The perfect place to quickly leave work by 6.30 & chill till around 9 when the music & crowd gets louder:) Excellent drinks, food & ambiance... been a regular at andheri west & malad for quite some time & should continue to do so.

I've visited Pop Tate's a number of times since it opened in Malad. It has consistently good food, though the service and ambience are just about average.
They make a mean Thai red curry, which comes with an accompaniment of fragrant rice (Thai jasmine rice?? Probably, but whichever it is, it's nice and fluffy, each grain separate from the other) and fresh quarters of juicy tomatoes. The best part is that they give you an additional bowl of curry, over and above the pre-plated serving for one! This is really good value for money.
They also have an excellent choice of sizzlers.
Desserts are not their strong point though, and neither is the ambience. The outdoor seating is way too cramped as management has tried to squeeze as many tables as possible into a limited space. Smokers rejoice! Surprisingly, in this day and age where smoking in public places is slowly going out of fashion, there is no non-smoking section either indoors or outside; in fact the AC section can get positively hazy and quite uncomfortable for non-smokers.
Service is okayish, some days being better than others. We've once had to send back our bill a couple of times before we got the correct one at last, though in all fairness, I must mention this was ages ago.
Waiting to get a table on weekends can be painful, especially if you are in a group, or have a particular preference (AC/non-AC). However, don't let this deter you, go a bit earlier in the evening and enjoy a great meal.
All in all, good food, decent portions, reasonable prices.
Keep burrping!

A Must Visit for every true Mumbaiya.....
The pub is open till 1.30 am! The Cocktails are great and the variety of brands ( alcoholic) available is good .....
Service is great, good music and the live music rocks!
Sizzlers are excellent ! Chicken Indiana Jones must eat !
Sizzling Brownie - Must Eat!
However, POP Tates at Powai, Saki Naka and Mulund are pretty boring ,,,,, chicken served at Saki naka was stale! ( I didnt dare to visit twice)

If you like Thai Curry & rice, this is the place to eat. The Chicken Thai Curry and Burmese Khowsey is to die for.
Be prepared to wait for 30 to 45 minutes on a weekend and you'll be lucky if you get a seat right away on any weekday evening. Don't sit in the a/c section if smoke bothers you.
Service is ok with the food and drinks having good VFM.

I have lost count of the number of times I have hung out here with my friends - and enjoyed myself each time. This place has a great ambience, nice music, an Archie's themed menu and good food. A very apt tagline - the Unrestaurant
The crowd is full of young professionals - strictly in the 20s. I am sometimes surprised why this place doesnt attract the college going crowd - but on second thoughts, its pretty good the way it is.
The attraction of Pop tates is its attitude - completely chilled out. With the trademark beer 'towers' on quite a few tables at given time, you can make out by the voices that most of the tables are having fun. The service is pretty ok and on weekend nights, there is atleast half an hour of waiting outside.
I havent checked out the Versova or Mulund outlets, but the Sakinaka outlet pales compared to the Malad version. Malad is just so much more livelier ...
