Al Luqma – Mouthful of Yemen in Kolkata

In spite of having spent countless hours roaming along the streets of Kolkata, I had not discovered Al Luqma, until relatively recently. I braved the incessant rain on a Sunday afternoon to go here for lunch with friends. The first thing that struck me on entering Al Luqma was that it was old school. It looked traditional, not dilapidated. It seemed that it had been there for a long time…

New Year Specials from Mio Amore

Eliminating consumer choices can greatly reduce Anxiety for shoppers. Simply put, too many choices increases the amount of time and effort it takes to settle on something. Like many others, I’m too intimately familiar with Mio Amore, and can testify to it’s veracity- every time I’m in Savouries’ Dream, I’m paralyzed by the choices I face. Do I gorge on the extremely deep dish Chicken Continental…

Brunch Italino arrives at the City of Joy

This place has such a wide variety of baked goods that all taste great! I tried a little bit of everything: their VANILLA SPECIAL DRYFRUITS CAKE, RICH PLUM CAKE, MARVEL CAKE, BRUNCH MAWA CAKE. My personal favorite item was the RICH PLUM CAKE. It was so soft and moist with the perfect hint of rum. This is an eggless version, but the popular traditional variant is rum fruit cake or brandy…

Who made the first fruit cake ?

The name “fruitcake” is formed from a combination of the Latin fructus, and French frui or frug. Forget the history ! Love it or hate it, the craze for fruitcakes never goes away. Perhaps, we Bengali are one step ahead with it ! কেকের গন্ধে ও উৎসবের সাজে সেজে উঠেছে শহর !! আর অন্য সব কয়েকটা উৎসবের মতই বাঙালী আজ কেক মুখী । Christmas eve brings everyone together but how can the festive season be…

DIY by Ocean Grill

Being an avid food lover, I am having a habit of eating restaurant foods. Born and brought up in a middle class North Kolkata family. Since childhood, I did not give that much preference to home made food ! Spice, oily food was my go to zone. Since lock down that has been taken a hit. Being categorize under essential services, aggregators like Swiggy, Zomato have still able to filled up few holes…

Biryani from Balle Balle Dhaba

This was my 2nd time I ordered online for our food from Balle Balle Dhaba. It was almost 11 pm at night. Did not had much option from my location then.

Quick delivery with proper packaging.

However, I was shocked to see the container.  It was not at value for money. Taste and quality is good. Quantity is very less.

Not so highly recommend .
