Thought it was time to introduce apo to Indian cuisine. So we had a quick lunch here before watching a movie in Greenbelt 3.

Apo liked the Indian vibe here. She has set her mind on a chicken tikka dish, while I was craving for a roti with curry sauce.

The music was unmistakably Indian and there's a nook where a mat is neatly laid out for "poseurs".

Between the 2 of us, we had more than enough leftovers. Not that it wasn't good. It could have been shared by 3 pax, or maybe we just weren't hungry enough.

Seven pieces of chicken tikka for 2 people? We should have dragged another person!

Mary Grace in Serendra and in Greenbelt 2 are our fav places. We've long outgrown our ensaymada cravings but their salads and pasta dishes are still hits with the teens.

Servings are good-sized. My teens went for the usual carbonara and cinnamon tea. Another favorite is the salad with quezong puti or cottage cheese. (Sorry, no pics). Go check out Mary Grace in any of these 3 Makati Branches!

It's just across Ateneo Gate. Rightfully Loyola Heights, along Katipunan in Quezon City. From a humble bakeshop to a culinary school cum resto. This is Cravings Center now.

I like that you can choose your main meal and then just indulge in the soup and salad bar. Neatly laid out, the greens, toppings and dressings looked very inviting. I made a mental note of how I should serve an eat-all-you-can salad bar to get the teens eating veggies.

We skipped the heavier meal choices and instead went for simple pasta dishes. Nothing fancy. But we sure helped ourselves a 2nd time in the soup and salad bar after our pasta meal.

The place has good vibes. Great to chill and relax here. Long chats over espressos and lattés. A slice of cake too, if you like.
