Of late i have been very unfortunate while dining out at restaurants that fall into a category of over rated + over hyped + overly priced. I am ok abiding with these aspects as long as the place provides you equivalent ambiance and food.
In continuation with my dismal dine out at Ruby Tuesday (I have ran out of good dining options in South Mumbai), I visited Flamboyante with a bunch of friends. We sat in the outdoor section which was draped in a wedding 'mandap' sorta decor. The place in itself has a very dull appeal to it. However, i would give brownie points for its music and the ample space between tables to make it private and less noisy.
Coming to the food - I have started getting wary about restaurants who under one roof - sell italian + chinese + mughalai..anyways - we orderd some peach iced teas, manchow soup and a couple of appetizers - cheese corn balls and veg crisys. While the iced teas were just ok, the manchow was very good. What disappointed me was the appetizers. The former was very bland the latter was drenched in oil sitting on the plate. Yuck! The pizzas we ordered werent that great either.
The damage for 4 with a couple of 9" pizzas and couple of appetizers + soup + with mocktails was 2800! That was a complete shocker as this place doesnt deserve this kinda pricing for the food that isnt that great and the ambiance that is strictly ok. Def not returning back to this place as the prices/ambiance are just not worth the buck.
