Incognito- Restaurant, Bar and Cafe

I recently went to this restaurant : Incognito in Baner which I have reviewed in this post.


 During some restaurant hunting in Baner with a friend, we found ourselves hanging around the newly built Balewadi Highstreet which is the host for some amazing restaurants and cafes. Baner has quickly established itself as a new hotspot in the city for restaurants and cafes which the western part of the city lacked badly till now.
The premises of Balewadi Highstreet are posh with clean footpaths, sophisticated buildings.We decided to try this restaurant "Incognito" out of all others due to its lively atmosphere and some great interiors.


The restaurant is a showcase of European culture with interiors designed in the similar fashion. You see a beautiful bar with subtle dim lighting as soon as you enter the place. The overall atmosphere inside automatically gives you a sense of coziness. Every table is provided with its own lighting above which actually makes the interiors exotic. All these "feel good" things do show up badly on your bill, I must warn!


We grabbed a table close to the window as the waiter guided us with the menu. From nachos, pasta, yakitori to pizzas and burgers the menu opened up to its variety of delicacies. They also served some Indian curries and kebabs.We decided to have a Veg Lasagna, a Classic Chicken Panini and a Margarita for a drink.

 Served in the traditional margarita glass, the drink was well balanced with acidity of lemon, saltiness on the edge of the glass (as margaritas are supposed to have) with a tinch of sweetness in a base of tequila.
Veg Lasagna was a baked to absolute perfection! I am still wondering if I ever had such a lasagna ever! The gooey mozzarella infused with mushrooms, spinach, celery was an absolute treat. Roasted eggplant just took the dish to another level for me! I have never been a fan of an eggplant but I have to confess, it has changed my perception! Beautiful golden crust on top is an indication that the dish in front of you is cooked till perfection. For us, the lasagna ticked all the boxes!
The chicken Panini also stood out for us. Served with fries, salad, lettuce and ketchup, the dish provided a wholesome meal.The ciabatta bread was infused with mayo and shredded chicken.However, the shredded chicken didn't really provide that meatiness which I thought it should. It was shredded way too fine I believe, completed mixed with the sauce that it was hard to believe that it's an actual chicken dish. A bit of grating would have been enough, I suppose. Anyway, the dish worked for me!

I am definitely going to this place again for some fish dish next time, which I think would be great too!
Stay tuned for more reviews!

Album Review: Dark Before Dawn by Breaking Benjamin

From L-R: Keith Wallen, Shaun Foist, Benjamin Burnley, Aaron Bruch, Jasen Rouch The taste of triumph is achieved only after a nerve wrecking phase of struggle after a failure.It is just like feeling the warmth of sunlight reaching the the earth after a night of a violent storm.Breaking Benjamin's Dark Before Dawn is a replication of the same.The album takes you through a journey of revival after a failure or hurt is well worth taking. The alternate rock/ post grunge band is back to continue the journey started by Benjamin Burnley, band's front man and lead singer, in 1998 in Pennsylvania ,USA. It has been a wait of six long years for the fans after the band released their most successful album Dear Agony in 2009.This period found Ben battling with severe health and legal issues. The conflict between the former members which eventually lead to the break up of the band found Ben fighting for living which is the sole reason for the whole new line of the band. Forme...

Career decisions: Are you thinking the right way?

Youngsters passing out from 10th and 12th standard are often bombarded with all sorts of questions regarding their careers. Some kids promptly burst out the answer,'Engineering!'. (I was among this category) But no one ever questioned the reason behind why the kid choose it as a career option out of so many alternatives. I am often confronted with silence from a 10th pass when I put this question forward. Some do manage to answer it as their 'interest' or 'hobby' or simply ' Sab yahi to karate Hain!' I wonder what may be their thoughts behind answering  one of the most important questions of their lives : careers Decisions about careers are taking in the adolescent stage where a student is dealing of variety of changes in his life.This stage is often regarded as a delicate or to be precise - vulnerable.Call it unfair or just the bad luck, it is in this stage the careers are decided. So its likely that this decision process might be affected b...

IAYC 2016: Astronomy, fun and lots more..

July-August has been  one of the most splendid months of my life by far. Not just I went for my first ever trip overseas but because this trip combined two of my passions: Astronomy and Photography. I was a part of IAYC 2016: International Astronomical Youth Camp. This was the 52nd edition of the camp this year which took place at Somerset, UK. The camp was 3 weeks long held from 24th July to 13th August. IAYC brings together 65 odd astronomy enthusiasts from every corner of the world together who carry out various astronomical projects together. The camp was divided into 8 different groups having 8 different sub-topics of astronomy. Every group is headed by a leader who guides its group members in their projects. I was a part of the group which dealt about astrophotography. Batch of  IAYC 2016 The camp was situated at a picturesque location in Somerset. Our house, Nettlecombe court, is a 16th century manor alongside  a church with beautiful architectur...
