This was the third time I was heading to Masala Library during lunch hour with the usual dread of being turned away for lack of seating. But to my pleasant surprise the restaurant was a bit empty; perhaps because it was a bank holiday, I did not have much trouble getting a table. As the…
Summer of ’97 – I think was the best of my life. I was young, successfully employed, money in the bank and a little to spare for travel, no encumbrances, easy going parents and first World Zoroastrian Conference in London sponsoring an eight day stay at Sheraton. Life couldn’t give you more than…
The food scenario in India has made a Dynamic shift in the past 5 years. Earlier where party catering was focused on traditional North –Indian. Chinese and Live Pasta counter buffets, they are now venturing into the lesser known food territories such as Mexican, American barbecue, Japanese, Europ…
As we entered ‘The Brooklyn Shuffle Diner’ we felt we had stepped into a diner in the US of A. Bright red sofas, blue chairs, lamps hanging low over the tables, wall graffiti and retro music. It definitely felt like an American diner. We were in the mood for cool non-alcoholic “mocktails” but the…

I received an interesting invite from Lite Bite Foods to attend a ‘Chakhna’. I’ve written reviews for regular meals at restaurants, but this was my first invite to a ‘Chakhna’ (a tasting). The theme was inspired by ‘Tapas’, finger food that Spain is so famous for. The ‘Chakhna’, menu was introduc…
As a hardcore carnivore opting for a vegetarian restaurant is never an option. We entered the restaurant, apprehensive of what lay ahead. The first thing that hit us was the heavenly aroma of food. Our server escorted us to our table, handed us the menu and informed us that a buffet option was av…
Brunches are normally an overdose of food, but with very few things palatable. Fortunately the Sunday brunch at Pavilion75 at WelcomHotel Dwarka is refreshingly different. It is not only competitively priced; some of the dishes are worth driving down from Gurgaon to Dwarka. The new property of IT…
