Farzi Cafe - High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel

January 31, 2020 0 Comments
Farzi Cafe yet another Jiggs Karla food chain we made a visit which is famous for its Gourmet journey. It is known for  “creating an illusion” with its cuisine especially put together for the youth of India. This Cafe has various outlets but we visited the one at High Street Phoenix. It is a huge place with two stories. We sat on the first floor which gave us the below view of the bar counter.


The ambiance was good and so was the staff. Ensure to book an appointment to book your seats when you are visiting on weekends else you will find difficulty in finding a place.
Ashwini who's the chef here helped us with amazing dishes that are worth trying. Let's begin with starter -
a) Black sesame chicken tikka and pepper chicken tikka - As beautiful as the presentation of the dish is so was the taste. The chicken was absolutely tender which was marinated very nicely.

b) In the main course, we had Chicken Khao Suey Bowl - It is a soup meal bowl inspired from Burmese noodle dish. It was vibrant in flavors and the coconut milk based curry was utterly delicious.

c) Finally, we headed to the most favourite course of my husband i.e. Desserts. It was my husband's birthday when we visited this place, therefore as complimentary Chef Ashwini presented us with this amazing coffee Tiramisu flavoured cake with cookie and brownie. This was an ultimate dessert that we have had.

That's how we had an amazing dinner at Farzi Cafe. Do visit!

Dinner Date by the beach

November 24, 2019 3 Comments
Dinner Dates are supposed to be the most romantic thing to plan on various occasions like proposals, anniversary celebrations etc. 

It is one of those moments where you want to make your loved ones feel extra special. What better can it be than planning it close to the beach, right below the moonlight, between beautiful lights, flowers and wine❤️ Just you and your partner! Isn't it a perfect one? 


Being a Bollywood lover and like every other gal, I wanted to have a perfect date by the sea. To dream about it is very easy, isn't it? but planning one can be tough. So, there started my hunt to find someone who could arrange this for me in Goa. That's how I found tablenumberseven (Adelia). 

She helped me with couple of options close to where I stayed. One of the options that I narrowed down to got cancelled because of some reason. When I was completely lost and loosing the little hope that I had, Adelia helped me with this new contact. So, that's how I came in contact with Ankith Kedar from Sochi Beach. I just spoke to this guy on the day when I wanted to have this date and this guy did everything possible. 



From the time, I spoke to him I was sure this is going happen. He put all his efforts in terms food, decor and most importantly, he was never said 'No', it's not possible even though I had contacted him on the same day at the very last minute. Sochi Beach is a beach bar on the Benaulim Beach where our date was planned. They had just opened it and we were the privileged one to inaugurate such kind of thing as a couple. 




All the while I was still worried as to how it will turn out. In the evening when we arrived to this place, the view of the set-up done was so delightful that not just me but my husband was awestruck too. He couldn't believe how & when did I plan all this. Seeing that twinkle in his eyes and happiness on his face that he loved it, I was very happy. That's the feeling you get which can't be expressed in words but can only be felt by seeing that happiness in your someone special's face ❤️


The food by Chef Aaron was equally amazing. We had a very good time and I'm sure we will treasure this beautiful memories that we had while we celebrated our 6 month anniversary at Sochi Beach. 

Thanks a ton guys for such lovely arrangements and all the very best for the upcoming season which I'm sure would be an amazing experience for everyone who visits this place just like we had. Here's their Instagram page.

Masala Library - BKC

April 04, 2019 0 Comments
My long wait to visit this place finally came true, thanks to my new company 😊 Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra is an amazing restaurant to visit for a wonderful experience. The most important thing to keep in mind is to have a booking done during peek time to avoid being disappointed. It has got a nice ambiance with courteous staff to help you with the best of recommendations.

They have three varieties of offer for us -
1. Buffet
2. A la carte
3. Corporate Menu

We went ahead with a corporate menu which was 5-course meal:) The portions are less but 5 meal is more than enough to fill your stomach.
So, we were welcomed with this complementary drink of coconut water with tiny mango pulp. This was served in such a way that it resembled a bird's nest with eggs. (hats off to their presentation)

Welcome drink - coconut water + mango pulp
1) We started with a snack - Charcoal Papad Chat. Like the name suggests, it tasted like a proper chat but in small portion.

Charcoal papad chat
2) In soup, we had lemon coriander shorba. A healthy one!

3) Then began the starters with Prawns Balchao Kulcha. The stuffing within the tiny kulcha of prawns was too delicious.

Followed by Lahori seekh kebab, amchoor and butter jhol. So, the best part of each meal was its presentation. Also the waiter would narrate us the food delicacy in detail of what it consists of.

After having half the meal and reaching to the main course, they served us these misti doi sticks with the strawberry syrup on top to get our taste buds back in track.

Under main course, we had Butter chicken with butter roti. And honestly, we were full by the time main course arrived. Like I mentioned earlier, though the portions were small but since there were many options, we were full.

