Featuring: Dosa Platter From Sankalp Does it happen to you as well, that you crave what's not allowed the most? With the lockdown that's gripped Mumbai, we are majorly craving eating out. It's actually not about the food anymore, but the idea of dining out. This reminds us of the last trip we took just before these restrictions got imposed, to Ahmedabad. We had some delicious food and explored the city just a little bit.  This dosa platter is from one of the many meals we had in Ahmedabad. We loved the variety of dosas that came in this platter, mysore, masala and spring. Each distinct in taste and equally delicious! . . . . Like us?

Once Upon A Time in Prague! It's almost a year and a half since we last took our mega trip. We did enjoy a few fleeting weekend ones, but nothing extraordinary. They say, money has no memory, experience has. And the dreary times only seem to be making us go back to our memories of the experiences we've had back in the pre-covid days. This one's from our trip to Prague or Praha as they like to call it there. We actually coupled that trip with a visit to Berlin and Amsterdam as well and it was an experience of a lifetime!  Revisiting memories for now, until we get to travel again!  . . . . Like us?

Mumbai Lockdown... Again - Well we just don't learn.  If 2020 wasn't enough, 2021 is turning out to be no different and the city stealing the limelight once again is Mumbai. With a daily count of 10K covid cases, we are entering another lockdown. WFH is the need of the hour, essentials are just the services on, restaurants and hotels (poor guys) are affected once again and it's all back to square one. Only if we were more cautious, kept ourselves safer and maintained the adequate distance and sanitisation. As things come to a halt in aamchi Mumbai, we can only hope for vaccines to kick in faster and things to go back to normal as soon as possible. . . . . Like us?

Featuring: Korma + Malabari Parotta at @sankalprestaurant  When in Ahmedabad, Gujarat you expect a wholesome Kathyawadi or Gujarati thali feast or even the regular farsan items like Dhokla, fafda, etc. But what if we tell you, you can find a super delicious South Indian feast in the heart of Gujju land as well?  We were totally blown by the food at Sankalp, right from Idli platter to Dosa platter the variety was grand and delicious! Even the many chutneys they served were so tasty and impressive. While idli dosa are still considered easier bets, we were totally surprised by how good the Korma and Malabar Parotta tasted when we called for this as mains! Probably one of the best we'd had. Have you tried Sankalp restaurant? They happen to be a popular chain and spread across various cities in India and abroad.  . . . . Like us?

Featuring: Filter Coffee Chocolate Mousse!  Ever had coffee infused desserts? They do twice the work of a normal dessert. Definitely handle the sugar cravings but also give you that amazing coffee hit!  Funny thing is, how even our preferences change as we grow up. While chocolate was the thing we went for as kids, sweeter things, everything sweet, and then as we grew up, we started opting for bitter sweets, like dark chocolate, the darker the better, or even a sharp coffee taste in our desserts, to cut through the sweetness.  Isn't what we opt somehow also reflect on our life choices? Opting for difficult courses, demanding jobs, over demanding married lives, parenthood, hoping for the sweetness at the end of it, and taking the bitter shots to cut through anything extra sweet while we go along with our lives?  Well, this simple dessert got a tad bit deeper, for those not reading this post, can definitely enjoy and crave for a good dessert!  Until next time!  . . .

Featuring: Chilly Cheese Sandwich and Veg Pizza at Amul Cafe!  You cannot go to Ahmedabad and not visit the famous Amul Cafe! Honestly, this joint actually didn't occur to us at first, despite seeing an Amul outlet almost at every corner of Ahmedabad, but when we asked at our hotel where could we go for a quick breakfast bite, he said, "Amul jao, hygienic hai aur sasta bhi!"  Well, isn't that all we need from a cafe these days? Anyway, the food we tried here was decent at best. There were great Amul ice creams, milk variants and coffees up for sale too. So we found ourselves a good hygienic spot to eat, ordered some delicious food and enjoyed a great breakfast!  What do you look for in restaurants these days?  . . . . Like us?

To the good times, till we meet again!  From stolen glances to stolen weekend trips, we have come a long way. Covid has taught us all to value freedom more than anything else. The freedom to move around freely, trust things without a doubt, freedom to shake hands, touch objects, touch each other, heck touch even yourself.  Right before this stringent lockdown that's gripped Mumbai all over again, we chanced upon a quick weekend trip to Ahmedabad for our bestie's wedding and it was just the perfect escape we needed.  So while the reality still remained and we went about sanitising ourselves as much as possible, we also could cherish the time we got together, cherish the time we got with our best friends and also cherish the time of travel!  Now back, we are going over the pictures that we took while being bunked at home and its all so good!  . . .

Featuring: Gujarati Thali When in Ahmedabad, do as Amdavadis do... have Thaal!  We recently braved the Covid scare and made our way to Ahmedabad to attend our bestie's wedding and while it was fun it was also a food-tastic vacay!  Despite our short stay we did explore the city a little bit and also tried some great food, including this grand Thaal! This was a feast honestly! Like we do see those bahubali thalis etc and wonder how people have it, but when we got a demo of a thali this delicious, we think even Bahubali is doable!  Also, our Aam Ras Puri checklist for this year is DONE!  This thali is totally helping us get through Monday!

