Restaurant reviews from the moon

No, that's not a mistake... the name actually is written in Marathi, and only Marathi. In fact, everything at this Gomantak restaurant in Mumbai is written in Marathi. They obviously cater to a v...

Sweet dreams with chocolate and ice cream, and a little falooda on the side. At two a.m. On Marine Drive. That's Bachelor's. Nestled in a nook beside the railway tracks at Charni Road station in...

Charming, old world rustic, quaint little lakeside restaurant are not terms that would normall be used to describe Bobby Dhaba... except for the lakeside part that is. The food here is to die fo...

Cafe Uno is an Italian place on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square station. Peering in through the window, one doesn't see too many customers inside. The menu looks inviting, so I enter. I...

Abeno Too is a small Japanese restaurant just off Charing Cross Road at Leicester Square. The cooking area is in the centre of the restaurant, with a large table surrounding it. Smaller tables a...

If you've ever wondered what happened to all the dance bars that were closed down last year, you should visit Seashells. This, I believe, is what all of them would look like. Large, spacious, dim...

I'd read good reviews of Khyber at various places, and read the entire story of its burning and rebuilding, so decided to visit during the Kala Ghoda art festival. The first thing that you notic...

This is one place that I've been to on several occassions, and I've tried various dishes. Only one has come out a winner for me. The Phad Thai noodles. They aren't listed on the main menu, so mos...

Menino's hasn't changed a bit in the last 15 years. The food and service are exactly the same, and the prices have gone up very moderately. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration because my memory isn'...

On a cool evening, a walk on the beach can be calming and hard on the legs. Walk into Britto's to rest awhile and stay for dinner. Get there early to get a table, because it gets crowded really q...

Mum's kitchen came highly recommended from several friends, so I had to try it out. Time, however, only allowed me to try the desserts there. I can't do justice to the place with this review, but...

It's not often that a land lubber gets to dine on a boat, so this is probably an experience worth paying for. Better food may have made it worth it. In my opinion, a name like Noah's Ark itself s...

If you're looking for a place to hang out with a bunch of friends for a really long time without doing much more than talking over a couple of beers, then this is the place. It's quiet, with not...

Casandré is one of those restaurants that you walk past at dinner time and think, "Man, that must be expensive". We walked in at lunch time - well, much after lunch time actually - while most Go...

There are places that end up on tourist guides as the recommended place to be, and there probably isn't much point in writing about them. I cannot, however, leave Souza-Lobo's without a mention. ...

It isn't often that a restaurant serves me something that makes me jump with glee. Copper Chimney in Bangalore did that. We arrived there at a little after 10pm, which in Bangalore generally mea...

Take 5's logo is a saxophone, giving the impression that it's a place for good Jazz music, and, one hopes, good food too. It's not. There are two sections to the place, which I'd like to describ...

Situated on the stretch of road from Nariman Point towards Cuffe Parade, Moshe's is easy to miss. The little entrance is covered by bamboo shrubs, and you've got to look closely to notice it. T...

Garuda mall in Bangalore has a lot to offer the hungry man. The food court on the third floor, Sikandar on the fourth and Kobe's on the fifth. We visited Sikandar on the day they opened, but th...

Choolah is a Punjabi restaurant at the start of Museum Road. It seems to have taken over from Aryashree. The food is nowhere near being good. The names of dishes on the menu are alien to even the...

Their menu proclaims that everything is cooked fresh, especially the spicy sauce they use for mozarella sticks and other dishes. Not! The sauce was so stale it was bubbling with bacterial activit...
