SWATI SNACKS, TARDEO

My Veggie Delight!
      Here's introducing you all another lip smacking restaurent of SOBO!
The entrance has a wall dedicated to the several awards that they have received for putting up this fabulous place.The menu is different, in the sense that they offer gujrati specialities mentioned in original names unless one reads the footer, its difficult to interpret, theregular sabji, roti, thali is absent. Limited menu which is authentic, the usual sweet taste conspicuous by its absence, served with required appropriate add-ons makes it all special! The best part is that they have managed to keep the taste up to date. One cannot complain but just allow it to get down the buds smoothly!!Be it the Khicchu or the elegant panki, the tastes are all so appropriate.
Me being an avid non veg eater do not easily enter a "veg only rest", but at this place I wont mind being a vegetarian forever!!
THUMBS 4/5!!

The Punjab Grill by Jiggs Kalra..!

हेल्लो THERE ,
     Located at phoenix mills is this lovely and grand restaurent. Heard about it several times from friends and in good terms, so i too wished to go. :) As much as i heard about it, it was not all that deserving for appreciation.But definitely one of the good restaurents in Mumbai. 
    The start with tissue popups was a pleasant way to greet, the a-la-carte menu looked mouth watering too! I did'nt care about the price that day, the order we zeroed was tandoori duck, chicken and almond soup, and a fish curry, the name of which i fail to recollect. Was melting in our mouths, i mean it was quite well cooked. Then to end our meal there were these awesome paanshots  at first look i thought, it was herbal chaas!
Uh the downs i would say- service,  intertable spacing should have been more appropriately planned, I happened to meet or rather bump into my junior, who were on the next table for their valentine celebration, therefore the intertable spacing. Though Ankita my sister did not seem to mind this considering the fact that she could peep into other's tables to chose her order for next visit ;).
    I give punjab grill - thumbs three on five.
    Would like to go there again!

THE CHICKEN DHANSAK

हेल्लो EVERYONE,
I RECENTLY SAW ON TV, ACTOR BOMAN IRANI TALK OF THIS IRANI DISH , HOW FONDLY HE WAS EATING IT FROM HIS DABBA AT WORK. 
AS A MATTER OF CHANCE I HAPPENED TO GO TO BANDRA  AFTER A GOOD LONG THREE YEARS I GUESS, IT WAS FIVE P.M AND MY LUNCH AND BREAKFAST WAS PENDING,SO I STEPPED INTO THIS BAKERY SHOP "CHERON'S" ON HILL ROAD. THEY OFFER CHICKEN AND MUTTON DHANSAK, BEING MY FIRST TRY, I TOOK A  CHICKEN DHANSAK PARCEL.
WHEN HOT IT TASTES GOOD. GINGER SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR COMPONENT OF IT. IT IS A TYPE OF CHICKEN GRAVY SERVED WITH THICK BROWN RICE. MUST SAY THE CUCUMBER-ONION SALAD THAT I GOT IN THE PARCEL WENT VERY WELL WITH THE DISH. A DIFFERENT CHICKEN CURRY FOR A CHANGE. PRICED DECENTLY AT RUPPEES 110/-
