RAMEN 🍜(CAFE KOREANA)

Image
PLACE NAME - Cafe koreana RATING -  7/10 DESCRIPTION - Tried this Shin Ramen; the taste was okay, not so good, not so bad. The ambiance was quite pleasant. Overall, the experience was satisfactory. The price, according to the ambiance, was acceptable. TASTE - Finally, I tried this ramen that was trending all over the internet. Without considering the ambiance or the location, the taste was fine. The ramen soup in this place felt a bit spicy and watery; I felt like it should be a bit creamier to balance it out. The veggies were exotic, though a bit raw for my liking. It was a mid-level experience, and a single bowl is sufficient for a single person only. It felt a bit pricey, but considering the beautiful ambiance, the price seemed acceptable to me. The taste, however, was not outstanding. Nevertheless, it's worth trying at least once since it's something you can't find everywhere. PRICE - 299 CONTAINS - Soupy ramen served with some exotic veggies ADDRESS - VCA Stadium Compl...

CARAMEL PUDDING 🍮 (BIRISTA)

Image
PLACE NAME - Birista RATING - 8/10 DESCRIPTION - "This caramel pudding is a light, sweet, jelly-textured dessert that feels very yummy when you take a bite. I love the texture and the overall taste. I enjoyed it." TASTE - "The taste wasn't particularly special; it's more like a normal, jelly-textured creamy pudding. Honestly, it lacks distinct flavor, offering only a sweet sugar taste and a smooth texture when you take a bite. It feels very smooth in your mouth and is undeniably sweet. I quite liked it, but found it overly sweet, as I couldn't finish it in the end. Nevertheless, considering the price point, I think it's okay. It was something new for me, so I would recommend trying it at least once, as you wouldn't have tasted anything like it before." PRICE -110 CONTAINS - milk, sugar, cornstarch, custard  HYGIENE - 4/5 ADDRESS - Shop 12, Bhramma, Plot 53, Palm Beach Rd, Sector 15, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra 400614 Link -  Location 📍

TTEOK-BOKKI (CAFE KOREANA)

Image
PLACE NAME - Cafe koreana RATING - 7/10 DESCRIPTION - I tried the bapsang tteok-bokki. The chewy rice tteok-bokki was quite different in taste, and I liked it, but I felt it was too pricey because the amount was very little, and it cost me a significant amount of money. So, if you're not concerned about the cost, you can go for it. Overall, the taste was good. TASTE - Talking about the taste, the chewy rice tteok-bokki was slimy and stretchy, making it fun to chew. The sauce, serving as the base, was a bit spicy and tangy, perfectly balanced with the chewy rice cakes and their slimy texture. The flavor was unlike anything I've had with Korean food until now, and I really enjoyed it. Instead of ramen, I would suggest trying this unique dish. However, it is quite pricey, providing only a few bites for two people despite the cost. I love the taste, and the ambiance was also beautiful. It's something different that you don't find everywhere, making it a good deal. PRICE - ...

CHOCOLATE WAFFLE(THE BELGIAN WAFFLE. CO

Image
PLACE NAME - The Belgian waffle. Co RATING -  8/10 DESCRIPTION - "So, this was my first time eating a waffle, and I liked it a lot. I would recommend trying it. However, it's too much for a single person to eat. Towards the end, I didn't feel like finishing because it seemed too much for me. Overall, the price was reasonable, and the seating area was fine. Everything was okay." TASTE - "The taste was very chocolatey and sweet. The waffle was quite crispy on the outer side and a bit soft on the inside. When you bite into it, you can feel the crispiness of the waffle outside. It's more like a cake crushed in a sandwich toaster, so it was good. However, it was very sweet, and I think it's not possible to finish it for a single person. But overall, I liked the taste; it's great for when you want something sweet, like a dessert or something." PRICE - 120 CONTAINS - waffle served with some chocolate sauce ADDRESS - Shree Ganesh Vignaharta Apartments, S...

