If 20 years ago someone had told me that will be running the most gorgeous chain of desserts in not just Hyderabad but also in Bombay, I would have told them he will retire at 40.
But yesterday when I went to in Colaba, I knew he has found what his soul really loves doing. Conçu is perfection. I first had the desserts in Hyderabad and I remember always carrying them home, always wishing we had those in Mumbai and here it is. I think the amount and I ate and drank yesterday should be illegal. Faraz picked our dishes for us, vegetarian and non-vegetarian that would put half the Bombay to shame. The cocktails were to die for, somehow in the many places I have drank cocktails in India, this would be my top 5. And the desserts, DO NOT GET ME STARTED. We had five desserts between us and not one felt less than or****ic.
And all the while I kept watching one of my oldest friends talk about food with the nuance and passion I have not often seen him display. There are stories in the food, the bread and every ingredient. And a gorgeous stars in his eyes when he talks about it all. He has always been the “chill” human, he is still chill but there is a spark when he talks about tasting or the food on the menu that he loves and honestly it makes me feel so happy. Also because I will see him more often in Bombay now and hopefully spend more time with him.
If you are someone who is looking for an evening of actually gastric debauchery in the best way possible. Please go to Conçu, they have opened just three days back and I promise you it’s going to be an experience.
How do I feel now?
Full, satiated and just the right amount of hungry for more. I also feel happy that a human I love has found where their heart lies.
I am going for breakfast next, so who is coming?
