Singh Saab, Balewadi

Saw a random reel on Instagram that caught my attention. The food items in the reel looked tempting, so the reel made its way to the saved items.  While looking for a place for anniversary dinner, the saved reel stuck my mind.  It was around 20 mins drive from home.  The place was well located. It had indoor and outdoor seating with clean washroom and a separate hand wash area.  We were given the menu which had ample options including soups, starters, Chinese, punjabi.  Being punjabi at heart and the restaurant being punjabi too, we wished to have punjabi cuisine.  We ordered singh saab special thali which included 5 types of veggies, 4 types of paranthe, raita, sweet, papad, lassi and then ordered additional lachchha parantha and a garlic naan.  This was followed by chhole bhature and lassi.  The service took some time but they item was as delicious and tempting as it looked in the insta reel.  The place was quite economical and was complete...

Radha Krishna, Pimple Saudagar

Radha Krishna is a pure veg outlet in Pimple Saudagar located on the main road, opposite rainbow plaza.  It was our 12th anniversary and we planned to visit Radha Krishna restaurant for their famous breakfast buffet.  We reached there around 9am and settled down on one of the tables.  The buffet spread had variety of dishes: Misal Pav Idli Mini wada Poha Upma Kanda bhaji Rice kheer Dosa & utthapam on order Milk, tea & coffee The items were all well maintained to be hot, and the supplies were continuously being replenished.  The place & ambience is both good, food is superb and a huge spread in ₹199 is definitely worth on a lazy weekend morning 🌞

Shriniwas veg, seasons mall

Image
We had a plan of going out for lunch during office hours. Wanted to find a place nearby. Searched Zomato to zero in on Shriniwas veg. A new veg restaurant that had opened up in seasons mall. The menu was also kind of pre-decided. We tried booking on Zomato for 1pm and it showed full, do we booked for 1.30pm. we reached there according to our booked slot and found the place quite vacant. It has a separate section for fast food items, an enclosed seating area with AC and an open area. We took our table in the open area and ordered almost what we had already decided. The green Island was way too sweet in the first attempt which they later made better on getting the feedback , while the virgin mojito was good. We tried tomato bruschetta and dragon rolls for starters. Both were put of league and were good to taste something different. The main course was good including the butter garlic naan. By then we were too full, but still wanted to try the desserts too. So called for a sizzling browni...

Pakwan - The food tradition, Pimple Saudagar

A lot of food joints, restaurants and food outlets keep opening everyday. Some make a mark ont heir customers while the others are just like that. We saw a lot of positive reviews about pakwan on different online platforms and thought of giving it a try. They are famous for their jumbo thali which is much more than just sufficient for a group of 6. We went out for dinner on a weekday after office. The waiting was huge. They have a good seating capacity and a gathering hall as well. They have a good open space for waiting and have some activities for the kids to pass time while waiting. There are also wooden cots(manjiyan) to sit and wait. The inside decor is good. Food is delicious and the service is prompt. We were just 3 adults so went for a-la carte. The pakwan special thali meant for a group of 6 was getting into a lot of wastage in most of the cases as per my observation.

Pizza Hut, Calangute, Goa

Kids and adults are always in for pizza alike. So when the kids demanded pizza for dinner, everyone was happily ready for it. There was a pizza hut outlet few metres away from our hotel. We dropped in there and got a comfortable round table sofa seating. We waited for our order to be taken. No one was willing to take the order, most of the items.on the menu were not available and the service was very slow. Whatever was ordered the first time, that was it. We did not have the courage to order again and again wait for ages for the order to arrive. The kids were already tired and sleepy. We finished the pizzas and garlic breads and returned back to our hotel. That specific outlet needs to boost up their image and service.

Blue Apple Restaurant and Bar

We wanted to have good dinner not too far away from our hotel. Searched online and found this place interesting. It was approx 10 min drive from our hotel. The restaurant had bar on the ground floor and the restaurant seating was on the first floor. The seating area had big windows and a TV. We were hungry and ordered the soups and starters, followed by main course. The service was slow, the quantity was less and even the taste of the food wasn't great. It was taking them eternity to get salad. It was an overall disappointing visit which had to be covered up with amul Ice Cream from an amul parlour on the way. Request everyone, please post only your honest reviews about a place and not if you've been invited or asked to review.

Pind Balluchi, Calangute, Goa

Around 20 hours after leaving home, we had finally reached our resort in goa located in calangute. All of us were hungry and wanted to have a good lunch. After check-in and shower, we walked down to Pind Balluchi restaurant located a few steps from our resort. The restaurant was nicely decorated. It wasn't crowded. We got comfortable sofa seats. We ordered food which consisted of masala papad, paneer tikka masala, dal makhani, bread basket. The service was good, food was yummy, ambience was relaxing. A very good experience overall.
