Dialogue - Indian lounge

 I recently visited this newly opened restaurant in Majestic Hotel. They invited me to try out their food and drinks. It has a nice ambience which is brighter than the previous restaurant which was there and they have more seating space too. They have a live band playing on certain days; there wasn't one when I went (Thursday) but there was a live DJ who was playing some great music. They have some interesting cocktails and their mixologist Rocky does some great work with the beverages. We started with the Rock-key ride to Himalayas which is their version of the long island ice-tea. It was kickass.  Then we had the  Be Mine  which is a vodka based drink and was great.  The next one was the forbidden pleasure which is a whiskey based drink and has burnt orange in it.

Chaat Bazaar - Al Nahda

 I've dined at other outlets of chaat bazaar, and I was invited to try out this newly opened one. We had one of their chaat combos - the Chaat Bazar in a box . It contains masala pav, batata vada, bhel puri, punjabi papdi chaat, delhi dahi bhalla, goan basket, kolkatta ghugni chaat, gulab jamun. The masala pav tasted good but was more like a pav bhaji itself. The dahi bhalla was average. I loved the kolkatta ghugni. The bhel puri had become a tad bit soggy. We also had their kashmiri pakoda rolls . These were cheesy on the inside and crispy on the outside. We totally enjoyed them. One of their fusion items is the dabeli tacos . As the name suggests, it is the dabeli masala inside a taco. It is an interesting combination to try out. Something that made me pleasantly surprised was the karak mojito . It is basically iced karak tea. I personally loved it. If you're a fan of karak chai and like experimenting, then this might be your cup of tea !
