Review: Busago

When you've visited all the Thai places in your vicinity and all you get is butter chicken like Thai Curry and watery Khao Suey, you keep your expectations low at a new Thai restaurant.

Much to our surprise, Busago, a tiny little eatery, shines brightly between Thai Ban and Mia Cucina. Divided into an outdoor and indoor seating, this place is always full considering they have hardly 5-6 tables. But waiting is worth it! 

 
Without wasting much time, as soon as we got a table, we got straight to ordering. The menu is very limited, with curries, khao suey, momos and smoothies & juices.We called for the chicken momos, the red thai curry and the khao suey. We were first served six tiny but delicious pieces of momos. They were too tiny and before we could enjoy them, they were over!

Next up were the Curry and the Khao Suey. Two big bowls of curries arrived followed by two big bowls of rice and noodles. That was not it, we were also served a variety of spices alongside to add on to our curries as per our taste. Very impressive and the food was delicious as well! All we missed was a glass of wine, hope they serve us some on our next visit!

Review: JamJar Diner

  
You will wonder why the place is called JamJar Diner until you're served your drinks in cute little jam jars. *no kidding*
Located at Versova, where there is a queue of eateries trying to impress the locals, JamJar Diner is one of the most recent contenders. 

The little blue door that leads you inside this restaurant can be quite deceiving. Once you enter, you realize that the place is spacious, divided into two floors and has a terrace seating. We chose the terrace seating and simply loved the breezy, comfortable ambience.

The menu looks interesting but limited. The bar menu has all the cocktails with a twist. We called for the Red Sangria and the White Sangria. Although these sangrias were full of flavour, we would rather opt for the classic sangrias, the twist was too twisted for our taste buds. The Caprioska that we ordered next was stiff and perfect.

Coming to the food, we first called for the Nachos, and soon a huge portion of crispy tortillas with generous toppings arrived at our table. Absolutely delicious, we would totally recommend this! Next, we tried the Shrimp Popcorn. This was also quite good, makes for a great snack with drinks. Lastly we had the Chicken burger. The burger was passable as the patty could have been bigger and we missed some extra cheese!

For desserts we tried the Rocky Road - good, with large chocolate pieces that made it rather comfortable to eat, Mango Cheesecake - disappointing, we definitely think they need to work on this and the Ice-Cream Cookie Sandwich - this was the best out of the lot. 

Overall, JamJar Diner, with its impressive interiors, is a great place for a couple of drinks and some finger food. Skip, if you are looking forward to have an elaborate meal.
