Le 15 Cafe, Mumbai

Le 15 Cafe, Colaba

This place has been on my list since the day it opened it's doors and honestly, I had wanted to go back then itself. But it being on the other side of the city, made it a tad bit difficult, not that I didn't try. After several failed plans I arrived here actually out of the blue. A lazy Monday morning when me and a friend were tired of staying indoors (As lazy as I am, there is only so much of staying in bed and watchin tv can I take), and so when I suggested Le 15, it was met with a Why Not, and I was here! HURRAH! 

Like I have said earlier, I have been following this place for quite some time, that I know the great designer Masaba Gupta has a little hand in the designing of the place, the cushions, the materials used in the seating around, Masaba Magic. (I was secretly hoping one of the two Chefs - Pablo Naranjo or Pooja Dhingra would have been here, an autograph or even better a selfie would have made my Year, but better luck next time ) Yeah, I am a little star struck. The place is uber chic and I was kind of surprised to find that it is actually pretty spacious, I had always assumed it would be a quaint little cafe. I love the sofa seatings attached to the French type window and that's the place I attacked. Though it would have made more sense if you could seat side ways and see the bustling crowd and not have your back to it. 

I had already made up my mind on what I had wanted to have a year ago. Well, the first thing I would want to try i.e. But unfortunately it wasn't available on this sunny day. I had wanted to try the Savory Parmesan Waffles, but their waffle machine wasn't working (How can you have just one waffle maker, or did all of them stop functioning on the same day? I don't know how this works). Well, gives me reason to come back again. So we instead ordered the Truffle Tagliatelle (I didn't even know Tagliatelle was a type of pasta until informed by the staff, which is a good thing because the staff knew the menu well enough) and a Chicken Burger. The Pasta, if I may say so, is the best I have had in Mumbai till date and I have to put everything else I have had and appreciated second to this. I like my pasta to be cheesy, but not an over dose of it. It shouldn't just be cheese, the other ingredients should also talk to you and how it did here! I was floating in Heaven in my head. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from the burger, I mean how creative can you get with a burger. I wasn't prepared to be blown over and blown over I was. I should be talking about the bun used in the burger, what sorcery was it. Why? Because I could probably have the bun by itself sans everything else, with a cup of chai on the side. It was that delicious. Also, I am not always a fan of mustard sauce and it is something I almost never use as a dressing in anything, but it went really well with the burger and the mushrooms here. Also, I am not sure but it seemed like they had served Magic Masala Lays (The blue one) on the side. It definitely tasted like that. I wish they had serv\ed fries or wedges or onion rings or something along those lines instead. It's much more filling and satisfying. I almost can't choose between the two dishes and that's very rare. There is always a clear winner. Here, I just couldn't make up my mind. On the side I had ordered an iced tea and my friend had placed and order for Elder Flower Lemonade. Both were great to beat the heat. 

This place is grand and for that reason I at least would buy their pastries and macaroons on special occasions. One, they can be a little expensive and the size of most of their off the shelf desserts are quite small, if I may say so. So for me it's reserved for special occasions only and I do so. If the size of their cup cakes and desserts were increased a little, you still wouldn't feel the pinch on your wallet. Though, you should make it a point to have them. I have had almost everything over time and there is a reason why I don't mind splurging on them on some days. 

All I can say is GO! GO! GO! I am going to be back for the waffles!!

Burger Fuel, DUBAI

Burger Fuel, Dubai

Okay, so I have to admit this. No Burger I have had in my favorite city in the world (at least yet, burger I refer to, favorite city it shall always remain!) has matched up to the burgers that I have had back home. And I really, haven't had much, for that matter. So that says a lot. (Nothing Like the Original Big Mac!) 

This place because well, I don't know Dubai and I have to trust my friend when they say this place is good or the best frickin' burgers ever had. Also, it's organic. Everything on the menu is Organic. Not to be rude or something but I almost felt like saying, and I think did even, You know me right??!! (My refrigerator is full of Sadia Chicken Burgers, Sausages, Nuggets and Meatballs). But I have got to say Organic or not the burgers were actually kind of great. I finished the entire thing, which is a new thing for me! Burgers fill me up pretty quickly in my experience. But I had the entire thing and ate again in like 2 hours I think. Is that what they mean when they say organic? Point to be pondered over. 

