FOOD TRUCK CUM DELIVERY OUTLET - HAWKERS IN VASANT KUNJ

There's a new Food Truck i.e in Vasant Kunj on the Mahipalpur road, #NewDelhi. Apparently, its been there for a while, they are back with a new classy truck. 

Simple menu there, nothing fancy, a few meal combos to choose from and they’re all priced reasonably. I’ll admit I may have been a bit overeager and had gotten just enough of a taste to make me want an encore. We tried the chicken tikka roll, loved the stuffing/filling of the roll but unfortunately the rotten Rumali Roti ruined all the flavors.

.

Ps - This is the cleanest and one of the few trucks that served North Indian food and not Chin-Indian food.

Give these guys a shot, thank me later!

Catch the tasteful Mediterranean cuisine at Amuse House, New Delhi

The food goes beyond my imagination.

Amuse House, a European Bistro, gives out a subtle vibe of European spring. Catch the tasteful Mediterranean cuisine at Amuse House - located at Ansal Plaza, Khel Goan #SouthDelhi

     

I have introduced myself to a lot of unexplored Mediterranean dishes. The best part is they have amazing drinks to pair with and bread basket to start with!!

We started with a heady concoction i.e Amusetini(Bourbon Whiskey, cranberry marmalade, egg served with caramel Popcorn) and Refreshing Kiwi Kulama (Vodka with fresh Kiwi , fresh cucumber, citrus & gomme).

For the Non-alcoholics, Vit -C (fresh orange juice with rocksalt, citrus and roasted cumin) , B-Thirsty(Fresh orange juice, beetroot and edible flower) 

and Pomegranate Lemonade was the perfect pick.

We nibbled some Mediterranean classics i.e Hummus & Pita and some Falafels and not to miss- the Chicken and Mushroom Bourak, Chicken Liver Pete.

We had lamd chops and pork belly and they were hands-down phenomenal. Also, Mexican stuffed bell peppers served to be a good vegetarian snack.

Apart from usual hackney picks of meat, paneer or mushrooms, and despite the law of diminishing marginal utility (in this case, the menu) I still found myself diving with great enthusiasm into Cream Cheese served with soaked Beetroot glazed with freshly squeezed orange juice - something to drool for.

Still saving some space for mains, the linguini Pasta is worth to bent for while risotto cooked with barley was decent.

The food, texture and the presentation shipped my taste buds to a new high. Many of the ingredients were imported, the meat to the spices, in preference of keeping the originality. Amuse house serves the most authentic Mediterranean food you would ever taste - right in the heart of New Delhi!

We ended out of Mediterranean Food exploration with the #MedBox - consisting of different Sweets included the most famed - baklava.

PS: In an abrasive and hectic city like Delhi, this is a sanctuary of the first order with a cozy vibe that is hard to resist and so easy to slip into, comfort food with big bold flavours and a chirpy vibe. I’m definitely heading back to treat my taste buds, again.

No doubt, Rajouri is rapidly becoming apart from an upmarket residential area - a district with many awesome restaurants and cafés – including Meal-o-drama.

This place has a live kitchen, which makes it interesting for patrons to excite themselves to see the food being cooked. This place gonna bind you in its comfortable, chic and intimate environment.

This place also offers some great and heady mixes in liquors and cocktails. After a brief conversation with the owner, I get to know that their whole focus is on Drinks and music to give their patrons a moment of zenith. If you yet convinced, then you will be surely amazed at the brilliant Hookahs that they serve. Right from order placement, the hookah guy is suggestive and churns out your expected flavor. Being an indoor seating with Hookah, this can make some of you uncomfortable with the smoke.

Coming to the food, I started my course with Budapest Soup made out of Tuscan stock. Then we moved ahead with many rounds of starters, Speaking about the options and varieties, they have it all. From Indian starters to fiery Chinese, to the elegant Continental and Italian, this place has a very elaborate menu that gonna spoil you for choices.