PLACE NAME - Conical gaufers  RATING - 7/10 DESCRIPTION - ""These strawberries are so yummy – a mix of sweet and sour, covered in delicious chocolate. They're not just a treat for the eyes; they make you want more and more. Once you start, it's hard to stop enjoying these tasty strawberries!"" 🍓🍫 TASTE - "So, finally, I tried this viral chocolate strawberry cup and was quite impressed with its taste. It had a sweet and sour flavor from the fresh strawberries, fused with a good amount of chocolate ganache all over. The taste was great, and it's more for visual satisfaction than taste. It came in three types: milk chocolate, normal chocolate, and dark chocolate, and it starts from 80 per glass. Nevertheless, it's good for a one-time try, and it's worth the price. You can give it a try once and see if it satisfies your dessert cravings." PRICE - There are three types: milk chocolate, normal chocolate, and dark chocolate, and the prices a...

IDLI PAKODA

Image
PLACE NAME - Manpasand nashta point  RATING -  9/10 DESCRIPTION - This is my personal favorite street food, the cheapest of the cheapest and the tastiest of the tastiest. This incredible and different idli Pakora is just amazing in taste and preparation. TASTE - This amazing dish is called "idli pakoda." It's a simple idli stuffed with aloo sabzi, layered with besan, and deep-fried. I wasn't very sure it would be good after hearing about it, but when I tasted it, it was amazing. The overall taste was good, served with different chutneys, coconut, and pudina. The aloo sabzi inside perfectly complemented the idli, and the slightly crispy outer texture made of besan. Everything tasted perfect with a bit of chewy texture and crispiness. Both were tasty, and adding some sauce enhanced the flavors. I was even happier when I heard it was just for 20 rupees because it's rare to fill your stomach for that price, and it looked beautiful as you can see in the pictures. PRICE...

CHOLE KULCHE(DELHI KE MASHOOR SHRI BALAJI CHOLE KULCHE)

Image
PLACE NAME -  DELHI KE MASHOOR SHRI BALAJI CHOLE KULCHE RATING -  7/10 DESCRIPTION - The "chole kulche" was the best when I was craving Delhi-style chole kulche. I saw it going viral on the internet, so I had to try it. It was worth the try because it was quite affordable, and the taste was amazing, especially for such a good price. TASTE - Talking about the taste, the kulchas were made of bread but still tasty. Not authentic, more like a bread type, but the chole, which is actually matar, not chole, is just unbelievable. Perfectly cooked and served with their secret salad, the taste is amazing. The choles are cooked the whole time, making them creamy and soft, with spices blended perfectly. The only thing I don't like is that the kulchas feel a bit like bread. The special was the salad, completely different from the ordinary one. It had a pickled type of flavor, and I picked the carrot, which was very tasty with a bit of tang. Overall, the taste was amazing. You should t...

The masala bhaath is just perfect, served with some kadhi and papad, chopped onions and it won my heart." TASTE - " This masala bhaath is a tasty one, like how your mom cooks at home with all the veggies and spices. It gives the typical  Maharashtrian taste. It's tasty as well as healthy, and the best part is it's just for 40, served with papad and kadhi.

JHUNKA BHAKAR (BHAKRIWALA)

Image
PLACE NAME - Bhakriwala RATING -  8/10 DESCRIPTION - "This jhunka bhakar is the perfect meal when I'm hungry for home food.Everything is perfectly cooked, and a single serving is enough for one person. Just loved the taste." TASTE -"This Jhunka bhakar is served with a single bhakar; it's a bit burnt, but I like how it tastes different from the normal chapatis, and it's very big, so it's enough for a single person. The subzis they provide are besan, kadhi, baingan bharta, and jhunka. The besan is the normal besan you have at home, perfectly cooked, along with the baingan bharta that is perfectly smashed and cooked, giving it a homely feel. The main sabzi is a bit spicy and quite doughy, but the taste is just amazing, providing a different flavor than the ordinary one. Lastly, talking about the side dishes—papad, mirchi thecha, and chopped onions. The mirchi thecha can be a bit spicy for those who don't eat spicy food, so be careful with that. My favori...

