The Dishes
The day started with a traditional breakfast spread featuring upma, pesarattu, and puri, accompanied by a refreshing ginger tea. At Grano, the reviewer ordered a Mexican salad which was satisfying, while the friend chose shakshuka. The standout dish at Grano was the mango malay which arrived with a crazy, delightful taste that impressed the reviewer. Later in the evening at the beachside location, they tried chicken steps as an appetizer, followed by buffalo wings which had a full, spicy flavor profile that worked well. An alfredo pasta and grilled chicken with herb rice rounded out the main courses. To finish the night, they visited Jagimarga market where they indulged in custard apple ice cream, a plate of pav bhaji, and midnight pani puri which gave that special late-night food experience.
