Cafe Mezzuna, Andheri(w)


Imagine folks, an all-day bar plus a restaurant filled with over enthusiastic shoppers discussing their purchases with loud music in the backdrop that becomes noisy and unpleasing after a point of time - well that's my description for this place.

 It is like eating at Food court with loud music- ignoring the charming décor of this place. I expected the service to be good but I was disappointed there as well. Waiters were inattentive.

It is an interesting Place with soothing setting with a prominent shade of green. The only thing that kept me there was its food. Certainly dishes were delicious and proved to be a saving grace.
The food is presented very well and looks delicious and amazing and I couldn't wait to lick the entire thing off.
















Out of all hot pan grilled mushrooms, chilli Garlic & lemon was amazing and perfect to start your meal with.  In mains, I loved their Crumb fried Chicken Stuffed with ham & Mediterranean vegetables with a small  portion of potatoes and champagne sauce. I think it was the European version of Chicken Corden Bleau. This wholesome stuffed chicken breast was relishing and quite filling.

Quite impressed with its competitive pricing and some of their ultra cool cocktails. In all I feel the place is a mismatch as it lands between clutter of shoppers, loud music and cafe feel.

PS -  The food is Delicious and worth Going back for. I feel that the waiters need to be more attentive so that you don't have to catch hold of them and they have to work on the Experience factor.

Perfect place for an ideal budgeted Meal while hanging around in that area. The box  (portion) size is generous and you get a wide choice to choose from a lot of vegetables, then bases and the sauces.


Loved their Udon Noodles and Egg Noodles as bases and the chef Special 'mixed sauce' - a brilliant concoction of Hunan, teriyaki, Schezwan and some more sauces (which are hard to recall) but surely the chef will help you with that.




Egg Noodles with Mixed Sauce

Overall, a friendly ambience and a great deal at the best of the price with a delicious offering.

PS - It's a small takeaway joint and there are only 2 tables to sit.There used to be 'Wok in the Box' at this place but now everything is same Except the name and Improved Quality & Taste.

Paneer Shawarma

This place is a little gem for Lebanese Food in Andheri and Yes, they have done equal justice to vegetarians as some of the vegetarians delicacies -the Zaatar, Batata Hara and paneer shawarma are just amazing and will make you go Yalla Yalla

Zaatar


 The chicken shawarma is the star and the Kebab meals and big chicken roll are great.  Nachos are done up well with a little twist and my All Time Favourite – Dajaj Hara never let me down.

The best part is they are quick on service and home deliveries and the kitchen looks clean and hygenic. it’s a small Joint so don’t expect a comfortable ambience.

Milkshake & Co. - Lokhandwala

Milkshake & Co is a quaint little place in Lokhandwala market (Andheri) and if you are a milkshake fan then  you can't resist to indulge in a creamy, smooth and chilled milkshake in this scorching heat !!!

This place is nothing like a cafe. The decor is simple and completely done with white -  giving it a touch of a classic American diner or giving it a void impression.

















Opted for Nutella Milkshake it was yummy and filling. The shake is served in a nice tall glass which is more than sufficient to fulfill my chocolate craving....


Nutella Milk Shake



The classics french Vanilla Milkshake was mind Blowing with a subtle and balanced taste.

I wish if they have miniatures so that I can taste more of its flavours at one time.











Now coming to waffles, they were not baked perfectly and taste was average. Bu the Belgian Dark Chocolate topping and the scoop of icecream was rich and sublime.


PS - The sitting is little uncomfortable....but will still bookmark this place under best milkshake category  !!

The iconic and Legandary Icecream Sandwiches In Mumbai

One of the legendary places in Churchgate area. Ice cream sandwich at K. Rustoms are feeding our souls since 1953 with its old world charm - making it one of the must visit iconic place in Mumbai. Of all, my all-time favourites are chocolate Nut, Walnut Crunch and Roasted Almond.

It belongs to the time when there were neither fancy ice cream parlors nor imported ice cream brands in Mumbai. It invented the concept of Ice cream to be sandwiched between pickwick type thin wafers.All flavours are worth trying and yes...ditch the cone or plastic cup and go for the sandwich version.  No place to sit except few chairs and its usually dwindling with patrons all the time.

Located just opposite to Hotel Ambassador, you can just take a walk from the marine drive or Churchgate Station to grab one of these delicious things that K.Rustom has to offer.
