Hum: Ek Bar trades tasting menus for dry ice, gold leaf and modern Indian dishes that wow
Article content Larger servings of curries here were all worth ordering again, ranging from the relatively mild Keralan cod moilee ($39) to the zingier Goan shrimp curry ($35) to the chili-forward but complex Northern Indian nihari lamb shank ($35) to my favourite, the dark, earthy and peppery oxtail curry ($34). Article content Can't go to an Indian restaurant without ordering butter chicken? Ek Bar's bells-and-whistles rendition ($29) might top your fave. Its white meat is atypically moist and definitely seasoned due to brining, while time in the tandoor adds a touch of smokiness to the chicken. The sauce is fresh, rich and full-on. Article content Designated 'chef Sarath's Hyderabadi biryani' on the menu, chicken biryani ($32) at Ek Bar is a carryover from Mohan's previous Ottawa restaurants, Vivaan and NH 44. Fans of the 35-year-old self-taught chef will be glad, as will fans of fluffy, delicious rice and vibrantly spiced chicken. Article content Article content Two desserts (each $18) by young pastry chef Diksha Verma made for strong finishes to our meals. Shahi tukda was almost tiramisu-like, with a rose- and cardamom syrup-soaked caramelized saffron brioche, vanilla-condensed milk crème and a pistachio crumble among its attractions. Entirely different, novel and beguiling was a plate of rose ice cream, powdered fennel seed sponge cake, and chocolate mousse flavoured by perfume-y betel leaf, with cherries, syrup and a white chocolate crumble to add some unifying sweetness. Article content Cocktails here, made by servers, were well-concocted, smooth and sophisticated. They, and beer, would be better picks than more perfunctory wine choices. Article content Article content Service was a little uneven. One server, while friendly and attentive, seemed a little undertrained, and our leftover biryani, which she'd packed, didn't make it back to us before we left. A different server did a better, more polished job. Article content Article content Ultimately, Ek Bar managed to erase my bias in favour of Kathā. I like them both a lot, but for their respective great dishes and aspirations. Article content Comparison aside, Ek Bar makes some excellent, distinguished food out of the gate and it has tremendous potential to be better still. Together, Bhagwani and Mohan could reach the culinary highs and prominence that Mohan couldn't on his own, and restaurant-lovers in Ottawa and beyond should take note.

Registered, but not yours: Supreme Court's latest real estate plot twist
At the centre of this verdict is a tale as old as Indian property disputes. (AI image) There's a certain comfort in paperwork. A registered sale deed, embossed with legalese and blessed by a sub-registrar in a half-lit office in Telangana, can make even the most skeptical buyer feel like they own the earth under their feet. Except, they don't. In a ruling that just turned the real estate gospel upside down, the Supreme Court clarified: registration is not ownership . You read that right. You could have the ink dry on your sale agreement, the registrar's stamp, and maybe even a housewarming party planned. But if that agreement wasn't backed by a valid title — tough luck. Possession without proper paperwork is just glorified squatting. At the centre of this verdict is a tale as old as Indian property disputes: a housing society sells land via an unregistered agreement in 1982. Fast forward to now, and the courts have finally delivered a verdict — and a message. Physical possession doesn't grant legal title unless it's backed by the right documents. Specifically, title deeds, mutation certificates, and a paper trail that could make Kafka wince. The implications? They're vast and unsettling. 1. For buyers: Your registered sale deed is no longer the final boss. You'll need to gather supporting cast members — from mutation certificates to property tax receipts — to prove your starring role as owner. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 2. For developers and agents: Prepare for more questions, more paperwork, and fewer shortcuts. The days of 'possession is nine-tenths of the law' are over. It's now more like 'possession + documentation + Supreme Court alignment = peace of mind.' 3. For fraudsters: Well, let's just say your party's over. This ruling could curb shady transactions and speculative handovers masquerading as ownership. But there's a catch: costs are likely to rise. Legal due diligence doesn't come cheap, and neither does the emotional toll of trying to prove you own what you thought you bought. Do the homework. Not just the math. So next time someone waves a registered deed in your face, smile politely — and ask for the mutation certificate. Moral of the story: If you're buying property in India, think of it like dating. The sale deed may be the first date. But to say 'I do' to ownership, you need the full family approval — tax receipts, mutation entries, and a trail of bureaucracy longer than NH44, [With inputs from ET] Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
