AROMA'S CAFE, MUMBAI
Yes, I have already written a review on this place before. But I felt like including this here, more so because it is located in Phoenix Market City and I happen to love this location more so than the one in Powai. Why? Because of its location. In the midst of a mall that is swarming with people in and around, this places offers calmness and serenity and you will not even realize the sea of people around you. I love how that factors in to the charm of this place. Actually, that is the charm of this particular place.
I should be apologizing for my long absence from the page. I don't know how many actually felt the difference but you know how writers say that even if there is once person out there who reads and likes what you write, the writer will feel it to be an accomplishment. Before I had taken up the task of writing on this page, that was the one factor that always discouraged me. Do I really want to make a fool of myself? But now it doesn't matter and that's how I know that its true. It doesn't matter how many people are actually reading this but even if one is, it is enough. For Now. :)
You come across this place just as you enter the Mall, just a few steps away probably and has all the High Fashion Labels surrounding it but on any normal day how this seems to be distracting and tempting, it does not so on this particular evening. Partly because there is so much catching up to do as it had been long since I had met this particular friend but more so because the location is as good as it gets on which I have already written so much. The first of its kind. If I am not wrong. If I am, then well, I will live it. :P It is designed like an outdoor cafe in midst of greenery. Only, the place is actually situated inside a mall and does not have actual greenery.
Since this was not dinner time and we were here to just make time. I didn't say kill because, we were here to spend time rather than kill it. :D So it was somewhere between light and heavy. Its another thing that I didn't really bother having any dinner after it. So we ordered a cold coffee and cranberry apple cooler. The cold coffee tasted like a cold coffee but it was the cranberry apple that got my attention. I had taken a risk by ordering it as you know I prefer to stick to my iced tea but I actually liked it. The sweetness of the apple flavor and the sourness of the cranberry mixed well and is delightfully refreshing. We ordered a classic margherita pizza with loads of cheese, creamy garlic mushroom and some BBQ paneer Burgers. The Pizza, thin crust and filled with cheese is just how I like it. Melt in the mouth and the crust just a little toasted, even though it was the wood fired kind. The Creamy Garlic Mushroom is a gravy of cheese, bechamel sauce (as informed to me by my friend) and mushrooms. If I probably added some bolied pasta and sauteed, it would become white cheese pasta. :P Not Complaining. Served with Focaccia bread, it is indeed a delightful combination. The Paneer BBQ Burgers served with a side of fries is light on the pocket as it comes from their combo meal options but does not take away from the flavor or quality in any way.
So for all you crazy shoppers (like me!) take a break and enjoy the charm of sitting idle in between a sea of people who seem to be on the go around you. You will not regret it!
