Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

12 & 13, Kamdhenu Shopping Complex, Lokhandwala Complex, Lokhandwala, Andheri (W), Mumbai

America ab india mein

Contributed a lot to their gross, when had relatives over from the US; who claimed that they have never seen thin crust pizza, so practically all combo’s were tried out.

Service friendly & consistently good. Offers always informed, delivered on time & yes, a couple of time some freebie thrown in.

Way to go guys.

Banana Leaf

Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

Subham Chs, Near Four Bungalows Market, Versova, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Keep the bananas

Tried it out within a couple of days of opening, found the sambhar, chutney, service, cowfee….excellent.

Took my dad for his birthday last month & the Banana had started dropping, the rasam was ok; uttapam, bonda could have been better, Sambhar for apna gujarati log…..chatni watery & finally Cowfee was WHITE!!!

Ok replacement was given on the house, but think Suraj (mahesh lunch home) could do much better

Grissini

Shop No. 8, Om Apts, Sundervan Complex, Off SAB Lane, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Paaji Italiano

Reading the great reviews, had been meaning to check this place out…..Was on pick up duty for my daughter from her dance class & convinced her that this was the IN place etc. etc.

We were the only people there, but as my daughter says’ place, layout, bicycle on the wall rocks’

She asked for Caipirojca - from the young lad - with a dhoni type pigtail - and was mightily impressed that he pronounced it correctly, gave her the ingredients & served it chilled…had mint & was worth the couple of sips I managed to steal.

Suffering from cold & fever, I opted for chicken manchow soup. Came piping hot……the first spoonful…..ecstasy….hot, tasty with chicken in every spoon….blew the cold & sinus wide open.

Followed this up with bruschetta - completely differently than other places, cheese seemed to be missing but had a unique flavour of its own. And the quantity was large - think 8 pcs, so acted like an Ender than a starter.

But had already ordered the standard try out - Margherita Pizza - A large size again, enough for 1 person’s full meal. Extremely biscuity thin crust, with just the right amount of cheese, made me think of the one I had at the Taj President years ago….

Too stuffed to do anything else except leave, looked at the sweets lustfully on the way out.

The service was extremely friendly, a tad slow, but then we were in a hurry & the Sardarji smiling away the compliments & asking us to visit again….which we shall do…..since it Rocks!

J. Hearsche & Co. in Bandra

Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

90/A, Classic Corner Building, Near Holy Family Hospital, Next to Mocha Mojo, Hill Road, Bandra (W),

Super VFM

Have been a regular for years together. Everything is great including the friendly service. The veg & chicken rolls, burgers contain stuffing that would put Mcdonald & co to shame. The lolypops, spring roll are good if they are made just before you reach. And the mutton samosa’s are a must try……

Masala Mantar

1st Floor, Mohid Heights, Lokhandwala Road, 4 Bungalows, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Ordered In

Have yet to visit the place, but ordered in a couple of weeks back. The butter chicken, aloo masala were great with very little oil as instructed. And the roti’s just right.

Wonder what awaits us on our visit there.

Shreejee’s Veg Wonders

Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

24, MHADA Commercial Complex, Opposite Tarapore Gardens, Oshiwara, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Gujju Shetty

Started small, expanded, caters to almost entire oshiwara belt. His south indian has a tinge of gujju sweetness but chana masala, paneer masala & other punjabi stuff is great.

Delivers piping hot & always friend anna’s around…even with the owner a gujju.

Remember you can never run a restaurant without a manager or waiter who is a shetty, malyalee because manpower supply becomes a problem.

Dream Plaza, C-18/21 Dalia Estate, off New Link Road, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Sports!

Good place, been there twice, once with the boys & another for a friend’s son 18th birthday party.

Good friendly service, excellent finger food, though the dinner menu could have been much better.

Ambiance is pretty good & the place pumps up the blood when there is sports on the screen….

Pizza Hut

Greenville Apartments, Swami Samarth Nagar, Lokhandwala, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Hut nahi hai

Ringo garlic has my mother swooning away….It is no longer dominos or garcia’s for the past couple of months….

Other than that nothing really different. Have had a couple of service glitches, though they have been polite about it. But it is as good as another.

Time and Again in Lokhandwala

Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

9, Raheja Classique, Oshiwara Link Road, Oshiwara, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Again & Again

Had taken off with a bang, but is now on a whimper. The paneer dishes are good, but the prices are not. Due to the location, parking availability does well, but their banquets do much better. However there are lot more options like myst; salt & pepper etc. that are much better