The place is tucked away amidst the food court that I would have missed it, but for my friend. I guess the world looks a bit different from that height. Why did God make me short?!  The thing I liked most about this place in terms of the way it was set up, was the cozy corners overlooking the crowds passing by the mall, like you are sitting on your balcony and can watch the world pass by downstairs. Time stands still for that little time when you are sitting and enjoying a meal while the world rushes by. That's a different feeling. 

I was more than just a little confused on what to order. At one hand, I wanted to have beef because well, it's not readily available anywhere in Bombay. But on the other hand, burgers are really filling for me. And a beef burger? That is even more heavier. So in the end I decided to go with chicken itself. My friend did order beef, so I thought I could steal a few bites. So the Monster which had beef and Burn out which is chicken was our final orders. We also ordered Organic Coca Cola. Coca Cola and Organic, doesn't sound right? It isn't. It tasted like a cough syrup to me but my proud friend still downed it. Why? Just admit it sucks and leave it. I ordered some organic flavor juice which is all 100% natural or something. Wel, it had mango an stuff in it, which will not taste like cough syrup so it was all okay. Refreshing in fact. The Burgers are messy. I think I am the worst burger eater in the world, I should be eating it in my own home only. I end up using like 100 tissues while eating a messy burger, which this was. And no, I am not exaggerating. Well, a little maybe. But by the end of my meal, I had used up half the tissue box. That says something. Also, this is after they provide like a paper card holder for your burger.  How was the burger? I think I have become a fan of avocado. Though I am still too proud to admit. At least with burgers I think they bring it up a notch higher. And it had bacon. I love how everything has bacon here. Like Aloha! Me so Happy. In burgers, In Pasta, part of your breakfast meal. Bombay, why you not introduce beef bacon for us poor people who can't have the pork version?! I don't have anything against the real bacon, it's just that I have been conditioned to not eating and I just can't make myself break that rule now. Eat whatever makes you happy otherwise. The burger in short, I grudgingly, admit was probably the best I have had. (I hate someone else being right when it comes to food) The only thing is who doesn't order a side of fries or wedges with burgers?! Though, I didn't tell this to my friend at the point, I pretty much thought it but didn't want to complain too much. I am keeping my cribbing streak in check. Though I don't think I am too successful at that.

Three Chicks and a Bear, Mumbai

Three Chicks and a Bear, Lower Parel

Long Long over due. I had been trying to drag almost everyone I knew to this place and no body just seemed interested. Mostly because of the location. Situated in Lower Parel and most of my friends staying on the other side of town. I am the only one who would cross oceans for a meal.  Well, maybe fly over the ocean.  On a completely different note I just traveled for the first time in my life out of India. Well, I have lived in Bahrain, but that's home and who counts that. So what if it's Dubai and it's just next door.

So how did I finally get to a pay visit to this place? My college buddy was in town and she was staying in Mahalaxmi and then I just ganged up and told her that if she has to see me she has to drop by her and since it was near by to her, she didn't complain much. Also, I Dragged another friend with emotional blackmail of long had reunions to get her out of bed and come all the way here. I can be persuasive if I want to. Mission accomplished.

The place is another offering from the famous Theobroma offering more in ranges of burgers. The limited burgers etc that they offer in Theobroma gives you a good enough idea of what to expect when they provide you with a full blown menu for the carnivore lover. There are vegetarian options but a little limited and I don't know anyone who has tried it out to be able to comment on it. This place is much more spacious in comparison to their Theobroma outlets, and less crowded too. The latter is surprising because a Theobroma on a week day, forget weekend, you would be lucky to find a place. Also, their dessert aisle will transport you to Christmas Charlie and the chocolate factory type feel. I was besotted and taken away with just the aisle itself.

