Ashwem, nestled in the vibrant coastal state of Goa, is a must-visit culinary destination for food enthusiasts. Although I haven’t had the chance to explore all the restaurants in Ashwem, I can confidently recommend two exceptional dining experiences that stand out as the best of the best. Restaurants in Ashwem…

Ah, the yearly recap post! I personally love reading recap posts on other blogs because I find it fun and inspiring to reflect with bloggers on the years gone by, where they went, what they achieved, and what they wanted to accomplish but didn’t. This is definitely one of my…

Have you ever gone down the same street for so many decades that it just becomes part of your routine? You don’t look around anymore, don’t notice anything… you’re just on the way to wherever you need to be. The CHOGM Road from Saligao to Porvorim (and all the shops,…

Edit – Mumbai Canteen has permanently closed down. Let’s chat about chaat! I discovered chaat (late!) I’d never known the tantalizing world of chaat until I moved to Mumbai to study (and further, to work), 9 years ago. Classmates of mine would head to the chaat vendor down the road…

If you eliminate the pizza parlours and the old-school (but still so delicious) triad of Pesto, Alfredo and Arrabbiata sauces from Italian menus across the country, you’ll be left with a mere handful of establishments serving the perfect plate of pasta. Think about it! I can only speak for myself…

Who doesn’t love a restaurant that lets you dine under the sky? A hint of sunshine, gentle breeze, the sound of a fountain – it really brings on those vacay vibes. So does Pondicherry, for that matter, and it’s here that I found a lot of courtyard restaurants sprinkled around…

What’s not to love about the southern state of Kerala? Perhaps India’s prettiest state, its tranquil backwaters, endless coconut groves, green-face-painted Kathakali dancers and seafood define the region. In Chakala (Andheri), a restaurant with an unassuming appearance attempts to bring the flavours of Kerala into Amchi Mumbai. ‘Just Kerala’ is…

A lot of folks from the Saligao-Sangolda-Porvorim area, and even beyond would have dined at Alua, Salgolda. Back in the day (getting old, I know), there weren’t a lot of dining options in Saligao, my hometown, and almost every occasion would be celebrated with lunch or dinner at Alua. Hailing…

I’ve always believed that India’s real riches are the diversity of food it offers – food that’s as multi-flavoured as the country itself. Outsiders may generalize Indian food to be just about curry, whereas even in India itself, we write off North Indian food as butter-chicken-naan and South Indian food…
