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.

Olive Bistro

A friend had mentioned that Olives is now in goregaon and I refused to believe it coz I've been to the other 2 outlets several times, and was so sure it couldn't possibly be true. Well maybe not the original Olive Bar & Kitchen but hell yeh Olive Bistro a version of the same, sure has opened up.
It redefines itself by opening an economically priced outlet in western suburbs...at the Oberoi Mall. The decor, ambiance and food haven't been compromised even a wee bit. If you want to skip wines then you should try out their refreshing cocktails, though their Sangrias are spot on!

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.