Finally the most awaited part of the meal was the desserts. Inspite of hardly having any space in my tummy, I couldn't miss the amazing rasmalai tres leches.

Last but not the least, we had Pan Candy floss to sum up our stupendofantabulously magical meal at Masala Library 💓 The food was good, staff was courteous, price is definitely on the higher end but then at times you need to pay high cost to facilitate such amazing experiences.

Chang bhal - Lower Parel

January 30, 2019 0 Comments
Chang bhal is among those restaurants that will not only satisfy your taste buds but also give you value for your money. Usual, human tendency is that when you go out for food, you tend to spend a lot of money but friends there are restaurants that serve best of food at a reasonable price too.

So, let's see this place as one of the options on NM Joshi Marg in Lower Parel. It's famous for it's North Indian, Malwani and Chinese cuisine. The place is fully crowded during lunch time. The waiters are very courteous and service too is quick.

We opted for Malwani cuisine which included -
A) Bombil Fry - Fresh & perfectly crisp

B) Kombdi wade - This happens to be my all time favorite. So, there's no chance that I could miss this one. Chicken gravy was delicious 😋

C) Prawns fry - Again tasty but lil oily

D) Thali - Their sol kadi is to die for.

E) Kharwas - The quantity was amazing. It was the perfect thing to end our meal.

So, having so much food might have cost us more than 1000 right? Let me keep you all with this thought so that you can guess the right price. You can contact me or comment for the amount we spent on this meal!

Until then happy hogging ❤ Feel free to share my postspage with your family, friends, relatives to share such wonderful experiences through food, places or thoughts 😇 Thank you all!

Bombay Coffee House - Phoenix Market City, Kurla

January 27, 2019 0 Comments
The Bombay Coffee House also known as BCH is one of the many cafes opened in Phoenix Market City, Kurla. The mall which is crowded on most of the days and especially weekends when there is hardly any place to sit, this came to our rescue. I was overwhelmed with the simple yet attractive decor of this place. You can see the seating arrangements, they are perfectly comfortable.

It is one place where I'm sure of heading to when I need some peace and my cup of coffee.

We had few items from their menu based on the waiters recommendations and trust me, I was overwhelmed with it. What did we have? 
A) Iced coconut coffee - Yes! You read it right. A little bit of twist with a flavor of coconut to my coffee. Worth the try.

B) Banana Salted Caramel - It was kind of heavy drink and pleasant in taste. Sorry, no picture 😁

Iced coconut coffee and Mediterranean Sandwich

C) Mediterranean Sandwich - It was utterly delicious made of brown bread and filled with Aubergine, bell pepper, zucchini, black olives and few other exotic veggies.

D) White sauce pasta - We topped it all with this perfect creamy pasta.

Purepur Kolhapur - Vile Parle

December 23, 2018 0 Comments
Long wait and finally, the wait is over when we visited Purepur Kolhapur in Vile Parle. This is one place famous for it's Maharashtraian thalis. You will fall in love with the malwani, seafood from this place.

Purepur Kolhapur, Vile Parle
This is a small place so don't think of a very grand ambience. Your soul purpose to visit this place should be the soulful food. We had a wonderful meal.
A) Bombil fry - Bombil fry is a must try. In one plate, they serve 4 fishes which were fresh, tender and perfectly crisp.

Bombil fry
 B) Mutton masala thali and Solkadi - There were number of options in thali. We opted for mutton masala thali. It consisted of mutton masala plate, khima wati, pandhara rassa, tambada rassa which is served unlimited, pulav, 2 chapati or 1 bhakari, curd onion, lemon. Since we wanted to have the malwani feel, we replaced pulav with another bhakri. The entire thali was just amazing. Don't miss out on the sol kadi.

 C) Kharwas - Then to top it all, we finally concluded our meal with this amazing Kharwas.

What more do you want from life after having such a soulful meal!

Hitchki, R city mall - Ghatkopar

November 18, 2018 0 Comments
It has been quite sometime that Hitchki opened at R city, Ghatkopar. Ideal place for all the Vikhroli and Ghatkopar crowd as they had to go all the way to Powai to explore this place and you have another option nearby.

Hitchki, R city - Ghatkopar

The ambiance is very beautiful. We had been to this place during Diwali so it had most of the office goers crowd. As it is newly opened, they are not Zomato Gold Partners unlike the Powai one nor do they have any corporate discount so please make a note of this. Yes, the food is just amazing. Each and every dish that we had, our expectations were totally met.

Another disclaimer, the quantity is not much so be prepared to order good amount of food if you are a larger gang. So, without wasting much time, here you go with the list that you must try -

A) Chana Garlic 65 - A perfect chakna to start with.

Chana Garlic 65

B) Chicken Tikka zafrani - juicy chicken with amazing masala

C) Mere tandoori momos aayenge (chicken) - yes, that's the name for chicken tandoori momos. They have some innovative, funny names in their menu. This item won most of the hearts on the table so it was ordered again.

