EDDIE'S BISTRO, MUMBAI

1 more down on my to-visit list. I like giving a little background information as to how I stumble across places. I believe it adds a little interest to the story. Ok, well not story, but you know what I mean. I don't know how true that is but here it goes. 

I was destined to visit this place today. Because I happen to stay in BKC, and this place is in Bandra west, which makes travel easier, yet me and my friend went all the way to goregaon, wasted 200 rs approx on a rick ( I had no energy for train travelling :P ) and once we landed there, the place that we were going to go had a waiting list of atleast an hour. Hence, somehow we thought lets go to bandra and waste another 200 rs on going back. I am a master at such acts of stupidity. To top it, we didn't know where exactly this is and so we called them up for directions and the manager ( I am guessing :P) had to actually come out of the restaurant because we couldn't locate the restaurant ( though we were standing on the opp side of it, did I mention I am totally blind and don't see things that are right in front of me? My eyesight is just perfect, thank you very much :P ). Let me tell you, it was also highly embarrassing when the guy brought us in, who else takes such extreme steps just for 1 restaurant? I do! :D

The question is, whether at the end of the day was all of it worth it. Because, if the place manages to impress you then the you rejoice in the experience or you end up cursing yourself for going to such lengths. The answer to the question is yes, It was indeed 100% worth it.

They have a wooden decor in placed, lends a very cosy atmosphere to the restaurant, happen to believe and honestly, have a little thing for. The kind of place, where you can kill time, make merry and kind of perfect to catch up on all the gossip when you are meeting a friend after a while. This place provided all of that and hence, was perfect for the occasion.

Let's talk about the food. I had no complaints at all with any of the items served. The bread basket ( small portion), itself was not exactly small and each bread was buttery soft and upto the mark even after 4-5 hrs ( Packed up and taken home, as we couldn't finish it off and my sister benefited from it). Then the risotto, I am not a big fan of risottos, but I couldn't keep my hands away from this one and was stealing it from my friend's plate quite often( :P). The mini lamb burger, which I have heard is a specialty here, is full of flavor and at the end you just feel like wish there was more of it, as they are pretty mini in size and portion. Though we didn't experiment too much with the mocktails, as the concoctions here were a little different from the ones I am used to. I do want to give it a try next time. 

I for one, came away happy and satisfied with the meal. Too full for desserts, but would want to give it a try next time as they looked yum!
