Aanaa World Cocktail Kitchen - Kolad

I recently visited XOXO Atria Mall (Worli) after hearing about it. The location is perfect for any gatherings be it a birthday, friends reunion, or any celebration. It's true. I experienced it myself. XOXO is a stand alone restaurant that has a gaming zone as well. The restaurant has a gaming zone, a bar, and a place for casual dining. The hospitality is at its best. Moreover, they follow every social distancing norm. The seating arrangements are comfortable, and you can sit for hours. There is no space crunch. The menu is distinctively straightforward one menu for all. A mix of every cuisine put together. Every other dish that came on the table looked presentable and tasty. I had Kokum Fizz and even refilled it. It was the drink of the afternoon refreshing and relishing. Then moved on to Paneer Kalimirch and Open Tacos Pizza. Even though tacos sounds overrated, it was fantastic with cheese, sauce, and cream. For the non vegetarians, there is Chilli Garlic Prawns and Resham Patti Murg Tikka. I loved the Greek Pizza with a lot of veggies as toppings. It was fresh, mouthful, and made the right way. I love Nasi Goreng, so I ordered one for the mains. We ended on a good note with the Gulan Jamun Cheesecake. It was a great lunch. While I was lunching here, I saw the SOBO crowd spending their time here making memories. Isn't that speaks a lot about the place? So next time make sure XOXO is on your cart.

SoBo has a newbie in the list of happening places in town. A cocktail bar like no other, the choicest of cocktails from around the world served on your table. Click, sip and enjoy!!! With an equally well-curated food menu as the cocktails menu, Baraanaa makes sure you have a good 'drink and eat ' experience. The place thrives on ebullience and at the same time the interiors have a feel-good touch to it. We had: #DRINKS# 1. Jokkmock kiss- a vodka based cocktail, a little on the sweetish side but the ingredients stand out distinctly 2. Jamaican blue- one that you need to have if you want to get high, the size of this drink itself speaks a lot for it 3. Godfather- smoked whiskey in this one 4. Yaun yang hooch- combination of whiskey with tea, coffee, this one 's got a creamy texture #APPETIZERS# 1. Chota kadaknath- black chicken from Central India known for it 's high protein and low-fat content, marinated in traditional spicy bhatti ka murg masala, a spicy one 2. Subz biryani potli- biryani in oven baked mini pockets, has dry fruits 3. Mutton galouti- a must-have for mutton lovers, the tikkas melt in your mouth, so soft, so smooth 4. Dill-wali fish tikka- fish tikkas served with dill leaves and ajwain sprinkled gives it a good flavour, served with tartar sauce #MAINS# Dumdar chicken biryani- authentic traditional Indian biryani rive layered with chicken curry which is dum cooked in charcoal #DESSERTS# 1. Phirni brulee- phirni gets a firangi twist 2. Molten chococup- a must-have for Chocolate lover, the texture of chocolate is so smooth Baraanaa is an experience in itself, the food, the drinks, the mood, the ambience just strike the right chords together.

BARAANAA World Cocktail Bar and Kitchen. The name says it all. For me apart from the name, this place is classy has an amazing energy level, vibe is fantastic. One feels good the moment he/she enters the place. There is a story behind this name. Baraanaa serves some amazing cocktails which the Mixologist has curated from each country. One can call is a lounge cocktail bar. Coming to the Cuisine they serve North Indian Asian with a twist. Starting with cocktails INDIAN SOUR their take on a whiskey sour. Here the Mixologist has used Indian herbs to get the balance going. Nice. Mexican Little Pamlo name says it all. It's a blend of tequila/grapefruit and basil. Refreshing. JOKKMOKK a must try. Swedish drink. White chocolate is eminent. Vodka based drink, Refreshing with a hint of lychee. French Irish is all about Campari/Gin. A bit of citrus comes from mandarin. Aroma from the French Vanilla with Rosemary. Garnish of cucumber. Lovely. Last but not the least WISCONSIN SPICE OLD FASHIONED bourbon/cinnamon and orange. A hint of all slice and sugar. A bit strong. Presentation top notch. Coming to food personally feel this place as a lot of potential. They have hit the correct notes with the flavours/balance/texture. Skipped the Bar food section Started with SUBZI BIRYANI POTLI (VEG) here the chef is stuffed lovely aromatic Indian Biryani in a filo which is rested over vegetables. Filo is oven baked. Texture good. Taste Subtle. PATRA VERSION 2.0 these are made in house. Stuffed with cottage cheese (marinated with onions/chillies and Indian spices) Steamed and topped with tangy papaya Chhunda (Indian pickle) Texture well. Taste Tangy/Sweet/Spicy. CHETTINAD MURG one of the really good ones i have had in recent times. Chicken soft/Juicy marination Southern Indian with spices/coconut masala. Topped with tomato and coconut chutney. Taste Spicy. MEMNA CIGARS presented well. Crispy/Flaky/Light Phyllo stuffed with braised mutton with Indian spices. Texture Tender Taste Mildly spicy. Burgers Corn Cheese Naan. Crunchy patty made out of Corn and cheese with Tandoori Ragi Naan. This is stuffed with basil pesto and coleslaw served with Potato wedges. Mini meal by itself. Texture crunchy taste Medium spicy. Oriental Burger needs to be looked into. Patty was a bit hard. Can be better. A touch of Thai flavours. Served with homemade prawn crackers. Ok to good. Nothing WOW (chefs please look into this) Goan Kaju Curry with Sol Kadi Shot Sol Kadhi was fantastic. Texture of the curry was velvety. Tasted spicy full of bold flavours. Balance was just perfect. This is native Goan. This was served with Orange couscous. Combination good. Overall a lovely veg dish. Something different. Dessert Must try the Molten Chocó Cup Not that sweet. Baked to perfection. Light/Fluffy. It's basically Nutella chocolate lava cake served with chocolate stick. Overall This place will rock. No looking back. Go for it guys. Sobo has a new place to party. Cheers.

XOXO had the perfect vibe for a Friday night or a weekend dinner. Well spaced out interiors, neon lighting, comfortable seating, adjacent inhouse arcade gaming, English themed palatial style urban seating more like a private bay and great music. I happened to walk into this place since I visited Decathlon. The menu is mainly around comfort and finger food, although with a twist. Heard of Bunny Chow Pav Bhaji? Highly recommend the Chili Garlic Prawns, Open Taco Pizza, Paneer Kalimirch and the Tandoori Pizza. The dessert Gulab Jamun Cheesecake was a winner. Scrumptious wobbly cheese cake with the warm and G.Jamun melting perfectly while you chugging it. What was okay? The mocktails. Well, we were not really here for a drink, but the Kokum Fizz and Virgin Mojito was sober. Service was spot on, prices reasonable for South Mumbai, no hassles at Car Parking. All this wouod make me drop by again.

Our own place for trying varieties of cocktails. One of the best places to have your cocktails. They serve around twenty different cocktails, one from each country. Theybuage speciality in serving cocktails alongside serving some delicious food. Tried a few of cocktails and loved. The service is cordial. The ambiance is dimly lit.
