MADRAS DIARIES | Spicy South Indian Food

December 10, 2017

Madras Diaries recently opened in Bandra and offers some traditional South Indian delicacies and also some interesting specials.

Chilled out vibe and good food is how I describe my experience at Madras Diaries. Check out this video from my visit there.

Here’s what I ate at Madras Diaries

Jalapeno Cheese Idlis

Fried mini idlis with bits of jalapeno. These were served with a cheesy dip. The idlis were fried to perfection – perfectly crunchy and the jalapeno bits did add a little edgy flavor.

Kara Paniyaram

Paniyarams tossed with onion, chillies and molga podi. So this was extremely spicy because there was tonnes of molga podi. But it was quite delicious.

Navadhanya Idli

Made with 9 different grains, these idlis honestly felt almost as soft as regular idlis. And they had a little tadka in the centre – curry leaves, mustard seeds, cumin seeds. This tasted quite amazing with the sambhar.

Puliyogare

Served with pickle and rice papad, this is one of the tastiest Puliyogare I’ve tried. Such a pronounced tamarind flavor. Absolutely must order this.

Mysore Masala Dosa

A huge, crispy dosa stuffed with potato and a spicy garlic chutney.

Masala Buttermilk

A spiced chaas – has a nice flavor from the mint and pepper in it.

Spiced Lemon with Basil Seed

A lemonade spiced with chillies – literally! This one is way too spicy.

Filter Coffee

This one didn’t really please me.

I quite enjoyed my visit to Madras Diaries. You can definitely visit for a non-udipi South Indian experience. Their food is pretty good. There were somethings which were a tad bit spicy for me, but overall I was quite happy with what I ate. One of the other things that looked interesting on their menu was the thali. I’ll definitely be trying that next time.

I hope this review was helpful. Stay tuned for more.

PAV-O-LICIOUS Review

Street Food

December 8, 2017

Craving some deliciously stuffed Pavs? Try PAVOLICIOUS!

PAVOLICIOUS offers vegetarian and non-vegetarian fillings inside Pav – a traditional Indian bun. They offer just this, and in my opinion do a really good job.

If you’re vegetarian, then here’s what you should try from PAVOLICIOUS.

Paneer Tikka Pav

A deliciously marinated paneer tikka, inside a fresh, soft Pav. In spite of being a tad bit spicy, I enjoyed this.

Aloo Achari Pav

The flavor of tandoori aloo and onion in a Pav can be anything but ordinary.

Nutella Pav

Need I say more! Nutella and soft Pav is such a delightful combination.

PAVOLICIOUS is a good option if you are looking for a quick, yet filling meal. Each portion serves about 2 pieces of huge pavs and they are also very generous with their stuffing quantity. The PAV isn’t toasted and this is a good judgement area for the freshness of the Pav. Also I feel toasting it would kill the experience. they currently deliver in and around areas of Worli.

I highly recommend trying out PAVOLICIOUS.

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

Pizza

December 8, 2017

Find exclusive Dominos Offers on GoPaisa

In 1960, Tom Monaghan along with his brother James purchased a small pizza store and named it DomiNick’s, which later became immensely popular with the name Domino’s. Domino’s is an American pizza restaurant chain headquartered in Michigan, United States. In India, it was first introduced in the year 1996 with the first outlet in Bengaluru. Since then, people’s love for pizza knows no bounds. Pizza has now become the most favored snack in India and all credit goes to brands like Domino’s. And that is the reason, it is one of the India’s largest and fastest growing food service company, with a network of 13,800 Domino’s Pizza restaurants including more than 5,000 outlets outside the United States. In India, Domino’s celebrated it’s another big accomplishment of opening its 1000th store in 2016. There were huge Dominos Offers out to the public to mark this occasion as a special one. Along with the kind of popularity, Domino’s enjoys owing to its delicious taste and good quality ingredients, the franchise is also dedicated towards the welfare of the society by helping pizza makers and pizza takers to become independent business owners. Although this story more or less is concerned for the Americans, the step is still appreciated. Some of the most successful Domino’s franchise owners began their career as delivery experts, customer service representatives, or pizza makers in their own communities. In 1973, Domino’s came with a new and interesting concept of “get your pizza in 30 minutes or free”. This step was taken as a new milestone in the food delivery industry. However, the same was discontinued in next few years owing to their failure in fulfilling their promise. With time, this became the USP of Domino’s and with certain terms and conditions they re-introduced the same offer. Dominos Coupons are another feature introduced by them to lure customers. These coupons help consumers to save few extra bucks from their pocket. Also, it also gives the retailer a chance to analyze the market trait. Similarly, there were other interesting Domino’s Offers out and about for the consumers to make the most of their money and appetite. These offers and coupons helped Domino’s a lot to attract customers. There were a lot many deals in the market which were offered by Domino’s. They even made a pattern and started to release offers on particular days of the week. These offers either reached out claiming that you can “get Pizza with up to 50% off” or even “Buy one get one free”. This turned out as a great boon in the diet plan of Indians and they inculcated pizza in their regular diet. Also, with passage of time and increasing love for pizza, there came another boost in the market with Dominos Coupons on online order from their website. People could not stop rejoicing about the fact that they can now get their favourite pizzas at such an affordable price. These coupons are available on Domino’s website and can be used for making orders online.

