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.

Pincuk Airoli Navi Mumbai : Food Review, Zomato


Small place but tastefully done,
Staff extremely nice, attentive,
Food is absolutely five star, this place deserves all the accolades it has been showered with,
Menu has loads of known dishes and unknown new dishes too, ask the staff, they will guide,
Best thing is, nothing here is desi Chindian, lathered just in oil and medley of spices,
Each dish has distinct flavor which is remembered for long,
And very affordable, it is a steal at these prices,
Quantity is huge,
I loved Lemon Coriander soup,
Paneer Pataya,
Masamman Curry,
Mie Goreng Noodles,
Thai Green Curry,
Banana Pancakes,
The owners themselves go from table to table taking feedback, taking orders, serving orders and chatting with customers, makes everyone feel special,
Honestly cannot recommend it enough, just go, a small place with big heart!

Tiara Restaurant & Bar - Meluha The Fern : Food Review, Zomato


One of top 5 buffets in the city, for sheer quantity and quality despite such variety of dishes,
Attended their monsoon brunch (ongoing) and left impressed, wanting to come back,
Service is smooth, staff is very caring,
Located on ground floor, accessible and easily navigable even by old people,
very spacious,tables are laid nicely apart,no intrusion on conversations,
There is soup, salads, main course, live counters of cholley bhature, dosa, chaat, kebabs (rotating), pasta, desserts and everything tastes nice,
Dessert especially is fantastic and favorite, dig in soon as dishes get over fast here,
Recommend their salads, dahi vada, curd rice, pasta, kaju gravy, paneer tikka masala
and EVERYTHING in dessert,
Maybe the most down to earth cost buffet I have seen in such premium property!

Garde Manger Cafe Vile Parle : Food Review, Zomato

 

There is no way this place deserves anything less than 10 stars,
Now everybody is joining the HEALTH + TASTE bandwagon but these are the masters,
Such a small place and yes prices are on higher side but their menu is so creative and food so tasty that I cant help but go here again and again,
There is not a single dish that is tasteless or feels bad, it is all freshly made
First time I have seen ingredients like zucchini, quinoa being made into such delicious dishes,
There are other places too where some tasty healthy dishes are found but here literally every dish is superb, I have tried half the menu with my daughter,
Especially love the Mumbai Local chaat, comes in cones, iced, sweeter side just like mumbai chaats and bhel is,delicious, must have, everybody has and love it,
I am biased towards delicious hummus and they make amazing mezze platter,
Zoodles salad where they make noodles out of zucchini is amazing,
Paneer Tikka Sandwich is must have too, what brilliant flavors,
Basically ANYTHING from the menu is brilliant,
There are options of healthy breads, salads,soups, juices, vegan friendly dishes are also there,
My favorite is their chickpea walnut banana pie, oh this is a sin, how can it be so delicious and still be gluten free!!!!
Cannot recommend it enough, cannot wait to go back too!
