Japanese is fast becoming the hottest foreign cuisine in the country, shoving Chinese, Thai and Lebanese into the background. My first tryst with the much-famed Sushi was back in the year 2009, when I tried a few from a big box of sushi, rather apprehensively, during a family dinner at the Pan Asian, ITC,…

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…

How about an unending line of choices across cuisines, served steaming hot at your seat, minus any turbulence? That’s exactly what you get at Fly Kouzina, the city’s first aircraft themed restaurant, dishing out…

Located near Forum Mall, Elgin Road, the Country House is one of the newly minted cafés in town. But it surely makes a mark in the minds of its visitors, from the moment they walk in. Housed in over a century old piece of architecture, the interiors are predominantly pristine white, with corners of bright…