The service is warm as is always with Theobroma. The menu, confusing, because you want to have everything. However, I had as usual, come decided with what I would have. My hobby includes browsing through restaurant menus and day dream of what I would be eating. (No, that's not weird. ) So we called for the meatballs and Canadian pulled BBQ chicken burger. Even though I over all had liked the meatballs, I had expected the tomato basil to be more cooked tomato sauce than on the raw side. I think it would have tasted better if the tomato was sautéed to a point where you don't really see the tomato even, the meat balls would have soaked the flavor from the sauce better then or maybe I prefer it that way. It has the potential to be a 4/5 but it was a 3.5/5. The burger is another story. HUGE! and messy, just how they are supposed to be. The burger was actually ordered by my friend so even though I can't give my complete view on it, it was appetizing in the one bite I tried. Moreover, I have always felt that you can't go wrong with BBQ sauce and chicken. I would definitely want to come back and try more.

Okay, now for the main reason I had dragged my friends here - The Red Velvet Freak Shake. If you are ordering this, please note that this is a meal in itself. It is also not something you would want to share and if someone dared to you would resent them. And even if you tell yourself, you will just have a bite, you CAN'T! So, even though we had thought initially we would share this, I completely regret my decision. I wish I hadn't used that word. You know that the red velvet used is rich and also they haven't been stingy in their usage of it is because of the color of the shake. I have always seen most red velvet shake to be a shade of baby pink or lighter, this was reddish-pink. you can taste the richness of the red velvet in every sip you take of the shake. Add to that the generous amount of whipped cream. And who doesn't like whipped cream??!! That is not it. It has an entire slice of red velvet creamcheese cake on top. If you have had red velvet from here, you know it's second only to their luscious brownies which I think the world also should know about by now! So share, only at your own risk and regret.

HOWRA, Worli

Have you watched the movie called, "Ek Chaalis ki Last Local" starring Abhay Deol. Do you remember the dialogue from it, "Woh kehte hain na jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai, sahi kehte hain" Well, the dialogue was fairly famous even before the movie's release, passed down from generations. The dialogue delivery and the context in this movie, had given it much more leverage and you could hear every one around trying to imitate it. Why am I making reference to this dialogue? I would like to change it just slightly - "Woh kehte hain na, kuch bhi deep fry kar lo, accha hi lagta hai, sahi kehte hain". Actually, sirf accha nahi lagta hai, bahut accha lagta hai, bahut bahut accha lagta hai." Still don't get it? Read on!

This was a place that has been on my list for a long time, for their epic burgers, at least it claims so and vouched by the many reviewers. Always in the look out for burger places, I couldn't help but visit this place. The only problem being, the location which is in Breach Candy and this is one area I have never really set foot in as it is far-far from where I stay, even if I hire a cab. I should give a special mention to my friends who have their vehicles and handle my tantrum by driving me to such places, I shall always be obliged to you even though I don't say it. :D 

The place reminded me of a barn in a certain way, and looks interesting. But there was one small disappointment, that the place has 3-4 outlets jammed in together with a common seating area giving it the feel of a mini-food court. I had expected it to be a place dedicated only to burgers. My friend, seeing the other options went you have the burger, I will try some thing else, which left me in a dilemma. It defeats the purpose. After all, how do you expect me to judge a place by just trying out 1 little burger. So after much cajoling, I convinced him to have the burger (I do get my way :P) 

