and serving in Sec 14 and South City, Gurgaon

                                         

Well, I haven't tried much of the vegetarian dishes but non-vegetarians will surely enjoy the elaborate spread of starters and lip- smacking curries that goes perfectly with the butter naan. Do try out the Biryani and Soya Rogan Josh, loved the flavours and taste.

Another interesting think is there - 'Make your own Dish' concept, where you can customize your own Dish by choosing your preferable protein and curry of your choice. Also, the AYURVEDIC Thali is not to be missed, which is made with pure Ghee and serves with multi-grain Roti's.

Some of the Appetisers, we have tried include - Oye hoe murg tikka, Murg Kalmi kebab & Dahi K Cholley. Dahi K Cholley had great taste, but they have turned soggy as it lost its crispness while delivery. In Mains, Nukkad ka kukkad & Dal e khas was accompanied with assorted breads. I haven't like Dal E khas - it was yellow Dal instead of signature Dal Makhani and very seldom one Wants to eat yellow Dal when eating/ordering out.

Talking about my experience, delivery was made on time as promised. Many of the dishes have fancy names, the person on phone was humble enough to explain the dishes and help you place the order.

PS - When hot, flavorful and delicious Punjabi Food gets delivered to your place, there is nothing more you can ask for !!!

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

Hot or cold? Milky or clear? These are just some of the questions you will need to ask yourself while choosing from extensive Tea menu at Tea Trails, Vileparle.

Tea Trails is the place to be if you love tea. Tea Trails serves gourmet teas from around the world and has teas ranging from hot to cold that can be paired with great food.

Although this place serves the vegetarian food, they have a small menu for eggetarians.  This also makes Tea Trails, a go place for a quick homelike light and healthy meal.

In their summer special menu, We were taken aback by the cool & Refreshing options in cold brews and mocktails. I am pleased by the amazing Medley of Orange and Mint, that is called ‘Better Wife' on the menu. Tea Sangria and Bubble tea Is something that can't be missed!!!

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.

Lokhandwala has a new join that serves the best Roasted Chicken: TST - Pollo A La Brasa

If you ask me what is love, then I will say a portion of Perfectly roasted chicken with texture and flavours.  And guess what, I have found my love at this Newly opened eatery in Lokhandwala first cross lane.

                              

For all chicken lovers, this eatery had this amazing Peruvian recipe for roasted chicken waiting for you that can be accompanied with wide choices of sides. The menu has the influence of flavours and cuisine of Peru and also have some real good Milkshakes.

The menu is limited but the Legendary Gastronomic Champion - Pollo A La Brasa is something that you have to come back for.

'Pollo A La Brasa' is the most delicious roasted chicken I have ever eaten…The marinade is full of spices and herbs.  I would describe 'Pollo A La Brasa' as herbaceous, savory, well spiced and just as juicy as one can imagine. The skin is beautifully crisp and flavored too. It is considered to be a staple item on the menu of Peruvian/American fusion restaurants. In Peru, They even have a national day for it on June 1.

I have written so much about 'Pollo A La Brasa' but trust me even the Milkshakes are also the winner of our meal at TBC. This is a small joint with a little seating space. It mostly comprises of Backless stools which I feel is not idle to enjoy a comfortable meal. But that serves the purpose as it provides with more seating space.

Background music they play is also refreshing and plays a great role in binding the experience together.

Overall, a first of its kind and a great place in the vicinity to enjoy good Peruvian Cuisine and the Legendary roasted chicken.

Tingle your taste buds with Fiery flavours of Grills & Wok, Oshiwara

There are many Chinese restaurants in Mumbai and many new ones are opening nowadays. Every Chinese restaurant has its own taste and flavors. From the taste and color of schezwan sauce to ingredients used and preparation style everything differs.

            

If you remember, China is also a vast country and as Indian food - they too have regional styles of cooking and that where this variation comes from.

Thai Pot Rice

Food at 'Grills & Wok' is packed with spices and fiery flavors. Fiery means super spicy, I almost had 7-8 glassed of water to gulp down my food. Although dishes I have ordered were meant to be spicy but they are extra spicy (even my Maharashtrian Friend couldn't survive that)

The Iconic Roast Chilli Chicken

Sauces used are different and that cooks up some really delicious dishes. The best part of the menu is their 'Roast Chicken' in different chinese preparations. They have dedicated 'Lamp and seafood' option to their food menu - that you don't get to see normally in Mumbai.

