Arabian Delights, Anna Nagar West

Arabian Delights – This is a hidden gem that I discovered by chance, thanks to my curiosity.

After my colleague Asif introduced me to Shawarma last year, I’ve become a fan to the divine dish. When you love something, you start hunting for the great places to have it.

This is exactly what I did and I chanced up on Arabian Delights after a short hunt.

I’ve been here numerous times, and to my considerable surprise and happiness, they’ve been consistent across months with their Shawarma.

Though they have Shawarma rolls, which cost Rs. 70 (With veggies) and Rs. 80 (Without veggies) each, I usually go for their Shawarma plate, which is priced at Rs. 120 with 2 extra Kuboos, making the total to be Rs. 140 including 4 Kuboos.

Their signature garlic sauce with their finely shredded chicken makes their shawarmas a treat for everyone !

The main downside to this place, however, is their ambiance. It’s a dingy shop located amongst many larger shops on the pavement. There’s barely room for 10 people to sit inside, and the heat makes it difficult to spend even a minute longer than necessary to finish the meal.

Rating: 

Taste: 4/5

Cost: 4/5

Service: 3.5/5

Ambiance: 2/5

VFM: 4/5

Overall: 3.5/5

MC's Lunchbox, Porur

Image
Update : Got a call from the MC’s Lunchbox team, assuring me that they’ll be taking corrective action on this issue and will keep training sessions for their delivery folks (who, it appears, are outsourced) to ensure this doesn’t happen. Keeping this in mind, updating my rating to reflect more on the food and less on the delivery. Food: 3.5/5 Delivery: 2.5/5 (For now). Personal opinion: Considering the efforts the team has taken to go through the feedback in detail, take corrective measures, and keep the customers informed about it, I’m more than willing to try MC’s Lunchbox again. ==================================================================== Tried out MC’s Lunchbox for dinner delivery last week, for 3 days. Chose the delivery time as 9 PM – 10 PM, as that’s when I’d like to have my dinner (and also because I work on the night shift). Food: The rotis are good, the gravies are passable. VFM for the price paid (incl. delivery) ...

Kebab Corner, Greams Road

This is somewhat an old review, so I’ll keep it as short as possible. My friend Asif and I went here on a rainy day, straight from office, as he was craving for Kebabs, and wanted to have the best Kebab that he can get in Chennai that night. I checked Zomato, and found this place rated quite high. Though it was a fair distance away from our usual route, we decided to make the trip and we were glad we did. I ordered Malai Paneer tikka, while he went for a Chicken kebab. While I found the Malai paneer tikka decent, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. My friend said he found the Chicken kebab extremely good ! So that’s it folks ! The place is quite light on your wallets, total VFM and deserves a 4/5 ! [fb_album id=”1093932570618492″]

Foodie 2015 - Year in Review

Foodie 2015 A fellow foodie buddy of mine Rajiv Shankar started a discussion on reviewing last year from our foodie perspective. The idea sounded good, and I right away started planning for this post 😛 After taking a considerably long break from food blogging/reviewing for almost a year (Oct 2014 – Jul 2015), I resumed my food blogging while I was on an official trip in South Africa  (The link has my reviews from the trip) But ofc, the break was only for food blogging and not my food journey itself. I’ve tried out on average 8 – 10 restaurants a month in 2015, some of them repeats, some of them new. I’ve not blogged/reviewed all of them yet, and I’ve decided not to, for a quite a few, where the experience was unmemorable (brrrr…) With that, here’s my review of my ‘Foodie’ 2015: Best restaurant/cafe you visited in 2015? Out of all the restaurants I had visiting in 2015, I loved Little Italy the most, thanks for their excellent Chees...
