The old world charm of South Mumbai and Colaba during the day is marked by its iconic Irani cafes and old world restaurants like Café Military, Leopolds, Café Mondegar, Lings Pavillion, Ideal Corner etc. However at nights, the same charm is taken over by their counterparts like Pizza by the bay,…
It is my love for the concept of live grill on the table that keeps taking me back to joints like Barbeque Nation, Pirates of the Grill and other similar joints. After hearing about the new menu introduced by the Pirates of the Grill, I decided to immediately give it a try. Another reason for…
If there is any restaurant I was eagerly awaiting to be launched, it is Soda Bottle Openerwala. Not only the name draws lot of interest, but given the fact that is the only Parsi restaurant in Gurgaon and perhaps just the second one in whole of Delhi-NCR, it is no rocket science to guess how…
Read if you really want to know what a foodie magnum opus should look (and Taste) like! Following the previous post from Pawan on the Chilean Wine and Food Fest at Lalit Delhi, the appetite was quite piqued and moreover when ProChile sent us the menu for the event a few days before the event.…
A hill top hotel overlooking a pristine lake, a national park in the background, nature at its best far from the hustle bustle of the city. It just doesn’t seem to be a place located in the geographical centre of Mumbai. However located at the edge of Aarey Milk Colony/Sanjay Gandhi National Park…

Numerous number of times I have gone to the labyrinth lanes of Jama Masjid’s Matia Mahal to savour kebabs, biryani, nihari, haleem, fruit kulfi’s and shahi tukda both alone as well as leading facebook groups for people who want to get the ‘real’ flavour. The events are always a sold out even if i…
Braving a dense office area, immense traffic, and a narrow bylane, I finally reach my destination at Auriga in the Famous Studio Lane near Mahalaxmi Race Course. The first thing that catches my attention is the unusual façade of the building. The geometric patterns both outside and inside the res…
The invite read “the first ever 3D projection bar” and obviously our curiosity was piqued. So wrapping up a very stressful day’s work, we headed towards Bandra reclamation where we found, in the bylanes behind Rangsharda auditorium, nestled besides the ever popular Candies, our destination for th…
