So this man with roots in Gujarat has his heart embedded in Kolkata.. and ofcourse tremendous love for food made him put all his soul fire to bring this gastronomy to Ahmedabad in Gujarat. Crafted Green entry zone, cozy and comfortable!! Nearing 365 days of it's completion, his love has been well received in the city, that too in a very short span of time, Kolkata Konnections has build  fan following and sufficient recognition.

Food Saga is Sunday Gaga...

Sunday is a day when we are at leisure and all dream of having a scrumptious food... In search of that, on a hunting spree; which the new age human does for restaurants... cause the real hunting is a punishable offence.... Thank God!! Salman got saved by prayers probably, of his fan following and helping people emerge. Coming back to food, Sunday Brunch at Timpani - Radisson Blu, had been since long in my wish list, Hence I prepared myself for indulgence... (you need that for brunches, that too on a Sunday!!) Going Gaga on food was my mood and Timpani is a place where the buffet spread is quite lavish & artistique; to fit onto all kinds of pallets moods and needs.  Quite a wide assortment for both vegetarian and non- vegetarian lovers, they have very smartly segregated entire non-veg counter, from salads to main course, by pushing it right behind, so that the same is not even visible to veg inclined foodies in Gujarat, at the same time serve the b...

Anang Mistry!! the point we get onto, simply straight like the nail... a young creative mind, who sailing through various domains, from events, to Public Relations crafted out his own brain child. He started a voucher booklet termed as Jackpott  - The King of all deals; which in no time became one of the best selling deals book in India.. till now we must have heard of best selling books those meant for reading. But this booklet , commencing from Gujarat, a place known for deals and discounts,  "ketlu discount apis..."  as a standard sentence for any sales deals... so Mr. Mistry captured this seeking of masses as a business idea itself, and in 2014 Jackpott - The King of all Deals, came into existence.

Millhouse offers completely new gastronomical delights on the food explorer's platter; an experience which will am sure as a blogger will continue on... and on your steering too, I believe, can turn it onto one of favorite food junctions. A newly opened venture by three people; Jaydeep Mukherjee, Ajit Dhumal and Anand who have a rich background in hospitality have taken this initiative. While interacting with Jaydeep, a precise message which I captured, and to put as a "quote"  "Glocal delicacies, simple food, with less experimentation, retaining the original flavors and minimizing wastage". * PS Three types of seating arrangement, that of bar, cafe and a comfortable dining space...  three menus , one for beverage, food and sweets offering bakery products and hand crafte...

Legacy called Madhorao...

A recently opened restaurant in Ahmedabad is one of the most recommended places where I felt few ingredients which were quite unique.... Apart from warmth which the place exudes in ample, there is lot of space, antique woven chairs, vintage style furniture which goes in line with the theme of traditional food. Tradition and generation goes hand, it is the generation today responsible to carry forth our tradition.. Madhorao is the right model of the statement.  Wall of Fame - Chaitanya Dalvi  Chaitanya Dalvi, the man behind this venture mentioned, "The name, dedicated to my father and recipes are inspired by my mother, is what Madhorao all about. Being Goan by origin, I always wanted to present something unique on the culinary map of Ahmedabad. Hence, decided to serve traditional Maharashtran cuisine that too in bronze tableware adds to the authenticity of the culinary experience. Colonial furniture with spaced out tables are intended to give more comfort and privacy ...
