Little Italy

It was my long pending treat from my brother, so we decided to go to Little Italy for lunch.. I'm pretty regular to this place and I started loving Italian cuisine because of this place. We wanted to start on a healthy note, because we knew the ones to follow were gonna be loaded with cheese. For soup, we ordered a broccoli soup and for starter we ordered crispy potato skin with mayonnaise. For main course I ordered my favourite Lasagna, while my brother ordered ravioli pasta in white sauce. I don't exactly remember the name of his dish.

The soup arrived fast. I was extremely hungry and I finished it in no time. I found the soup to be a tad salty. After that it ended up being a long wait. My hunger was reaching its peak. There was a huge group of ladies who came about 10 minutes after we did (We finished ordering by then). They started getting their starters but we didn't get any food. We were looking at waiters coming through the kitchen door to see if our food was coming!! I know I was really hungry... We reminded the waiter about our order and he said it's coming right away.. But obviously it didn't come right away. At one point, I was so mad that I thought I should cancel my order and eat some where else. 

The starter did come along with our main course. I'm pretty sure they forgot about my starter and only when I did ask the waiter did he realise about it.. Anyways coming back to the food.. The potato skin was fabulous. My anger and hunger went down after snacking it. Now on to the main course. I go to Little Italy just for their cheese Lasagna. I think it's by far the best I've had it town.. I sometime go and order only the lasagna. Even during their brunch, I mostly end up eating only Lasagna. My brother's pasta was also nice

We didn't order any dessert because my tummy was happy and needed no more.. Their lasagna always makes me extremely happy and it's superlicous. I noticed that the place definitely needs renovation. I'm not happy with their service but I'm sure i'll keep going back for the pasta :)

5 Senses again

I've been eating out a lot these days but not been reviewing anything really... It was my anniversary and my husband decided to take me to 5 senses for a quick bite. We wanted to give this place another shot, since our previous experience with this place was not so good.

We went there for lunch and we were surprised to see a set menu for Rs. 650 apart from a-la carte option. I went for the vegetarian option while my husband went for the non-vegetarian. I chose iced tea as my drink and got a mezze platter as my starter. The starters are yumm and a delight to look at. Next came the salad. It was mixed greens with beetroot. The salad was really nice but the wasabi was too much for my liking. It started to irritate my nose that I couldn't really eat the salad. But, it was light and fresh. 

Next was the super yummy pizza. I ordered the Giardino e piri piri. I asked him not to add pineapples in my pizza. The pizza was spicy and yummy for my tummy. It was the size of a personal pan.. By this time I was full and I was telling myself there is more to come!!! For main course, I ordered "Penne alla capagnola", which is pasta in red sauce. Again a delightful main course. For dessert I ordered a tiramisu.. Perfect end to my perfect dinner :)

Overall this place is amazing. The presentation is definitely the best I've seen in this city. The food is really nice. This time I didn't have any problem with the service, but the real service can be tested when the restaurant is full

I enjoyed spending my anniversary here and we did go for our family dinner to Kefi on the same day. Wonderful day spent thanks to my husband :)

3 kingdoms

I saw it on burrp that a new place has opened in KNK Road and I was excited to try it. I called up the restaurant for direction and went along with my family. I went to this place quite a while ago and I really don't remember the name of the dishes we ordered. 

My husband being a non-vegetarian opted for the lunch buffet. My sister-in-law, my niece and myself being vegetarian decided to order. When we opened the menu card, we could hardly find vegetarian dishes. I was pretty disappointed seeing the menu card while my husband was laughing away to glory. We ordered a potato dish for starter, which was basically french fries dipped in sweetest sauce.. It was quite good. Then came the hot and sour soup, which was again good. There is no Thai veg curry in menu but they said they could make one for us. It came along with rice, which again was good.

My husband commented that his non-veg was good. Overall the flavours were good but there is limited vegetarian option. They do have a private place for having parties and the menu can be customized to the occasion. 

I don't think I would be visiting this place again but the non-vegetarians would like this place a lot.
