Review: Tresind Mumbai Maps An Imaginative Itinerary Of Indian Flavours

[ad_1] Every time I get a whiff of jeera aloo, I'm transported to my childhood. I'm back in school, uncovering my tiffin after hours of study. The flavourful diced potatoes, paired with soft roti, seem like the perfect replenishment. Besides, it could be easily shared among friends - few kids would say no to anything made of aloo. Recently, I was hit with the same tempting aroma while visiting a fine-dining restaurant. But my trip down memory lane was cut short when I grasped its provenance. I was being served Tresind Mumbai's take on jeera aloo, presented in the form of espuma (vegetable foam). I was not sure what to think of this reinvention. Two bites later, my sense of suspicion was turned into delight.Prawns/Water chestnut and Asparagus, Zeera Aloo Espuma, Tomato Rasam. Photo Credit...

Kari Apla Review: Creativity And Comfort Converge At This Restaurant In Bandra

[ad_1] Do the cosiest spaces have the best food? When asked about the must-visit spots in the city, many will name a hole-in-the-wall joint that has been around for decades. Others may have a soft spot for a more recent discovery. Indeed, there can be something incredibly satisfying about finding a new foodie nook in a bustling part of the city. We felt the same after a recent dining experience. In Mumbai, few other neighbourhoods are as abuzz as the Khar-Bandra west stretch. In the past few years, the localities around Pali Hill have become ground zero for a variety of culinary ventures. One of them is Kari Apla, which opened towards the end of 2023.Kari Apla is helmed by Chefs Ebaani Tewari and Mathew Varghese.

Review: What We Liked At The Quarter, The Restaurant Next To Mumbai’s Royal Opera House

[ad_1] Mumbai's Royal Opera House opened with much fanfare in 2016, after extensive restoration work. Since then, it has emerged as a cultural hotspot in the city, hosting a wide variety of plays, performances and events. More recently, what's also back in a new avatar is The Quarter - Nico Goghavala's popular establishment at this legendary location. In the past, the space functioned as a wine and cheese bar that doubled as a live music venue. With its re-opening, the restaurant has retained some of its old offerings and given others a fresh twist.Photo Credit: The QuarterAt The Quarter, guests have the option of indoor as well as outdoor seating. The latter is sheltered enough that the sounds of traffic are not too bothersome. There's also the awe-inspiring view: the lit-up facade of o...

Freny’s Bandra: Enjoy East Indian Dishes And Scrumptious Comfort Food At This New Restaurant

[ad_1] What do you associate with the word "home"? It may mean different things to each of us. But, in one of its idealistic representations, it goes hand-in-hand with family, comfort and nostalgia. Foodies among us will also add unbeatable flavour to the list. When you step into Freny's Bandra, you get a taste (pun intended) of this homely experience. Our recent meal at this newly opened restaurant in Bandra was a memorable one for several reasons. Allow us to tell you why.Photo Credit: Freny's BandraFreny's is helmed by Chef Freny Fernandes, who used to run the award-winning dessert bar Moner (before it closed in 2023). Many shorthand descriptions calling it an East Indian restaurant are rather misleading. That's not all there is on offer here. Freny's is a highly personal project and ...

Trippy Goat Review: This Kamala Mills Restaurant Is An Artistic Blend Of Simplicty And Sophistication

[ad_1] Over the past few years, Kamala Mills and its surrounding localities have grown to become veritable hotspots for various culinary experiences. One of the interesting openings towards the end of 2023 was Trippy Goat, an innovative restaurant and bar. The establishment's first outpost is located in Bengaluru and is the brainchild of the city-based trio, Abhijit Muralidhar, Vishal Nagpal and Vivek Poonacha. Trippy Goat Mumbai boasts a different menu (with a few signatures retained) than the original one. It also offers a selection of coffees, wines and cocktails designed to entice novices and connoisseurs alike.Photo Credit: Trippy GoatTrippy Goat is envisioned as a distinctive artistic space, and nods to this importance of aesthetics are reflected beyond basic decor and plating.

Restaurant Review: Avartana Brings Its Soulful South Indian Experiments To Mumbai

[ad_1] I never knew I would enjoy rasam poured from a French press into a Martini glass. I didn't realise my papad could lend amazing crunch to my dessert. I never imagined I'd taste doodhi in the form of spaghetti. This was until I dined at Avartana at ITC Maratha in Mumbai. My recent meal at the preview of ITC's flagship contemporary South Indian restaurant was eye-opening in more ways than one. The original Avartana at ITC Grand Chola in Chennai was ranked 30th among Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in 2023. It was one of only three Indian restaurants to be featured on the prestigious list. Its Mumbai outpost continues its legacy of celebrating the mystical yet modern aromas from Southern India.Photo Credit: AvartanaAvartana offers five tasting menus, each inspired by different motifs and s...

Coast & Bloom Review: This Fine Dining Restaurant In Dadar Promises An Unforgettable Seafood Feast

[ad_1] Restaurant Review: Shivaji Park marks one of the most frequented and talked-about neighbourhoods of Dadar West. Despite its popularity and crowds, the locality boasted only very few fine dining restaurants - until a few months ago. The Kohinoor Square complex has developed into a culinary haven, now housing several famous brands along with other unique establishments. And one of the newest and buzziest post-monsoon openings there was Coast & Bloom. We recently had the opportunity to dine here and discover its novelties for ourselves.At the helm of Coast & Bloom is Mitra Walke, whose family is also behind the popular eating joints Chaitanya and Nav-Chaitanya. These two establishments have been around since the 90s, and the Walke family's newest offering is a step up in more...
