Sancho's Restaurante & Cantina

We had decided to go and have 1 drink from each place we go and hoping we would get place on Friday Night yes right. 

After deciding, I really wanted to go to Taco Fresco and Sanchos which I heard about and good reviews too. Well we wanted to drink so Taco Fresco was out and yes Sanchos looked really appealing. We were greeted and shown to the table. The atmosphere and ambiance was good but I did not feel like I was in a mexican restaurant thought would be more colourful but we wanted to have a good time. 

We ordered drinks Tequila Vela Cruz (Tequila, rum mix with slush), Las Cumbres (Sparkling wine cocktail) and Cartel Conversation (Creamy mix of Tequila and Vodka) all drinks costing Rs. 325 each. 

First thing which we saw in the Menu card was Chocolate Chicken Mole Taquitos which was brilliant, chicken pasted with chocolate sauce and served hot. Very tasty and melt in your mouth feeling. 

We went for Fiesta Nachos which gave you lots of sauce and 3 types of Nachos which were so different from what tasted, friend ordered just another Nachos plate with another plate of sauce. 

We ordered Sauteed Veg Burritos and Chicken Fajitas, which was devoured with glee and with special request chef made the Burritos extra spicy. 

The top of the list was the dessert which was recommended called as Tres Leches which was super amazing and we packed one for home. 

Total damage: Rs. 3500

Overall experience, pretty good. I suggest make a reservation and go during weekends which would generally be full.

La kebabiya - Lunch Buffet

Near my new office there are lots of eating joint located and one is Le Kebabiya located opposite Hyundai showroom in Lokhandwala.

When I went there last time it was for drinks and hookah and IPL matches but did not know it serves you Lunch buffet also. Colleagues were planning to go for Friday Buffet and i tagged along.

The place is bit cramped in terms of space but the spread is nice which is written down.
Soup (veg and non veg) we got Manchow soup
8 starters (4 veg and 4 non veg). The good part about the starters was they were prepared only after guest arrive so we would get them hot and nice. The best of all was Malai kebab which was soft and tasty. Also there are 2 chinese in the starters and 4 Indian and 2 Mexican. The waiters serve it to you so you do not have to leave the table again and again.

Then there was main course which had 12 dishes in total out of which there was Mexican, Italian and Indian again....the buffet is such a risky deal if you are lucky you can get the best or the worst. But we had an 50-50 deal in terms of quality and taste.

The best of the lot was the dessert, we had 5 flavors of Ice Cream, Chocolate Souffle and Firni which was super duper tasty.

All in all for Rs. 325 without taxes on Friday it is a good deal if you want to sleep at work.

Freshly ground black pepper

Clean and cut Papaya and mix with grapes and all the other ingredients. Put red chilly powder, salt and black pepper to suit your taste. Yummy Fruit salsa is ready.

You could use mango, banana or chikoo instead of Papaya. You could also skip the raw garlic if you are expecting a date ;). If you don’t have lemon juice, use 1 teaspoon vinegar instead. For a more cooling effect you could also mix in some cucumber.

If you are in a very crazy mood – mix in some strawberry, blueberries or all those exotic fruits u can find in your fridge. Oh yes, you could also add some Olives.

Enjoy!!!!

Flag - A Veg Multi Cuisine

Have being going to this place for ages, my first visit was during my college days after a movie had whole sizzler and then forgot about the place.

Family said why not try it out and i said ok...so for past 3 years we are regular infact more i guess. I say it is my family celebration restaurant coz i never get tired of eating at this joint.

Place was started by a guy who came down from States after doing his Hotel Management course and then taken over by a South Indian Management, which at first sucked coz they started serving dosa also, but later got into the groove.

The place has it all Indian Mughlai but not the regular Navratan and Kolhpure fare but something like Tiranga and other supremely tasty dishes. Don't miss on the Cheese Masala Papad...no one makes in Mumbai i guess...Grated Cheese over Masala Papad super awesome.

Sizzlers, they have around 10 of these and they make them really well from the Indian style to Italian to American to Mexican to Chinese, quantity is quite good and cost way cheaper the Yokos and Kobe.

Chinese, we don't have those much except Veg Humpty Dumpty which is Manchurian and spicy french fries.

Mexican, they do have some wicked Alfredo Corn Nachos super pipping hot cheese and corn with crispy nachos do work wonders as my sister always wants one of these. Burritos and ENCHILADAS are brilliant and tasty.

Italian, did not have pasta alot but their Cheese Garlic Bread is superb and bruschetta al pomodoro is purely wicked never had anything better anywhere in Mumbai.

To end it all have Black and White, hot chocolate with brownie and ice creame.

They do also organise parties and kitties so all you veggies this is heaven for you.

Sammy Sosa - Mexican they say

It was Rakhi on 5th August and on the 4th i was searching out for new places on Burrp.com near where i stay. Turns out a new place just opened up called Sammy Sosa which was a mexican joint.

Me and my sister reached there by 9 pm and luckily got a place there. It is a 2 deck place and i guess not more than 30 can be seated at a time. People can wait outside and can place orders during the waiting period.

The alcohol is quiet cheap and we got one on one offer for Whyte and Mackay Whiskey which we grabbed with both hands. The place look and feel is really cool you can play UNO while waiting for the order and the lighting is super cool. Not too dark not too bright really perfect.

As i like to try out new things in the menu we went for Charmulla Chicken which was described as chicken satay with green african herb paste. And it turned out to be really good as it went down well with the whiskey.

Second in line was some Chicken Quesadilla Fella, basically cooked chicken and stuffed between the roti and as it was taking time the owner gave us some Tortilla Chips which were really tasty and crispy.

Third one and the finale was Loco Stuffo Chicken, chicken stuffed between the potatoes and with some mexican sauce which was really tasty.

I would definitely go another time and try out something new.
