The newly opened restau­rant, proves to be an inter­est­ing place to hang out and gos­sip with friends, over food and drinks, espe­cially over a long lazy week­end meal.

It was a dif­fer­ent expe­ri­ence in Mum­bai this time around – we played tourists to the hilt. When you live in a city, I think you tend to miss a lot of things – fine details you don’t really notice as you rush about your daily work. Like that lovely Church behind Fort where I worked for a year or so – why had I never seen it? The beau­ti­ful old her­itage build­ings in Kalaghoda and Fort – never looked at them closely before. I had lit­tle time to stand and stare back then.

So it was only May end/beginning of June that I was down with a cold and got these use­ful home reme­dies. I’ve barely got over that bout (or so it seems!) and I am down with a cold again. Gosh, how I hate them! I was going through a recent Dec­can Her­ald where I found these […]

I had an oppor­tu­nity to sam­ple some great Parsi fare a cou­ple of week­ends ago. I had read about it in a news­pa­per and archived it for future ref­er­ence. And then when we were look­ing for a place to eat in Indi­rana­gar, I sud­denly remem­bered my archived ref­er­ence. I went there for the first time and then the fol­low­ing week­end : that should tell you a lot about how much I liked the food!

In my per­fect world, I will be sur­rounded by a lot of teapots of vary­ing shapes and sizes. There will be cups of tea in dif­fer­ent flavours wait­ing to be tasted, tea strain­ers, tea pots, ket­tles and the intox­i­cat­ing smell of the dark brew everywhere.

“You’ve never been to Food Street?” I could hear dis­be­lief in Badri’s voice when I replied in the neg­a­tive. It’s true. I’ve never been there. Never had the chance. And besides, no one’s ever sug­gested meet­ing at Food Street before. So on Sun­day evening, a few of us got together and decided on a rendezvous […]

A review of the newly opened Oh Calcutta

Being a fish (and food) lover, it doesn’t take much to entice me for a meal. Espe­cially a Ben­gali meal, since it’s the clos­est I can get to an Assamese meal. I am on a sort of cook­ing sab­bat­i­cal, so find­ing new restau­rants to try out also helps a lot.

Kora­man­gala is begin­ning to buzz with activ­ity : lots of new restau­rants which means we don’t need to go too far in search of good food and a chilled out time!
