Aanaa World Cocktail Kitchen - Kolad

XOXO had the perfect vibe for a Friday night or a weekend dinner. Well spaced out interiors, neon lighting, comfortable seating, adjacent inhouse arcade gaming, English themed palatial style urban seating more like a private bay and great music. I happened to walk into this place since I visited Decathlon. The menu is mainly around comfort and finger food, although with a twist. Heard of Bunny Chow Pav Bhaji? Highly recommend the Chili Garlic Prawns, Open Taco Pizza, Paneer Kalimirch and the Tandoori Pizza. The dessert Gulab Jamun Cheesecake was a winner. Scrumptious wobbly cheese cake with the warm and G.Jamun melting perfectly while you chugging it. What was okay? The mocktails. Well, we were not really here for a drink, but the Kokum Fizz and Virgin Mojito was sober. Service was spot on, prices reasonable for South Mumbai, no hassles at Car Parking. All this wouod make me drop by again.

Our own place for trying varieties of cocktails. One of the best places to have your cocktails. They serve around twenty different cocktails, one from each country. Theybuage speciality in serving cocktails alongside serving some delicious food. Tried a few of cocktails and loved. The service is cordial. The ambiance is dimly lit.

The name is world cocktail bar and rightly so as the cocktails here are class apart! Yes, now let me begin to tell you how spectacular this place is. It is a huge place with tables spread across and not clustered which I love, the lighting is perfect for a date of dinner with friends as well as family and having a beautiful time. The staff is extremely polite and the service is super quick! Mr. Hitesh Solanki is the mastermind behind the droolworthy cocktails. Take a bow! DRINKS 1) WISCONSIN SPICE OLD FASHION Whiskey Base) Being a whiskey lover, this was the ultimate cocktail for me, despite the fact that it was strong, yet the taste of the whiskey wasn't overpowering. It was super smooth. Basically, bourbon whiskey is mixed with cinnamon, orange bitters and all spices b@itters with the inner side of the glass sprinkled with Demerara sugar. What a wonderful mix of flavours! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2) JOKKMOKK Vodka Based) Yes, this may sound a bit unusual but the beauty lies in that itself. The quantity may seem less for the price but trust me, you will just not be able to get over this one! Mix of Vodka White Chocolate Saffron with a hint of lychee and the glass is sprayed with rose water. Fragrant and beautiful! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 3) MEXICAN LITTLE PAMLO Tequila Based) This is served in a wooden glass and presented like a tree. This is a mix of Tequila Grapefruit Basil It was a bit tangy but it was very refreshing. RECOMMENDED 4) FRENCH IRIS Gin Based) This complemented the meal very well as the alcohol taste is not too strong and just about perfect. Mix of Campari Gin Mandarin French Vanilla. The dash of cucumber slice cut through the tangy and sweet flavours. Lovely! RECOMMENDED FOOD 1) PATRA 2.0 This is the typical Patra Gujju dish) Alu Wadi Maharashtrian) but served with a twist of paneer stuffed inside the patra, steamed and topped with papaya chunda which brought the sweetness in the dish! Decent! 2) SUBZ BIRYANI POTLI This was the star for me, in which there are small potlis stuffed with cooked biryani rice and placed on top of biryani masala added and cooked veggies. The softness of the potli and crunchiness of vegetables made for a wonderful dish! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 3) COTTAGE CHEESE STROGANOFF FLATBREAD Now, the tricky thing to have this is to have it while it is still piping hot else the base with become dry and difficult to bite or break with hands as well. It has stronganoff sauce gherkins slices marinated and fried cottage cheese. Nice one though! DESSERTS 1) MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CUP This is a must must must have if you don't mind eggs in desserts just like me! It is basically melted Nutella chocolate cake Fondant served in a big cup with the chocobar type ice cream dipped in it. Garnished with mint leaves. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2) PHIRNI BRULÉ This is a mix of France meets India, where the traditional phirni is combined with crème brulé. Served along with homemade nutmeg cookies. It was a cold dessert and tastes really nice! RECOMMENDED Definitely coming here again with a bigger gang of friends and enjoying till late night with some foot tapping and groovy music. Fantastic job!

