Lifestyle Family Restaurant

Driving around in our car looking for a new and untried place to eat on a Saturday afternoon and we saw Lifestyle family restaurant. We did not have much of an expectation when entering Lifestyle family restaurant, since it looks like a deserted place without much footfall.


But surprise inside there were around 3-4 families and the interior is spic and span. Lots of natural light flooding in which makes the place look so pretty. They have this huge blown up picture of a lunch organised by the Nizam of Hyderabad. Interesting piece of history :)



Anyway getting down to the food. We ordered veg dumplings for starters, the veg dumplings were the hit of the day. Perfect in taste in shape I loved them!


Then the main dishes were plain naan, palak paneer and kadai chicken. The naan was soft and good, palak paneer well just as you would expect good enough(although I wish it were a tad more spicy) and the chicken kadai(as said by my dad) was good and spicy too.



For drinks we got the watermelon and mint drink(sorry forget the official name, and the menu card in zomato I guess is not updated, it does not show these drinks) The drink was terrible though :( tasted like plastic! How weird is that?!?


Service was excellent. The waiter was really attentive and food took a max of 15 minutes to reach our table.
Will definitely be back for the Kerala meals too ;)

Lemongrass Thai Restaurant

I have always wanted to visit this place forever already! Been seeing it a lot whenever we visit Lamcy plaza and I loveeee Thai food. I wonder why it took so long for me to visit Lemongrass :O

We visited them for dinner on a friday night and it was jam packed. We didn't get any reservations done since I thought it wouldn't be so full. I was so wrong. We had to wait for around 20 minutes to get a table. Te ambiance is nice to a nice date or informal family get-togethers, dimmed lights and candles set the mood.

The customary shrimp crackers with chilli sauce was served first. Straight off we ordered the Poh pia tod- vegetable spring rolls with a sweet plum sauce. The sweet plum sauce was a bit too sweet for me but it goes well with the spring rolls. The spring rolls were cooked to perfection! 



Main course was Pad kee mao- Egg fried rice with Tao Hoo pad khing- Stir fried tofu with ginger and assorted mushrooms. This dish was absolutely delish! I am a big fan of Tofu and the assorted mushrooms mixed in tasted so awesome and chewy. Goes really well with the fried rice. The friend rice is a story in itself, why? Because it tasted so awesome. 
My hubby got some chicken based dish the name which I forgot :( oops but he liked it too.



For drinks we got the lynchee lynchee which is a blue colored drink and really sweet and another drink the name which I forgot again :( but it was spicy due to adding of red chili in it. Quantity is good enough for two actually. 



Service was excellent. The staff are quick and attentive. Food didn't take more than 15 minutes to reach our table. 

Will I visit them again? Yes I would!