SUDAMA Pure Veg Restaurant | Review

Casual Dining Multi-cuisine

November 30, 2017

Sudama Pure Veg is located in Krishna Palace Hotel in Mumbai.

Known for it’s creamy gravies and masala chai, Sudama Pure Veg definitely gets a lot of things right from it’s vast menu.

I recently visited Sudama Pure Veg and tried a whole bunch of things. Here’s what I had:

Oriental Soup

This was from their Asian menu and had a mix of tomato and hot chilli flavor to it. It also had some veggies inside like baby corn, cabbage and broccoli. It’s a bit on the spicier side.

Broccoli Almond Soup

It’s got a very raw taste from broccoli. And is strictly for someone who enjoys that vegetable! It is super creamy in texture, but the taste didn’t quite work for me.

Chilli Cheese Toast

This was perfection! It’s been a while since I had such good Chilli Cheese Toast and I highly recommend this to anyone visiting the place.

Dragon Paneer

Fried paneer chunks coated with a delicious sauce. It also had loads of garlic and that along with the sauce made for a very tasty dish.

Veg Tava Roll

A fried vegetable roll in a spinach and mint gravy. Quite a different dish! It almost feels like hara bhara kebab with creamy spinach gravy over it. It does taste quite nice.

Subzi Chilli Milli

Mix veggies in 2 gravies – one is more on the sweeter side and the other is spicy. I personally loved the sweet gravy.

Birbal-E-Paneer

Paneer chunks in a rich and creamy, onion tomato gravy. Neither is it too sweet nor too spicy.

I relished the subzis with an assorted bread basket of rotis, kulchas and parathas.

Chocolate Bomb

Finally for dessert I tried their Chocolate Bomb. This isn’t just delicious to eat, but also fun to watch. It’s basically a whole ball of chocolate which totally crumbles right in front of you.

I also tried their Masala Chai. Very strong and good flavor. And in mocktails I tried their Blackcurrant Pop and Yuzu Tree.

I recommend trying out Sudama Pure Veg. Their food is quite good and so is the quantity.

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

The Koffee Works, Chembur

Cafe

November 29, 2017

The Koffee Works is easily one of the cutest cafes I’ve seen.

The newest outlet of The Koffee Works is in Chembur and they do have some new additions to their menu. Their initial outlet is in Vashi.

On my last visit to The Koffee Works, I ended up tried a lot more than just coffee.

Here’s a video and tour from my last visit to The Koffee Works

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

Spicy Paneer Sandwich

A very homestyle toast stuffed with a delicious and of course, spicy paneer filling. Freshly toasted, this makes for a perfect savoury accompaniment with chai or coffee.

Choco Vivo

If like me you love your dessert, then order for this Chocolate Vivo pastry. I personally prefer a slightly warmed up version of this, so I ask them to heat it up. It’s such a perfect, creamy-moussey-gooey pastry.

Irish Coffee

This is beautifully done. The coffee is the perfect amount of sweet and very generously topped with whipped cream.

Caffe Latte

A very indulgent cup of coffee – if you love a good creamy cup then do order this. Their coffee is extremely flavorful and is in fact procured in tea estates which are actually owned by The Koffee Works.

Definitely check out their chocolate box – very interesting handmade chocolates.

Apart from good coffee, you can totally relax and chill in this really cozy place. It’s quite a pretty looking cafe! Their couches and tall stool seating set up is indeed very inviting.

So if you’re in Chembur or even Vashi for that matte, do visit The Koffee Works and indulge in some good coffee. Cute cafes make for great experiences and this one is no exception.

I hope this review was helpful. Do stay tuned for more posts.

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!

The Bowl Box | Review

Home Delivery

November 27, 2017

T he Bowl Box is a new delivery kitchen based out of Mahim.

Owned by the group behind the famous eateries in the Mahim-Shivaji Park area, The Bowl Box brings quick meal options via home delivery. The other eateries include Quarter House, Open House and Sizzle House.

The Bowl Box offers meal boxes across various cuisines. So you can find Asian, Indian, Italian and Mediterranean boxes. They also have one bowl meals which are really good option for a quick and easy meal while you’re on the go. So you can choose from a rice and gravy combo, meals like Dal Khichdi, pasta and lots more in these bowls. They also have pizza, rolls, salad bowls and special kids meals boxes.

I tried a few things from the The Bowl Box recently.

Dal Khichdi Bowl

A very strong flavor from garlic, this khichdi is comfort food material. Hot and spicy! Quantity wise it is good for 2 people. Only hitch is that I found it a tad bit greasy.

