The H Hotel has been in talks recently because of the brand new Irani - Parsi restaurant Moombai & Co. I wanted to experience what is the hype all about, I was happy to be invited to such lively fun place. 

As soon as we entered, we were escorted to our table. This place completely reminds me about the Mumbai streets because of the movie posters on the walls. They also have antique board of Kingfisher and olden times televisions which had only Doordarshan. Most amazing thing is the Rickshaw which is still most popular in India. They play dholak to celebrate birthday's and make it more especial. They have different seating arrangements indoor as well as outdoor. The music played from yesteryear's will take you back to future. 

The staff is very friendly. Especially our server Mukesh, he gave us brief intro and guided us through the menu. That helped us to take decisions and choose from menu. They have a huge variety of alcohol drinks I hope they also increase the Non-Alcoholic drinks because there are only 5 drink without DAARU totally unfair.

What We Tried There:

While we were deciding, they served us with Aam ka Panna as a welcome drink, crispy Papad and chuttneys.

Pappad & Chuttney's

Starting with small appetite we decided to have famous Pao Bhaji which you can find on route Mumbai to Goa and vice versa as the street food which is easily available and also very tasty.

The quantity of Bhaji was very nice and the soft butter bread would just melt down.

Our second small appetite was Tareli Kolmi which is ginger garlic marinated prawns and then fried.

Prawns were juicy and crispy. If you are prawns lover then this is a #MustTry.

Barbeque is something that Mumbai is famous for, our first choice was Murg Malai Tikka. It is perfect for people who doesn't like spicy but yet very delicious. The flavor of yogurt and other spices just tantalized the taste buds.

Tandoori Chicken is our #AllTimeFavorite, the aroma of spices and burnt charcoal makes it yummy. I loved the chutney and salad served with it.

Our last barbeque had to be seafood, we chose Hari Mirch Ka Jhinga. It is marinated in green chilly mix with other spices but once it hits the charcoal oven the spiciness is reduced but still you get the hint of chillies.

Hari Mirch Ka Jhinga

All of the barbeques had amazing flavours, each one different from others. I #HighlyRecommend to try any one of it or all three.

Restaurants located in the heart of the city are the ones famous, there few restaurants which goes unnoticed because they are in interior places. But there are new places which have started growing very fast. This place which I visited I heard it for first time and my first experience. This place is known as Uptown Mirdiff don't mistake it with city center Mirdiff, both are different. Uptown Mirdiff is a new mall which have various dining options. I was invited by MYBC to try out their updated menu and freak shakes. Well #LifeIsTooShort to not eat all the great food in the world.

MYBC is american inspired restaurant. It have huge graffiti design on the walls and different type of seating arrangements. They also make cookies which they use in freak shake. They also have seating area outside restaurant.

What We Tried There:

Sriracha Chicken Fingers

Hurricane Prawns

We chose Double Crunch Chicken Burger with Steak Fries you can either choose house fresh salad. I wanted to eat black colour burger, it is funny I know! The burger is huge with crispy breaded chicken breast and coleslaw. If you are burger person like me then this is #HighlyRecommended. Those fries were just amazing and big with perfect seasoning.

Next I wanted dessert but instead of choosing something from their dessert section I chose something from Sweet Tooth Breakfast. If you know me for a while then you know what to expect.

We ordered MYBC Fluffy Pancakes, firstly there were four big fluffy layers of pancakes. Which had mixed berries and maple syrup. It had perfect sweetness and if you wanted to make it more sweet then you could add maple syrup. Pancake lovers here is something new you can try out, it was one of #MyFavorite of the  evening.

Lastly the show stopper of the day was their Freak Shakes. Our first freak shake was Peanut Butter and Fluff, it had vanilla ice cream mixed with peanut butter and lot of whipped cream with caramel popcorn, kitkat and choco stick on it. It was delicious and couldn't have enough of it.

Weekday's are very hectic and to plan something interesting can be really difficult. Most of the time I don't plan because it get ruined if I plan anything, it need to be spontaneous. After having a ordinary boring day I check my mails and I see one more invite which is from the new dessert parlor at Al Barsha known as YMI.

Ymi is a newly opened dessert parlor which serves Juices and Crepes. They have very limited options to choose from Crepes. As people arrived in parlor most of them were confused because they didn't know what to order and secondly they didn't know what crepe is!? Crepe is a very thin pastry which is made up of wheat flour and then stuffed with anything and folded in triangular shape. It took me little while because I didn't know how it would taste, Rose who served us helped us decide to pick the dishes for us. It have good location and instantly pops because of the colors and there is no issue with parking.

What We Tried There:

We started with Crepes. Our first savory crepe was Cheese & Turkey, we also added olives and mushrooms in it.  Second savory crepe was Cheese & Mushroom, Garlic in we added olives. I must say one crepe is enough for one person. It didn't have any spices but still the individual ingredient had their own flavors which blended nicely together. Definitely give anyone of it a try it's delicious.

Barbeque Nation is a successful casual dining restaurant at affordable price. It not only the chain of restaurants or company but also awarded as best places to work as the study was conducted by Economic Times. They have more then 85+ outlets in India and now they are extending their food magic in other countries.

Their first branch was in Al Barsha, whenever I use to pass by this restaurant I use to plan  to visit but due to my busy schedule it wasn't possible. Recently they opened up their second branch in Al Karama. Last week I was lucky that I have been specially invited for the opening of the restaurant.  

As soon as we enter we were escorted by the supervisor to our designated place. The restaurant is spacious and very well planned. Later we were explained how the flow of the restaurant works out. 

Starting with the Live Grill, you can have unlimited barbeque as long as you want. They have Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian options. We opted for Non-Veg, we were served Punjabi Tangdi and Mutton Masala Seekh. For grilling they had Chicken Tikka, Parsley Fish and Chilli Garlic Prawns. #MyFavorite was their tangdi and chilli prawns it proper spices and was tender.

Next we wanted to try out something from their Live Cooking section, we opted for Pav Bhaji and Indo-Chinese Hot and Sweet Noodles.
The Bhaji was already cooked only thing was done they made it bit hot and Pav was fried in butter. It did lack on taste factor.

Pav Bhaji

Next the veggies were very raw but the hot and sweet sauce made it up for the taste but it can still improve a lot.

Hot & Sweet Noodles

In Main Buffet section we started with salad, I had to start with #MyFavorite Corn Salad and Jalapeno Pasta. They had nice descent spread of buffet which included roti, seafood crab masala, butter chicken, paneer masala and more.

I was full but #ChickenBiryani being my first love I had to try it out. They also had Veg Biryani and Mutton Biryani. Biryani had good flavours and chicken was also soft and juicy but the rice was bit dry. Mixing it out with Raita made it up for it.

Veg, Chicken & Mutton Biryani

For Drinks we chose Fruity Hop which is mixture of Guava, Lychee and Orange. Second drink was Spicy Tango which had Aam Ras, Tabasco. It made it really spicy drink but I loved the taste. Both drinks were flavorful and yummy. I totally #Recommend it. Spicy Tango is a #MustTry.

Lastly for dessert we tried their Kulfi Falooda, Yogurt Delight, Kesari Phirni, Chocolate Brownie and Jalebi with Rabdi. I loved all of the dessert but what stood out for me was Kulfi Falooda and Jalebi with Rabdi. You can select whichever Kulfi you like and the toppings as per your taste, you can just customize it as per your flavours. Jalebis are made hot in front of you and rabdi is poured over it. It just melt down in mouth, I #HighlyRecommend this to you.
