Bloggers Meet at Meal-o-drama, Rajouri !! What Happened and all the buzz and The FOOD

After so many clubs & lounges in HKV & Khan Market, Rajouri Garden is the next buzzing area for happening evenings, Weekends chilling and those dinner dates.

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 is for the recent Blogger’s Meet held at Melodrama – that was attended by prominent food blogger & critics of Delhi – NCR. And speaking about the Blogger’s meet, I couldn't have hoped for a better event in terms of the company and the atmosphere - the fun, dance and pictures here speak for themselves.

Meal-o-drama was first started as an all day café cum Lounge. Located on the first floor, it offers a plethora of dining options with mindful and innovative varieties of starters, appetizers & main course – influenced from Indian, Chinese, continental, Italian and a bit of Mexican – so you are surely gonna be spoil for your choice. 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.

The Yummiest Veg Cuisine and a view to die for with Rooftop- Poolside restaurant & sunset view : Patch of Sky, Mumbai

Patch of Sky entered Mumbai's dining scene with a Rooftop -Swimming pool to stand out from the pack. Yes, you have heard right - Its a vegetarian rooftop restaurant with a cozy pool around - A mix of casual & Fine Dining, the poolside restaurant with a sunset view, that will surely give you #CanItGetBetter experience.

                             

Patch of sky is the perfect destination if you are looking out for a calm evening with ambience set around nature & its elements. It will make you feel like you are on a vacation in a luxury resort. Being a roof-top restaurant, they have missed out on sheeshas but that is compensated by the real good food.

The cocktails here are simply very subtle, we had an opportunity to try  ‘ Star of Aureole’ and ‘Planet martini’ , I must say, they were well made with the balanced amount of Liquors and mixers. The mixes and concoctions will surely make you come back for me. Other best thing is the collection of Wine they serve you along with the spectacular view.

For appetizers they have elaborate option with some Indian, chinese and European dishes. The variety of delicious appetizers will leave you satiated.

 We opted to try most of the starters and totally fell in love with 'Duo of cheese stuffed panko crushed mushrooms'. Red harissa marinated cottage cheese absolutely melted in the mouth, and the nachos served alongside it was a perfect crunchy little thing.

On the day of our visit, it was raining and we were enjoying monsoons a inch closer, The Traditional Manchow soup made it for the perfect Appetisers. The soup was rich and extremely Flavourful.

Next up was a beautiful bowl of Thai Inspired Green Curry. The vegies in the curry were very fresh, as balanced out with the exotic flavours. Unfortunately, our sizzler I.e ‘Mexican Delight’ was a pile of veggies and rice, didn’t have the Mexican flavours and texture we were looking forward to.

The Mega Chocolate Balloon, Chef's creation, was a treat for our taste buds – and Instagram. I’ve never had anything quite like this before. Marshmallows, Choco chips, Chocos, and Brownie were topped with generous amounts of hot chocolate. This was a sinful treat that focused on out of the world experience.

Ps - A perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine and scrumptious food. This place is perfect for friends and family outing, dinner or brunch.
