I live in malad which is pretty far from nariman point and so I hardly visit the famous restaurants in south bombay - the hassle of getting there is not compensated by the food (mostly because most of the famous eateries have their branches in the suburbs and because a difference between a more accesible hawaiian shack and a realy far-off Cafe Mondegar is not much)
But this is one place for which we make an exception - we actually look forward to this place for our sunday lunches. That is because I havent found another place offering a similar soup/salad/sandwich buffet :) !! And the salads are just great (though I wouldnt always agree with the classification of their salads :D - herb rice salad was actually just herb rice and similarly the noodle salad was just noodles :)
But nitpicking aside, the range of salads is wide and I would say all of them were pretty yummy - I loved the chicken and the egg salad as well the okra and the mushrooms. Mention must be made of the hummus and pita bread (I am a little partial to it :) which are served alongside the bread basket and the soups. The dessert menu however, seem to have shrunk from before.
Give it a shot for your sunday morning brunch and you would love it - its worth the travel :)