Now, jumping to the main course.
D) Chow mein - Fried rice with gravy. Loved this!

E) Indi Chini bhai bhai - Chicken Manchurian with butter Naan.

F) Chicken Dinchak - Kadai masala with bhuna chicken, chura roti and namkeen.

G) Bai da ghotala - This is especially for the perfect eggitarians. This is a combination of grated boiled egg, mashed fried egg with tamatar masala and pav.


H) Ghee rice with Roast Chicken - The gravy was just like Mangalorean chicken. It was served with ghee rice.


I'm sure I have given you ample of options to eat next time you visit this place😜 So, what are you waiting for? Go and give it a try!

Mini Punjabs Lake Side - Powai

October 31, 2018 0 Comments
Food is something that we always look forward to while heading for a dinner but what if places like this help us create some beautiful memories :) That's my family! The picture says it all with the smiling faces that were clicked before we left this place after having an amazing time.

My family at Mini Punjab's Lakeside

Let me go in reverse order this time, so this is the standee that is there at the entrance with nice, funny props. Even before, we could enter the restaurant, my cousin and me decided to click some nice pictures here to have a beautiful end to the evening. Mini Punjab's Lake Side - Powai has got this two floored space where they don't just serve Buffet but also have À la carte. They have something known as Dhara Singh's Thali which has 40+ items but we decided to go for À la carte as per our choice. There's a challenge associated with the thali - if you alone can finish the entire thali then it is free of cost for you but I have read and heard from people that it is difficult for even 4 people to finish it :)

They had good staff who were very helpful in suggesting some good recommendations. They also play birthday song on request in case you want to cut the cake. We could see a lot families on the first floor where we were seated. Good ambiance and even better food.
"Life is uncertain so eat dessert first" ;) is the quote my dad is holding which is really appropriate for him as he can eat a lot of sweets. Maybe equivalent to what my mom, brother and I can :D So, like I mentioned earlier, I'm starting in reverse order so here's what we had.

A) Jalebi Rabri - As much as the picture is tempting you to have it, it was really very tasty. I feel like going and having this again.

Jalebi Rabri
B) Gulab Jamun - It was soft and tender. Also served warm with 4 pieces in it.
Gulab Jamun
C) Ice-ceam lovers - Here's the malai kulfi picture which was rich in milk and very tasty. We also had kesar-pista kulfi and chocolate ice-cream which had  3 scoops so please be careful before you order one.
Malai Kulfi

Now coming to the main course, we had Mutton Biryani - It wasn't much spicy so felt for the people who do not eat much spicy food. 

In starters, we had a lot of food which left us with hardly any space for main course and besides desserts are mandatory so how could we miss that :)
D) Masala Papad

E) Assorted Non veg. Tandoori Platter - You name it and it had all of the items from prawns to fish to chicken and mutton. A perfect dish for the entire family. A must must have!

Assorted Non veg. Tandoori Platter
F) Tandoori Prawns - This was also very good dish but with just 8 pieces but nicely marinated and tenderly cooked.

So, that's all that we had. This place also comes under Zomato Gold so you'll get 2+2 on drinks.
They also have Corporate discount. Therefore, do not forget to mention the same before asking for the bill. In terms of the pocket size, this is a bit on the higher side. It completely depends on what you order. A good place to have dinner with family.

R K wine and dine

October 29, 2018 0 Comments
RK Wine and dine - Also known as Radha Krishna wine and dine is one amazing restaurant in the LBS road, close to Ghatkopar station next to Sarvodaya hospital.

The first and foremost warning for everyone would that there's long waiting for this restaurant if you visit during the peak timings so better reach early to get place  This place not just has amazing food but is decently priced too. That's the reason it is always crowded and why wouldn't it?

We visited this place on a Sunday evening and had to wait for almost an hour, I know ridiculous but food was something that pulled us to this place. Fortunately when we ordered and had food, it was worth the wait. We ordered -
A) Chicken Lollipop - The best! The craving is still there.

Chicken lollipop

B) Dum kebab - This is like reshmi kebab but in dum style. The masala in it tasted amazing.

Dum kebab

C) Saibo chicken - Perfect for a larger group. Crispy and yummy like a perfect pop.

D) Chicken Balti - Gravy for the main course in green with boneless chicken good to have with chapati, Naan etc.

Chicken Balti and special roti

E) Chicken hot garlic pot rice - Getting a pot rice in an ordinary restaurant is rare and therefore having this option here was cherry on the cake. Most importantly, it was tasty and loaded with chicken.

All having all these delicious food, there wasn't any space left for desserts.

So, that's how it was a wonderful dinner with my people. Good food, good company = 100% satisfaction and a perfect weekend 😊

P.S. - Just to reiterate, this place has huge waiting so please reach early as they don't take prior booking during weekends.
