Claypot - Indian cuisine

 It's been a while since I visited this restaurant and last week I was invited to try out some of their dishes. 



They're also screening the IPL matches so it's a great choice if you're looking for good food which watching the cricket matches. Also, this ins't loud like a sports bar but is like a family restaurant. 





We started with some refreshing mocktails. My favourite was the virgin chilli mango margarita. It has the nice flavour like you're having a mango with chilli on it. 


For the starters, my favourite was the mutton galouti. It's extremely soft, and had a lovely flavour of the spices.


The kalmi kebab was also really good. These are chicken drumsticks marinated with spices. The pieces were chunky and had a nice spicy flavour. 

We also tried the ajwaini machhi tikka. The flavour was not bad. 

They have momos too and we tried the vegetarian tandoori momos. They were nice and flavourful.

Another vegetarian appetiser that we had was the dahi kebab. This is hung curd with roasted cumin and spices that is deep fried. It was something interesting, although a little bland for my liking. 

For our mains, we had the Goan prawn curry which was really delicious. It tasted best with rice. 

The malabar prawn curry was also quite good. 

They also have laal maas which is  Rajasthani style lamb in chilli yogurt gravy. It is something worth trying. 



For the vegetarian gravy, there was kumbh matar which is a combination of mushroom and peas in various spices. If you're a fan of mushrooms, you might like it. 

We had these with various Indian breads. The best of which was the dal ka paratha which is a paratha stuffed with a paste of mixed beans. I had it for the first time and really liked it. The cheese naan and lachha paratha were good too. 

Lastly we had the Lucknowi murgh biryani. It had a lovely aroma and a nice flavour to it. 

Among the desserts, my favourite was the gulab jamun cheesecake. 

The ras malai was also really good.

The kulfi and the gulab jamun were definitely worth trying.

The gajar halwa was just okay though. 

Overall it is a nice place if you want to go with your family for some good food and drinks.

Baku food : What did I eat in Azerbaijan?

Image
Azerbaijani food has a lot of Middle Eastern influence, and a lot of dishes are variations of those you get in the Middle East. There were a few good local restaurants I visited, and a few others too. I'm going to talk about all of these in this post.  The name of the dishes may be a bit different in Azeri (language), and some might just be a translation / description of the dish. You can click on the name of the restaurant to get the exact location.   Burc Qala [well known for Azeri cuisine]:- This is located in the heart of the city - Icheri Shehr (which means Old City). While walking through the old forts in this area, we came across this restaurant. The interiors feel really traditional. Also, a lot of shades of red are used. Here, I had the qutab , which is a very famous local dish; more of a snack. It is made from thinly rolled dough, and has filling inside. It usually has two variants - minced meat, and mixed greens. I had both and they were delicious. Both f...

Indo-Arab menu at Ashiana

Image
Ashiana is an Indian restaurant located in Sheraton beside Dubai Creek. Recently it has got a new head chef - Joseph Yohanna - and has started its Indo-Arab menu; and we were among the first ones invited to try it out.  This was my first time visiting this outlet, and as soon as I entered, the ambiance felt classy. They've got live Indian music too (bollywood, and ghazals), so if you're a fan, you'll love it, otherwise it might be a bit too loud.  We started off with some pani-puri fruit juice shots . In this, instead of the regular pani, there was a mango-based fruit juice. The taste wasn't bad by itself, but if you're in the mood for pani-puri, then this doesn't quite hit the spot.  After this, all the items were Indian, with an Arabic twist to it.  We had a soup which was called dejaj (chicken) shorba . In a bowl were small pieces of chicken, and a bread-stick tempered with cumin, over which we poured the broth that was served separately...

Oakberry Acai Bowls

Image
This is a Brazilian brand which has 200 outlets worldwide and has recently started in Dubai with 8 outlets. They invited me to try out their outlet in Citywalk. Most of their outlets here are kiosks but this is a comparatively bigger one. The ambience is nice and they've used a green and purple colour scheme which gives a bit of a earthy vibe.  You can customize your acai bowl or smoothie with the various ingredients that they have.  We took one with Acai, chia seeds, almonds, hazelnut, and strawberry. It was nice and healthy, although colder than usual. If you have it quickly, you might get a brain-freeze.  In the other one we had acai with condensed milk, strawberry, almonds and chia seeds. I liked the flavour of the condensed milk in this one.  It's a good place especially if you like to have something healthy.  Click here to salivate
