Fine Dining Mumbai | Masala Library 🇮🇳

Masala Library by Jiggs Kalra - Great place to bring clients after work for a relaxed setting that still delivers on fine dining. Not as intimate, detailed, or refined as the place I went to with ‪@chrismixxlewis‬ so you will have to check out his fine dining as well!

In India before they serve you beer at a restaurant .. they hold the bottle in front of you.. its not because they are showing off their finest beer... it means they are asking you touch the bottle and approve if the beer temperature is cool/cold enough for u and whether you are ok for it to be opened up and served to you.

You looks so handsome in this episode, more like a model than those who participated in America's Next Top Model! It is not difficult to understand that the prices of their vegetables and non-vegetables are very close, because there are a lot of vegetarians in India, it is easier for restaurants to make money! You are like a food critic, curious about every single food! Their food really does look amazing and beautiful like a work of art! Glad you turned the meal into a perfect show!

People forget their own name when they get drunked and you are explaining the dishes, ingredients to the point 😄🙌

[@apoorvasharma8147]

Haha 😂. Exactly

[@shalami450]

it was bear u dont really get that drunk the alcohol concentration is at about 3-4% maybe a little more that should be easily handled by a man and the crazy drunks u see on the roads most often drink cheap desi daru (mathanol) which is actually hazardus to the human body and the bear sold in legal shops contain ethyle alcohol which can be safely ejected by the body. hence thats the science behind it. this should resolve the confution why u dont see ppl acting crazy drinking branded liquor but see crazy people dancing on the streets (and most of the times these r the ppl who cant buy good quality liquor)

[@Hegdeboss737]

Sorry to say but 4 to 7% alcohol is not enough to get high. I need atleast 3 beers 😂

[@partywithneha]

You think people get drunk in two beers?

[@BibxikxbMmJvih]

That's light beer you have to drink a lot of that to even get a good kick.. i need continuous 5-6 large strong beers to get me high enough to enjoy.. drinking 3 large light beer while eating you feel absolutely nothing after 15 minutes you finished drinking.
