Poush- Phoenix Market City in Mumbai

I hate the food courts in the malls. I hate the confused smells of food coming from every table/joint, the sea of patrons eating a burger, chaat, biryani, noodles all at the same time, the cacophony, the sight of so much food!! And that’s why I hated catching a movie at the Phoenix Market City in Kurla. Other than the crazy food-court, and the sad Crème Centre and another sadder joint whose name I can’t recall, there weren't any eating options out there. Until we discovered otherwise after watching Frozen last week. It looked to us that Phoenix City was on a restaurant-opening-spree – Moti Mahal, some Royal something, Rain Forest etc. Poush, a Kashmiri restaurant, with its Shikhara on display and beige-coloured curtains and wooden embellishments looked inviting. We went in…

Ambience @ Poush in Phoenix Market City, Kurla: It is indeed in the style of a Shikara. We mistook it for the Kashmiri joint we dined at in Oshiwara some 3-4 years ago, KongPoush. This Poush is, instead, a chain of the Poushs in Andheri West and Thane. This particular joint was apparently just a week old in the Phoenix Market City. Which is why, everything is so spic and span – the curtains, upholstery..

Food @ Poush in Phoenix Market City, Kurla: They serve the usual royal-sounding fare like Gosht Yakhni, Kokur Yakhini, Murgh Dum shorba, Goshtaba, Rista etc. We were hungry and settled for the non-veg thali comprising – Sheekh Kababs, Rajma, Nadier Palak, Roganjosh, Kokur Yakhini, Raita, Roti, Rice and Phirni. All for Rs 475 per plate. Quite a bit of food there. 


The food is tasty. They served the sweet-scented, herbed Kashmiri chai too, which I would have enjoyed some more had I not been so full!!


Stick to ordering ala carte and maybe you will enjoy the food at Poush even more. There won’t be the stress to finish it, after-all!

Final Word on @Poush in Phoenix Market City, Kurla: Go for it if you are in mood for Kashmiri food. For Powaiites, this is a great option as we no longer have to drive up to Andheri for those Yakhni Pulaos and Shorbas and Kashmiri Goshts…

Yes, E-Wallets are better than cash: How to setup and use e-wallets.

There is chaos on the street, in the banks, ATMs and petrol pumps. We expect the scene to remain the same for coming days or weeks. But there is an easy way out of this, especially for all those who have a smartphone. Tuesday, November 8, was a usual day till about 8pm in the evening when PM Modi said that  Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes will cease to be legal tenders from the midnight in India. That was the midnight of November 8. What followed that decision, presumably made to fight black money, has been a blurry slideshow of long queues outside ATMs, petrol pumps and just about everywhere. While many smartphone users are aware of mobile wallets and are probably using them, many are not. And even those who are using mobile wallets probably don't know all the uses of these apps at present. If a mobile wallet like Paytm is used to its full potential, you will not even need to carry cash, except for some situations. If you think it is an overstatement, keep on reading
