#Restaurantreview #ontheleaf While shopping had a chance encounter with fellow foodie, Fhir Kya hona, we decided to try out "On The Leaf" situated at East Street having heard quite a lot about it. This has taken the place of 4 Seasons, next to Sujata Mastani at the beginning of East Street. The restaurant is in 2 levels. The interiors are sober and comfortable at the same time(sorry, forgot to take pics). The cuisine is an eclectic mix of traditional and fusion South Indian including Jain preparations. Here one is spoiled by the variety of dishes. So much so, we had to take help from the manager to decide on Kya khaana hai of course!!!!! Things we tried: Dakshin Masala Idli - The idli's were cooked in coconut gravy. Rich,creamy, mildly spiced, this was the star dish. (#mustmusttry) Mysore Masala Dosa- We asked for the potato filling separately. The potato filling was "super se bhi uperrrr". The finely chopped carrots n beans enhanced the taste. This Alongwith the crispy dosa splattered with red chilli-garlic powder was pure indulgence. I forgot the sambhar totally.(#dotry) Nuppu Bonda - The South Indian Arancini - cooked rice mixed with cheese, coconut slivers,peanuts, south Indian tadka, rolled in rice flour n deep fried. Crunchy from the outside, this fell short on taste. (#cantry) Filter Coffee - It was ok, could have been more strong. The Pan(stuffed with sugarcoated saunf) was a pleasant accompaniment to the bill. Overall a fine experience. The best part-this restaurant not only opens at 7:00 am(finally a breakfast place) but also offers 21% discount between 7am to 11:30am. So now you can not only have an amazing breakfast but after that you can shop to your heart's content at MG Road!!!

Not a new place but a great option for South Indian delicacies in camp area. Situated above Sujata mastani, the places serves authentic delicacy with needed adjustment to suite puneri palate. Being a south Indian place they also serve North Indian along and the desserts here are next level. Here is what i tried... • APPETISERS 1) Nuppu bonda Many are used to having hot fried poppers for starters these days, well here’s a South Indian delicacy. Tasty rice and coconut balls fried with groundnuts and little cheesy. An amazing option to try here, tastes somewhat similar to appe and goes well with their in house chutneys. #musttry • MAIN COURSE 1) Srilankan Curry with Stew Idli One of the best dish to try here. Soft rice Idli’s dipped in creamy besan flour curry (tastes similar to khandavi) ready to amaze your taste buds. #highlyrecommended 2) Spicy chilli potato dosa Tangy and crispy dosa stuffed with potato and schezwan chutney. It is served with a cup of sambhar. 3) Ragi dosa Simple, crispy and amazing. A perfect dosa, again served along their inhouse made Sambhar. It had small onion pieces in between which turned the taste around. Absolutely loved it, #musttry 4) Pepper corn Capsicum uttapam Soft and thick uttapam with Capsicum and corn. The taste was good but the Capsicum overpowered the taste. Fewer slices of Capsicum would make a great dish 😋. 5) Chocolate walnut dosa If you love chocolate this is something you shouldn’t miss. This surprisingly turned out to be amazing. The batter is mixed with chocolate syrup and crushed walnut which adds a brownie taste to it. A good option to try amongst 3-4 people. #musttry 6) Soya Kheema Finely diced soya along with green peas. Two words- soft and super juicy. The kheema tasted amazing with cheese appam and malabar paratha. Very different from what one is used to but another great option to try. #musttry •DESSERTS 1) Roasted almond Icecream One of their most seller and an amazing Icecream that you might have never tried before. Similar to cassata but more creamier and tastier. It has some crunchy roasted almonds in between and crushed biscuit border that would drool you even by its look. #highlyrecommended 2) Akrot halwa Walnut desserts are always to die for and when it comes to Indian desserts Halwa pairs perfect with everything. A sweet, juicy and perfect dessert to finish your meal with. Overall, A place you cannot miss if you crave South Indian food but are looking for some unique dishes. Lots of varieties and good ambiance. Two floor seating and an ideal place for parties.
