Blah Blah Lounge Panch Pakhadi Thane West : Food Review, Zomato

Delhi Darbar here used to be one of my favorite places, 
Now it has been transformed into blah blah lounge,
Interiors have become a cool lounge place with prominent pink,blue and green hues,
DJ has good collection of songs,
Different seating types for family, couples and friends,
Service is very fast, Staff is perfectly trained,
I dont do alcoholic drinks but all mocktails I had were amazing, 
Mango based, strawberry based, mixed fruits and cream based,all kinds of mocktails very refreshing and flavorful,
For food, non veggies have loads of options and veggies also have good options,
Most food is best for having with drinks, but there is a lot of main course options too, so even family can visit no problem,

Especially recommend their-
cheesy mushrooms-these are crunchy,delicious,

stuffed paneer-lovely marinated, bit cheesy, bit mushrooms stuffed,

chilli potatoes-very cheesy, yummy, these potatoes taste like nothing else, must-have,

triple schezwan noodles-spicy, loaded with veggies, spices, just the right amount of crunchy,it comes with nice gravy which has amazing veg manchurian, enough to feed 3 hungry people!

pink sauce pasta and lasagana-both were fantastic dishes, lovely quantity and amount of cheese,

exotic veggies deluxe pizza- loaded with cheese and veggies, amazing texture, freshly made, mildly thick crust, very wholesome, would reorder when I go here,

In dessert, sizzling brownie with ice cream, gulab jamun, moong dal halwa are all amazing, I am sure other dishes are brilliant too, because my family loved everything here be it quantity or quality,
We will definitely revisit soon!

Summer Garden Powai : Food Review, Zomato

Beautiful spacious serene place, very relaxed ambiance,
Pet friendly,they have a separate menu for pets too,
Truly healthy,organic, food made with fresh natural ingredients,
Good menu with loads of amazing teas, sandwiches, burgers, desserts etc.,

Taste is very different because they do not use processed salt/sugar,artificial flavors, preservatives, so everything tastes unlike anything else we have tasted, let it grow on you,

I love Potato Rosti, Indian Salad Bowl, Mediterranean Thali and Toffee Pudding,
High price but good portions for a single person,

Staff is very efficient and gives good recommendations, service is fantastic,
Would definitely be back, their sunday brunch sounds great!

Pizza Box Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

 

After Pizza Express, Ovenstory, Ovenfresh and Juno's, I really loved pizzas here!
They are so much better than dominos, pizza hut,they have a pizza-made-at-home feel but it is still amazing,
Especially love the generous toppings that simply cover every inch of the pizza,
I love spicy pizzas and Hot Head Pizzas are simply fabulous, it is fiery to the hilt,
Full of chillies, jalapenos, bell peppers, the sauce they use in this can be named dragon sauce,
If you can handle heat. blindly go for this pizza,
Otherwise go for Veggies Celebration, BBQ Paneer & Mushroom, Paneer Tikka-they are all fabulous and you can take half and half pizzas at no extra charge :)
In sides, you cannot miss Paneer Stromboli-very Indian masala paneer stuffed baked bread,
AND Jain Crostini-this is a bit on sweeter side with corn, a little hint of chillies and loads of cheese,
Go here with friends so you can try out more things and it is not heavy on the pocket either!
Close to station, easily accessible, staff is very polite and will suggest good dishes as per your desired flavors,
Also Green Apple drink is refreshing, especially if you have the hot head pizza, have this by the side if you do not want your mouth to burn :D
They have cone pizzas too which I am gonna try next time here,
It is a small place but big on deliciousness and flavors, 100% recommended.

