Cafe Zoe, Mumbai

Cafe Zoe, Lower Parel

 

A place that has been raved about by most of my friends and colleagues, yet I never made it till I absolutely had to. When there is somebody like you who doesn't mind going to places not in the vicinity for meals is a blessing and I happen to have at least one such like minded friend. The others, they want the good meal but not at the cost of seeking them out. So I finally made it to Cafe Zoe when my friend was back from her vacation. On a side note, I wish I could take month long vacations too. Kahan gaye woh din??!! 

Getting to here was a task though, the place is almost hidden between narrow lanes. Ironic as once you step it's completely spacious and you wouldn't really believe that it is placed in such a location. I almost felt like I am in Europe or some equally beautiful destination and not my much loved Bombay. As much as I love Bombay, we do stay in matchboxes fighting for space everywhere we go. This place on the other hand is humongous. Also, plenty of natural light seeping through. It has an upper and a ground level as well, and we took to the upstairs. I think if nothing else, the ambiance of this place is what is going to be pulling me back here. 

The service is very mechanical and there is no personalized touch to it as such. Why I say this is because I regretted ordering a certain dish and though the error was on our end, it would have been nice if they had educated us on it as is the case whenever there is some thing off beat or not much heard of on the menu. So you should either google what you are planning to order if it sounds very new to you or ask them for it. Moreover, it was just limited to placing your orders and the same being brought to you. I didn't spot much of a smile either.

The food, I  will start with what we shouldn't have ordered  - Tenderloin Carpaccio. It sounded and looked very fancy but I wish I hadn't ordered this. I for one don't have a stomach for meat that looks almost raw and tastes a little too. This was indeed like that (See the fanciest one from the photos). To top it looked almost like a  Salad and you know how much I love salads. Not! So over all, this wasn't my cup of tea and I wish I knew that before I had ordered it. I was expecting some juicy tenderloin patties or something and this was just some thing else entirely! Moreover, it didn't seem value for money to me if you see the serving size as well. We decided to play safe for our next order the mini lamb burgers it was! This was high on flavor. I enjoyed it every bit, the patties was one of the best I have had and the bread seemed equally fresh. Though I do wish the serving size again was a little better. This was 2 mini burgers further broken down into half. Not so fair. So it's 2 mini burgers only, priced at 350 + Taxes, kind of brings the mood down. Next we went for the mains. I went for the Chicken Ravioli and my girl decided to go for Tiger Prawns Risotto. Now this was worth every penny. Well, as much as it can be in a place like this. The ravioli stuffed chicken came with a cream sauce with thyme was comforting like having something hot on a rainy day. Coincidence as it was actually raining. I can safely say they weren't stingy and the ravioli pieces were big rather than what I have come across till now which has always been smaller in size. The quantity is good for one. For the risotto, they were out of Tiger Prawns but they more than made up for it with the portion size of the prawns. I automatically hold a place in high regard if they serve good portion size when it comes to this sea food delight. Most places, even when it's priced steeply some times don't and that just leaves you disappointed. Here, I was more than happy. The risotto in my friend's word is the best she has had in this city and that's something. I agree with her. It's light, not too heavy as such but doesn't compromise on flavor. 

I would proably want to come back here in special circumstance where I am absolutely okay to splurge. This place after all doesn't exactly come cheap but if you know to order right it's value for money. The ambiance is actually the key here.

Morselo, Mumbai

Morselo, Powai

Powai is considered to be one of the most posh location of the city, what with it being designed by seeking inspiration from Venice. Glamorous as it is, I some how don't always find myself very keen to pay visit here. I like Colaba for it'd old alleys and Bandra for it's shopping and night life, it's always buzzing with life. So is Andheri for that matter. Powai? A cross over between a Corporate Jungle and a Residential town doesn't have much to offer to some one like me. Maybe I find myself out of place here. And still, I find myself coming back here at least once in a month. 

Mostly, when I am in the vicinity, I drop by Theobroma, but this time I decided to skip it and I try something new. Morselo, is what caught my eye upon browsing through Zomato, seemed economical as well. 

