Ray's Cafe & Pizzeria - Bandra, Mumbai

A cozy lil french style cafe between giants like Mamagoto and C'est la vie but the place has its own character... Met a friend over coffee and Eureka!! its been a discovery!! glad I decided to try this place out.
Its a small place good enough for quick bites and coffee, some laidback time with your partner or friends and some delicious food for company.
Couldn't try much since it was a short meeting and we had to head back early but from what we tried I am pretty sure there wont be much to complain about

What we ordered - 

Pizza By Slice:
Original Cheese - Thin crust...soft...right amount of sauce...right amount of cheese...Simple yet Delicious!!!
Grilled Chicken - Same base as original cheese with small chunks of grilled chicken..nothing great.
Oreo Cookie Shake - Its a must try!!
Hazelnut Cold Coffee - Pretty Good!!

I guess next time whenever I am around hill road and I feel like having a good pizza I would know where to find one but but but it is a little expensive

TGIF - R-City, Ghatkopar

In Here, Its Always FRIDAY!!
Now isn't that extremely inviting...who can say no to that???

So this Saturday it was TGIF...loud music, buzzing with people and great energy are few things synonym with TGIF and the R-City outlet is no exception..The service is fast and the servers know their shit, which is really great.

What we ordered-

I had a Mojito and Hubs decided to go with Black Dog since there was some offer going on but we were quite SHOCKED when he went for the second round as there was a FLY in his drink...we called the server and he quickly replaced it...but such incidences are highly unacceptable!!!!!!! 
Seafood Platter - The fish, shrimps and calamari were fresh and well cooked the coating was crisp and yummy...worth a try!
Ultimate Fridays Nachos - Whats great is the nachos here aren't messy like other places. Its arranged well on the platter like mini pizzas that are bite sized with less beans...jus the way i like.
Chicken Veracruz - This was an okay dish...chicken was hard and the the flavor of rice was not that great...avoidable!! 
Romesco Grilled Vegetable Pasta - Again a very okay kinda dish...the veggies were good the pasta was well cooked and the sauce seemed right... nothing to complain but nothing great as well...my 3 year old enjoyed it though.

Great place to hangout with you buddies and enjoy some drinks and tid-bits but the experience comes at a price and the price is on the higher side.

Oh! Calcutta - Khar, Mumbai

I've been a fan of Bong food from the time I tried it for the very first time and 'Oh! Calcutta' have been on the list ever since. Finally got a chance last weekend and mannnn was I excited :D

Its located right at the main road hence finding the place isn't a problem...The restaurant is quiet neat in terms of decor, nothing really fancy...its quiet spacious hence getting a table wasn't a problem even though it was a weekend dinner plan.

What we ordered-

Mochar Chop (Banana flower Croquettes) - I swear...This dish is a discovery!!! I mean I never imagined Banana flower can taste this delicious...mildly sweet and crispy and a very unique flavor of the banana flower.

Roshun Bhapa Maach (Steamed fish with garlic and chilli marinade) - This dish is absolute heaven but the problem is they serve only 2 fillets and then you keep longing for more... we chose Basa fish and trust me it was one of the most flavorful Basa Ive ever tried.
Murshidabadi Murgi Fry (Pan Grilled Chicken with herbs) - Its grilled chicken with skewers, quiet tasty and mildly spicy... was an instant hit with our 3 year old.
Chingri Fry (Pan Grilled Prawns with herbs) -
This dish is not on the menu since there aren't enough prawn starters, (And i LOVE Prawns) the waiter suggested we go for this dish... soft melt in your mouth prawns and mild flavors.

Kosha Mangsho (Pot Roasted Mutton in traditional spices) - If you like mutton then do try this dish...tender meat and robust flavors... my only complain, it was a little dry... personally i would have loved a little more gravy to go with my lucchis. 
Bhetki Shorshe Bata Jhal (Freshwater Betki in Mustard & Green Chilli Gravy) - The Fish was fresh and succulent, the gravy was rich and full of flavors...goes really well with plain rice.
Luchhis (Puris) & Plain Rice
a
nd Last but not the least 
Roshogulla 

I wont say the prices are exorbitant, it does fall under the expensive category but the food is well worth it.
