The restaurant is located in a large complex (the name eludes me) down the road from Eva Mall. It's a rooftop restaurant and this does wonders for the ambiance. They have indoor and outdoor seating but I strongly recommend the outdoors. The view was pretty, seating comfortable and weather fantastic. The middle of the table has a small depression which is filled with petals and candles. Pwetty!!

Having heard much about the generous portions and wanting to save room for dessert, we skipped starters and went to the main course. They gave us complimentary nachos which were OK but nothing I would recommend ordering. I ordered the Canneloni, Rads ordered the Triple Chicken (or something like that) and Tuhina ordered the Meditteranean Chicken. The Canneloni was awesome. Fairly generous portions and the vegetables were crisp, fresh with a distinctive flavour. It had enough cheese to make me happy but not so much that it killed the dish . I had bites of the other dishes and my gauche vegetarian taste buds preferred Rads's dish. Rads swears that all the chicken dishes here are great.

We were quite full at the end of this and decided to order Oreo Shakes instead of a big dessert. While the Oreo Shake was good, I think the ones at Bocca Grande or Mocha are way better. The Java Lava sounded sinful, but we skipped it in deference to our ever expanding waistlines :(. It cost us around 350-400 per person. The prices are a little steep but its worth it.

you knw when my friend said that 21 Fahrenheit, India's first ice lounge is an experience which is unique and is also the world's first ice lounge which serves hot food and snacks I did not believe it but then he gave me offer to visit there for lunch and we went there and i was completely shocked to seee what I saw there IT is MARVELLOUSSSS...I thought I came in mini kashmirrr.It is a mustvisit place yaar..21 Fahrenheit is -60 Celcius and it is freezing! Entry charges to 21 Fahrenheit is Rs 750 which goes into dry-cleaning the fur jackets, gloves and snow boots.It comprises a small place where the walls, seatings, curtains and even the glasses are made of ice. Clever lighting bouncing off the ice creates a magical effect.Try the Lava Chocolate, Vodka PanI Puri, Icy Blonde and Snapfrost at 21 Fahrenheit.21 Fahrenheit is a technological marvel and a must visit.I saw its website even which is www.21fahrenheit.in.You all must visit here!!!!!!!!

Great Punjab is a new restaurant on Baner Road, where Capsicum was earlier. As the name goes, they appear to specialize in Punjabi/North Indian food.

Had home-ordered paneer tikka, and veg. dum biryani. The tikka cost ~100, while biryani was ~120. The quantity was very less for both, and biryani was very oily. Tikka was very hot/spicy, with no taste. Not worth the price they charged for it. Avoid.

-Venue : Cafe Appetite
Bhagat Singh Colony
Andheri Link Road
Chakala
When : Sunday Dinner on 4th October,09

Decor : The location is good.If the owner removes the glass doors, it would remind you of eateries in Paris/ Italy. The decor is OK.Yelow coloured it walls is something I personally dislike. But, many restaurants keep it that way.The seating is comfortable, not too lavish. Just chairs and tables in sets of twos and fours.

Experience:
It was raining heavily. And, it being a Sunday ritual to go out for dinner I searched the internet for something new and closeby.Came across Cafe Appetite an Indo Italian Indo Chinese restaurant.So off we went.Its a small restaurant run by a husband and wife.He is a friendly Sardar guy lets call him Mr. Singh who goes personally to every customer and asks about the order, food, likes & dislikes etc. Takes an interest with what you order. And lets you know of his journey from the beginning.

We ordered a Tomato & Basil Soup priced at Rs 60/-

The aroma of the soup was something.The consistency was good ,not very watery. The basil leaves were quite fresh. It was also liked the family.

For starters we wanted something which the baby would like. As, she eats the main course very meagre.
The owner suggested Garlic Bread with Cheese again at Rs. 60/-

Yes, yum it was! The bread ,we were told, is baked by the restaurant themselves.It was a herb and garlic bread. The garlic was not too strong as is found at many places.So, was loved by the baby even.

The main course was farfalle in Alfredo pasta
It was a creamy pasta. The only negative was the oil. The olive oil used in the pasta for two was enough for a pasta for four.The owner explained that he needs to emulsify the pasta in the end.Anyways, the layers of taste which should come out were subdued because of the oil.
They have a variety of desi pastas too.But, I think no one can beat them at joints like Bombay Blues etc.

Next, We ordered a Triple Shezchuan Rice for the brother at home.

That too was good enough.Quite spicy as it should be.The quantity was enough for two.One can get good chinese at many places in Mumbai.It would be good when they serve it fiery hot.
Overall the food was good but for the excess oil in pasta.The shezuan was very generic in its taste.The sop and starters were excellent. And, it being recently opened you get a table without hassles even on a Sunday.
I would suggest the restaurant menu should have more of desi stuff. The owner promised me some good kebabs when i visit him next.
Hope, he has more options for vegeterians like me by then.
Price: Rs. 350/- for 2

Another Italian restaurant. The city is crowded with lots of them. They are located in the central / swank / upmarket UB City. But like any other restaurant inside the UB city their prices seem to be comparable to others.

They have the usual standard Italian menu that looked vaguely familiar.

What did we order

Drinks
- Belgian beer for me and a mocktail for my wife. This was the first time that my wife did not complain.. otherwise she normally cribs that she gets a sugary concoction

Starters
- Bruschetta : 3 pieces.. with tomato, mushrooms and veggies. The mushroom and the veggie ones very average

Pasta
- Flat pasta with sun dried tomato, olives. Very good and i wished the quantity was more

Pizza
- Rustica : Thin crust wood oven pizza (onion, spinach and olives). Amazing!!! I will leave it at this.

Cribs
- Seating is too close. I could see what the other table is upto.
- Service is a little inefficient. They got the starters without the drinks that came almost 10minutes late and it took them 15mins to give me some ice for my water despite asking repeatedly.

In all it costed us 1500 bucks. Will we go back? Definitely yes to try their other pizzas.

This is a online / telephone take away / home delivery only place. They are based out of Koramangala / HSR Layout / Frazer town and generally deliver across the city.

We decided to order about few days back for Dinner and we live within 5kms of this joint.

What did we order

Starters
Sesame Corn toast (i threw it away) and Vietnamese spring roll

Maincourse
Phad Thai (i make better ones) and some fried noodles (we had to throw away).

Largely the experience was bad because 1) It took them 90minutes to deliver 2) The food was cold and spring roll by then had turned into a soft roll.

In all not a good experience and it costed us 500bucks.

Describe the place. As long as you want. Include some food/drink tips, what not to miss, what to avoid, etc.

A rating based on one visit might be misleading - try and keep things fact-based. Remember, we are a hitchhiker's guide to eating and drinking.

Horrible is one of the adjectives you can think of.

They let you in against a cover charge of Rs300 which is adjusted against F&B.

The waiters don't know anything about the menu. The pizza served is a 6"X 4" (Have you heard of a shape like that for a pizza?)

The fried rice was the worst I have ever eaten.. made with God knows shat oil / lard..

The adjoining discotheque does not have sound-proof walls. So the jarring and pounding does bother you immensely.

Just avoid their loos if you are not the kind who can handle throwing-ups.

They have a pint sized menu and half of the items in it are "Not available" !!!

It is just a seedy joint where you see lots of young boys and girls boozing/puffing away to glory.

F&B : 1/10
Ambience : 5/10
Service: 3/10
Facilities : 2/10

Overall rating : 2.5/10

NEVER EVER GO TO THIS ONE. WASTE of TIME & MONEY.

Hi Foodies,