So from their wide range of burgers, we ordered for the Sheesh Taouk and Surf-N-Turf. I know, I know we should have ordered their legendary Burgers under the Titan Selection, but it was something I knew that at least on this day, I will not be able to finish, as I had had a heavy lunch, even though I knew better. Where as I had opted for the cheesy fries, my friend went for the regular. This might have been the first time in history, that I have to say, I wish I had gone without the cheese. I liked them, but some where I felt the flavors of cheese has over taken the fries, and I couldn't enjoy the fries completely. I could cheese on its own, but if I am ordering fries, the fries should also have a distinct taste, which was lost here. For the burgers, I did enjoy the burgers, but not as much as I had hoped. This could be owing to the fact that I had had a heavy lunch or it could be because there is this small place called Between Breads in Bandra which has left such a lasting impression on me that I by default make comparison. (Check out the review in this same album!). What I have said is true more for the Sheesh Taouk than the surf-n-turf. The surf n turn consisting of a lamb and fish patty, were almost on point and didn't disappoint. (Maybe I had just opted wrong?!). We had also ordered for a BBQ Chicken Craver, which is a small sandwich consisting of well BBQ Chicken, here I think I felt satisfied the most, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that this is only for Rs 80!! So a quick fix and great on the taste buds (I believe how you price your items also has a role to play when some one orders from your place, because the expectations change with it). 

I still haven't made reference to the small dialogue that I had mentioned in the beginning of this post. You know what had really pulled me to this place?? Like really really? Oreos. Deep Fried Oreos. I am obsessed with Oreos. So Imagine when I read Deep Fried Oreos. Do you see the big heaves coming from my chest, I need deep fried oreos! I need deep fried Oreos. DEEP FRICKIN' FRIED OREOS!! And what had I said before? "Anything deep fried is by the rule, always good". So Imagine, when you are presented with Oreos, the deep fried way??!! Beyond Bliss. I almost, or maybe actually did forget cheese-cake for a minute. I never forget cheese-cake, never. like literally NEVER. Have I made that clear enough??!! I guess, I have. :P 

The point is they have a wide range of burgers, all you need to do is choose well. If you happen to have an appetite, go for their Titans. But by default, without putting any thought to it, order the deep fried oreos and come back and tell me Thank You and to express your gratitude, send some my way! :P

Hunger Pangs, Mumbai

HUNGER PANGS

Did you know Breach Candy is in Worli? I didn't and I claim to resident of Bombay for the last five years, it was only on a saturday evening when I checked out the location of a restairant we were headed to that I realized Breach Candy is in Worli and not Bandra as I had assumed. Thank God, though I did a location search before leaving home or else my sister would have had a quite a fit. She is particular like that. I am too but not as much as her. As it was already 9.30 PM, didn't make sense to go all the way to Worli and the Cab Cost, that we decided lets just head somewhere in Bandra itself. Why is it exactly when you are looking for something, you do-not find it. In general, I can think of many places to go, many places to try out, but at the nth hour, I am just not able to find anything. 

Hunger Pangs though not in my bucket list, was a place I did intend to visit at some point as the reviews of the place on an average are good and they are well-known for their burgers. There are quite a no. of places that have sprung up in the neighborhood claiming to serve good burgers. This is one of them. Since, the initial place we were to visit were for the burgers, the mood was for burgers, and Hunger Pangs being the nearest, was locked as the destination for the evening. Located at Hill Road, the place is easy to locate. The ambiance is of a local restaurant and nothing fancy as such. Since the Counter is located right in front of you, the one thing that can be appreciated is the cleanliness in the places. Places that use a lot of white on its wall and decor have a risk of looking not-so-tidy after a while. This place however can win sponsorship from Tide (White ho Toh Tide Ho..!!) and other such paints, and cleansing agents which boast of looking chakachak (spick and span).

