FAMISHED EXPLORER

This is a healthy restaurant and I've recently started having healthy food so I've taken a liking towards it. A friend of mine invited me here and I was excited to check out the restaurant.  The ambience is nice and has earthy green and brown colours although it's not a very big place.  While we waited for our food, we munched on some makhana (lotus seeds / fox nuts) which is a nice touch.  We had a refreshing drink - the Summer Cooler . This one is watermelon based with a twist of mint. Perfect for this hot weather.  A classic starter is the Tandoori chicken . This one was served with mint chutney and was just average though. It could have had more flavour to it.  Dabeli is one of my favourite Indian street snacks, and they have the Black Dabeli here. They basically use black pav with the dabeli masala inside. The taste itself was really good, although a little different from what I imagine for a dabeli. Also, the pav wasn't as hot as expe...

I've taken a liking towards health food recently, and was looking forward to some Acai, when these guys offered to send it over for a review.  You can choose between a bowl and a jar, along with various customization options.  I opted for the build your jar which is a totally customizable option. I chose the Pure Acai along with the blueberry blend . For the seeds, there are quite a few choices and I opted for the more traditional one - Granola . There are a lot of extra toppings which you can chose and I added some pomegranate and Greek yogurt .  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Udit 📷 [Famished Explorer] (@uditss) on Jul 26, 2020 at 8:46am PDT The delivery arrived well before expected time and I could only have it after I got back home.  Most of the times I've had Acai freezing cold, but this time since I had waited for a bit, it wasn't freezing by the time I had it and I really liked the taste. The pomegranat...

We were passing by this area and decided to stop here for some Chinese.  Started with some dynamite chicken which was flavourful. It wasn't as spicy as expected though but was good. Next we had the lamb burnt chilli . This had some really good flavour to it. I really liked the chilli in this, and the texture of the lamb was good too.  For the mains, we had the chicken pot rice . The flavour in this was bland for our liking. We were expecting something a bit more flavourful.  The staff is attentive and courteous.  There is a wide variety of items on the menu. 

I like to try out new sushi places. Yo sushi is a very well known outlet, although it was my first tie trying it out.  They have the conveyor belt sushi offers too, but we just opted for the regular dine-in.  We started with the smoked salmon and cream cheese roll. It had some cucumber in it too, and I liked the combination of salmon with the cream cheese. After this we had the dynamite roll. If you like a bit of spicy flavours then this one is great. It's got salmon, chill oil, and avocado that's rolled in crispy onion, and topped with sriracha and mayo. A burst of flavours there.  For a quick bite, we ordered the popcorn shrimp. This is tempura shrimp drizzled with sweet shiro miso and chilli sauce. I would have liked this to be a bit on the spicy side instead of sweet.  For the accompaniments, we called for a prawn Yakisoba. I was expecting an average sized portion of the noodles, but this was quite small. The taste was not bad. We thought ...

I had heard  good things about this place and went here on the suggestion of a friend. The ambience is casual yet gives an upmarket feel to it.  The menu isn't extensive but they have some interesting items. We started with the poha crusted prawns . The name itself was so interesting. It looked nice when it was served and it was exactly what the name suggests - prawns that are coated with poha and are crispy. The texture was great and so was the taste. It was served with an orange chutney. I'm not the kind who'd generally have vada-pav at an upmarket restaurant; I prefer it at small roadside eateries, but on the suggestion of my friends, we ordered a vada-pav . It was actually good. It had chutney inside, and was served with chillies and some salad on the side.  The next starter that we had was the avocado papdi chaat . This was similar looking to sev-puri but with avocado in it. It was a bit too sweet for our liking. For my beverage, I had masala chaans and was nice and...

I hadn't tried Vietnamese food before and when I heard about this, I was looking forward to check it out.  They had some music playing outside and it easily grabbed our attention. There is seating indoors (for about 15 people) as well as outdoors.  They surprisingly have a wide variety of vegetarian items and that's what we tried. Some of the dishes might be available with meat too so you've got a choice there if you're a non-vegetarian.  We started with the veg gyoza . These had a filling of water chestnut and carrot. Now I'm not a huge fan of water chestnut but these tasted really good.  Next we chose one of the soups - the Pho Chay . The word "Chay" means vegetarian and you'll see it in a few more dishes in this review. This one had lotus root, mushroom, and tofu in it.It was served with some bean sprouts and chillies on the side, and I totally liked it. I did add a couple of sauces which they gave us and that really accentuated the flavour. Anothe...
