Dishkyaaon

Dishkyaaon is located in the heart of BKC alongside other popular restaurants. We visited during lunchtime on a working day and the whole street was packed with cars and pedestrians office goers on their lunch breaks typically bankers strutting around in suits.

The ambience is lively, colourful and funky. The food is incredible or at least what we ordered was superb. The menu is not vast but the dishes are branded innovatively and it's more like a fusion of east and west.

The Chicken Masala with Cheese Kulchas is lipsmackingly delicious.

The Old School Prawn Curry and Rice too was a lovely respite from the usual coastal style preparation.

Masala Library - Treat for The Eyes

Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra at BKC is one place you need to make a reservation almost a week in advance especially if you plan to dine on a weekend. After cancelling thrice due to some or the other reason finally made it here for a Sunday lunch.

At the onset given the hype and hullabaloo around the whole dining experience, we were expecting a very plush and classy interior, however its quite the contrary.

We opted for the chefs set tasting menu both veg and non-veg so as to get a flavor of both since these comprise of their signature dishes. The hospitality and customer service is outstanding; with the person attending the table (Abhishek) walking you through each preparation and offering suggestions on dishes where you have to choose between either or options.

The soup, salad and appetizers are literally molecular portions and that's precisely why one can try all the varieties offered. 

The Mushroom Tea is another very innovative preparation and delicious to say the least when you sit and sip it over meaningful conversation...a must try!

Plum Sorbet to cleanse the palate

Martini Cocktail

The presentation for every dish in the main course was spectacular!!

Pizza Parantha

Cheesy & Chicken Stuffed Parantha

The desserts here are out of this world, not just in taste but innovation and presentation as well. 

Rasmalai

Jalebi Caveat with Pistachio Rabdi and Saffron Foam served in a big seashell is an absolute treat to the eyes! 

To add to it the Pan Flavoured Cotton Candy cutely presented is a pleasant surprise as a mouth freshener.

NRI -Not Really Indian

NRI - Not Really Indian restaurant vibe is relaxed and casual, with plenty of natural light streaming in, the decor has lots of whites and browns and interesting light fixtures like milk cans and a row of bulbs bunched together.

From the signature cocktails I tried the English Summer which was a refreshing concoction of gin with elder-flower, apple and basil; 

Tamarind & Ginger Martini which was delightfully potent combination — a terrific start to the meal.

The Jerk Spiced Chicken Salad with lettuce and raw papaya was lip smacking though I felt it had slightly extra oil.

For mains, I ordered the Sri Lankan Potli which was a delicious thick chicken curry accompanied with Idiyappam. 

The portion was generous so I ordered a round of naans as well as tried the Roti Canai which was in other words malabari parantha. 

Desserts were wheeled to the table on a cart and it comprised of the usual fare blueberry cheesecake, three chocolate mousse, tart etc and nothing looked interesting enough so I gave it a pass.
Having said that the food wasn't a disappointment hence NRI is certainly a must visit to form your own opinion.
