Spice magic at its best
May 30, 2014, 2:00 AM IST
Magic. Pure and simple. That’s what spices are. They not only weave their magic on all the ingredients they come in contact with, but also draw out symphonies of flavours from them. As though that…

Restaurant Review: Burma Burma – Vegetarian Burmese and tea salon
May 23, 2014, 7:00 AM IST
It’s largely pleasurable. It’s satisfying. It gets our unanimous vote. It does so not only because our brand new Prime Minister “vegetarian chhe” but because this two-week old, brand new Burmese (hold your breath) pure…

Restaurant Review: La Folie – tea salon, patisserie, chocolaterie
May 16, 2014, 8:00 AM IST
I confess. I’m a dessertaholic and a chocoholic. So, I conduct three tasting sessions at this new French-inspired Patisserie, Chocolaterie and tea salon. I land up at La Folie, when I go to do a…

Restaurant review: Makhan (Marwari, Gujarati, chaat)
May 9, 2014, 12:51 PM IST
Disappointing. That one word sums up the whole review of Makhan in Kalbadevi. I love diving into the cacophonic, colourful Kalbadevi area, but my excitement to check out this new pure vegetarian eatery from the…

Film, art and food masterpieces in NY
May 2, 2014, 11:41 AM IST
Spring is in the New York air. The fresh vegetables bursting with flavour and goodness, (you see on the plates in the photograph) have been grown in the rooftop garden just beside us. Behind us…

Restaurant Review: Sliders (American)
May 2, 2014, 5:39 AM IST
First things first, the brand new Bandra “Sliders” and the old Middle Eastern, Moghulai “Maroosh” share the same room. Sure, they’re both paisa vasool and have the same owner, but they sure make strange room…

The food scene in Big Apple, what not to miss
April 26, 2014, 10:12 AM IST
Pardon the blasphemy: I write from the original Biblical Paradise. I am convinced that it was this very big apple that Eve tempted Adam with. So here’s a teeny taste of New York’s vast, tentacled…

Restaurant review: Buddha Belly
April 18, 2014, 4:57 PM IST
I am a devout follower of Lord Buddha and was hugely intrigued by the irreverent name of Peddar Road’s brand new “Buddha Belly” eatery. What on earth could Buddha’s belly possibly deliver? Nirvana. I hoped….

Restaurant Review: Tilt All Day (European/Mediteranean)
April 4, 2014, 7:00 AM IST
We’re being bathed in the ever changing mood and sound responsive glows of the lights. It’s “sound and light spectacle time” in this Parel restaurant. We’re seated in the café-style chairs, though there are diner-style…

Restaurant Review: Haochi (Chinese)
March 21, 2014, 7:00 AM IST
This charming sea-facing hotel has always reminded me of my favourite, yesteryear screen idol, Dev Anand. Not only because at one point of time, he had his office there, but also because like him too,…

Restaurant Review: Chops Away (Pan Asian)
March 14, 2014, 7:00 AM IST
I write from the most appropriate venue… the Kuala Lumpur airport (yes! I am flying Malaysia Airlines)… about Mumbai’s latest, two-week-old cheap and cheerful Asian eatery. Appropriate because there are many such gleaming Asian, quick…

Restaurant review: Le Mangii
February 22, 2014, 7:00 AM IST
Here I am. Surrounded by tall, very stern looking buildings with offices in them. I am in the first-floored casual Mediterranean eatery and by happy coincidence lunch with foodies extraordinaire who happen to be in…

Restaurant Review: Townhouse Café (European)
February 14, 2014, 12:00 AM IST
I’m rejoicing. Countless new restaurants are opening up and their baby steps are being dissected by even more countless food bloggers, twitterati, instagrammers and more. It’s a good sign that we are truly involved with…

What a wonderful world. I repeat. What a wonderful, helpful and yummy world. I’d never met these young and brilliant food bloggers and yet on the basis of my SOS tweets and Instagrams, they came…

Restaurant review: BusaGo (Asian multi-cuisine)
January 30, 2014, 4:07 PM IST
Bandra buzzes. Before leaving for Spain, I popped into Busaba’s baby sibling BusaGo and as you can see from the photo I shot, I ate almost everything on the short menu. DECORCheery. Stamp-sized. Crammed with…

Art on the palate
January 24, 2014, 8:00 AM IST
I am breathing art, seeing art, hearing art and of course, tasting art. In Barcelona, this city of culture, knowledge, creativity and innovation Spanish genius has been nurtured over centuries… be it Gaudi or Dali…

Restaurant review: Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra
January 10, 2014, 2:50 PM IST
Please look carefully. No! its not a genie’s lamp (spewing smoke) that you are seeing in the photo. But I still held it in my left hand and clicked the camera with my right hand….

Restaurant Review: Le Cirque Signature (Franco Italian)
January 3, 2014, 8:00 AM IST
This ain’t no restaurant. It’s a legend, a whole history of privilege and pampering. The charismatic Italian family Maccioni‘s high-voltage Le Cirque opened in 1974, and after conquering New York and Las Vegas, it landed…

Restaurant Review: Cheval (Resto-bar)
December 27, 2013, 7:00 AM IST
Come get drunk with me. And that too without a drop of alcohol. Excuse me if I am bleary-eyed, (it’s not because of being hung-over) but because in order to be updated for my Times…
