Easy ways to eat out

An average middle class family of two kids would usually have mother and father working and conversations around the dinner table become their daily dose of involvement with the others life. How much ever interesting this tête-à-tête might be, sometimes they do get monotonous. It is to avoid such situations, I and my family always plan dinner outings every Friday or maybe Sunday brunch plans sometimes.Until few years back, we would just call our favourite neighbourhood restaurant for bookings but given the trend of a new restaurant cropping up by the hour, we have gotten into the habit of trying out new places. My recent favourites have been ‘Out of the blue’ in Bandra and ‘Sheehsa’ in Andheri. While “Out of the blue” is a warmly lit joint serving Italian delicacies with a touch of soothing western music and sometimes even live performances; “Sheesha” is a roof top restaurant that serves the world famous medieval Mughlai cuisine. The food is mouth watering and the atmosphere is electric at this Arabian theme styled restaurant. The food can be teamed up with some smooth sheesha or hukkah and you have the just right setting for that perfect evening out with friends and family. As these restaurant offer brilliant services and delectable food, their tables are perpetually full round the year. The worst part is they do not even take Restaurant booking on phone. You have to be personally be present there and wait your turn for good half an hour to an hour. It is quite a put off and this brings me to my latest discovery.I might be lagging behind when it comes to adopting the latest trends in the web world and given the fact that I live to eat, this notion seems extremely fascinating to me.
