A nice laid back kind of restaurant inside the Palm Spring Mall in Malad, Lemon Grass is great value for money and the food is also as good. I was expecting the usual food court like offerings but was pleasantly surprised with the menu. There are Korean, Thai, Mongolian and Burmese dishes in addition to the usual Chinese fare.

I started off with the lemon grass soup which was made just right and quite spicy. One of the most authentic tasting soups I've had in India by far. Highly recommend it!

For the main course, I ordered the Burmese Khouswey with flat noodles (you can also get it with rice noodles).  The heavy coconut curry base is very evident as is the milk and lemon grass. The noodles are mixed in the gravy and a side of bean sprouts, garlic and onions all lightly fried. A delectable explosion of spices, this was the first time I had tasted Burmese cuisine.

My friend ordered the Mongolian stir fry which was a dry preparation of flat noodles with a medley of stir-fried vegetables like onions, carrots, broccoli. Light on oil and big on taste, the two dishes complemented each other very ably and I was just disappointed that we could not savor the appetizers that seemed to be quite exciting.

There were quite a few interesting desserts on display and we settled for the chocolate mousse cake and the gooey chocolate cake, both excellent choices and a great way to round off the meal.

If you are in the Malad area, do try out this place with its varied cuisine that is easy on the pocket.
