Icekraft, Oshiwara.

This place has added a new aspect to ice-creams – surprising our taste buds with customised make yourself flavours. Plus, it’s not only a ice-cream parlour, it’s a dessert parlour cum small eateries with choice of waffles, sandwiches, Churros & salad. But the mainstay is their Stone Cold Ice Creams and other scrumptious desserts – pancakes, churros & waffles.

Ice Creams - People like their ice-creams to be easy and quick but icekraft does completely opposite of this. Firstly you have to choose from few rhetorical overused bases and then add toppings to make it look and taste better. As there are chances that you end up making a weird concoction. But once you are sure about how you want your ice-cream with all the sauces and toppings then this place will not let you down.
Since your ice-cream is made on your demand, people have to wait a lot. Sadly ice-cream was less than what was expected.
Waffles, Churros and Pancakes – The churros waffle topped with marshmallows, whipped cream and maple syrup was the star.  I have tried the Red Velvet Waffle and loved it. The waffles and pancakes will not disappoint you either and priced very sensibly. They are worth coming back for.
Moreover, the space is too compact - there was more space for staff than customers. Being a small joint, they managed a little space for seating by adding an entresol. And they have a small live kitchen counter and that smell of kitchen adds to the disappointment.

Absolute Chocolate













These few things made my experience at icekraft a little underwhelming.
But it also had few positives, like the concept itself is good but still in a very under nurtured stage.  And the staff was quite friendly and hungry for feedback.
To sum it up you should go there when you have enough time and energy to put on ice-creams as it is a decent effort to add different aspects to ice-creams. And if not ice-cream, you can visit this place for other desserts or a quick bite.

PS – I haven’t tried their sandwiches and pasta but at the price tag like these they are going to be the steal deals.

Sardar Pav Bhaji, Tardeo


Craving for some Pav Bhaji, then Splurge in the AMUL Pav Bhaji with loads of buttery goodness at Sardar refreshments, Tardeo.

You must have had butter chicken, daal makhani, paneer makhani and many other Punjabi dishes packed with butter and ghee. I Guess that's the story with Sardar ki pav bhaji.
     
















An amazingly tasting bhaji with pav done in Amul butter explains why people were standing in a queue for hours.Raving all the time, with the waiting period for more than 30 mins.

One of the best Pav bhaji in Mumbai


















The pav bhaji is loaded with butter and that’s what sets this place apart.
I surely can’t say that it’s the best Pav bhaji. Well it’s a debatable topic but surely one of the iconic joint. Hot piping Pav bhaji with pavs dipped in butter will surely make you indulge in every bite.
Though some feel that taste of butter supersede spicy and tanginess of the bhaji but the buttery Goodness adds another flavourful concoction to it.

Apart from Pav Bhaji’s, several Juices and milkshake are available to accompany with.
Mango Milkshake

Looking at the long waiting line you can always opt for Thermacol plates and sit in your car or near the car to enjoy this scrumptious pav bhaji.

The Special Pan's embarks the best end to the sinful experience.

Special Dry Fruit Pan

Though its raving popularity, it has kept its price quite reasonable and competitive.

PS- if you are calorie conscious, Stay away from this place.

Pizza Box, Vile Parle(E)

A quaint little pizza joint tucked on Hanuman Road,Vile Parle (E).
My first interaction with this brand happened in Dec 2014, at a college festival in Juhu and the Recent interaction with Pizza Box happened to be on my complimentary visit from zomato and all these times, Pizza box has never disappointed me.

I must say they are a perfectionist in thin crust. Their thin crust goes perfectly well with their elegant toppings. This time I have tried their multi-grain thin crust pizza and it did take a lot of time to be served but definitely worth the wait. And the best part is that while I was inquiring about the delays, the staff assured me that they make fresh dough and have informed the same while placing the order.
I am completely in love with their Barbeque paneer and garlicky mushroom pizza - what a brilliant concoction and the pepperoni Cheese pizza.
BBQ paneer & Mushroom Pizza

The paneer and chicken Stromboli couldn't be given a miss as the marinated proteins with cheese wrapped in bread are rich in flavour and are served with an amazing salsa which adds more flavours to it.
The chicken pizza cones are good but the veg ones can totally be avoided as the vegetable give a raw taste.
The place is small with indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor seating though only have 3 table, but the setting is very sophisticated and comfortable with a colour combination of white and red.
An amazing place to quench your pizza cravings with simplistic and elegant toppings.
PS - It is sometimes difficult to find a table.

This place is on my favourites from last 4 year and the  food never disappointed me,  be it Chinese or Indian. They have a vast menu and every dish is worth to die for.



I am regular at their outlet which is at Juhu Gymkhana but this outlet at Juhu is also at par.
If you know anyone who is a member of Juhu Gymkhana then you can visit the other restaurant.







The portion size is good and you will be offered salad and Potatoes skins or Cheese lings to keep your hungry tummy entertained till you order arrives.
Chicken Angara


The Malaysian Soup is amazing - a brilliant concoction of coconut milk and mild Thai spices with exquisite flavour.
The starter are brilliantly done and they perfect preparation makes then STAND OUT!!!



Kung Pao Chicken
The chicken Angara is served in an actual mini Tandoor. The chicken Alishan is a brilliant combination of lightly spiced tikka and cheese.

Now moving on to main course, I love having the Garlic naan with anything in Non-veg .

The tender and sucullent pieces of chicken in rich and sublime array of curries they offer are worth going back for. Every curry goes beautifully with the Indian breads and gives the perfect taste.


While the food was being served, the staff was very kind and courteous and provid you with all the information regarding the ingredients in the dishes. Well that is very impressive.

PS - Its a perfect Feast to tickle your palette.