With an equally well-curated food menu as the cocktails menu, Baraanaa makes sure you have a good 'drink and eat ' experience. The place thrives on ebullience and at the same time the interiors have a feel-good touch to it. We had: #DRINKS# 1. Jokkmock kiss- a vodka based cocktail, a little on the sweetish side but the ingredients stand out distinctly 2. Jamaican blue- one that you need to have if you want to get high, the size of this drink itself speaks a lot for it 3. Godfather- smoked whiskey in this one 4. Yaun yang hooch- combination of whiskey with tea, coffee, this one 's got a creamy texture #APPETIZERS# 1. Chota kadaknath- black chicken from Central India known for it 's high protein and low-fat content, marinated in traditional spicy bhatti ka murg masala, a spicy one 2. Subz biryani potli- biryani in oven baked mini pockets, has dry fruits 3. Mutton galouti- a must-have for mutton lovers, the tikkas melt in your mouth, so soft, so smooth 4. Dill-wali fish tikka- fish tikkas served with dill leaves and ajwain sprinkled gives it a good flavour, served with tartar sauce #MAINS# Dumdar chicken biryani- authentic traditional Indian biryani rive layered with chicken curry which is dum cooked in charcoal #DESSERTS# 1. Phirni brulee- phirni gets a firangi twist 2. Molten chococup- a must-have for Chocolate lover, the texture of chocolate is so smooth Baraanaa is an experience in itself, the food, the drinks, the mood, the ambience just strike the right chords together.

BARAANAA World Cocktail Bar and Kitchen. The name says it all. For me apart from the name, this place is classy has an amazing energy level, vibe is fantastic. One feels good the moment he/she enters the place. There is a story behind this name. Baraanaa serves some amazing cocktails which the Mixologist has curated from each country. One can call is a lounge cocktail bar. Coming to the Cuisine they serve North Indian Asian with a twist. Starting with cocktails INDIAN SOUR their take on a whiskey sour. Here the Mixologist has used Indian herbs to get the balance going. Nice. Mexican Little Pamlo name says it all. It's a blend of tequila/grapefruit and basil. Refreshing. JOKKMOKK a must try. Swedish drink. White chocolate is eminent. Vodka based drink, Refreshing with a hint of lychee. French Irish is all about Campari/Gin. A bit of citrus comes from mandarin. Aroma from the French Vanilla with Rosemary. Garnish of cucumber. Lovely. Last but not the least WISCONSIN SPICE OLD FASHIONED bourbon/cinnamon and orange. A hint of all slice and sugar. A bit strong. Presentation top notch. Coming to food personally feel this place as a lot of potential. They have hit the correct notes with the flavours/balance/texture. Skipped the Bar food section Started with SUBZI BIRYANI POTLI (VEG) here the chef is stuffed lovely aromatic Indian Biryani in a filo which is rested over vegetables. Filo is oven baked. Texture good. Taste Subtle. PATRA VERSION 2.0 these are made in house. Stuffed with cottage cheese (marinated with onions/chillies and Indian spices) Steamed and topped with tangy papaya Chhunda (Indian pickle) Texture well. Taste Tangy/Sweet/Spicy. CHETTINAD MURG one of the really good ones i have had in recent times. Chicken soft/Juicy marination Southern Indian with spices/coconut masala. Topped with tomato and coconut chutney. Taste Spicy. MEMNA CIGARS presented well. Crispy/Flaky/Light Phyllo stuffed with braised mutton with Indian spices. Texture Tender Taste Mildly spicy. Burgers Corn Cheese Naan. Crunchy patty made out of Corn and cheese with Tandoori Ragi Naan. This is stuffed with basil pesto and coleslaw served with Potato wedges. Mini meal by itself. Texture crunchy taste Medium spicy. Oriental Burger needs to be looked into. Patty was a bit hard. Can be better. A touch of Thai flavours. Served with homemade prawn crackers. Ok to good. Nothing WOW (chefs please look into this) Goan Kaju Curry with Sol Kadi Shot Sol Kadhi was fantastic. Texture of the curry was velvety. Tasted spicy full of bold flavours. Balance was just perfect. This is native Goan. This was served with Orange couscous. Combination good. Overall a lovely veg dish. Something different. Dessert Must try the Molten Chocó Cup Not that sweet. Baked to perfection. Light/Fluffy. It's basically Nutella chocolate lava cake served with chocolate stick. Overall This place will rock. No looking back. Go for it guys. Sobo has a new place to party. Cheers.
