All Stir Fry - Not Quite

This is one restaurant that seems to be always meant to visit but never (You know what I mean). Anyway finally made it down. The concept is interesting that you can have unlimited stir fries with noodles or rice. You can mix it in whatever combination you want and add sauces to the same. To be frank perhaps I was a newbie but the experience was underwhelming. The choice of stuff to stir fry was fairly large and the sauces were also varied. The end product sadly was lacking. The sauces tended to overwhelm and it was not that they were that great. In fact the best part of the stir fries was the one that was sans any sauce. Just stir fried with lime, ginger and garlic. That was good. A word of advice - Avoid the cocktails and stick to beer. A Sangria I had was amongst the lowlights. Last but not the least stay with the stir fries. A Papaya salad and some curry with rice was also tried but were disappointing to state it mildly.

Kwality - Mixed feelings

Continuing with my eats down memory lane was at Kwality in Worli the other day. Coincidentally it was with a bunch of really old friends. The first thing that struck me was that the average age of the staff was plus 50. I mean I know its a old restaurant but never seen so many old waiters. Anyway onto the food. The kebabs were so so. The Seekh could have been spectacular but the meat was a bit dry. The main course was very good. The Alu Ghosht was good, the dal makhani so so and I have been informed that the Paneer Bhurji was amongst the best Paneer Bhurji ever. Post Delhi I am not a Paneer fan so I really have no opinion there. The Chicken drumstick was succulent while the fish was a tad over fried. All in all a good trip down memory lane as opposed to the really bad trip that was Flora