It's a small joint and you might almost miss it since it's situated in Galleria's Food Court. But Thank God that it isn't actually situated in the Food Court. (Here is where the parallel dies between the likes of Italy, everything in the Food Court Area is unkempt and unhygienic, I would much rather go to a Dhaba than have food here). Morselo, however, is a smal outlet with it's own dining area and hence you can manage to have a meal here. Though, I would still recommend getting a take away as it's pretty tiny and can seat maybe 4 people. 

The service is quick and warm, as should be the case of fast food joints and you can see they are eager to please. The concept they have is of serving baked bread with fillings inside. You can make an entire meal out of it and they seem to have quite a few options from Indian to Continental. They have ranges from light to full meal and you can decide as per you appetite, what would you want to go for. We went for one Full Meal which comprises of Brownie, Potato Wedges, Chicken Nuggets (for lack of another name), a micro salad and the Baked Fill of your choice. The other one we ordered was the light meal which had hasselback potatoes, baked fill and a micro salad. The two also comes with a refreshing drink called the Lemon Twist. I had ordered the Chicken Florentine and my friend ordered the Exotic Italian Veg. The Chicken Florentine had a mix of spinach, corn and Chicken with creamy sauce. The Exotic Italian Veg had assorted veggies topped with cheese and had more tomato tangy type sauce. Even though both were equally good, I personally can't have too much of sauce, I like it being balanced with bread, but here since it was the filling, there was more filing than bread and it becomes a little too much for me. Hence, it is a good thing that I had other stuff to change taste in between. The wedges seemed a little dry in flavor and even though I prefer wedges always, this is one time I didn't find it up to the mark. The hasselback potatoes which came with the other meal was what I attacked. To anyone it would seem like these are just boiled and sprinkled with some spices on top. But in it's simplicity lied it's magic. I wish I could recreate them at home. The chicken nuggets were good too and the brownie was exactly how I like it, not over sweetened, topped with chocolate sprinkles (the kind that look like Hershey). 

If you are in the neighborhood or if you are simply looking for something different for your office lunch (After all Corporate Hub), then you should give this place a shot and give the Burger-Fries Combo a miss.

Villa Vandra, Mumbai

Villa Vandre, Pali Hill

Instead of trying new places, I have been on a refresher course of sorts, where in I am paying my visit to a lot of old ones. It serves as a refresher of why I first fell in love with these places! Villa Vandre is one of these magnificent places. Food for the soul is what I like to refer to it as. 

The best place for breakfast in my books is this place. This is probably my 4th visit to the place in the past year, and that is quite a lot considering I visit new places only most of the time (I need to be a little rational about the money I spend after all, unfortunately ) This time it was for a dinner with a dear friend after a really long time and I thought to myself, let us introduce him to the beauty that this little hidden gem is) 

A few months back they had renovated the place, expanding the guest seating area and their menu as well. Its Hurrah on both fronts. This is still a tiny little place which could possibly accommodate around 20 people at one time. So on a lot of occasions you will find yourself on the waiting list. Though I believe they don't take reservations, so it might be a long wait at times but it is oh-so-worth-it! This place is beautiful as beautiful can be, tres chic, the colors soothing on the eyes, their wall decor simple but tasteful, almost like how I envision my dining room to be some day. 

