Townie attitude in suburban Mumbai
I reached Aurus on a Saturday night at 10 PM (without a reservation). After a 5 minute low down on how full they were with no tables till 11.30 PM, the door monkey finally decided to let us in and wait at the bar.
I must say the decor is very impressive - mood lighting, art deco loungey furniture and spacious tables with super comfy chairs. I especially liked the huge mirror that runs across the bar. We ordered drinks (frickkin' expensive) and looked around, and lo and behold - at least 60% of the tables were occupied by ghost patrons that ate invisible food. Or maybe they were just empty.
In the hour that we spent at the bar, not a single dinner patron entered the place. And we decided not to eat at this suburban joint with a townie attitude.
On our way out, the door monkey again gave us some spiel about his "second seating" starting at 11.30 PM "and that's when the people start pouring in", he said. Yeah, you wish.
