Our Saturday night was well planned – watch a play and have seafood for dinner. So it started with an English play ‘By George’, directed by Naseerudin Shah at Prithvi Theatre, followed by dinner at the very popular restaurant called Something’s Fishy, a part of Hotel Tunga International at Andheri East, Mumbai. What we didn’t know, that our well planned Saturday night would turn out to be so [More...]
This is my all time favourite fish accompaniment – low on oil and very easy to make. This fish fry is a hit on winter nights, when you enjoy a simple meal of steamed rice or roti with daal at dinner [More...]
The very mention of the word Ghee Roast, makes me salivate like Pavlov’s experimental dog. Believe you me; my mouth is watering even when I am writing the first two lines for the Anupama Restaurant [More...]

There’s nothing like driving along a picturesque beach side to a destination that awaits you with mouthwatering prawns and chicken. One Sunday, my husband and I drove down on the RK Beach in Vizag to a restaurant much recommended by friends. This place is called Senora Beach Resorts, and I must say, even though the decor at the entrance is quite garish, the food is [More...]
