I shall keep it simple . Each dinner date is now about trying something we have not tasted before , something exotic or we don’t usually get in our ooru. After a day at two libraries , tonight R chose a Cuban restaurant near fifth avenue. The name of the place made me hum a…

As #BBiC completes 2 years – I was not left out from the celebration
I still keep an eye on the new eateries in Bangalore , I keep noting them . One such place which opened after I left, kept me craving for that biriyani . It’s obvious that this dish is an emotion and not just a dish. Frankly speaking its just not for me , for my…
My first taste of Haleem in this side of the world
We were exploring a different side of #newjersey today . The area’s name is oaktreeroad (beautiful, isn’t it). The entire afternoon when we walked around, I felt I was still in India , perhaps on a little break from the city, towards the hillstations like Ooty , coonoor etc. It’s the shops and houses and…
শুভ নববর্ষ! ❤ 1426 !
Back then , all through my growing up days, this time of the year was so special. Not only the first day of the year , actually the celebration started on the last day of the year ‘choitro shankranti’ and continued till ‘poila boishakh’. My grandma and mother started cooking since morning. Though no one…
In the mood for a Mediterranean meal
Last two days I had probably dreamt of falafal and similar other dishes each time my eyelids met each other. I had been thinking of Doner Kebabs too. The weather being amazing today (almost 22°C while Bangalore showed 21°C) we saw most of our neighbors coming out for a walk , skating , etc. We…

A cousin of ours was visiting New York City for her work. When I asked her , what can we do together when we meet , she popped the idea of a NYC brunch ! While I am here for a little over 5 months, but I definitely don’t know this city , the way…
Not all meals are memorable – but each meal serves a purpose (weekly dinner date #3)
We have made it a ritual to go for at least one weekday dinner date. The days change . The plan is always impromptu. Yesterday I went to alliance francaise, NYC & then Kalustyan’s. I had planned and had dinner ready too, but after all the walking around just wanted to sit somewhere and tell…
In Indian Accent, NYC
In India, we have often thought of visiting #indianaccent in #Newdelhi , but somehow we never got the chance. Now that we are so close to #Newyork we could not let go of this oppurtunity.I got the booking done in advance and reached the venue on time. On my way, I even posted an #Instagram…
My Friend came to visit NYC , but we went back to Bombay’s
I belong to that group of people , for whom it will always be “Bombay”, “Calcutta”, the old charm , the old names. There is something in those words which are not easy to shrug off. The first time , I saw the name, I remember clicking a pic and sending it to all my…
A snowy evening , an Aussi steakhouse experience to make it memorable (weekly dinner date #2)
When we moved to Secaucus (US) five months back we remember making a resolution of trying all the restaurants in the hood . We tried a few initially and then continuously kept going to New York and hence somewhere lost a track of that resolution. Last week we went to the olive garden and had…
