Shiro, Bangalore – Awesomely awesome

The new paycheck came in, and celebrations were in order. We headed over to UB city and made a bee line for quite easily, one of the swankiest restaurants I’ve seen in India. Shiro is known for its oriental fare – Japanese specifically – and getting a table wasn’t easy. The place was packed and [...]

Two restaurants with girly names – Nandhini and Zoe

I had two very distinct dining experiences this weekend. One was a South Indian thali lunch at a place called Nadhini Deluxe on St. Mark’s Road and the other was a full on Continental dinner at Zoe Resto Lounge in Indira Nagar. Must talk about Zoe, first. The place is tucked away inside Indira Nagar [...]

A Breeze, Bangalore. Featuring: Murgh Makhni, Shawarma and Batman

Mahesh Lunch Home, Mumbai

I’m in Mumbai right now and am having a right royal time. I’ve eaten at a few places during this short trip and intend to write about each and every one of them. Sunday afternoon saw me going to Mahesh Lunch Home for lunch. MLH came highly recommended and was the first one of my [...]
