Stories Around Her

#nofilter as the name itself sounds uncommon, the same thing you can feel for its quirky and minimalistic designed indoors ambience. I visited this place on Friday afternoon, and the roof top sitting was quite comfortable and amiable even in day time and the heady mix of drinks and music was like cherry on the top. 

Not just a beautiful place and ambience to satisfy your taste buds, this place serves a variety of global cuisines on the menu along with Brazilian coffee which is 100 percent Arabica. The menu also lists wood fire pizzas, BBQ grills, bakery products and the most adored #nofilter fusion food. 

Calorie conscious people have also tasteful and healthy options in the menu like Greek Salad and Beetroot Kebabs. Soft, tender and full flavors these beetroot kebabs were absolutely mouthwatering.

#nofilter Tenders are another option from the menu for quick bites. Cottage Cheese tenders slightly spiced and served with Hawaiian mint mayo and fries, the same serving was there with Chicken Supremes wrapped with bacon. This was an ultimate option to go with drinks. 

Burgers are not just burgers here. #nofilter fusion burger was just beyond the expectations, it was huge and yummy in taste and looks both. Minced lamb & chicken, both was combined together into a burger patty. This patty was huge, juicy and topped with melted cheese and veggies.

 

And here is the food fusion at its best. Butter Chicken Pasta. Is any description required for this? A pasta in butter chicken curry to tickle your Indian taste buds. I am a big pasta lover and when it comes with such surprise, it is unbeatable. 

Drinks and shots will also surprise you here with their out of the box representation. A green colored beer with hint of lemony twist was just amazing.

Getting a healthy and radiant skin is everyone’s dream.

This kit comes with a combination of following basic skin care products of daily routine for morning and evening (AM/PM) applications.

Here is my experience of these products.

I helps in moisturizing and minimizing the under lines.
