Pondicherry Cafe Sofitel Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

Beautiful luxurious ambiance at Sofitel,

Staff is too good, so very polite and helpful and treat everybody who walks in as royalty for sure,

Pondicherry Cafe is situated at ground level,

Right now, Thai Food Festival is going on,

Chefs have flown in especially from Bangkok Sofitel and have brought authentic spices, flavors, fruits, vegetables etc. to bring real taste, they completely succeed, the ambiance here is plush and elegant and extra Thai special decorations have made it even better,

The buffet is HUGE and has Indian, Continental, Pizza, Pasta, Chinese, Lebanese, Salads, Desserts, Bread Counter, London Dairy Ice Cream counter..basically there are too many options which is a plus since pricing is premium too,

Most dishes we tried were really good, be it Veg pulao, Paneer masala, Karela subji, Doodhi with vatana, pizza, dimsums, 

Among Thai, their Green curry with veggies and Tofu as well as Thai khosuey were out of this world,

The dessert section is brilliant with every pastry,every mousse,every tart,cake etc. being simply fabulous and alone giving complete worth of the buffet!

There were some misses too though,noodles were little undercooked, mushrooms in continental section felt overcooked/mushy/as if they went bad, some cheese didn't feel good,

And service was really slow in the beginning of lunch hour, really really slow, waited for 15 minutes before somebody showed up to take order of fresh lime soda! Staff was extremely nice though as I said so cannot complain,

Would also like to give them extra points for having some really unique dishes on the menu and everything tastes quite authentic too,

Would like to be back :)

Masaledaar By Mini Punjab : Food Review, Zomato

Elegant ambiance, very spacious, set on 1st floor of thane club, open to all, no entry charge,

staff is excellent, service is quick, food is fresh and lovely Punjabi flavors,

Been here twice with family and always have memorable meals here,

Food though high on calories,oil etc. but never over oily,just enough to make food tasty,

Not too heavy on pocket considering quality,quantity and ambiance too!

Recommend all their veg starters, be it tandoori mushrooms, aloo or paneer, 

Paneer especially is the best I have had recently, extremely melt in mouth,

Subz uttaranchali, paneer lababdar, veg biryani are especially recommended in main course,

Rasmalai, gulab jamun, moong dal halwa are all great in desserts,

Love the place and experience!

House of Nomad, Taj Land's End, Bandra, Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

It is Taj so obviously the ambiance is fantastic, elegant yet seems like a youngster party place,

Prices surprisingly affordable for such a luxurious upmarket place, looks like Taj is wooing the youngsters and they are succeeding big time,

Staff is top notch, well versed with menu,

Drinks and bar bites, very innovative, delicious

Chanel No. 6 is the drink all ladies have to order, even if you dont like alcohol, it has an edible lipstick after all :P

Mediterranean breeze is a must have mocktail,sweet and refreshing,

In food, I really liked Bandra Sheermal Roll, Ice cream sampler, Truffle flatbread, simple ingredients done very well, very clean flavors,

Actually everything is good, the central bar is stunning, they have a large display of liquor,

Will be back!
