CHAKHUM-AMA : A Manipuri Kitchen ๐Ÿ  Sagolband Meino Leirak Machin (Above Ranjana Emporium) ๐Ÿ’ผ Restuarant; Manipuri Cuisine; Ethnic Restaurant ๐Ÿ•’ 10:30 AM - 7:00 PM            The evolving trends of food & beverage operations have never been slowed down. Even in a hill surrounded remote city like Imphal, there has been some appreciable up-gradation in its food & beverage service scene. Just some 3 years ago, Imphal was neither familiar with the term "Dine Out" nor "Coffee Culture". Today, every look and corner of the city has a number of restaurants and coffee shops evolving out to feed the trend followers of the present time. Today, in Imphal, one can find a number of resturants, ranging from fast foods, Indians, Manipuri to Continental, Thai, Japanese and so on. While most of these restaurants are running quite successfully, some of them having high profiles with their own unique styles and images, I can still see t...

SID ESPRESSO ๐Ÿ  Ngangbam Colony, Yaiskul, Imphal ๐ŸตCoffee Shop; Bakeries & Confectioneries; Beverages          A coffee shop with the name of a coffee drink, Sid Espresso is one of the recently established coffee place in Imphal.

Mara Cafe Mara Cafe ๐Ÿ  Uripok Khoisnam Leikai, Near Fly-Overbridge, Imphal - 795001 ๐Ÿ•‘ 10:00 am - 8:00 pm ๐Ÿ’ผ Coffee Shop; Food & Beverage         Every coffee lovers simply doesn't expect a good coffee, but they look forward to the consistency of both taste & service every time they are served. And when a coffee shop is being able to put up to that consistency, then obviously the customer tends to get stuck. The term "Coffee Craze" has been a newly evolved trend in a city like Imphal. And its been only around a year or two, that I myself have been running after this intoxicating brew. And as far as my journey on coffee is concerned, Mara Cafe, unobjectionably plays a big part. The Location          The most convenient factor for anyone to visit Mara is its location  at a walking distance from Khwairamban Bazaar, which is usually considered as the heart of the city. And maybe its a...

Eventually, I got the opportunity to visit this restaurant that I've been hearing about for quite a long time, for the first time. And I couldn't miss the opportunity to write a review about it. I did had a heavy late lunch and my appetite wasn't much good enough. But I am  a foodie, and if I have entered there, I have to take something. And I have to write about how I felt. Restaurant Atmosphere       The first impression for any restaurant or coffee shop towards a guest is its interior atmosphere. Hot Pot Family Restaurant has a very spacious dining area with a total of 34 covers at the main interior and another 8 covers at the enchanting back lawn. The two Asian style low table setup is a highlight. Although I wished the setup includes cushions for sitting.  ...
