The name Wow Maggi and Pav itself is really catchy and when I saw their menu, I was really eager to try out their food. They delivered some at my house for a review.  It was delivered on time and everything was packed really well.  The first item was the pizza vada pav burger . This is a vada pav with the pizza sauce, and some vegetables in it. It looks a bit like a burger. It really had the taste of the pizza in a burger! I totally recommend it for all pizza fans.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Sep 30, 2019 at 7:19am PDT I'm a fan of momos, and when I saw they have a maggi cheese momo , I had to try this out. It has a generous amount of cheese in it which is the best part, and I got a good flavour of the maggi as well. The covering of the momo itself was also right.  They've got maggi biryani as well which sounded really interesting. These are maggi noodles that are birya...

This restaurant has recently started a few months ago.  We were looking for a restaurant that was open post midnight on a weekend and this was there, so we decided to check it out.  The main seating section is upstairs and it was fairly crowded for that time of the night.  The service was quick though.  We ordered a bhindi which was really good, and didn't have much of oil which was the good part.  We also had the paneer butter masala which had a nice consistency to it and was flavourful.  Along with it we had rice and roomali roti. The roti was a made from wheat and seemed more like a regular roti, but bigger in size. Overall food and service were good. 

This is a Pakistani restaurant that's located in Karama, and they offered to send me some food for a review. The food was packed nicely, though wasn't delivered at the specified time. I started with the chicken kadhai which is one of their specialities. Before I could even open the container, I could get the lovely aroma. The chicken was prepared well and the gravy was delicious. It was oily though.

It tasted really yum, especially with the chicken kadhai. The dal had a good consistency to it and tasted good. I think I was expecting a bit much after having the chicken kadhai. For dessert, I had the gulab jamuns which were still hot. These could have been a bit softer, though were pretty good taste-wise. The food over...

This restaurant is located in Kahlifa city, and was a bit hard to find since I couldn't see any board outside. I had to ask around and get in the right building. I was trying out their breakfast menu on this day and went there around 11am. It was a bit dimly lit; felt sort of dull for that time of the day.  As we ordered our food, they got us some crispy sticks to munch on along with chutney.  We started with idlis which were served with 2 delicious chutneys. There was a tomato based red one and a white coconut one, as well as samhbar on the side. The idlis were soft and had some ghee on them which made the taste even better. Then we had a masala dosa . This looked appealing and tasted good as well. It was served with the chutneys and sambhar as the idli.   I love egg dishes and I had to try their Indian shakshouka . It is very similar to the regular one but with some Indian spices. I like the eggs to be a bit runny but these weren't, and neither di...

The name sounds so desi and I was excited to try out the food from this place when they offered to send me some home for a review.  This fisrt thing I noticed is that it was nicely packed and there was no spillage. The paneer butter masala was really good. It was a bit on the tangier side, but I enjoyed every bite of it. It could have been a bit thicker though. The dal bukhara had a lovely aroma to it, and the consistency was good too. It tasted good with the rice.  I had this with plain parathas which were made well, but were a tad bit thicker than expected.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Sep 19, 2019 at 8:04am PDT I liked the fact that the food wasn't oily. It is a nice place to order food from. 

This is a small restaurant in International city. It has seating for about 10 people, and it feels crammed up.  For the drinks, I started with salted lassi . It was served in a small glass and tasted good, though I felt the quantity was a bit less.  We had the chapli kebab for starters. It was not as soft as expected, and the taste was alright. Among the chaat, there was the aloo tikki chaat which was nice. The chutneys gave a good flavour to it. Then came the paneer achari . The paneer was soft and the achari masala had a good flavour to it.  They've got soya chaap too, and we tried these out. These were good enough, but nothing quite special about it.  There is chicken barra  as well, and the flavours to this one were nice, but the chicken itself felt a bit under-cooked.  The chili chicken tasted really good, and had a nice Indo-Chinese taste to it.  For the mains, we had the egg curry . I really liked this one. Th...

This is their second outlet in Dubai, conveniently located on SZR.  It has nice interiors, and a very Indian upmarket feel to it. They have live music too.  We started with the samosa chaat which was really good. The dahi bhalla was good enough as well. Then we had a chaat platter - the hara bhara kebab was really good, and the fish tikka was nice and soft. The paneer tasted really yum.  For the mains, my favourite item would have to be the palak lasooni . It had a lovely flavour of the garlic which wasn't overpowering, and the spinach tasted lovely.  We had the Mutton stew , and the flavours were really good. The flavours of the spices had seeped into the flesh.  Dal makhani also tasted great. It had a nice consistency to it.  We ended our meal with their signature desserts - the beetroot halwa . This tasted delicious, and I would have never guessed that it is made of beetroot had I not known. Definitely worth a try. The o...