They don't really have appetizers/ starters on their menu, so you directly sort of dig into the main course which isn't half bad a thing as you will give your 100% love towards this and no half full stomachs. And no, salads don't count.  Its almost like jumping on the food and as they say the first bite is always the tastiest!  Also, leaves ample place for dessert! We ordered for the Chicken Roulade and Sri Lankan Buffalo Chilli. Let's start with the Chicken Roulade, I happened to quite like it but maybe the Buffalo Chili overshadowed it. Boneless chicken stuffed with spinach and pan fried served with noodles and exotic veggies. The plating itself makes your eyes pop out. One of the specialties of the place. The Srilankan Buffalo Chili however takes the crown home. I remember the taste after all this while. In simple words it feels like what you need on a rainy day, what makes the heart feel warm and gives you fuzzy feelings? Has any food ever given rise to such feelings? This is that kind of a meal. Reminded me why I am Villa Vandre fan. Also, the Pav served with it ? I am really interested to know the secret behind this gem. The softest and the most melt-in-the mouth variety of pav I have ever had. It beat even Brun Muska from Kyani, and this didn't even have maska, at least not any visible butter. Though it did feel buttery. Highly recommended to everyone who steps in here. Another thing that deserves a mention is, in all my previous visits, I had always complained about their concoctions from the drinks menu. The only thing that would heavily disappoint me. It is gratifying to know that they have worked on this and how!! IIt was a complete different picture this time. I was in love with the mocktail we ordered and it complimented our meal well. We had both chosen the Blueberry Lemonade, it has tinge and flavor of Kala Khatta and prepared in the form of slush with blueberries. This is something I enjoyed till the end of my meal. They looked beautiful as well and yes, cocktails and mock tails are meant to be easy on the eyes. Since we didn't have an option for appetizers, we had enough room for Dessert and we called in for the Gulab Jamun Tart & Dark Chocolate Mousse. The Dark Chocolate Mousse is really heavy and is recommended only, if you are a die hard chocolate fan. I am not which is why I preferred the Tart. This is actually a very innovative and commendable fusion of food. The Tart is filled with a rabdi kind of mousse. I don't even know if this was actually mousse because it was so soft and as if floating in the tart and  miniature gulab Jamuns in the middle. If I had room for one more and if we hadn't ordered the chocolate mousse, I would have ordered for another one of these.

Villa Vandre because they add that extra punch to your every day meals as well, making it a soulful affair.

What We Had - Chicken Roulade (Yumness Personified)

                         Srilankan Buffalo Chili (Heaven in a pan)

CAFE SUNDANCE, MUMBAI

Some places are more hype than anything else. This place is one such example. I wonder why I have to write about the place, if I have stated what I just did. But I gotta do. So that you, my dear friend can avoid the same circumstance.

This was one of the top contenders in my Wish List and now I wonder why. I would always pass by the place, as it is located right next to Eros Cinema in Churchgate but because the place is rather on the high end on the price list, I had kept putting it off and wanted it to be a special occasion or something of the like, when I did step in here. Special occasion it was, as it was a close friend's b'day and their treat. This place was not planned for the day though, but because the place that I had originally wanted to go to was House-Full and had a long waiting list, this was the place that sprang to mind.

After reading some rave reviews on the world wide web, I was almost excited to finally set foot in here. However, upon reaching here, all the internal excitement that had slowly started to built up? was punctured like a balloon is when someone puts a pin through it. "Phussss". Not only because the interiors have nothing special, its classy, but something felt amiss, like they could have done so much more with the place. It is situated in a prime location yet it felt bland. Or Probably their idea was to let the Fast Food and other in-between food meet Fine-Dine. But it didn't go right. I would have put that out of sight as well, if the servers were even a little bit warm and welcoming. Service being slow is one thing, but it was like they were hardly bothered and after calling upon several times, some one would show-up, so much so that in the end we went down and paid at the counter itself rather than at the table. The fault could partly also be that they had just 1 server on the upper Floor atleast and he seemed least interested. A proper training sessions is required and with that increase the strength of the servers. Like, I have said time and again there is probably nothing that my mom cannot whip up, so If I step outside, I am not saying treat me like a princess ( Though, I wouldn't mind :P) but atleast treat right. It is one of the Four P's or something of the Service Industry or something similar, remember it from my marketing lectures. Atleast I remember part of it. I hope my professors don't mind that I have already forgotten half of it. :P

The Food? Good. Really Good. I actually enjoyed it, have no complaints on the . I don't know if it is because it is a very classy fine-dine, but I like eating, goddamn it! Please increase the servings! I don't mind paying even if I was not on the particular day. I have never understood what is with Fancy restaurants and serving sizes. Its like they are inversely proportional, the more fancy they say they are, the less you find on your plate. Paying what we paid for that much didn't seem worth it especially since i still had room in my stomach, and I can't imagine my friend's condition as they have a bigger appetite than me. Probably something to do with being a guy, or not. 

