Finding a decent place to eat on a Sunday night has become a task these days. All I would expect is decent food, kind staff, and a setting one could breathe in. While I have experienced a lot of disappointments, this takes the top spot - Spice & Flavours @ Walkeshwar.
We managed to get a table for 8 on the open air section of this restaurant situated right at the corner/end of chowpatty. Due to the monsoon, the area was covered up and it was quite hot with a lot of hukkas around. When requested, the manager couldn’t turn the fan on, as there seem to be one common switch for all fans and a manjority of the tables had hukkas on and didn’t prefer the fan! Craziest thing I had heard.
Moving on, I ordered for a tomato soup - 1 by 2. The waiter brings along 2 bowls which were less than 1/4th full to which he replied that this is their standard quantity. I believed him and moved on. A few mins later, the waiter brings along another 1 by 2 soup for a friend of mine which had almost double the quantity! And when asked he quickly rushes into the kitchen and gets me a 'complimentary' soup as he realized it was their mistake and to add the waiter was laughing away when he should have been apologetic. The garlic bread served was awful. I was quite put off but still ordered the main course - black dal and roomali roti. The roomali roti was excellent but the black dal was horrible. Very bland and was one the worst I had eaten. To end it all, the waiter was arguing with another table on them ordering a drink which was canceled upon. Highly untrained and unmanaged staff.
Needless to say, I would never visit this place again and would rate the staff + service to be the poorest.

the sittin area for hukka on the terrace is too good as it falls right oppposite to chowpatty its breezy n calm
food is awesome except for sunday evenins
overall experience is good but thr r shortfalls too
its too conjusted for privacy n comfort
the 4 ppl limited per hukka rule makes it more frustatin
n the staff is not at all polite to ne1 not even to chicks
