Aaloo papad We asked for your Holi recipes on our facebook group, and AP sent his family favorite… This Papad is a kind of ritual in eastern UP/ Bihar, and a MUST during Holi. This is the season when the new crop of potato is harvested and it is an age old method to preserve…
[Rated: 4/5] Asking someone for a coffee is now a passé. The Beer Café is now open with an innovative concept, and it is only matter of time when asking someone for a quick beer would be the in-thing among the socialites. It would come as no surprise to anyone to learn that Beer is…
[Rated: 4/5] Having more interest in food than just to satisfy palate, I have always been very keen to try new recipe/cuisine whenever possible. On recent visit to Himachal, we stopped at Chail Palace for lunch, and here we got introduced to Himachali dishes. The restaurant also serves popular cu…
[Rated: 3/5] When we heard that LebMex; a Lebanese–Mexican fast food restaurant serves only vegetarian food, we were surprised. To us a good Lebanese meal is not complete without non-vegetarian food forming a substantial portion of the meal. Still we decided to check it out. The 25-seater LebMex…
Burrito [Rated: 3/5] On my way to Delhi from Mumbai Airport, I stopped at Burro’s Burritos for a quick bite of an English Burrito (Rs 79). The Burrito was overloaded with Mayonnaise but the filling of a freshly fried egg, chicken sausage and sprinkling of cheese, topped up with mustard makes it a…
[Rated: 4/5] Calcutta’s streets have always bustled with people from all over the world including Jews, Armenians, Europeans, Chinese, and of course, Bengalis. This has created a cuisine unique to the city. And the one restaurant that succeeds in recreating the magic of Calcutta is Love and Musta…
[Rated: 3/5] North East cuisine restaurants in Delhi seem to be much in demand. Many new restaurants have opened up, and recently NE-7 reopened in Lajpat Nagar. Gautam and I visited the restaurant to check the offerings. The ambienceat NE7 is nothing much to speak about. Décor is minimal and with…
Much has changed since I shifted to Gurgaon over five years ago. The high rises have multiplied, Offices are much swankier, Roads are much crowded and there is no dearth of good eating out places. Earlier, a good restaurant would have taken us on the roads to Delhi. Not anymore. Nor does anyone w…
[Rated: 4/5] “Variety adds to spice in Life”. The saying will be taken literally and more so implemented with so much of zeal is what I discovered on my recent visit to Pacific Mall in Sahibabad with my family. We were attracted to Dosa Plaza by sheer exuberance of the colourful glow sign that di…
[Rated: 3.5/5] Unpretentious in its décor and honest for its price, Route04 immediately strikes a chord with its guests. The prototype of cars hanging from the roof, huge airplane and car stickers of Mustang and Hummer, beside some old hip music gives it a retro effect. Music is loud enough to gi…
[Rated: 3.5/5] Having read some not-so-good reviews of Jakoi on internet, our foodie group was in two moods to visit the place. Luckily, Gautam and Sneha suggested that we should go and check why it has been rated so low, and hence we all set off to Jakoi on a cool Saturday afternoon, which is…
[Rated : 4/5] Meerut city is full of surprises. Every time I visit here I am able to stumble upon decade old shops serving their specialty cuisines. And most of them have maintained high standards in taste over time. Desirous to have Tandoori snacks, I was referred to a family run joint in the name…
