picture this:
you're sitting outdoors, with a view of the sea, gazing at the sunset, cocktail in hand, enjoying fresh seafood.
but there's no loud bollywood music, hawkers, grimy tables and noisy tourists. bliss, right?
@terezabeachhouse by @sly.granny is a picturesque restaurant in nerul that beautifully balances casual dining with a touch of class.
the food? where to begin?
how does wolfing down grilled figs and coat cheese sound? perhaps a vibrant mezze platter or memphis style smoke pork ribs with mustard bbq sauce - both among the top dishes i tried. to be honest, it was hard to pick items with dishes like lamb ragout pappardelle, truffle chicken liver pate and pumpkin borani.
the gnocchi, with parmesan and goat milk ricotta dumplings, peas, asparagus and white cream was sublime, but if you prefer to stick to indian food, try the pandi fry kulcha comes stuffed coorgi style spicy pork, placed atop yummy raw mango chutney.
from among the desserts, definitely try the machhiato brulee - a real work of art in both flavour and texture. the classic lemon meringue cake was interesting, and i'd suggest skipping the biscoff cheesecake as there are better options to choose from.
the cocktails looked beautiful, and from my cocktail-drinking friends, i hear that the drinks were heady (coz no one likes skimping on the alcohol, am i right?).
