Chill at Chilly n Herbs
4:26 PM Posted by ukmad
Belgaum is famous for eating places and has a range of cuisine to delight the taste buds. No doubt we still don’t have Italian, Mexican or similar cuisine in town but with time new hotels and young entrepreneurs come up with something unique the city hasn’t seen or tasted. Here is the newest arrival, Chilly n Herbs at Kolhapur Circle Belgaum. The name itself is very tempting and food must be tasty as well. Chilly n Herbs is the only restaurant in that area which has a terrace garden and a bar. They specialize in Indian, Kababs, fish Goan and Malvani style & lovely crab tandoori. The ambience is simple and elegant looking and the foodies of Belgaum who always want to taste new can visit here for a treat. The prices to me look on average similar to others in town. Hotel Address: Chilly n Herbs, Kholapur circle, PB road next to Adeshwar electronics Belgaum. Phone: 9986019152, 9738467255 People who go in to taste don’t forget to tell you heard about the hotel on AllAboutBelgaum.com. (I am not getting a commission)

The much hyped about hotel the VITS of Vithal Kamat group has said good bye to Belgaum. It was opened about 18 months earlier.

This is a very old Email or SMS circulating around, but it is worth it I guess.
All are requested to add to this. I know most of it would be Area centric.
Thanks Anand Nargundkar.
Alipaak it happens only in Belgaum
10:00 AM Posted by ukmad
Alipaak, a snack made with groundnuts, puffed rice accompanied with sugar cane juice.
Alipaak, can be got in two forms. One Groundnut base and another parched rice base. The groundnuts are cleaned and then salt, Black salt, coriander, graded coconut, green chilies, limejuice is added, and what we get is groundnut Alipaak.
The process for the parched rice Alipaak is also the same just replace the groundnuts. It can be had separately or mixed with puffed rice and a fresh juice of sugarcane adds more flavor to it. In other places I have seen something similar but Onion and other stuff is added here nothing else is added. To top the preparation and to give a bit of spice a Ladoo of besan mixed with asafetida, black salt to give that extra spicy kick.
According to my knowledge, Belgaum is the only place where we get this. It may be available elsewhere with some modifications. I know of two very special and nice places to get it.
First on my list is Sheetal Rasvanti Grih, on Congress Road near Axis bank. Started in 1984 or even earlier I guess this place is the best place for Alipaak and fresh sugar cane juice. If you have been in Belgaum, you must at least visit once here.
The second place to get Alipaak is the moving cart of Mr.Sant. He moves in and around the city. Ganpat Galli, Ramdev Galli, Khade Bazar etc. & he visits each road on a different day of the week.
So the next time you are here and still have not tasted Alipaak do visit them once for a lifetime experience.
