Korner House - Cozy Yet Classy

The once upon a time Nido off-Carter Road Khar, is now replaced by The Korner House, and it's just as good and has retained its chic vibe. It's a classy fine dine restaurant that not just offers you gourmet meals, but allows you the privacy of a quiet cozy date as well as a relaxed ambiance to just unwind with your girlies.

The decor and the outdoor seating, gives it a European feel, and brought back memories of my holidays in England and Paris.

We started with the Mushroom Croquetas, a veg friendly dish with a cheesy center. Artistically presented these little crispy, creamy-centered croquettes just melt in your mouth.

The Tuna Melt is open-faced with crusty toasted bread, deliciously creamy with generous portion of tuna chunks topped with egg. This is accompanied with a brilliantly tossed salad in a tiny jar that was perfect to beat the afternoon heat.

For the eggetarian guest Scrambled Eggs on Toast was the choice of the day. Soft, Creamy and Fluffy it was made to perfection and served with Röschti.

Korner House is all about finesse, flavours and spectacular presentation.

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!

AKA

I'd never heard of AKA and came across this through zomato while browsing for a brunch venue. Located opposite the Nehru planetarium AKA is clearly a SoBo restaurant that serves classic continental cuisine. 

The large mirrors make the place look spacious while the bright, geometric patterned upholstery matches with the walls, giving the eatery an elegant vibe. It is brightly lit up and the varied colours in the décor, make it feel fun and vibrant.

I opted for the Chandon Sunday Brunch and it was quite a healthy treat. The Tapas & Salad spread as well as the Cheese & Charcuterie platter was superb and each one had its unique ingredients and flavours. 

 Watermelon Goast Cheese Olive Dust

 Beet & Ranch Salad

Chives Cream Cheese Blinis With Balsamic Pearls

The Hickory Flavoured Pumpkin Soup was creamy and mildly flavoured and a true healthy treat.

Blueberry Pancake with fresh cream which was freshly made and delicious. 

Among the appetizers I had the Spicy Fish Slivers and 

Pesto Chicken Skewers although they weren't much of a hit at my table.

Moving on to entrées, the Aglio Olio Capellini Verde was okay but slightly bland on the palate. 

The Barrel Chicken with lyonnaise potatoes and pepper infused jus was tender and succulent.  

Seared Filet Mignon with garlic mash and sautéed greens was delectable, with the meat being perfectly well done (upon request) and flavoursome.

There were a variety of desserts though the Chocolate Eclair overshadowed all others. Above all the serving staff as well as the restaurant manager are exceptionally attentive and on their toes catering to every table. Great job!!