Recommendations - Roast Chicken Chilli with spring Onions, lamb in paprika and exciting range of pot rice. 
It is a small Restaurant with two seating portions - apt for family get-togethers as well as casual dinners. I found prices to be at a higher side, but the quality of food justifies the same upto some extent.

PS - The food I have tasted here was extremely spicy for normal palate. Do make necessary alterations while ordering your food.

A taste of modern indian cuisine @ Anncensored - Lower Parel.

Most of the new restaurant that are opening nowadays, are focusing themselves to be different and on creating a unique space in crowd.

             

What set AnnCensored apart is the mindful concentration on 'Food and It's flavors'  with a motto of 'innovation with exploration'. And just like Farzi Cafe and The Bombay Canteen( from the same Vicinity),  it takes on serving Indian Food with a contemporary twist.

AnnCensored with this two different menu - Censored and AnnCensored gives good options to its guest in all parts of meal. The censored menu is full of original Continental Fine-Dine favorites whereas the Uncensored menu, recreated those dishes with an Indian twist. Another fact is that the dishes from censored menu is served on white plate whereas black ones are used for AnnCensored part.

What all we have tried ?? We only tried AnnCensored menu as the menu is so spread out. A single trip will not do a justice to this place and a second visit is on our list.

We started off with Butter Chicken Croquettes, Beetroot Tikki chat and Malai Mushrooms. All these starters were uniformly stellar. Bonus points to 'butter chicken Croquettes' for its interesting plating on a miniature black cart and we took no time to lick off the tangy 'beet root tikki chat'.

For mains we opted for ' Double Cooked Old Delhi style chicken leg' and   to my surprise, for the first time I Order baingan ki sabzi at a restaurant I.e Ratatouille stuffed baby brinjals in lababdar gravy. 'Double cooked old Delhi style leg' should not to be missed -  perfectly cooked leg pieces in flavourful tomato based sauce that went perfectly with Parathas.

The Creamy orange Cheesecake is another highlight of our dinner. It has a glistering topping of orange puree with a hint of raspberry sauce & crushed biscuits crust. The consistency is lovely and it is a complete surprise to your taste buds.

The bar had some amazing stuff to satiate your fantasies. They are having a wide array of cocktails for you – they mainly had drinks mixed in a fascinating molecular gastronomy way which is a treat to drink as well as to watch.  They have a small  section of ‘Tiki Cocktails – that mix flavored syrup & fresh juices with Rum

Overall a nice concept that provides a blend of Casual and lounge dining experience with its elegant ambiance and playful decor that gives a whole new energy to this place.

Pa Pa Ya, Lower Parel : Whether it is introducing your taste buds to Japanese cuisine or getting to know it better, Pa Pa Ya is among Top city food critics suggestions for Japanese Fare.

While Indian & Italian cuisine may have been Mumbai diner's favorite for years,  Japanese and oriental cuisine is proving to be a hit amongst culinary enthusiasts in Mumbai, especially the young and the health conscious. Although, many of the ingredients have to be imported, making it an expensive proposition.

          

Pa Pa Ya is one such restaurant where you can not only introduce your tastebuds to Japanese & Asian cuisine but also get to know it better ensuring its tastiness.

Pa Pa Ya is a classy affair. Stood at palladium mall, Lower Parel.The restaurant is always full and there is a long waiting generally. The whole service scape is well layered out with good hexagon dim lights(That keep changing because of projection mapping) and vibrant coloured seating which go well with the music and whole concept of the resto-bar.

Coming to food, the menu is well curated and one will have good options in all parts of the meal - (even a specially curated menu for Jains). You can choose from a wide spread of flavors from Thailand, Myanmar, Korea, Japan, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Singapore.

You may know less about sushi and its variations and that is where the service comes handy. The waiters and managers help in suggesting exotic sushi dishes according to your tastebuds. With sushi burger, sushi pizza, this is a place where you can introduce your taste buds or even get to know sushi better.

Even the drinks will leave you wanting more. Molecular Gastronomy adds on flavors, feel, textures and visuals that enhances the drink and make the drinker’s experience more intresting.

In all the experience at Pa Pa Ya was great, something pleasantly different and I would recommend everyone to go there with friends or family and enjoy the twist and turns of sushi.

Ps- Before the meal, the server will provide you a small glass filled with watermelon and basil juice which apparently helps in cleansing ones tastebuds and prepare you for experiencing the different taste of sushi dishes.