Healthylicious Ghatkopar :- Food Review, Zomato

They prove that healthy does not mean bland,tasteless food,
Everything here is full of nutrition, made fresh, nothing artificial added to enhance taste,
Yet everything is delicious and suited to Indian tastebuds by using appropriate dressings,spices!
The concept is new but I really loved it,and usually I am not much happy with 'health food',
Here it is one of those rare times when I liked their menu + the actual taste of all that I tried + their prices for the same are really good,not pricey at all and I want more people to get addicted to this food!
Soups, salads, sandwiches, rice meals, fresh juices (cold pressed) make up the menu and the menu has beautiful description of each dish too-and each dish looks similar to the photo in menu so there is no disappointment of 'oh it looks different' and it tastes brilliant so 100% happy on all fronts,
I loved SPINACH soup (popeye soup on menu I think),it is real spinach goodness, 
ITALIAN HERB RICE with herbs,some veggie bits and little pieces of paneer-all with brown rice! I thought brown rice was supposed to be bad tasting but this was so good,I am now inspired to try making this at home!
Also, TOFU SANDWICH is amazing, such soft multigrain bread,it was better than regular sandwiches,

And even the plates on which they serve food is environmentally friendly,so bonus points for that!

Healthy food that has not had artificial flavors or excess salt or excess sugar added to it tastes different, we are so used to eating junk like burger and pizza that we automatically think that if something is not junk,it won't taste good! But everything here tastes so good,so authentic, I will come here again and again!

Rainforest Resto-Bar Ghatkopar Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

Ambiance is the winning point, perfect dense forest created indoors,
Takes us away from hustle and bustle of city life instantly,
Staff is very polite and service is very very fast,
Menu is huge but I suggest Indian food,
Veg Biryani, Veg Cashews-Capsicum-Corn gravy are best,
Veg pizza paratha is amazing too,
Food is heavy so no health food freaks will find anything,
Gets crowded in evening with couples and young people,
Has good bar selection, 
Families too can enjoy especially for kids,the forest ambiance is amazing to play in,
In starters, paneer angara tikka is good,
Solid food, great service and a wonderful ambiance makes this place recommended.

Shiv Sagar Juhu Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

Very standard food in a little bit upscale environment in a busy part of Mumbai,
I feel that south Indian food here is better than north Indian or chinese dishes!
There are so many outlets of Shiv Sagar in Mumbai, all of them serve similar food,
Have tried Dosas and pav bhaji number of times and they are decent,
Recently tried some north Indian food here with family and it was not excellent,
Roti- Garlic Naan and Veg Paratha were good,
Paneer Tikka was okay, paneer should be softer and tikka should be uniformly marinated,
Veg Handi was okay, standard red spicy gravy we get in any roadside eatery,not much flavor,
Shahi Paneer was sweetish as expected and I liked it, gravy was better here,
Oily food, not feeling like eaten something extraordinary,
Priced reasonably looking at the posh locality they are in and quantity also, not pricey at all.

Rajdhani Thali Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

I really like Rajdhani thalis and this place also serves the standard thali like all other Rajdhani outlets,
Tuesdays is best time to visit them since thali is only Rs. 250,
Service was fast even though it was crowded when my family was here,
Has huge number of items with unlimited refill so huge appetite is essential,
Love the daal baati churma, chaas, dhokla, kadhi, paneer gravy, rotla, khichdi,
AND most importantly the unlimited servings of MALPUA which is heavenly,
Had a hearty meal in decent family ambiance, clean environment and smiling staff,
Will surely be back when in this area.

Bombay To Barcelona Library Cafe Marol Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato

Brilliant place, the story behind this place needs to be heard and read first hand,
Loads of smiling faces in the staff who take personal care of each guest,
Food is prepared fresh and with love so yes it takes time but it is worth it,
There is a good library to read away while waiting for food, place is small but heart is big,
In food,literally everything is excellent,be it pasta or coffee or shakes or sandwich or pakodas,
I especially loved Chocolate shake, Lasagna, Corn fritters on my last visit,
I make it a point to come here atleast once every month, what a beautiful place!