We started off with starters which was Grilled Prawns, which has just 5 less than medium sized Prawns. I know Prawns comes expensive, but wherever else I have been to, the serving was not as small as it was here. The Prawns did taste good, and were cooked perfectly as per me. Even the sauce that came along with it was great. Just the quantity was on the disappointing end. Not feeling dejected, we ordered half a dozen sliders, where you can choose any 6 of your choice and is served with Potato Wedges. This was probably the only part of the meal, that I personally felt was not a total rip-off. Even though, sliders are supposedly tiny, this felt filling to an extent even though it was unexpected. The Potato Wedges that came along with it however could have been better. We had a beef, chicken and Mutton Variant each. Next we went for some Pasta - The Aglio Olio Pasta which is creamy and even though my friend was like he has had better. I was not totally disappointed. Though, I do think it could have been more creamier as it felt it to be a little dry. Again, the quantity was too less. I didn't have the courage to order more as 1) somebody else was paying the bill and 2) somewhere it didn't feel worth it. We had also ordered 2 mock-tails to wash down the meal, and this I guess was the only reason why I felt even a little bit full. I did like the fancy jar they served my drink in. 

Also, if you drop in here, and if you have a huge appetite, give a go to their -THE SUN DANCE SASQUATCH", apparently if you finish it, they will pay. I know this sounds rude, but with the sizes of their serving, my gut feeling says that it shouldn't be too difficult to finish it off. 

By all means visit the place, but stick to their Burger Menu. I wish I had! Also, only if you really feel generous enough to splurge without a second thought!

WHAT WE HAD - Grilled Prawns 

                         Half A Dozen Sliders ( BBQ Chicken, Spicy Lamb Mince, Tenderloin - YUM)

CAFE TERRA, MUMBAI

I know I go into short duration of hibernation once in a while, mostly during the beginning of the month. This is primarily due to the fact that this is the Salary Period. No, it does not mean, I am busy blowing my money off but rather calculating them. Well the rest of the world rejoices, I fear this phase and some times even tell myself I wouldn't mind if I were to get the salary in the next month. But of all it disappears the moment, the cell phone beeps and reads "Your A/c has been credited with Rs xxxx" . That magical moment. Even though, I know exactly how much I will be receiving in the month to the last decimal. Small Joys, indeed.

I have also been making a point to visit at least one place in the month from my "Wish List". This Time around, its Cafe Terra located in the lanes of Bandra. The only reason this place made it to my list was because of the roof-top restaurant it is and the lack of these in the city, or rather the lack of these that offers a decent ambiance along with not being that heavy on the pockets. Earning your own bread and butter does has a down side.

Oh, bdw, this was from a while ago, one of the Diwali nights. I should also tell you that you should not rely on the Google Maps, because Google Maps cheated me and put me off direction and on a longer route than if I had not followed Google Map's directions and just taken the normal route to Bandra, that I usually do. But then in other times, Google Maps does prove to be a blessing. It just shows that nothing can be 100% perfect.

Okay, getting down to business. This place should only be visited on a cool breezy evening. Otherwise, you really wouldn't feel the feel. Don't ask me what that means. :P You just gotta feel it! ^_^. Imagine a terrace restaurant, with hues of white and blue (The seating arrangement), Potted Plants in the corner which hold small cages ( no birds) decorated with lights, cool breeze running over you and fireworks in the distance (fireworks only due to Diwali). Do you feel it? If no, then God Help you! :P 

The menu here is not that extensive and nothing extraordinaire. It is a very simple and basic menu. But the purpose this place serves is not entirely for the food, but mainly for a laid back evening with friends or especially that special someone, so if that is the intention you come down here with, you shall not feel disappointed. Others, stay away! especially, since the servers here are also not all that friendly and from the looks of it, not all that interested in being there even. Since, I was in a good mood and especially in a mood to ignore such things, I did not mind. On any other day, I would have taken offence.