Featuring: Cold Coffee What kind of a person are you? The one who goes to coffee shops and asks for Mocha, Latte, Frappuccino etc. or the one who walks in and just says, "Cold Coffee"?  While coffee shops keep enticing customers with multiple variants. We happen to be lovers of simple plain cold coffee and some hot summer days that's all we need to get through!  . . . . Like us?

What I Miss Most During Covid Is Swimming Immersion, even just thinking about it, is the balm we need right now. Reminiscing about the days when we'd jump into that water and find ourselves in a peaceful space. Where we were suspended, yet moving; floating, yet never in danger of sinking. It’s on the opening pages of “Moby-Dick.” “Yes, as everyone knows,” Ishmael declares, “meditation and water are wedded forever.” But here we are now, with pools looking like a distant dream, sitting on the outside, in the chaos, gazing at the stillness and calm of the water.  Do you miss pools as much as we do too?  . . .

Featuring: Khaleesi Bowl!  While you switch from one long weekend to the other, please note, your body demands a rest from all that junk onslaught. So here's a reminder, even healthy food tastes good and healthy is what you need to break that junk loading!  We had this Khaleesi Bowl at Kale & Kaffe and loved it. This was all healthy delicious dishes put together, right from perfectly grilled paneer, to delicious quinoa, some sauteed vegetables and hummus along with greens and a few healthy lavash sticks.  Come to think of it, this can all be made at home too! But if not, there's always Kale & Kaffe . . . . Like us?

Featuring: Berry Blast Smoothie!  Beat the heat with this amazing Summer Blast smoothie!  It’s got overnight soaked oats in almond milk, chia seeds, some blueberries and strawberries with a dash of maple syrup and cinnamon. Also a spoon of yoghurt. Our sister @rupal_d is making the most of the summer season and giving us some smoothie goals. She recently made this and it's definitely encouraging us to try it out too. But this for her was her breakfast.  Does smoothie pass as breakfast for you too? Or do you prefer heavy first meal of the day? Especially in summers. We like to keep our intake more liquids during the scorching heat and spices and rich foods are a big no no.  Do you alter your diet as per the season too?  . . . . Like us?

Featuring: Misal Pav + Chai Count your days, your hectic work days and repeat after us, 3 blessed days of freedom await at the end of this workweek!  What have you planned for Holi? Cases are rising, not sure if Holi will be played, but are you venturing out? If so, do you make pit stops for breakfast or lunch? What's that like?  We normally prefer this Maharashtrian delight and love it unconditionally! The roadside eating joints at the highway all across Maharashtra would serve this one particular dish at least and trust us, you won't have a bad experience at any. We haven't had a bad missal ever at any of these joints but we still prefer Shree Dutta snacks. Anyone from Mumbai would swear by this snack joint and would've at least once had Vada Pav or Missal Pav here.  Anyway, that's all about today. 1 Day down, 4 to go!

Salad Days! So while food blogging involves a lot of eating out, we normally try to balance it out by eating healthy on days we aren't reviewing.  But does healthy have to be boring too? There are a lot of health cafes that have opened up in Mumbai and one of our most favourite in the category is Kale and Kaffe.  This health cafe has such delicious dishes to offer and all with calorie check! It's amazing how they make it happen!  Do you visit health cafes too?  . . . . . Like our recommendations?

Featuring: Dhokla Lasagna from @spicekub Fancy some fancy Indian dining? Head to Spice Klub! These guys are taking Indian fusion to another level! This place is such a delight for vegetarians coz it offers so much more than just naan paneer!  We really enjoyed our dinner here and still can't get over the molecular gastronomic experience it's been!  Starting off with this Dhokla Lasagna, this was one of the most innovative variations of Dhokla that we've had and trust us when we say this, it was mind blowing. There's a whole lot that we've tried here too, right from Nitro Bhel packed in edible plastic pouches, Chocolate Pani Puri, Bubbling Kulfi, Samosa Chaat in a tart, the list is long and we shall keep posting bits from our experience.  So like we always say, follow our trail at @rreservedsseat and use hashtag #reservedseat to get featured!  . . . . . #indianrecipes #foodporn #foodie #mumbaifood #indianfood #indianstreetfood #zingyzest #veggies #desi #paneer #foodies #mumbaifoodie #delhifoodies #pizza #recipes #desifood #streetfood #food #delicious #dinner #pavbhaji #foodblogger  #foodblogging #foodiegram #desifood #indianfoodie #spicyfood   (at SpiceKlub) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMjNNnrljL0/?igshid=lpr7bhf4gdrl

Featuring: Ginger Cookies & Milk There's nothing that goes better than Milk & Cookies and when it's Ginger Cookies then it's definitely a clincher!  I, Swati, am not so much a chocolate lover as Raunak is. They say you don't really have to be siamese twins to get married or be a perfect partner to one another.  We cherish our differences too, so while he cherishes all the chocolate items and also enjoys the fact that he doesn't have to share much, I bring in the extras to the table.