Juno's Pizza Mumbai : Food Review, Mumbai

Have been to 3 Juno's outlets by now and they are consistently fantastic,
The staff is superb, service is ultra-fast and attentive,
Ambiance is bright and cute, even though it is small place, the warm smiles make it seem large,
Nice pop hits play in the background not loud enough to hinder talking,
Basically a very happy place vibe all around,
All sorts of pizzas available, from classic crust to whole wheat crust to cheese burst,
From classic combos to my favorite Boss's favorite which is mildly sweet-mildly spicy and so tasty,
Alongside GOTZ is a great option too, they make half and half on request so definitely go for that,
The crust, the sauce, the toppings, everything is so perfectly balanced, couldn't be any better,
Also their lasagna is amazing, very cheesy and full of flavors,yummm,couldn't stop having it!
The staff on learning that it is my birthday got me a free complimentary Chocolate Brownie,
NOW THIS is what I will always remember and always will come back here.

Macchiato, Ghatkopar West : Food Review, Zomato

 

Nice place with some really good food,
Situated a bit secluded,not prominent so not many people might know about it,
Ambiance is dark yet cool and young, can be improved and made swankier,
Has outdoor seating too,
Plays matches on big screen TV and plays cool pop/rock tracks,
Food is a bit on pricey end but quality and quantity both is very good,
Was here with daughter and we went for meal,
One meal is actually good enough for 2 people-where we chose an appetizer, main course, soup,pizza/pasta-really good for just about 700 rupees,
In the beginning they said that 2 people cannot share one meal,
But my daughter is really light eater so we finally convinced them to let us share,
and we ordered an extra soup,Minestrone soup was amazing,
In appetizer MUST HAVE Grilled potatoes in barbeque sauce,
In pizza roasted cottage cheese with garlic was THE BOMB!
And in main course we loved Herb crusted cottage cheese with pepper sauce served on herbed rice with grilled veggies-This alone is enough for 2 hungry people!
I suggest definitely go here for the meal option and enjoy and must have their pizzas too!

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!

Genuine Broaster Chicken : Food Review, Zomato

Nice,cozy,eclectic ambiance like all Genuine Broaster outlets,

Very young vibe,

Menu is surprisingly amazing and has dishes one wouldn't imagine in a place like this,

It might feel like just a burger place but has some really innovative dishes to come back to,

Veg Cheesy Burger, Ghotala Khichdi are great,

Chocolate samosa with mango ice cream is a must must must have!

Actually everything on menu is worth trying and veggies have MANY options!

Everything has loads of calories though :D

Would definitely be back!

The Caravan Menu : Food Review, Zomato

There are buffets and then there is caravan menu, 

Almost everything under the sun is available here,

Nobody can even try all that they offer- live barbecues, main course, biryani, pasta, pizza, sushi, dimsum, soup, salad, dessert, veg and non veg have so many options,

And cost wise this is a complete steal, no 5 star property will even think of a buffet like this at less than rs. 5000 per person! 

The staff takes care of everyone like family, service is super fast,

They start serving within 2 minutes of us sitting, we had to actually tell them to go slow :P

Loved the barbecue, watermelon, paneer, mushrooms were all great,

CHAAT counter was my favorite, pani puri, sev puri, dahi puri, brilliant,

Dim sums were decent, outer covering could be a bit thinner but inner filling was superb, so crunchy,

Pizzas are surprisingly good, crust thin just like I adore, toppings fresh and cheese-sauce proportion good,

Daughter loved pasta,had to be the cheesiest ever,on the sweeter side but once a bit of paprika was sprinkled, very very good,

Main course had better than expected dishes,not like some other barbecue places where main course is average! Here had perfect kadhi pakoda, mushroom fried rice, cheesy veg lasagna, grilled veggies, aloo ki tarkari,

Wish had more than 1 stomach so could have tried so much more :P Definitely next time!

Desserts are great too, they are situated outside the main dining area along with other live counters,

Gajar ka halwa was stand out, custard,phirni was good, they had chenna sandesh which was unique and quite close to authentic sandesh, gulab jamun was decent, chocolate brownie was fantastic and so was chocolate mousse, so soft and creamy! Must have is hot fresh jalebis with decadent rabdi!

Overall, perfect barbecue-buffet place to be with family,this one is our favorite now.
