Veg Tandoori Platter: Veggies like broccoli, potato, capsicum, paneer are marinated in perfect flavours of spiced and then cooked in charcoal and served with mint chutney. This platter is a must try here.
Dal Makhani: they call it Maa ki Daal here, cooked to the perfection that the dal is so perfectly cooked that you feel buttery taste and the melting lentils when eaten.

Subz Diwani Handi: A classic authentic royal vegetables cooked and served in a traditional Indian handi, this is one of my all-time favourites here because the flavours of authentic spices and the perfect blend of cream in little gravy are one of the best dishes here.

Box 8 (Mumbai & Pune)

Hi everyone!
How are you all? Hope all well! The weekend is here and so is my new post for you all. Today I will share my experience with one of the takeaways and home delivery store named Box 8 which is one of the places from where I love to order food. Located in many areas in Mumbai and Pune,  this takeaway place serves really amazing food in a unique way. The service is quick, the staff is helpful and the food is really nice.

Talking about the food, what all we love to order?
Spicy Paneer Meal: A box of meal with spicy paneer gravy along with dal makhani, rice/roti, salad, chutney and dessert. You can call it a mini thali. The perfect taste of spicy paneer gravy and dal makhani cooked to perfection is one of the best meals I like to order. As the option is between rice and paratha, I mostly opt for Rice, as I don’t like the paratha here.
Chole Tikki Meal: A box of meal with spicy chole gravy with tikki along with rice, salad, chutney and dessert. Same as spicy paneer, just one thing changes in the menu and that is chole. The chole that I get here.

Dilli wale Rajma Chawal fusion box: A box layered with rice, rajma, garlic yoghurt, chutney and salad. All you have to do is just mix all and eat. I just love this idea of serving. The rajma is made to perfection, just like what my mom makes and the garlic yoghurt is just amazing.
Grilled Patty Sub: Delicious veg patty made in a subway style with their signature sauce and salad. This is the only sub which I love here.

Overall my experience here has always been amazing and satisfying. I would suggest everyone who has not yet ordered from here shall try it out once and I’m sure you will love it. The food here is amazing and the staff is helpful too.

Pop Tate's (Mumbai)

Hi everyone!
How are you all? Hope all well! The weekend is here and so is my new post for you all. So, I visited this place a few weeks back for my friend’s party. Basically, it has branches in many places in Mumbai but I visited their Malad branch. I’m talking about Pop Tate’s.

The ambience is very attractive and funky and I couldn’t stop myself checking each and everything carefully. The music is catchy and you would just want to get up and dance. The staff was friendly and the service was impressive.
Talking about the food, what all we ordered?
Veg Bombastic: Mix veg balls deep fried and served in the bowl full of the liquid cheesy dish. This is a perfect blend of veggies and cheese and the taste is simply different. A must try because this is some I had for the first time.
Paneer Shashlik Sizzler: One of my favourite sizzlers, the shashlik sauce was made to the perfection and flavours were to the core perfect. Served with rice, onion, capsicum and French fries the sizzler was delicious.

Cross Country Pizza: Unlike a regular pizza this had diced veggies with a unique and different pizza sauce which gave a scrumptious taste to the pizza. It is said that the pizza sauce is chef’s special.

Arrabiata Pasta: The arrabbiata sauce in the pasta was spicy as I liked and was mixed with penne and black olives, this pasta was good in taste and texture. The sauce was perfectly cooked and I was happy that it wasn’t sour in taste.
Nachos & Beans: After my experience with Nachos at Quessco, I started liking it further. In fact I liked the nachos served here, covered with cheese sauce along with salsa and beans, this was something I enjoyed.

Sizzling Brownie: the Best ending to scrumptious dinner is a perfect dessert. What can be better than having a sizzling brownie with ice-cream? Well, I won’t say much about it as I find the taste of this dessert same almost everywhere.

Overall my experience here was superb and I would recommend everyone who has not been to this place yet to just try it out once and I’m sure you will love it. The food here is amazing, the music and the ambience is perfect and the staff is helpful, just what you want for a perfect evening with friends.