The one thing that I can say about the service is that the manager/owner who ever is handling the restaurant, seem very very confused. It took us 15 minutes to order, once we were seated, not just because we were deciding upon what should we be ordering. Also, because they made us even more confused. My sister was the only one who had decided right at the beginning that she is taking the Beef Burger (Lift the Beef Ban already! I don't eat pork, but that does not mean I will stop everyone around me to not eat as well. So much for democracy! :/). I was confused between having a pasta, burger or the or the Stroganoff. In the end, I ordered the Burger, because well, I would regret it if I tried something else. So one Big Cheese Burger in Beef and one in Chicken Patty for me and my sister, and the only guy on the table went for Pasta - Spicy Sausage Pasta. Starting off with the Burgers, the patties had on its own is amazing. No, seriously. It is grilled or fired (whatever method they choose!) to perfection, and you can tell that it was cooked just about right, not a little less, nor a little more. The Bread used? In my friend's words, the one amazing thing about the buns is that it does not break-down. In many of the best places, you find that the bun is the type that starts breaking down after the first bite itself, and it becomes very messy as a result. That did not happen here. These were the positive points. The negative? There was something missing. The cheese was there, the burger was there, but still it felt amiss. It was not event he fact that they initially forgot to add extra-extra cheese as they have claimed in the description and even the fried egg (We had to send it back for that glitch!). It was just the fact that if I had the patty and the bun, I could make it at home. There has to be some extra sauces or spices added which gives any burger flavor. They should work upon this. I don't know if I have too much Pasta on a regular basis (I don't!) or my expectations have now gone up, but the pasta again didn't meet the expectations I had. It was easily what I could whip up at home, or rather my sister could ( I am too lazy to cook! :P). So though I enjoyed it, I was expecting more. All in all, a very average experience. If I was shopping in the vicinity, which I do quite often, and wanted to grab a quick bite, or just relax for a while after my feet have turned sore, I would opt for the place. I wouldn't go here because I was particularly craving something off their menu which would summarize it best. Also, I had ordered an Iced Tea which they forgot about, and for the first time, I didn't bother reminding the staff as I had done enough of it on the day. The best part about this place is the fact that every table has games laid down, ranging from scrabble, uno etc. We had uno, and well when you have uno in front of you, you just have to pick the cards and play your best game! :D

BETWEEN BREADS, MUMBAI

This place has been on my list for a long long time and every time we made plans to try this place out, for various reasons the plan would get dropped and we would end up some where else entirely. This has happened with different people I have been heading out with so much so that I had given up saying probably its not meant for me. Until. Until, one fine day when I was supposed to go some place else, that the group I was with wanted to have burgers and fries and not from Mc Donalds. To all the people who love Mc Donalds, no offence to you. I visit Mc D, as its propularly know, quite often too but you have got to admit it has the same difference that eating Shawarma from a local roadside counter and having from Carter Road or Piccadilly. Yes, if you are presently in the Gulf, and are having Shawarma from the local, there is nothing quite like it!! :D

Okay, enough about Shawarmas, lets get back to the burgers! So that's how I finally landed up at Between the Breads. Some times its beneficial knowing good restaurants around after all! Talking about the place, I think its some where inspired from Poptates. No, not the Popular Chain of restaurant - Pop Tates but the famous Pop Tates from the Archie Comics. If you are a Jughead fan, like me, you would know. If not, you are never too old to pick up an Archie Comic or drop it into this place and you can read some for free as they are laid down at every table. Jug Heads has an obsessions with burgers hot dogs and this place is known for that. So I feel if Pop Tates was real, this is how it probably would be designed, only with more space. The only down side to the place is probably that it is too small and can hardly seat 4-5 groups at one time. The place has only bar stools with shelf like tables as an extension from the walls, which is good utilization of space or rather to save space but it still feels a little cramped up. So Yes, I wish it was a little bit more spacious but I guess that will happen as the place gain more popularity and success. It already is! You would know if you are a foodie like me!

This place serves beef burgers! Now, that is its specialty. Why? Because it is next to impossible finding beef burgers in India. You get them alright but only at particular places, and at quite a good price. No doubt they are good and worth the price being paid but whatever happened to the luxury of finding them in Mc Donalds and Burger King. A cheaper but never the less tasty option. Not always do I want to pay an exorbitant amount of Rs 500 for burger. Having said all this I did not have a beef burger on the day. :P Beef tends to be heavy you see, and having just ate even if it was light, just a while ago, I felt it best to avoid beef on the day. But I will definitely be going back for it the next time round. Now that I have developed all the more a taste for it. 

