Coast Cafe, Hauz Khas Village

This was our lunch at the Coast Cafe last weekend. Everything we had was wonderful except for one — the oil soaked Malabar Parotta.

We had Calamari fries, Broccoli and Beans Salad with Asian Pesto, Malabar Kokum fish curry and Mutton Sukka. All of them were delectable and you should definitely try them out.

However for me, the Appam and Parotta at @Mahabelly still rock my world!!

One of the simplest and delicious breakfast dishes I can think of - Pan con tomate / Bread with Tomato 🍅

Grate a tomato, slather it on a slice of bread (preferably baguette), sprinkle some salt, drizzle some olive oil if you have.

You can thank me later! 🙏

Perch Wine & Coffee Bar, Khan Market

This was our meal at Perch when me met a friend there last week. The cheese platter was excellent and was great with our drinks. The roasted garlic gnocchi and wild mushroom risotto were top notch. Rest all were passable.

The Artful Baker

From the quick coffee date with the missus last evening. We had Hot Chocolate, Americano and an Italian Job ( mozzarella, tomato and pesto) sandwich. All 3 were 👌!!

Rustom’s, Adchini

Went for Rustom’s 2nd Anniversary ‘Greatest Hits Tasting Menu’ and absolutely loved it. Rush there tomorrow. Only available for lunch and dinner one more day!!

Top to bottom, left then right - Akoori (soft scrambled egg), utterly butterly delicious pav, Chicken Farcha (pan fried masala chicken), Eeda (egg) chutney pattice, supremely flavorful kheema samosa and Kolmi (prawn) kabab!

Main Course : Parsi roti, Vegetables in coconut milk gravy, bheeda (bhindi) in spiced yogurt gravy, Fish in sweet-sour gravy, kolmi (prawn) pulao.

Main Course (contd.): Shirazi Mutton pulao, Jardali Marghi (Chicken cooked with dried apricots) with salli (potato crisps).

Desserts : Caramel Custard, Lagnu (wedding) na custard and Mawa Cake. The simple Caramel Custard was just spot on with the right tinge of bitterness from the Caramel!

Perch Wine & Coffee Bar, Khan Market

Had these wonderful small bites at The Perch in Khan Market, along with a single estate Aeropress coffee.

At the top is Welsh Rarebits - a beer fermented cheese melted on a toast. It was just brilliant. At the bottom is Gougeres, a soft pastry, filled with wild mushroom pate. Would be going there again for a proper meal 😉
