Little Italy, Andheri

Friday, September 7th, 2007

I caught up with my former colleagues from J P Morgan Chase after a long time. We had planned to have dinner at a nice restaurant for a long time, however for some reason or the other the plan kept getting postponed. So, finally we decided to eat at this place called Little Italy at Andheri (w). The place is located right opposite Infiniti Mall and is part of a chain of restaurants all over India. It serves Italian cuisine (as the name suggests) and is quite a popular spot on weekends.

We started off by ordering a round of mocktails for everyone (all of us were teetotalers). The drinks were ok, though the Redbull based drink was a tad strange. For starters we had some garlic bread as well as Funghi alla Trapanese . The Funghi alla Trapanese is basically roasted mushrooms with garlic, lemon, parsley and served with warm farmer’s bread. The dish was a mouth watering delight, these were some of the best roasted mushrooms I have had in a long time. For the main course we ordered a pasta and a couple of pizzas. The pasta was quite good, while the pizzas were ok, nothing quite exceptional. Overall the food was good, but the service was very slow. That’s something I guess the restaurant needs to improve.

I had a great time eating some good food and catching up with friends. With the hectic MBA life that I am currently leading, this was a welcome break from the daily grind.

Lunching at Tian

Saturday, August 11th, 2007

Had a business communication “practical” session at Tian, Juhu. The session was largely to acquaint people with dining etiquette expected at a formal lunch / dinner. The lunch was interesting as we were basically having a continental meal at a Chinese restaurant!

We began with some chicken soup as the first course. This was followed by a Waldorf salad (apple, walnut and mayonnaise) as the second course. I was a bit apprehensive about eating this because I don’t really like mayonnaise at all, but the salad was quite nice ( something I didn’t expect ). After this we had some stir fried vegetables, pasta and chicken in a brown sauce. I quite liked the stir fried vegetables ( especially broccoli and mushrooms ), while the chicken was just about ok.

The best part was the dessert, which consisted of vanilla with chocolate sauce and fried noodles dipped in honey. Amazing stuff, the noodles were fabulous !

Overall, the food was quite decent and just about Ok. A nice experience overall.