Some of the options in appetizers include Mealoo Dahi Kebab,Round Mealoround Paneer Tikka, Afro Chicken tikka, Cigars Rolls, Chettinad Dynmites (prawns), Peri Peri Fish Tikka, Atpata Chicken (authentic Jalandhari Type roasted chicken, corn & Cheese masala balls, chicken wings, fish fingers, Crispy fungi, char grilled Peshawari lamb, chicken 65 & many more which I have forgotten. Looking at the long list of recommendations, you might be surprised but this is just a few dishes from their appetizers menu.

After washing down tons of appetizers with my drink, we called for a limited Main course dishes that were suggested by the manager himself. We treated ourselves with Arabita Pasta – which was quite average, Dal Makhani, Mutton Roganjosh, Islamabadi Murg makhani with assorted breads from Indian fare. The Indian Course was just fantastic. Another Highlight was the Schezwan pan fried noodles from Chinese fare and Brick Chicken from the continental.

There were so many other dishes on another table as well and being a Legit Human, I only managed to try, eat & suggest all this. Overall, Meal-o-drama was fun and it was a hell of a bloggers meet. The session concluded by a nice round of dance session and each guest was given an exclusive hamper with Melodrama exclusive merchandise and A bottle or York Wine.

For starters, they have some impressive Achari Paneer Tikka, Kurkure Paneer, Chatpatey Honey Aloo and Tikka momos for vegetarians and prawns koliwada, Tikka supreme, lamb roti kebab, Patiala fry chicken for non-vegetarians.

For mains, I have tried Angrezon Da Chicken Tikka and Mummy-di-Dal that is served with complementary coin paratha or your choice of bread.

The biryani was quite decent and a little dry, not one you will commonly find in Mumbai.

Overall, I will recommend this place for the Dhaba style Experience with Punjabi Music, Inviting Ambience & Amazing Concoctions of Mocktails & Cocktails with adecent fare of North Indian Delicacies.

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 !!

Yes, I have found authentic Keralan food in Mumbai, Head to 'Lalit Refreshment - Taste of Kerala' for a warm and comforting lunch.

Mumbai has various options tucked in various places that are not known to too many people.

Lalit refreshments- Taste of Kerala is one such hidden gem located in narrow alleys of Fort.

                                               

This is a casual dining place serving Vegetarian and Non- Vegetarian Keralan cuisine.  This place is often seen buzzing during lunch hours, as people working in nearby offices savor the best of the Keralan cuisine and a value for money option for lunch. And just as another crowded lunch joint you may have to share your table.

When I visited this place I was somewhat new to Keralan cuisine, but I am excited to  say that the staff helped me with ordering my food. The Service is very fast and the staff is active and helped me explaining many dishes while I was exploring the menu.

Condinments

People swear by the fresh fish fry and other sea-food delicacies here. The sight and smell of the food on the other tables delighted me for the gastronomical journey ahead.

As I want to take my tongue for a ride, I ordered for Chicken Malabar, Chicken sukkha, Malabar Paratha and Appams.

And ended it with a complementary cup of payasum.

Malabar Chicken & Parotta

The food was up to the expectations, the chicken sukkha was hot and spices with bang of flavors. The chicken Malabar was cooked perfectly in a creamy gravy with grounded Masalas. It goes best with parotha, specifically the south Indian version i.e Malabar Parotha. This layered flaky flat bread is the highlight of our meal.

This place is good for your wallet. As I was on a solitary trip and ate like a starved soul, the bill didn't cross INR 350.

Payasam

This place can be found easily on Google maps and zomato.

Ps - Keen to try the traditional Kerala thali.

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.

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

Mango Pulse

Speaking about the food, there are a lot of options to choose from and so we ordered as per Servers recommendations. We have tried 'Andar kuch Bahar kuch',  ‘Belstone Sandwich’, Tawa Pav Bhaji & Paneer shashlik sizzler.

Belstone Sandwich

The food to the most part is great. But they have added few dishes in their new menu, which needs a little overhaul. We loved everything that was served and quite surprised after looking at the amazing presentation of 'tawa pav Bhaji'( a must try).

Paneer Shashlik Sizzler

Vanilla with chunks of brownie

PS – Definitely a hot-spot for all vegetarians and Jains, and place to be experienced once !!
