The Vegetarian Foodgasms

Been quite sometime since I've written a blog post, eh? Well, I'd just put it on the human nature to work your butt off to make the ends meet! But to hell with the drama, it's time for FARZIFICATION!!!!!

For the uninitiated, Farzi Cafe is the food fraternity's first family, the Kalra's brainchild and buoy, it's wonderful! After dazzling the capital with all the lights and drama, Farzi Cafe finally makes it to the Mumbai shores and needless to say, Mumbai has been FARZIFIED!


So what's all the hype about this Farzi Cafe??
Farzi Cafe is a brilliant cross between a cafe and a fine dine restaurant. Coming up with the customary molecular gastronomy that the Kalra's are so famous for, Farzi adds a touch of brilliance by making the prices comparatively cheaper compared to the rest of their masterpieces. So, here is a restaurant which charges you like a cafe and serves you like a restaurant!

Ambiance: Although the name has the word "Cafe" ingrained in it, Farzi Cafe exhibits some stellar ambiance beating many of the big-ticket restaurants in this sector by miles. Quite spacious with comfy cushion seats straddled on the entire length opposite the bar and minuscule tables seating 4 and 2 in between, the cafe is dimly lit but the visuals on the wall complimenting the music give the place a very "trippy" and "classy" feeling at the same time.

The fancy Amuse Bouche served before starting any meal

Food: Living up to the tag of being the pioneers in molecular gastronomy, Farzi Cafe yet again dazzles pulling out some kick-ass tricks from its magic bag. For those who have already been to any of the Kalras' establishments, you might find an uncanny resemblance to some of the presentations - a pleasant nostalgia. For those who are new to this, you might simply find yourself falling in love with the way the food is presented to you. Be it the humble Amuse Bouche (provided prior to the meal) or the various Palate Cleansers in between (love their Irish Bailey Cream Pops personally) or the various mains, Farzi Cafe with all the nitrogen smoke, dazzling lights and creative usage of regular dishes adds a quirky new presentation to the daily affair.

What will make you sing in joy?
1. Parle G Cheesecake: I know it's a sin to have desserts even before the mains start, lest even mentioning it! But trust me folks, this one masterpiece of a dessert curated by the brilliant chefs behind the veils of the Cafe's kitchens will make you sing in delight. I mean, come on who'd think of replacing the crust of a standard cheesecake with our very own Parle-Gs? And sprinkling Cadbury's Gems on top of it - Well, just shut up and take my money already!
RATING : 5/5

2. Ratatouille Pav Bhaji: Another winner right off the shelves of the Farzi's kitchen! The humble French peasant's dish, Ratatouille is given a desi twist by mixing it up with the Mumbaiya Pav Bhaji and the result?