Mexican Rice Bowl

If you love tomato flavored rice, then you will enjoy this. It’s got a tangy and sweet feel and is loaded with corn, peppers and nacho chips. I didn’t enjoy this too much – the tomato flavor was a bit much for my liking.

Paneer Butter Masala Box

This was the whole meal box. Included jeera rice, naan, dal tadka, paneer gravy, cucumber-beetroot-carrot salad and a piece of brownie. I enjoyed this box the most. The paneer was tasty and the dal was quite well done.

The Bowl Box delivers in areas in and around Mahim. So if you are in the area, you could try them out. I would definitely be keen to try more stuff from them.

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

1Tablespoon Pizza Kitchen Review

Home Delivery Ice Cream Pizza

November 26, 2017

If I were to pick just one pizza place for life, it would have to be 1Tablespoon Pizza Kitchen!

Right from the crust to the sauce, 1Tablespoon Pizza Kitchen gets everything right. Keep reading to see what I ate during my last order from here.

Not Complicated

Tomato sauce, mozzarella, dry oregano and sliced garlic. This is a yummier version of a basic margherita style pizza. I always order their artisanal crusts – I personally enjoy them a lot more than thin crusts, during home delivery. The beauty of this pizza is the tomato sauce. And the strong garlic flavor just takes the experience to another level. Order this if you are craving something simple, yet delish!

Hot Pepper Farm

This one is a spicy one. Jalapeno, red chillies, bell peppers, tomato sauce and mozzarella. If you enjoy a spicier pizza, then try this.

Garlic Bread

This is so generously buttered. And it also has a little bit of Mozzarella which makes it even butter.

They even have homemade ice cream and I’ve tried 2 flavors – Hazelnut & Caramel Peanut Butter. I absolutely love their Hazelnut – it is so creamy.

1Tablespoon Pizza Kitchen is currently located in Lower Parel and Matunga. They are going to open their 3rd outlet soon. But if you are in these areas, then you should definitely give them a visit. They serve Pizza by the slice and also full portions. Apart from Pizza, you will also find soup, pasta, milkshakes etc in their outlets. You can try them out either via home delivery or visit their outlets. I personally am a regular customer for them. I usually end up ordering their Margherita slice quite often. Their pricing is a tad bit more expensive than other Pizza places, but their quality makes them worth the extra money.

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

FLYP@MTV | Review

Bar Casual Dining

November 23, 2017

The first FLYP@MTV launched in Mumbai in Kamala Mills (Oasis City).

A co-working space that turns into a hip club, FLYP@MTV is indeed worth a visit. Spread over a fairly huge place, they even have a stage area for gigs and already have names like Nikhil Chinappa performing there. The interiors definitely feel more upscale as compared to the super grunge looking bars. They have well finished wooden seating ranging from smaller 4 seaters to longish community tables. If you prefer a more private set up then you can check out their enclosed seating which has super comfortable couches. Their bar section looks lit and they even an outdoor section where they willl be serving sheesha. They also have a pretty cool bar van in their outside seating area.

FLYP@MTV serves a variety of specialities and all of these have been put together by Chef Ranveer Brar. Interesting mix of flavors and textures is definitely something you can expect here.

Here’s all of the dishes I tried at FLYP@MTV

Roast Melon and Quinoa Salad

Watermelon and arugula is one of my most favorite combinations. Soft watermelon with its inherent sweetness and the bitterness from the arugula leaves is mellowed down with creamy cheese and the light olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing. What adds to the texture is the sprinkle of crispy quinoa on top.

Dahi Ke Kebab

These are not the melt in your mouth soft kind of kebabs, but in fact have a little crunch to them. They come with a rasgulla kachumber on the side which was exceptional – sweet rasgulla pieces along with spiced boiled potato, tomato, onion and coriander. Alternating flavors really felt good in this.

Smokey Paneer Tikka

Soft paneer chunks marinated with Chipotle sauce and spices lead to a super fiery taste. It even has an apparent hot ginger flavor going on. It’s spicy, but delicious!

Tandoori Dhokla

Slight sour and sweet taste from khaman with a charred smoky flavor. This is quite a unique dish! And its topped with patra bits, onion, capsicum and a curry leaf foam which has such a distinctive taste.

Curried Mac n Cheese

Mac n Cheese with a hint of curry leaf flavor. It’s a very interesting dish and is served with herbed toast on the side.

Philadelphia Cheese Cake topped with French Biscotti

A classic cheesecake with a crunchy texture – this one is a surprise honestly! It’s got raspberry coule, chocolate noodles and vanilla pastry cream on the side. The raspberry coule adds a good tarty edge to the subtle taste. Even the chocolate noodles add to the crunchy texture.

Tuesday Wali Drink

I sipped on this all through my meal. It had a sweet flavor from lychee and a sour feel from cranberry. And it also had some ginger bits that took the drink to another level.

I quite enjoyed the food at FLYP@MTV. You can get a variety of interesting finger food and appetizers, pasta, pizza, ramen bowls, Indian meals and lots more. Do check out the place. It’s perfect for ‘flyp’ping from work to party in no time!
