Sapphire Vegetarian Restaurant

Casual Dining Chinese Italian Mexican Multi-cuisine North Indian

November 28, 2017

Sapphire vegetarian restaurant is located in The Emerald hotel in Juhu.

You will find a wide variety of dishes across cuisines at Sapphire Vegetarian Restaurant. This includes Mexican, Italian and even Greek food!

I recently visited this place and here is what I tried:

Manchow Soup

For me a good manchow soup is one that has the intense hot flavour from garlic and ginger. This one kind of lacked that. Also the fried noodles served with the soup had a slightly off taste – the kind that is when you have when the items are a little beyond their shelf life.

Veg Crispy

This is an extremely appetising Chinese starter. It’s fried vegetables coated with maida and sweet and spicy sauces. Again this lacked that zingy taste and honestly the vegetables weren’t crispy at all.

Hara Bhara Kebabs

These made up for everything! The Hara Bhara Kebabs at Sapphire are a must have.

Sugarcane Juice

They actually serve really good, fresh sugarcane juice. It’s got some ginger and lime which I love in a sugarcane juice. A welcome change from the over sweet fruit juices and artificial syrups that everyone serves.

Masala Papad

Nothing like deep fried, crunchy papad with tons of tomato and onion and chilli powder!

Veg Subz Biryani

Fried onion, carrots, peas, french beans, paneer and corn – all of these and the fragrant rice made for a pretty decent biryani. It’s served with some vegetable raita.

Gulab Jamun

These were indeed delicious. The perfect texture and taste.

If you visit Sapphire Vegetarian Restaurant, I’d recommend trying Indian versus Chinese food. I personally preferred it more. And definitely indulge in their Hara Bhara Kebabs. They are perfection!

I hope this review was helpful. Stay tuned for my next post.

Sunday Brunch at The JW SAHAR Mumbai

Bar Cafe Chaat Continental Dessert Fine Dining Ice Cream Mexican Vlogs

November 21, 2017

I’ve been to JW Sahar on multiple occasions; but this time was special as I was visiting them for their Sunday Brunch.

JW Sahar is known to have one of the best (and also the priciest) Sunday Brunches in the city. It starts at Rs.2700+ and the various pricing options include mocktails, alcohol and champagne respectively.

To give you a glimpse of the whole brunch buffet, I have this video. Do watch it and subscribe to my Youtube channel for more video content.

Out of all the delicious food at the brunch, here are a few things that I tried and loved.

Chaat

The brunch has an entire section dedicated to chaat and you will find so many different things – Palak Patta Chaat, Samosa, Dabeli, Ragda Pattice, Pani Puri, Dahi Papdi and lots more. If you love chaat then definitely indulge!

Pasta

Pick and choose your sauce and veggies or ask a special recommendation from the Chef – the Pasta at JW Sahar doesn’t disappoint. Since this brunch happened to be a Thanksgiving themed one, I got to try their Pumpkin Ravioli. The feel of butter in this was just out of this world. I also indulged in the classic Arrabiata and it was the perfect tangy flavor.

Tex Mex

I love my tex mex so I indulged in some nachos and also some Quesadilla.

Indian Main Course

The one thing that stood out for me in the main course was their Dal Makhani. This was the first time I actually tried it and boy was it good! Creamy, flavorful and very comforting. I also tried the Chhole, Biryani and the Papad variety.

If you saw the video, then you’d know that the brunch is massive. Apart from the food mentioned above, you also find a whole section dedicated to Cheese, greens and fresh salad, sushi and Japanese cuisine, Thai food, cold-cuts, sea food and lots more.

But the section that completely stole my heart was the Dessert.

You can see the huge variety in this section right from the time you enter JW Cafe. And it’s honestly so beautifully arranged and presented that a part of you would definitely want to pick something up right away. Liqueur filled chocolate bars, cakes, pastries, Indian mithai variety – you will find all of this here! It’s such a massive spread. And it’s not just the quantity of dessert; it’s also the presentation. I mean I’ve seen some of the prettiest looking cupcakes here.

Even the Waffle and Pancake station is such a hit. They are undoubtedly one of the best waffles you will find in the city. And you choose an array of toppings – sauces, fruits, sprinkles, brownies, fruit syrups and what not. Enjoy these plain or with some ice cream to finish off a super lavish meal.

So that was it from my visit to the JW Sahar Sunday Brunch. Definitely visit and share your experience with me. And do keep extra room for dessert!

Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for my next post.

Did Mumbai Just Find It’s Chipotle?

Mexican

April 13, 2017

Mexican Express, a cute joint in Khar serves you American ‘Chipotle’ style food. You can have tortillas, tacos and also the Burrito Bowl here.

Bandra-Khar area is filled with tonnes of tiny but drool worthy places. And Mexican Express completely fits that bill. It’s cozy, serves delicious food and it did remind me of my time in Chipotle from my travel to America. Chipotle is a quick-meal joint and serves Mexican food at a pretty reasonable price. Compared to other chains, it’s healthier and also has a good amount of vegetarian options.

I tried a whole lot of things at Mexican Express and here’s what I feel you need to have:

Black Bean and Corn Tacos

Crisp tacos with a delicious filling. The filling consists of salsa, guacamole, cheese and salad and of course Black Beans! Really good flavor, albeit a tiny bit spicy.

Burrito Bowl

This is what I would eat at Chipotle so I was really keen to try it out here. And I wasn’t disappointed at all!

Chips and Salsa

Mildly flavored chips and some salsa. I do feel that the salsa could have been a little more tangy.

Quesadilla with Fajita Vegetables

This is filled with a ton of cheese and veggies.

Churros

I ended this Mexican affair with some freshly done churros and these were really good.

I do recommend trying out Mexican Express. There are very few Mexican outlets in the city that go out of their way to try and get a particular level of Mexican food here. And these guys are definitely serving some good food. And it’s amazing to know that they started out as a pop-up in exhibitions and popular events and have now set up their own eatery. So do go ahead and give them a try.

P.S. -I couldn’t help but notice how similar their logo is to Chipotle!

Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for my next post. XOXO!
