4/5 Everything On A Plate E. 6 years ago on Google
The
Leela
Mumbai
is
taking
its
patrons
on
a
culinary
journey
to
Spain
and
is
leaving
no
stone
unturned.
Celebrating
the
flavours
of
Spain,
The
Leela
has
collaborated
with
Chef
Sergio
Millet,
Executive
Chef
of
Mas
Rabell
restaurant
at
the
famous
Torres
vineyards
in
Spain.
To
add
to
the
treat,
The
House
of
Torres
is
pairing
with
the
menu
some
of
its
legendary
wines
(
Mas
La
Plana,
Ibericos
Rioja,
Gran
Coronas,
Grans
Muralles).
What
stuck
with
us
the
most
about
the
wines,
apart
from
the
gorgeous
flavours,
was
that
each
of
them
has
a
wonderful
story
to
tell
each
explained
to
us
passionately
by
Tushar.
We
had
the
pleasure
to
attend
one
of
their
Tapas
evenings
and
here
are
some
things
that
stood
out
:
Ajo
Blanco
We
were
quite
happy
to
see
this
popular
cold
soup
as
a
starter,
especially
served
as
shots!
Ajo
Blanco
is
typically
made
from
a
mix
of
bread,
almonds,
vinegar,
olive
oil,
salt,
water
and
garlic.
The
drink
is
very
smooth
&
is
quite
refreshing,
especially
in
the
summer.
Gambas
Pil
Pil
The
Gambas
(
Shrimp
)
Pil
Pil
(
Sauce
)
were
flying
off
the
stove
like
hot
cakes!
Almost
everyone
took
seconds
&
thirds.
Gambas
Pil
Pil
Prawn
tossed
in
a
sizzling
hot
sauce
of
garlic,
chilli
&
olive
oil.
Not
only
was
it
a
delight
to
watch
the
chef
toss
them
on
the
live
counter
but
it
was
also
plated
adorably
in
these
tiny
little
red
pots.
Pan
con
Tomate
with
Spicy
Tomato
Sauce
Many
say
this
dish
is
as
humble
as
tapas
can
get.
The
tiny,
bite-sized
pieces
of
Spanish
toast
are
a
delicious,
quick
snack
made
with
just
five
ingredients,
namely,
bread,
tomato,
olive
oil,
garlic,
and
salt.
Chicken
and
Mushroom
Paella
We
kind
of
missed
this
but
the
others
were
raving
about
this
dish!
These
were
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg,
you
must
visit
to
learn
more
about
the
other
delicacies
on
the
menu.
Desserts
For
the
most
part
of
the
evening,
we
were
hovering
around
the
dessert
counter
drooling
over
the
desserts
on
display.
Churros
We
loved
watching
the
churros
being
made
and
gulping
them
down
nice
and
warm.
To
add
to
the
delicious
brown
pastry,
we
had
chocolate
sauce,
strawberry
sauce
&
Ice
cream
made
in
the
Leela
Kitchen.
Crème
Catalana
The
dessert
draws
parallels
with
the
crème
brûlée,
the
difference
being
the
latter
doesn’t
contain
fine
cornflour.
The
custard
was
well
set
and
was
garnished
with
fresh
fruit,
we
quite
enjoyed
it.
Arroz
con
Leche
Presentation-wise,
this
stood
out
the
most
as
it
was
served
in
these
tiny
dessert
jars
with
a
dropper
full
of
syrup.
The
Arroz
(
Rice
)
con
Leche
(
Milk
)
is
basically
a
Mexican
rice
pudding
and
can
be
a
bit
bland.
Chef
Rachna
gave
it
a
little
extra
flavour
by
adding
in
some
fresh
fruits.
There
were
also
Alfajores,
Polvorones
Almond
Cookies,
Pretzel
Pops,
Macaroons,
Orange
Sponge
Cake
and
more!
Our
brief
visit
to
the
Leela
Mumbai
Tapas
Evening
was
definitely
not
enough
for
us.
We
will
be
visiting
again
soon.
