Roti, Kapda and Makaan!” A diet queens delight! Elsie Gabriel

“Yahaan Har Cheez Bikaoo Hain,” says Sneha Raisoni, owner of  this store cum cafe. “This is our take on the 3 basic essentials of life - Roti, Kapda and Makaan!”

The quant little place is tucked away at the Sena Pati Bapat Marg’s Raghuvanshi Mills complex and is a sure delight to the dreary eyes. Bright yellow walls, ceiling full of umbrellas,bright pajamas on sale and some more bright quirky articles for sale for your home interiors, all so well juxtapositioned with some good food as well. It sure is a healthy combination for the shopping souls.  

I loved the ‘Pante Khoi Swey’, A  twist on the Burmese gravy dish with the Indian Jeera flavour and coconut milk, and ofcourse the stuffed little buns with salsa and Green mint chutney also uplifted my soul after several meetings for the day.Let me warn you everything is blissfully vegetarian.

The Khus Khus jar with Humus and  herbs is a “ Diet Queens’ delight, I wanted to re christen it right away! Someday I want to steal a jar of these multilayered layered  vegetarian bliss all served in a glass jar and simply have spoon full’s while riding to work.

I loved the Nimbu paani and the edible spoons full of chutneys, the Somasa curry is a  delight if you like to try something out of the way.

Its a simple vibrant place with a lot of soul, with enough space for one to read a book or simply pen down your thoughts. Its up on the second floor with huge glass windows overlooking the  Mangoe trees outdoors.All this in the middle of town, Yeah go check it out.

Why do you think its called Roti Kapdaa aur Makaan, of course its not fine dining!! It is ultra contemporary!  Go there, just unwind, sit back, and forget that you are at a restaurant. Relax and order away some dishes you may have never eaten before. Its yours for the asking! I loved being there and taking in the high energy ambience. My soul was refreshed for sure.
And I must say Neha, you are one brave gourmet Entrepreneur-Go Girl!
 

Underprevileged kids eat at Eagle Boys Pizza as Sweetza comes to town! Elsie Gabriel

                                   Eagle Boys Sweetza comes to town! Shares pizzas with special kids!

Ever dreamed of the perfect chocolate dessert pizza on a date night at home?? Well now you can simply order home the newest gourmet delight to hit the city with Eagle Boys Sweetzza’s. You can opt for guilt free indulgence as the dough is so fresh and ingredients locally bought. Less carbon footprints involved in every bite. Pushpa and Gaurav Uniyal at Primerose Lake Homes main road, Powai offer the freshest vegetarian pizzas with exquisite variations for those who don’t venture into meats. They offer vegan pizzas too, simply ask. But you have to try the choco Pizza, an all gooey, chocolately and lip smacking affair, well now that I have got you drooling, you simply have to try it, one single bite can be heavenly! The dessert pizzas are a relatively low-stress dessert, and are wonderful for large crowds and parties.

This Australian owned and operated network brand began as a single pizza store in New South Wales and has grown to become one of Australia’s largest pizza makers and now reaches out to India.

The network takes pride in offering a variety of products including gourmet pizzas, gluten-free, low fat and healthy options. A growing number of stores are now serving Halal accredited offerings.

I opted for the Country side Veg Pizza and the Hawain delights, which were light and easy for an early dinner. There are loads of other pizza recipes out there just awaiting a hungry audience. The electric oven the outlet uses here at Powai uses low consumption, again treading gently on the power conservation. In about flat 3.5 minutes a pizza is out of the over, using no oil at all, all pizzas here are baked.

What makes the Primerose Lakehomes Pizza center a joy to visit, are the people behind it.Pushpa and Gaurav are both bankers but pamper their passion in the gourmet world, by personally being involved at the pizzaria. Gaurav bakes without battering an eyelid and supervises every flake of ingredient that goes into the pizza, its the passion for excellence which eventually gets a top class pizza on your plate. Pushpa is an entrepreneur who has dived into pizza making, fully confident that this is the pizza world which makes the world go around for kids, and good healthy pizza can also be fun.

The tomatoes and chicken penne is surprisingly classy and served hot with a good portion. Of course the new dish which is to die for is the baked vegetarian scrolls, sublime with zero calories, well almost, try it!

I am not a big fan of pizzas of any kind,coz I dread the cheese,ofcourse its a persoanl choice which comes with one's personal diet plan and age; but believe me I came away a convert!

 

It was wonderful to launch with some special children from the underprevilged society to come and taste the pizzas.The young always like pizzas and Eagleboys made the summer holidays special.
