How many people!
The place can be spotted easily at Pali Naka (Bandra W) and is quite well turned-out (except some noisy families who frequent the joint every evening). Split in three levels, the decor is aesthetically pleasing. It is not very Buddha Buddha Buddha but a visitor can feel the blend of sharp contemporary elements with the soft-toned oriental ones.
Wondering what the review title means? We need downright observance to understand the phrase which is commonly encountered in Chinese and Thai restaurants in Bombay.
Waitresses in most of these joints try their level best to look/act Chinese. I laugh my guts out when the girl at the welcome desk says 'How many people'? :-) In her typical adenoidal (nasal) accent.
Not convinced...Go there once and experience this!
The food is good if you don’t have a super authentic Chinese food lover residing in your body. The portion sizes are BIG as in BIG. If you are one of those individuals for whom (Big Portion Size) is (Value for Money) – You should be living in 5 Spice!
This time we had a roast chicken with spring onions, chilly sesame chicken, burnt lamb chilly and chilly oyster noodles and we liked all of that. The desserts are fun – Mission Impossible (a giant pastry) is sinful and my number one dessert. The beauty of this piece of dessert is - the number of people who reserve this dessert is more than the number of people who make table reservations. Believe it or not - it is an observed fact. Chocolate hide n seek and chocolate almond pastries are also delicious.
Don’t forget ‘How many people’ the next time you go there!