Since we were 4 people, 4 different burgers were ordered for - Chili Lime Pesto Chicken Burger which is spicy and chili, so if you like your burger to be spicy as such, then this is a great option. Then there is the breakfast burger which I had ordered, which consists of Burger, poached egg, bacon, onions etc, basically a western breakfast stuffed in a burger. I had it minus the bacon since I don't eat pork meat. My sister went for the Beef Burger because burgers are supposed to be beef and I have got to say it is sooooo worth it that I regretted not ordering it and lastly the Hot Dog. This friend of mine ordered the Hot Dog thinking it will not be too heavy as she wanted to eat light. To her disappointment (Not really!), it was as heavy as the burgers. The Beef Burger and the Hot Dog is what I will be trying out next at the place. I have an eternal love for Sausages, my near and dear ones will tell you just about how much since every time I stay over or have breakfast at even their places, my first request is to kindly keep Sausages!! :P We even ordered for some cheesy mushroom fries on the side as I had heard quite a lot about it and well I have got to say what ever I had heard still did not do justice. They are that GOOD! I officially declare that these were the best fries I have had. I have had different varieties fries before including poutine. But this has to be the best of them all. The quantity though I wish was a little on the heavier side as that was the only complaint on the table and I think it is not wrong of us to do so as if they can give heavy burgers at prices like these, why so stingy with the sides??!! Oh, before it slips my mind, Do not, I repeat Do not order for the Pink Lemonade. It was as bad as the fries were good. Next time I will stick to the soft drinks as the rest of the people on my table did.

Be it for Lunch, Brunch or Dinner, if you are craving some real burgers, this is your STOP! and the bonus is that it will not burn a hole in your pocket!

DUNKIN DONUTS, MUMBAI

Dunkin Donuts arrived in Mumbai with much hype and hoopla and I was one among the many who had signed up to be there on the first day. Unfortunately, due to work commitments I couldn't be a part of it. But I made it a point to be there in the first week itself. How couldn't I? I have been waiting forever for a good donut place, not that MOD is bad, but well, if you have had the privilege of growing up in the west or Middle East, you will understand the difference.

The big question is whether it matched up to the expectations built up partly by them and partly by me with the name they carry in other parts of the world. The answer to that is No. Trust me, it pains to say it. But it is the truth. Is it good? Definitely yes. But growing up in Bahrain, I can't help but compare it to the ones I have had there, and I always end up making the comparison. Yes, I know everybody says its catering to a different segment, the market is different. All I know is when ever I have made my mom smuggle donuts from me across the 7 seas, and my extended family/ friends who have had the luck of trying them out have the same thing to say - Where have these been all my life. And when I say, something is good, it means it is good. Similarly, when I say its not the same, It is definitely not the same. 

Well, yes, It doesn't mean I won't be dropping by the place. I most definitely will. It just means I will still miss the donuts I have had from home. Now, for the real thing. Well, I did love the place, the white walls, the colorful sofas and seating arrangement. Its class meeting Funk. ( I didn't know how else to put it :P). So one could hold a business meeting with a client here, and maybe in another corner a couple could be romancing away, while you might find a group of friends laughing their time away. What it means, its a place for everybody which is what I liked most about it. That anybody and everybody can feel at home here. ( Well, not literally home. :P )

Coming to the food, we ordered a lot of different stuff. And if I had to say overall, the food hits the right note. I loved their Bagel burger ( I will come here more for this, I think ;) ). They have a lot of options in burgers, which is points to them because even MC Donalds fails in variety. However, stay away from the Jalepeno chicken Sandwich. I didn't like it or rather it was just strictly okay and it was a recommendation from the server, so I think their servers need to know what to recommend. The rest of the stuff was good and well applauded by me as well as my companions including the spiked iced tea which I have had for the first time ( An iced tea, that I have not had before? That's a first :P ). It has a spicy tinge to it. 

Finally, the one thing I would want to mention is they need to really really increase the fillings in their donuts. I was let down in this department, as after finishing of more than half the donut I could see signs of any filling and I was waiting impatiently for the custard filling one as MOD doesn't offer this and it is my ALL TIME FAVORITE. at Dunkin Donuts, Phoenix Market City, Kurla.
