Cringing, craving, bingeing, braving... you always have an opinion on what's hot and what's not in your city and we just love to hear it. Besides, there's no better place to satiate that itch to bitch!
As a seafood lover, I was uber excited about the coast - and for good reason, exquisite ambience, divine food, a vast collection of wines, all at reasonable prices! Located right next to the Mumbai Times Cafe (on the 5th floor of Crystal Shoppers Paradise mall) in Bandra, the Coast captures everything good about the beach and offers it to you right here in Mumbai - the sand, the serenaders, and most importantly - the fish! We ordered the Chemmen Prawn Masala as a starter, and it did not dissapoint! For the main course we decided to get the coast fish curry, and this curry was so good that it ensure... read more
I think this was one of my worst buffets i ever been too. Though the food was quite tasty but when the crowd poured in we started getting raw to half cooked food.
It was so bad ...people were eating at the buffet counter and then some started waiting near the kitchen.
Kind of crowd was also quite disgusting ,...using fingers to pick food but for 299 + free beer what do you expect.
For a easter lunch buffet , it was really noise and crap.
Ambience - 3/5 ....very noisy...music was very very loud
Food - 2.5/5 ...good and limited spread but the uncook... read more
quite disappointed with the portions and service. On the whole the food was good and the booze was really over priced.
Ambience - 4/5
Service - 3/5
Food - 4/5
Price - 2/5 (very expensive) as compared to other malwani food restaurants.
One thing i did notice - the glasses being washed were more being rinsed (no soap ) and wiped for the next use. This is something you usually see on a roadside cart - This was the turning point.
Thats what it felt like on a late Sunday night on the rooftop of the Mall that houses Magnet Super Store off Linking Road in Bandra.
A hooded canopy obliterates the stars to an otherwise prime location in Bandra West. Could have been more interesting if it was indeed open to the skies. But we know the Mumbai rains all too well.
Mine was a sojourn on the day after Valentine's so it was relatively quieter and more sober ( I'm sure it must've been quite a different picture on the 14th of Feb 2009)
The staff is hesitant, un-sure and sloppy. The spoons were greasy and... read more
When we entered "the coast" the area was huge and classy. Nice beach feel, relaxed environment and the best part NO MUSIC!! I mean, i'm tired of music everywhere...its either rock or hip-hop or something unwanted most of the time, so it F***s yout trip. Anyways, the sand on the floor made me feel quite come-for-a-table. It was like chote chote bacche log Juhu beach pe mast mein reath mein castle banate hai and all...it was fun. So finally we ordered some daaru...as usual kuch to piyee... BEERS and LONG ISLAND's and all...blah blah...the food is served in a very different manner. They serve all... read more
So there is this relatively new place in Bandra (that in itself should keep it going for a few months) - its just down the road from KFC when you turn left there..... on the 5th floor of a Mall (next to Mumbai Times Cafe).
Now, this place has the ambience completely going for it - for a start its open air (nice at this time of the year and being on the 5th floor helps). Also, sand on the floor (remember 'coast'), neatly laid out tables and an open kitchen area - see, all good this far, but some withering palm trees kind of take away from it .....