Quessco Ristorante (Mumbai)

Ciao! Hola! Swasdi! Everyone! You might be thinking what’s wrong with me. Relax its just a “Hello’ in Italian, Mexcian, and Thai Language, and the reason why I greeted you all like that is because of the restaurant I had recently tried.

Well, actually there is a story behind eating out at this place. I’m a total foodie, loves to explore new restaurants and food joints. So here I was sitting and doing nothing when my sister (cousin) asked me to accompany her to a play in Prithvi theatre. Listening to that the first thing came to my mind was Prithvi Café! As I wanted to visit Prithvi Café for so long just to try the food there, here was the chance and I was happily ready to grab it.

So after the nice time, we spend watching the play, my stomach started asking for its fuel. But for my bad, the café had a HUGE waiting line, so we searched on zomato and decided to check out this place.

“QUESSCO RISTORANTE” the name itself sounds a bit of Italian. Situated on the 2nd floor of Link Plaza Commercial Premises above Shreejee Veg near on the main road of Link Road in Oshiwara, the place serves Vegetarian food in Italian, Mexican and Thai. While entering the premises, you will think if the restaurant is good enough or not. But as soon as you step out of the lift you will say ‘wow’. The ambience is amazing and is soothing for you. They make you feel at home and relaxed that you will fall in love with the place automatically. I will recommend you to make prior reservations as that will be more convenient, though they also entertain if you just walk in, it’s better to make prior reservations.

The ambience is perfectly done and I must say, I felt super relaxed as soon as I step in. They also have outdoor dining available which can be a good experience during good weather. The staff here is really nice; as soon as we settled down we had the menu in hand and a staff member to attend.

So what we all ordered?

Cheese Corn Balls: The perfect taste of cheese and corns fried and served with a dip this is a good appetizer to start your meal with.

Cheese Garlic Bread: One of the most amazing things I like about garlic bread is that it should taste of garlic along with butter and a good amount of cheese loaded on it and here you get it exactly the way you want it to be.

Nachos El Classico: Honestly, I’m not that big fan of Nachos but what they serve here is to die for. One bite and I was totally in love with it. The crispy nachos covered with salsa and cream cheese and baked beans the taste was so good that I would love to come here again just to have this alone. 

Rosso Pasta: Th scrumptious taste of red and white sauce mixed together and tossed with veggies and pasta, this is worth trying out here. The perfection with which they make it is to die for. 

Death By Chocolate: As the name suggests, it is actually a death when you skip this. One of the best desserts they serve here is this and it is worth trying out. 

Overall, the food was super yummy, I had a huge smile on my face with every first bite of everything I ate that night, and it was totally satisfying. I love to cook and as Sanjeev Kapoor says “You should eat twice, before actually eating the food, i.e., from eyes (presentation), from the nose (smell) and finally from the mouth (taste).” And I always follow that. So, each time when they served our order, I looked at the presentation first (which actually everyone does), and it was really nice. I liked the way they presented the dishes and taste, as I already mentioned, it was 10 on 10.

The service here is really quick, which is really very impressive. The staff is friendly and helps you in everything, from a confusion of what to order, to how they made this or that.

At the end of the main course, we were super full but still, we wanted to eat dessert and we didn’t regret that, as it was really very very delicious. In most of the restaurants, along with the bill comes mouth fresheners but here they serve cute small yummy chocolates, which was again impressive for me.

I heard that ‘Chimichangas’ is the best dish here, which I wasn’t aware of or else we would have definitely tried it too, but no issues that will be there in my mind and I will try it on my next visit. I really loved the restaurant and would like to visit here again soon and would love to recommend it to everyone.

So this is it…

Thanks for reading! I will be back soon with a new post. Right now I’m going to be busy with my exams, so till then, enjoy, keep reading and keep loving my work.

Sayonara!

Will be back with another post soon.

Till then take care…

With Love.
