Restaurant reviews, recipes, columns and food stories from across India
From the beginning of time, humans have captured in frame everything that they want to leave behind as evidence or memories. Over time cameras have changed forms, shapes and sizes but man’s need to capture memories hasn’t. I often travel to exotic locales with my family and the best part is captu…
It was indeed a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me to be a part of The Great Kebab Factory’s 20 year Celebrations, as I was there for their launch party some 20 years ago too. It has been a long successful story for them which, I’m sure, is thanks to them consistently dishing out…
Over the last 3 decades that I have been flying, I strongly felt that there is no airline worse than Air India in terms of service. However my recent trip to Mauritius made me realise I was so wrong, Air India is still better. The reason for my changed preference is not because Air India…
‘You Mee’ the sound of the name itself reminds me of Oriental countries due to the additional E in the Mee though at first thought I wouldn’t have imagined it being the name of a restaurant. However it is so, a restaurant offering pan Asian cuisine with mix of Japanese, Chinese and Thai cuisine at…
After serving up an ace like Molecule, the team (Manish Sharma and Sahil Sambhi) has come together again to present The Drunken Botanist. What strikes you first is the unique name. I am told the inspiration came to Manish Sharma from a book of the same name by Amy Stewart. This book is all about…
If there is any restaurateur who has taken the Indian hospitality industry by storm then it has to be Zorawar Kalra. Be it path breaking restaurants like Masala Library, Farzi or Pa Pa Ya, his restaurants not only brought freshness to the food and drinks but also to the décor and set a benchmark in…
Can a new Chef bring a refreshing change to a menu that has already got many rave reviews? I am visiting Pluck at Pullman Hotel, Delhi almost after over two years and it made me fall in love with it all over again. The modern finesse of its décor is still the same, however pluck…
Gone are the days when Indians had more exposure to Chinese cuisine than various other International cuisines. Pan Asian cuisine has come in strongly with people relishing dishes from various Asian countries. Several restaurants serving the same have opened over the last few years with Triple 8 b…
Having it’s presence in India, New York and London, Indian Accent has been ranked the number one restaurant in India 3 years in a row. This stylish restaurant serving Indian cuisine with contemporary twists by Chef Manish Malhotra held number one position at the Condè Nast Traveller Top 50 restau…
India has come a long long way in many areas and especially when it comes to various International cuisines that have made inroads into the country. Back in the 90’s there weren’t as many options available as there are now. Established in 1994 Rodeo offering authentic Mexican and Tex Mex Food was…
It was slightly over a year ago when I went to Pa Pa Ya for the first time and let’s just say my experience then was.…umm….well…. underwhelming. So when I got an invite to revisit it, quite obviously, I was not exactly over the moon. But as the saying goes (and James Bond said it…
I have watched Chef Piyush Jain progress from Hiatus at Lodhi Hotel where I appreciated his culinary skills on trying watermelon balls served as khaosuey. From there he joined Molecule, Gurgaon as the executive chef and surprised everyone with his gimmicky yet tasty food with a lot of drama added…