We started off with ordering 2 mock-tails, a soup and a starter. We wanted to keep the food light this time around as we were not too hungry on the day for some peculiar reason. The soup was an instant hit, as it was creamy and not like most soups I generally have. Probably because mostly I order Chinese soups, and this being Italian had a creamy and cheesy flavor to it. Served with two pieces of garlic french toast, this sets the mood for more yumminess to come your way. The chicken Quesadillas, we ordered next were not the best I have had but it definitely is flavorful and has a more Indian taste to it than mexican. If it was on purpose or not, I do not know, but I definitely enjoyed it. For the main course we ordered just 1 sizzler and not beyond that as we were of the thought that if we still had room we could always order more. Wise decision, as it was most certainly enough. The sizzlers are basic, but again doesn't lack flavor. I guess, some times its just a good companion, in a good set-up with some simple food that makes for a great time. 

Hop in here, if you are looking to spend some quality time with your special some one or for the girls out there, you will love bringing even your girl friends here. A glass of wine in one hand with the wind blowing through your hair, and Aayi shappat!, you will forget all your woes. If only for the night. :) 

WHAT WE HAD - Zuppa Di Pollo (Creamy Soup - Star of the Night)

                           Chicken Quasedillas ( Indianized version, but Yummness)

                           Sizzler (Chicken with Garlic Pepper Sauce - Again, basic but Yum)

AROMAS CAFE, MUMBAI

This place was again on my to visit list. Mainly because I have passed by it so many times, that I had developed a curiosity as to how would it be from the inside. Situated in Hiranandani, it is in the prime location where you will Find Dominoes, Haagen Daaz, Chilis etc. This is the first in the entire lane. I had assumed the place is a coffee shop which is why probably it took me so much time to visit the place as my agenda has always been food and not just coffee and the likes. But then I heard the place serves good varieties in its breakfast menu and that got me a little more interested. I am a huge fan of English Breakfast and others falling in the same category. That does not mean I don't like our desi breakfast items, its probably just that these items are not readily available where as our desi breakfast can be found in every nook and corner and point to be mentioned, there is nothing ever that is going to be quite like it. So Yenna Rascalla Min' it!! :P :P

Well, in the end, when I did actually land up here, it was not the breakfast menu that I had had. It was for lunch. Yet, I went on and on about breakfast, apologies for that. I was just trying to stress upon the fact that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. :P 

Even though it was a national holiday, I didn't actually much of a crowd and people buzzing in and out. But that's how it was. The place was brimming with people. Again because the whole place has a cafe look to it and in my experience cafes are places where things move very slow as the crowd that visits cafes are there to chill and let time stand. Atleast, me. :) However, I did like the buzz of the people around and the servers were very kind enough to not keep me waiting and quickly arranged for a place. I have to say that the servers here know a thing or two about chivalry. They were polite and actually create comfort, which in my experience is rare. It says a lot of the culture they have tried to develop within the restaurant. 

As already mentioned the place lends a cafe look to it with big couches at one side even and tables of all sizes and shapes. So you feel relaxed as well. Though they are small in nos and mostly Its chairs, but the cushioned ones. I actually have a thing for Sofa seats and if so many high profiled looking people were not around, I swear I could even put my feet up and sit cross legged. Yes, I am that person. :P

We started off with ordering the starters which I had already decided upon on the way itself by the method which is basically studying the menu card the previous night itself for hours on end which was Grand Nachos with Chicken Bolognaise. It was exactly how I had hoped it to be. The quantity is good too and probably could be shared by atleast 3. The chicken filling is an added bonus and probably why I would be re-ordering this one the next time around as well. To go with it we had ordered two drinks, Iced dark forest mocha, which is a bliss for chocolate lovers and tequila meadow which is basically two juices mixed up and is refreshing on a sunny day. For the main course we ordered a Penne Napolatena and a creamy mushroom risotto. You know I was actually expecting the quantities to be on the smaller side, and was almost about to order 1 more starters at least to make up for it, but to my astonishment the quantities are well pretty filling. I actually had to get a take away because I just was not able to finish it off and actually didn't have room for dessert. Okay, Lie. I had a movie to catch. There is always room for dessert! but unfortunately there was no time. 

