Yesterday we decided to meet director-turned-papa Anchal Kumar and friend Manav Kapoor for lunch.

We ended up at Zyka (Raheja Arcade). We’d heard that it has really good Gujarati thalis, but on Sunday. Being a Saturday, we decided to risk the North Indian thali they had on their menu. Bad idea. The food was strictly OK, with the starter (ordered separately) being quite good. I think next time around it’s going to be A-la-carte.

By the time we walked out of the restaurant, it was pouring cats and dogs. We ended up waiting in the Arcade for an hour. We then decided to risk the rain to get to our cars and drive over to Lal Bagh. By the time we arrived, the rains had simmered down and we were able to explore the beautiful garden.

We left with a bunch of saplings. Anchal did most of the sapling shopping, with us settling for a rose plant. I do intend to return as the Bagh [garden] as it’s simply beautiful.

All in all a good day

Yesterday we decided to have a weekday lunch date, and chose Little Italy as it runs a buffet for which we had grabbon coupons.

We had a really delicious meal with a nice spinach based clear soup, nachos, cheese corn balls, pizza and lasagna.

The food was good, the service exemplary and the decor/ambiance was very relaxing.

All in all a good time. Yum.

So the other day I visited a really down to earth mother’s cooking kinda place, called Simply Idlicious (‘Idli’ is a steamed pan cake like eatable, very soft and very yummy).

The food there is quite light on the tummy, yet makes you feel very content. The service is quick, and up to the mark. It’s a clean, simple, no frills place. Hey, the idea was to enjoy the meal
