Thumbs Up for this!!!

 Hyderabad is known for it's Biryani's, on the other side there is another preparation of Dum Biryani which is a rice preparation with mutton or chicken or veggies cooked with spices along so that the flavours of the meat and spices amalgamate with rice.. cooked in a sealed container; that's why we term it as Dum.


Swapnil Gandhi, recommended by a friend of mine invited me to taste the same rice preparation. Chicken Dum biryani, absolutely cooked to perfection. I couldn't  spot any trace of oil on my plate, not very spicy, succulent juicy pieces of chicken and the flavour of burnt onions arriving in between  served with raita is the best option for one's like me, who are a foodie yet a bit diet conscious and ofcourse for the new generation who wish to splurge on food and try new places.

Up and Up as the name of the restaurant goes, is also a solution for the food woes of the working lot. the food prepared is healthy, fresh and not too heavy on the wallet or your tummy either. Apart from that they also follow a strict hygiene regulation.


Swapnil, A  young lad from Nadiad , passionate about food, incubated from IIM has ventured into this business. His management experience has helped him design the format of the restaurant which operates from a Cloud kitchen, means the food is centrally prepared in one kitchen and supplied in rest of the branches which is a smart way of operations as it helps to regulate logistics, cost, manpower and serve the client with a uniform taste. The cloud kitchen outlet is at Prahlad Nagar and rest of the three outlets of  Up and Up are located at Drive n, Bodakdev and South Bopal.

To sum up the meal... authentic phirni, loaded with dryfruits and carrying a distinct flavour of ground cardamom.... leaves you on a high!!! Up and Up....

Green Coffee – the new bean... to sweep that sugar clean What’s the wait for.... go green!!

Going green is not only the tag of environmental health but also one for the health freak community, a fad that is growing... unlike a viral that in the era of net is healthy but this green going viral is anti- oxidant!! Last few years, a decade, to be precise ,witnessed  that green tea and various other ‘avtaars’ of these leaves, Chinese in origin,  have captured a big space in market shelves, be it Super markets or just a nearby small ‘kirana’ store. Most recent ‘Green’ tag carrying its own bouquet of benefits in the health conscious era is Green coffee. To focus more on its primary health benefits, lemme begin.... after going through the research papers, I would thrust on the bigger aspect - Diabetes over weight loss benefits.

Hence it is quite clear that these complex sugars w...
