GrillO

This is one of the restaurants that that my friends frequently visit.  We went there on a Friday and it wasn't very crowded.  We ordered a whole chicken done in the mild wild sauce. We didn't quite find it spicy. The taste was pretty good and the chicken was juicy.  We also ordered a meal for four - this comes with a large pizza, and two sides. I wish it also included beverages.  It was chicken tikka pizza that we asked for, and it was cheesy, and the chillies made it spicy as well.  For the sides, we asked for masala fries and garlic bread (with cheese). These tasted good along with the pizza.  The service seemed a bit slow, and the staff wasn't all that attentive.  A good enough experience overall. 

Shake Shack

Shake Shack has interesting stuff, and they invited me to try their delicious food. I was pleasantly surprised to see this outlet. It was pretty big and spacious for a mall. It also has a little play area with a foosball table. There's an entrance from the front side of the mall too, and you don't have to go through the main entrance all around.  We started with the cheese fries . These were crinkle cut and topped with melted cheese; these tasted good. One of their speciality burgers is the Shack Stack . This is a cheeseburger and crisp-fried portobello mushroom filled with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, shack sauce. The beef patty along with this combination tastes really good. The portobello mushroom has a prominent flavour and it's a treat for mushroom lovers.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Nov 23, 2019 at 7:18am PST They have a couple of options in chicken and we tried th...

Status Kitchen

This place has some really delicious stuff to offer. Before I get to that, let me tell you that it is really small, and has negligible seating. It is mostly suited for takeaways or ordering in and is located in one of the by-lanes in Mirdiff behind Lifco supermarket. There are a few parking spots right outside the restaurant too. We started with the macaroni balls . You can make out from the picture below as to how good they might be. These are really cheesy and I enjoyed every bite of it.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Oct 2, 2019 at 9:14am PDT They have fries too, and we had the status special fries which come in a huge portion size and can be shared by 2-3 people. They're loaded with cheese, jalapenos, and more; these tasted really delicious.  I'm usually not a big fan of the kunafa shrimp but I liked the one I had here. Crispy from the outside and soft & meaty from the inside...

Double Decker - burgers and lots more

If you're looking for an upmarket place that is open-air and serves some great burgers, then you've come to the right one. They were having the world burger tour and had invited a few of us for the event.  They had a live burger station where you could customize our burgers. You could choose the bun, the meat, and the fillings, and you could see it being made in front of you. I tried a lamb burger and a chicken one, and I must say both of these were juicy and flavourful. There wasn't much in there apart from the patty and the bun, but it did feel really satisfying.  There also was a burger eating competition that day where there was a 2kg beef burger. "It was huge" and that's an under-statement. Though this isn't the one I had, I really did like the idea of having it.  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Famished Explorer [ UDIT ] (@uditss) on Feb 10, 2019 at 4:16am PST ...

Super Chix

The name is so catchy and definitely feels American. They serve some delicious food which I was invited to try out. The interesting thing is that among the meats, they only serve chicken. They do have some vegetarian offerings too though. When I read the words "last true chicken sandwich", I was intrigued and asked them about it. They said that the chicken is fresh and not frozen as opposed to what most places have to offer. Now this is fabulous. Since it is self-service, you need to place the order at the counter, and they will give it at your table. As you wait for your food, they have a bag of popcorn that you can munch on. It is rosemary and black pepper flavoured. It is free and obviously small, since you do not want to fill your tummy with this. We started with the grilled . It is a burger that has chicken fillet with garlic, aioli, pickles, lettuce and tomato. The chicken tasted really fantastic. The ingredients felt fresh too. I think it felt a tad bit...
