After a hearty meal at Grissini last night, on my walk back home I was musing about the local businesses scene in Mumbai city. Ten years back I would have to take a 10 minute ride to eat good food at a good restaurant. Now I have a choice to walk to any of the 15 options available to me within a 1/2 kilometer radius. :) :)
Grissini is a month old bakery cum Italian joint that's opened in the quaintest gully near my house. It's neatly designed with an open kitchen and lovely outdoor seating for about 30. The menu ranges from breads, cakes, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas and pasta. The pizza and pasta menu is limited but has something for everyone's palate.
I saw it on my way back from work a few days back and was tempted to buy some Banana and Walnut Cake (Rs. 55) and Brown Bread (Rs 25). The Banana cake is tasteful yet not too sweet (just the way I like it) and the bread was really delicious too - wholesome and grainy. The bread may seem a bit overpriced but both the loaf and slices are fairly big (perfect for home made sandwiches).
Last night, I was tempted to go back to try some Italian. We ordered a roasted tomato and basil soup (Rs. 50) to start with... it was the one best i have had in a long time with distinct tastes of roasted tomatoes, basil and crushed black pepper. We also had a chicken pizza (Rs. 125) and a veg arrabiata pasta (Rs. 95). The thin crust cheesy pizza was delicious, the pasta was slightly pungent but not bad at all. It was full of fresh veggies. I'd say delicious for the price I was paying for it (1/3 the price of a little italy pasta)
Would really recommend this local little eatery to everyone who lives or works nearby.
Oh almost forgot to mention - They don't accept credit cards. The only con so far.
