Oh Honey!!

For folks in Mumbai, the newly opened metro is the buzz word! Everyone wanted to get a ride on metro and on one such impulse for the metro expense, I decided to take a ride from Ghatkopar to Versova. After the wonderful ride, landing up in Versova, bought about a few hunger pangs and I started looking about for a food outlet.

There were a host of them but most seemed part of famous franchises,and then there was this small cafe called Honey Hut cafe nestled between few stores with a pretty name plate. 





It caught my eye and I decided to give it a try and believe me it was start of a very surprising snack up! 
The place is quite small, but it doesn't hamper the ambience, infact it adds up to the cosy cafe feeling. The lighting and interiors are tastefully done. The seats are not very close hence you get privacy. There's no music being played(at least when I visited) so it is a peaceful place to meet up. 
The menu boasts of healthy snacks and you can see that in their options of teas including green ginger tea which is the house speciality, The staff is very friendly and suggested a few combo offers which club beverages with snacks and you can save up some money, I ordered one of the combos that included honey masala idli + hot coffee and cheese grilled sandwich separately ,  the order came promptly and the food tray looked absolutely relishing! A obvious surprise was that they served a honey in a small jar and we had to replace honey instead of sugar in the coffee,It sounded like a unique combination and it tastes heavenly. And plus remember it is healthy than adding two spoons of refined sugar.


Next is honey masala idli which I'm sure is the first time anyone will have it, it is just too good masala idlis dipped in healthy veggies light gravy seasoned with peanuts which adds a crunchy touch,  the cheese grilled sandwich is served with a special mayonnaise serving, such was lovely with the fact it didn't have too much of cheese or veggies but a simple tasty healthy sandwich.

On asking the staff, they informed this cafe is part of franchise which is located in about 8 hill stations and tourist towns around India. That explains the exotic herbal teas and unique menu :) there was a collection of cakes as well, overall the bill came upto 250 and no added tax, which we love! They include the tax in the prices displayed in the menu, so it fits your pocket completely! The experience was so good that I am raring for the next visit already ;-)
