Zaffran - Crawford Market

I have visited Zaffran at Rcity before and it had been a great experience but cant say the same about the outlet near Crawford market.
The waiter wasn't helpful at all...whenever we asked for a recommendation all he said was
"Ye hai menu, aap dekh lijiye aur decide kijiye" Like really???? We know there's a menu Einstein!!!
We ordered 3 chicken dishes out of which the quality of chicken in 2 of the dishes was really bad...tasted kinda stale.

What we ordered

Kachhi Kairi Margarita - This is a must try...tangy sweet spicy...jus yummm
Middle Eastern Lemonade - More of a gingery taste... quite refreshing
Murg Zaffrani Tikka - The chicken was well cooked and tasted pretty good
Gosht Seekh Kabab - The meat was little too dry for my taste... kinda ok
Murg Afghani - The gravy was really flavorful but as I mentioned above, the chicken pieces tasted stale
Chicken Biryani - Again everything except for the chicken pieces tasted heavenly...I fail to understand why cant they use better quality meat...or was it just our bad day??
Roti, Kulcha - Go for Butter Kulchas, soft & tasty.

Overall I would still give it a try but make sure that they don't serve me stale food again by warning them before hand....peace out!!

Rain Forest - Rcity, Mumbai

Every once a while when hubs is in no mood to spend much eating out...we end up here!!
So Ive been to this place a lot many times and tried too many dishes to mention

The ambiance is Romantic meets Sports bar meets Scary Jungle :p

The menu has Multi cuisine options

The prices are reasonable

The food is good enough for the pric

Good collection of Liquor

The staff is cordial and quick

So yes if you looking for good food that wont be a burden on your pocket then do try this place out...you might just like it... specially the kids for their jungle theme interiors

Toh Pet Hasega aur Pocket bhi Hasega!!

China 1 - BKC, Mumbai

A fine dine restaurant that made so much noise one couldn't miss....so there we were, me and hubs with another couple friend and kids, meeting for dinner.
Heavy automated door and a huge dim lit room... Quiet Dramatic must say.
Took us time to decide whether to have dinner here or move to Sabrosa which is just next door since we were with kids and there's nothing really to keep them occupied or enough open space for them to do their thing plus as I mentioned earlier the lights are just very very dim... anyways we finally settled at the tall pub like tables and chairs (very unusual for a fine dine restaurant) and placed our order but the service was snail paced and reached our table only after several reminders... Guess it was just a busy day for the team.

What we ordered -

Sauteed Assorted Mushrooms - This is a must try if you like mushrooms...we asked them to avoid wild mushrooms since we aren't a big fan...quiet spicy and yum
General MaoTai Chin Chilli Chicken - Was nice but nothing really great about it 
Water-Chestnut, Lotus Root & Asparagus in Black Pepper Sauce - Again a very average dish
Vegetarian Fukien Rice - Average!!
Vegetable Noodles - Better than the rice that we ordered but okaish

So overall didn't have a great experience, I am sure they can do better than this.