So take a break from this sweltering October Heat and head to Aromas for a some cool refreshments or a full meal even. You will not feel disappointed! :)

WHAT WE HAD - Grand Nachos with Chicken Bolognaise (More is Less!!)

                           Penne Napolatena (Tangy, Yummy, Filling)

EAT AROUND THE CORNER, MUMBAI

The best part of shopping is walking from one store to the next with all the bright colors all around. It feels like there is so much color to life. Its therapy at its best. There is nothing that a good shopping session can-not cure. Why waste 1000s of bucks on therapy when you can do the same on clothes and what not. Especially since you get to keep them. And added advantage is all the calories you get to burn. So after burning all these calories, dessert toh banta hai. Its like a custom among girls, to visit a dessert/coffee shop after a good shopping round. Well, most girls. 
So after one such therapy a.k.a shopping session, we were looking for a good place to satiate the sweet cravings. Since this place was in the locality and again, also on my wishlist, we decided to step in here. But to step in here was a task, because we just couldn't find which corner was it located in. Now, that was our fault because it was actually just around the corner and would you believe that we almost took a rick for it. Since we couldn't locate it, we decided to take rick and as soon as we got one, there it was just on the opp side, a big board - EAT AROUND THE CORNER. These things can only happen with me. I suck at directions. and I am proud of it. :P

This place is BEAUTIFUL, I have been using that word a lot now a days but this place actually gives you that vibe. I loved the entrance, where there is a two sided door, white washed and the the walls all around blue. As you enter there is ample seating outside with a lot of space, They could probably accommodate a lot many people in this area, than they actually do. We decided to step inside, and the kitchen area/ billing counter/ display area is on the other side of the glass wall. Careful here, because you wouldn't realize there is actually a glass as a divider and you might just bump into it. No, fortunately, I didn't. I, almost did. So Points to cleanliness and hygiene. On the other side of this glass wall, is where he treasure lies. So much goodness displayed that you are bound to get confused. Which we did. There was so much and we wanted to have EVERYTHING. I think that is the thing with displaying food, especially if it is done as well as they have done here. It took us a good half and hr to decide from all the the different assortments. They have sandwiches, pizzas etc also on display but since we were looking for something sweet, we had foregone the section, as tempting as it was. Should leave something for next time as well.

The dessert section, what do I say. They have cheesecakes and fruit tarts and trifles, variety of breads, croissants and what not. Hence, it took us a good half n hr to decide what to have and in that too we had originally planned to have two dessert per person, but unfortunately we had already had a heavy lunch and the appetite didn't allow us to do so. So we Finally decided on a Mars Cheesecake, the classic Tiramisu, Chocolate Mousse and Double Chocolate Gateau. A fair warning to all. Do not try the cheesecake first, finish eating anything else and only then put your hands on the cheese cake. Why? Bcz I have had cheesecake from way too many places. And also just the name of cheesecake is enough to make me happy. But the one here is like MAGIC. One spoonful of cheesecake and you are not going to like anything else. like Seriously! That good. That everything else, however good, my hands were just reaching for this. So did my companions for the day. That doesn't mean you should not try anything else here. To do justice, everything was good to. In fact, was excellent. I even took a chocolate mousse home and had it the next day and enjoyed every last bite and was licking off the small container. But cheese cake? its foodgasm at its best. *sigh* I can feel the flavors lingering on my tongue even now. The Tiramisu as reported by my sister was excellent and she was caught red handed licking her fingers in broad daylight and double chocolate gateau is perfect for anybody who has a chocolate addiction.

Oh, also this place is celebrity frequented especially the ones seen on the small screen and I got a glimpse of two. Another one, I couldn't recognize but were also from the entertainment world as they couldn't stop talking about directors/ dialogues/dialogue delivery and the fairness/unfairness of it all. Which tells me no matter where you are working and in which field you will be complaining about somebody or the other.

Well, what do you do next? You head here for some Food Therapy. You will not regret.

WHAT WE HAD - Double Chocolate Gateau (Heaven's calling out to me)
                           Tiramisu ( Heaven)
