Gabbar Ka Birthday Dhamaal!

The menu and the decor of this place is the perfect marriage of quirk and Bollywood. Their food looks spectacular. The desserts tasted like heaven. There’s nothing more I could have asked for, at least for that evening.

Brunching a Happy Brunch at Afraa:

Brunch is my favourite meal of the week. That is because I get to be super lazy and get up late, and then have a celebratory meal of surviving yet another week in this big, bad world. Last Sunday I went to Afraa Restaurant & Lounge, to try out their  Sunday Brunch, priced Rs.999/- plus…

The Baap of Barbeques: Barbeque Nation, Park Street:

Unlimited skewered kebabs, on a live grill in the middle of the table, is a scene straight out of my food dreams. And thankfully, unlike most other dreams, this one is pretty easy to fulfill. Because, with Barbeque Nation opening at Park Street, I don’t need to travel all the way to Salt Lake to…

My Journey through the Continent @Asia Kitchen by Mainland China

I am a sucker for Asian Food (well, food in general, but Asian food in particular). So when  I saw the advertisements around the city of a new Asian place opening up at Kasba, from the house of Mainland China, I immediately made a mental note to pay a visit, rather sooner than later. It…

This was primarily because Kolkatans have been spoilt by Park Street and it is indeed very difficult to match up with to the standard already set in…

A Happy Me at the M Bar Kitchen:

One of the relatively new entrants in the Park Street food scene is the M Bar Kitchen. Notably, it is one of those places in the city which boast of serving food with Molecular Gastronomy tricks for the visual delight. Located well inside the Magma House, this place can be pretty tricky to locate, in…

Lokaahar: Joys of Simplicity

In the mood for some ‘ghorowa bangali khabar‘? Then Lokaahar is the new place to check out. But don’t get me wrong, it won’t serve you the mundane things which comprise regular meals in most Bangali households. It takes the simplest of ingredients and elevates them to a much higher level. Mr. Ghotok, the man…
