Did Mumbai Just Find It’s Chipotle?

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!

Garde Manger Cafe – Healthy and Delicious!

Cafe

January 2, 2017

Garde Manger Cafe is a newly opened, cute and cozy cafe serving healthy yet delicious food. They have a pretty interesting menu which includes a whole lot of interesting dishes that are kind of altered with healthy ingredients. And the cozy interiors make the place feel even more inviting.

I tried out Garde Manger Cafe and really loved their food. I am not so much of a healthy eater, but their stuff was definitely a delight. So here’s everything that I recommend having at Garde Manger Cafe.

Mumbai Local

It’s literally bhelpuri made from chickpea, arugula leaves, paneer cubes and also has the regular ingredients like kurmuram, chopped onion and tomato. And chutneys added on top too – date and tamarind which is amazingly sweet and mint and coriander which adds that little chatpata flavor. Served in cute cones.

Roasted Tomato and Basil Soup

This soup is as healthy as it gets – tomato soup, with the pulp and a little basil flavor. All good!

Zesty Quinoa Salad

When wholesome Quinoa, lettuce, tomatoes, black beans mix with a fresh lemon vinaigrette, the salad ends up being super delicious. Full justice done to the name!

Cous Cous Upma

Cous Cous that has been tempered with some curry leaves, some mustard seeds and some chopped tomato. And some Indian spices. Definitely a super healthy but tasty option.

Black Rice Salad

I didn’t know black rice could be so delicious! This one’s topped with some serious veggies – bell peppers, tomato, red Cabbage, capers, green olives. And of course this too has that bursting lemon vinaigrette flavour going on.

Italian Caprese

This is Bocconccini cheese, cherry tomatoes, basil in a mix of balsamic vinegar and pesto. A dish of alternating flavors and the cheese is really good!

Chickpeas and Walnut Banana Pie

Warm and comforting! This is made from chickpea, banana and topped with walnuts. Definitely try this if you’re craving some warm sweet goodness.

Belgian Waffle

A whole grain waffle – yes that’s right. So may be a little less guilt. Drizzled generously with Nutella, dark chocolate and milk chocolate.
Muesli Peanut Butter Smoothie

Peanut butter smoothie with crunchy muesli. If you love your peanut butter, you may want to try this version of it too.
Anti Oxidant Smoothie

A glass of this and you end up feeling super fresh. It’s got mint, banana, apple juice and basil.

So these are my favorites from Garde Manger Cafe. Do try them out. They are located in Vileparle E.

Icekraft Oshiwara – Waffles, savories and freshly rolled Ice Cream!

Dessert Ice Cream

December 23, 2016

Icekraft Oshiwara has totally caught my eye – there’s something about freshly rolled ice cream that I absolutely enjoy. Not only ice creams, but even their savories, waffles, freakshakes are an absolute delight.

I tried many different things at Icekraft Oshiwara and quite enjoyed all of it. You can take a look at all the delicious stuff i gorged on while i was there:

To be absolutely honest, I loved everything I had. Fresh and tasty. Take a look!

Overall, everything was really good at Icekraft Oshiwara. The savories are fresh and that itself becomes a major distinguishing factor as compared to several other eateries that serve frozen and merely reheated food.

The waffles are perfectly crunchy and that is super important in the eggless variety. They are a little spongy but honestly that didn’t matter to me. And the toppings are generous and how! The quantity of chocolate chips and nutella is seriously wow!

The ice creams are rolled right in front of you. No artificial flavor or syrups are used. Fruits used are fresh. And their flavor comes through really well. There’s also a massive selection of toppings so you can choose from sprinkles, to fruits, to cereal and so much more.

I highly recommend this place. If, like me you are a vegetarian then you will truly appreciate the variety one can get here. Check them out and also let them know that I sent you 🙂

I hope you enjoyed reading and also watching the video. Definitely hit a subscribe on my YouTube channel. And stay tuned for more posts too. And don’t forget to stay in touch with my food journey – real time! Do follow me on:
