pRINCESS CUT
What: Love From India, call 32959819, shop No. 7, Chinoy Mansion, 162 Warden Road, next to Creo, starts at Rs 1,600 for a tunic.
Why: With two floors dedicated to cotton kurtas of many different shapes, sizes and prints, this new store will make our mums very happy. We liked a green and white paisley kurta that can double up as a fun brunch dress, a papery white chikan top and yummy retro polka dotted shirt. Best worn with big, fat diamonds. Mad(u) or what?

Why: Nidhi Behl, home chef and food science Ph.D student, may describe her menu as no-frill but that doesn’t mean it isn’t exotic. From a selection of chai crème brulee tarts, savory éclairs, onion marmalade and more, we ordered creamy mac and cheese with a biscuit crust that tasted suspiciously of Monaco biscuits, refreshingly different cheddar and chive cupcakes and sticky lemon pull-aparts.
When: You want a new Tout fairy.
