Restaurant Review – Villa Vandre

Edit: This restaurant has permanently closed. While most people in Mumbai lament about the space crunch, others go on to develop a modest restaurant in an area so small, it may not even count for a single room in most houses. Tucked into one of Bandra’s little by-lanes, this blink-and-you-miss-it…

Restaurant Review – Anand Seafood

If you ever want to eat the best seafood in Goa, take my advice. You have to step away from the seashore – away from the beach shacks offering assembly line type food at exorbitant prices. Head inland to the eateries that are located near the fields, with tiled roofs…

Sometimes it’s the food, sometimes it’s the service, sometimes it’s the ambiance.And sometime’s it’s all three. Sadly, ‘By the Way’ on Pune’s Fergusson Road was one such…

BREAKFAST AT TERTTULIA

I’ve heard a lot of people in the Shivaji Park area thank their stars when Terttulia came to Mumbai around 8 months ago. Restaurant options on that side of town are few, and its slim pickin’s for non-vegetarians. Terttulia is pretty easy to locate, although it’s tucked away in one…

TOP 10 BAKERY START-UPS IN MUMBAI

It’s no secret that I have a serious sweet tooth – you might even call me a dessert addict. But one thing that’s never really made eating cake fun, is when it comes out of those large franchise stores. In fact, I’m not a fan of eating at any franchise…
