A dhaba feel @ Kapoor's Cafe

My love for parathas made me discover this punjabi joint in Whitefield.

This is a tiny place in the Gurukul Sports academy campus. With its extremely simple, cozy ambience & friendly staff, it definitely gives you an authentic dhaba experience. We were welcomed with a quirky punjabi line "Tussi aa gaye...Ab Tak Kahan thay?" that instantly brought a smile on my face :)

What We Ordered:

• Paneer Pakoras
• Parathas (Aloo, Mixed, Paneer) with a spoonful (scoop) of butter on top !!!
• Chole Batura (Dilli Style)
• Lassi, Chaas

My Experience:
Firstly,  there was nothing exceptional about the parathas. It was a single piece served but big enough that you wouldn't want to order for more! The butter on top & the extra white makhan that we ordered made me feel like a stuffed turkey & how!!! The lassi and chaas were served in the traditional kulhad style & was good. The Chole batura was strangely crispy & we did mention this to the manager. 

This time I surprised myself by saying a big NO for desserts!

What's Hot?

I'll give this a miss.

What's Not?

Parathas could have definitely been better.

Location: Gurukul Sports campus, Whitefield

The menu looked quite elaborate & may be I would want to try the rotis and sabzis for a better experience next time!

Dimsums with Tea - That's Yauatcha!

Firstly, this "oriental" fine dining located on the 5th floor of 1MG Mall, was on my wish list for quite sometime. Each time I took a glimpse of this place, i was instantly drawn to it, but gave it a miss. Last week, we finally decided on visiting this place for an authentic dimsum experience!

To begin with, the decor is very unique and elegant & the translucent glass facade, the dim lit theme - all impressive.

We were greeted quite warmly & almost immediately asked for our choice. Vegetarian it is! A separate menu for vegetarians arrived- even better :-)

What We Ordered:

• Lychee Martini
• Green Apple Martini
• Veg Shangai Dumpling
• Beetroot & Celery Dumpling
• Schezwan Tofu Claypot
• Veg Friend Rice with Sweetcorn
• Raspberry Delice

My Experience:

       Being a complete Martini lover, i thought the Martinis at Yauatcha is perhaps one of the best I have tasted. The flavour was just right - not too light, not too strong; just right. A big thumbs up for the Martini experience.

    About the food; what was impressive is the quality, quantity & the impeccable presentation, well crafted to perfection. The stuffed dumplings were great & had to be so owing to their signature dish. The tofu and the rice combination worked quite well.

   As always, my favourite part is satisfying my sweet tooth:)

   As recommended, we tried the Raspberry Delice. This is probably a must-try-must-have on your visit to Yauatcha. The sorbet, chocolate mousse wrapped in a raspberry layer was simply sinfully divine.

What's Hot?

     The dumplings & Raspberry Delice for sure.

What's Not?

     The closed seating set up was something I was definitely not comfortable with.

Location: 5th Floor, 1MG Mall

All in all, a refreshing change to the whole dimsum experience. Am surely going back to this place next time for the "tea" with dimsums.

      

       

Bon Appetit !

I am not a food critic but a food lover. I live to eat & not the other way round. A true blue bangalorean living up to the cosmopolitan culture & so I love all cuisines.

Being a food lover, I have experimented with different places, different tastes- from star hotels to road side eateries; from the most popular hangouts to the lesser known but even more amazing joints; from breakfast places-to brunches-to dine & wine; I love it all :)

Hence the birth of my blog.

Hope my posts introduces you to many more places in bangalore :)

Happy Eating :)