PLACE NAME - Chaap ajkal RATING -  8/10 DESCRIPTION - "Delicious chaap served with some tangy pudina chutney, some onions, and a good seating area – a place to have tasty chaap with a comfortable atmosphere. TASTE - "This place offers a variety of chaaps. Prices are a bit high, but the portions are large enough for two. The chaaps are decent, a bit chewy, and generously coated in a good amount of masala and sauces. They're grilled, giving them a nice crunch. It's not easy to find chaap places with good seating, but the atmosphere here is pleasant.

MONGALPODU IDLI (AMMA’S IDLI)

Image
PLACE NAME - AMMA'S IDLI RATING -  8/10 DESCRIPTION - This spot offers a variety of idli options you likely haven't tried. I had the Mongol Podu, tate idli, ammas special idli, and each dish has a unique and hearty flavor. It's a small outlet where you can stand to eat, or if possible, find a seat. The best thing is it's very cheap, starting from just 10 rupees and going up to 50. It's very hygienic, so you don't have to think twice before enjoying a meal here. TASTE - If I talk about the taste, it was kind of average, I would say. However, the add-ons with all the idlis were very much new for the people living in Nagpur. For example, the gunpowder they use on the idlis is something different, and everyone would like this. The main taste of this MONGALPODU IDLI comes from the gunpowder, which is made of spices and ghee mixed together, giving an explosion of flavors in your mouth. The soft idli blends perfectly with it.And the best thing is, they are very healthy...

PLACE NAME - Tinu’s soya chaap and Chinese corner RATING - 7/10 DESCRIPTION - "A chaap is a combination of soya and maida that I got served with a tangy chutney, but when it comes to the ambiance, I would rate it a solid 3/10. It's just a small shop serving some delicious chaap.” TASTE - “Taste wise I felt this chaap was very delicious , especially since it was my first time trying it. I loved the texture, and it even had a chicken-like chewy texture. The only thing missing was the umami flavor, but it's a perfect substitute for those who don't eat chicken. The pricing was moderate, and the ambiance, though not great, offered a small seating area solely for savoring this tasty chaap.” PRICE - 140 CONTAINS - chaap served with some garlic chutney  HYGIENE - 3/5 ADDRESS - Mate Square, Mate Chowk, Pratap Nagar, Nagpur, Maharashtra 440022 Link -  📍 Location

The food is exceptionally well-prepared, and the prices are quite reasonable. I highly recommend it, especially if you live near Bajaj Nagar. TASTE - While searching for vegetarian food one night, I stumbled upon a great biryani spot. Despite initially finding the prices a bit high, the staff assured me that a half portion would easily satisfy two people. The ambiance was cute, and the paneer tikka biryani had just the right blend of spices, creating a delightful taste. They served me raita and curry with some salad, enhancing the overall experience. The biryani was amazing, not your regular dish you'd find everywhere, especially the veg biryani—never have I found such a good biryani at any other places.

THUPKA (GURUNG MOMOS)

THUPKA (GURUNG MOMOS) PLACE NAME- GURUNG MOMOS RATING- 3/10 DESCRIPTION- "This thukpa is very average in taste, and it's expensive with a very uncomfortable seating area. It's just the worst place to have thukpa; I would never recommend trying this place.” TASTE- "The taste was very average, with a small amount of veggies and noodle soup. The thukpa was made with vegetable broth and was quite simple. The flavor wasn't particularly delicious or bad, but considering the price, it was too expensive. As for the seating area, it was by the roadside and very uncomfortable. If they're charging such high prices, the least they could do is provide a decent seating area, especially if the food portion is not generous. This was a bad experience, and I felt like I wasted my money on this thukpa. Also, it was a bit far from my place, so I would not recommend this place if you're thinking of going there.” PRICE- 170 CONTAINS- Exotic veggie broth soup with noodles HYGIEN...
