Chicken Shawarmaaaaaaa
Those crispy chicken flakes!!! - oooof - believe me chicken can't get better than this... and there's no way I can resist grabbing one of those juicy Shawarmas if I happen to be in Phoenix Mills. That aroma just pulls me towards that little corner where Maroosh is located. It did it last night - we were going to grab beer upstairs and I had grab a Shawarma before the beer session.
I appeal to all you non-veggers starve for 2 days before your shopping trip to Phoenix and just go wild at Maroosh! Boy that stuff is good! I haven't bothered to try anything else out there and I don't plan to coz 2 of these can fill me up and keep me going.
This goes to all the men who are accompanying their partners for shopping - Recharge at Maroosh!

One word... "Consistency"
I have been ordering cakes from Preeti Chopra for the last 3-4 years. May it be any occasion, the cakes just have to be called from Sweet Passion. I have never been disappointed with the quality - in fact I would say that it just gets better and better with each order. Sweet Passion is pretty popular in Chembur, probably the dessert place of choice for every Chemburite.
I agree with Namita about the accessibility issue of getting to her place but believe me its totally worth it. In fact, need not worry about it coz if you order well in advance they deliver too, atleast in around Chembur.
Sweet Passion- Keep us sinning!

A flower that's always fresh!
This place must be around for almost 10 years now. But believe me these guys have managed to keep up the consistent quality of the food and service. Even the interiors & furnishings look stunningly fresh, its really ** well-maintained considering the crowd that pours in. It's usually packed on Sunday nights but it's so well-staffed that you will rarely find yourself looking for the bearer to help you with your next order. The service is just impeccable and it's consistent through, from the Manager to the Valet guys downstairs. After seeing this place, I think most places today lack service because they are under-staffed - Orchid's just know what it takes. Not once have I been disappointed here.
Regarding the food, they have a pretty extensive Italian menu, their preparations particularly with seafood are simply amazing. I have never tried the Indian or the Chinese here but I am sure it should be pretty decent.
This is what we ordered last night:
** Sweet Corn Seafood Soup - mom had that. Rs. 100/-
** Bruchetta Rs 110/-
** Portion of Garlic Bread 60/-
** Gamberetti Alla Senape: King Prawns in a creamy mustard sauce *Highly Recommended* Rs 325/-
** Lasagna Verde Al Forno: Layers of home made pasta with spinach in cheesy tomatoes sauce and baked Rs. 160/-
** Insalata Dela Casa: Assorted pastas and veg flavoured with burnt garlic. and papprica along with a dash of lemon juice and extra virgin olive oil. Rs. 140/-
** Diet Pepsi Rs.60/-
** Caramel Custard (totally skip this one, it didnt have molecule anything close to caramel) Rs 60/-
** Whisky Soda Rs. 149/-
** Total 1266/- (inclusive of taxes)
Not bad, what say?

Jai Coastal!
I have been to this place ever since it was 'literally' nothing more than a Lunch Home. Usually, when such 'holes in the wall' slicken up - the quality of the food drops to a large extent. Fortunately this place, even though has been pimped out the food has the same authenticity! The interiors are basic and comfortable, the seating layout does a pretty good job so as to cater to larger groups of six to four to a couple.
I'll start with the menu, I was particularly impressed since it had a lot to say about how sensitive they were to this family of cuisines. The menu was divided by region:
1.) Coastal Karnataka,
2.) Goan,
3.) Konkan Belt,
4.) Malwani - is your mouth watering already? I was totally drooling by the last page... ;-)
Now for the order:
1 Chicken Saguti Rs 80
1 Ajadina Prawns Rs 90 (Dry & spicy)
2 Chaas @ 20 each Rs 40
3 Neer Dosa @ 30 each Rs 90
Total Rs 338 with taxes.
The food was more than yummy, the Adjina Prawns are highly recommended. It was one of the most VFM meals have had in a long time.
With the quality of food and especially their pricing, entities like Mahesh Lunch home will get wiped out from this planet.
As i sign-off, I will keep wishing that my office one day shifts to Lower Parel :-)

Perfect Breakfast Prograam!
I have been wanting to write a review on this place for a long time now. It's my perfect Sunday Breakfast spot, the stuff here is so fresh and tasty, its just unbeliveable. Punjabi's & Sindhi's would surely know the difference - the Chole-Bature served in any of the regular restaurants V/S Vig which is a class apart. This is authentic stuff baby! The BEST part is the khatta (sour) masala that they sprinkle on the Kulcha's and the Chole, that IS totally the formula of good tasting north-indian snacks!
The Dal-Pakwaan is one of my favorite dishes here. Unfortunately, it never sees the light of the afternoon since its totally sold out during breakfast hours. Another feature worth mentioning is the 10 inch long steel glasses in which they serve chaas, Absolute Beauty! Its like a ticket to Punjab!
Everything here tastes heavenly and at a super reasonable price. Here's what we ordered the last time i visited.
1 Onion Kulcha
1 Aloo Kulcha
2 Chaas
2 Lassi
3 Chole Bature
1 Dal Pakwaan
Total Rs 192
Insist on dropping by this place if you ever drop by in Chembur!
