Rare 5 Star Rating
I can only say that you need to go to this place if you haven't.
It isn't cheap obviously, but what you pay for is far inferior to the quality of the service, and the food.
There isn't one thing that I can insist you try, instead I would suggest that you visit this place regularly, budget allowing, and slowly go through everything they have on their menu.
I would be very surprised if you come out disliking anything.
I simply love this place!

Not worth the price!
Found the place with no trouble last Sunday. Weird location though.
The outdoor section gets a lot of natural light and is well laid out whereas the indoor section is like any other restaurant.
Brief and quick review of our order:
1. Indigo Mary - Bloody Mary with tamarind - Interesting though I would only recommend it for Bloody Mary lovers.
2. Orange Ice Tea - Avoid at all costs, tastes and looks more like some black currant concoction.
3. Garlic Bread - Standard
4. Mushroom Ragout Sandwich - Not worth the 350+ they are charging for this. Also they need to pick up a basic lesson from Subway and not cut the bread right through which makes eating their sandwiches amazingly messy.
5. Pizza with Mozzarella & Pesto topping - I know we all like thin crust but this takes thin to a new undesirable level. Its like some sort of papad with pesto and mozarella slapped on! Not worth the close to 400 bucks they are charing for this at all!
6. Chocolate Mud Pie - Decent but nowhere as good as several other places.
All in all I would rate this a 2 stars out of 5. If you live around Bandra, its a much wiser decision to go to a Basilico or even a Pot Pourri instead which offer better food, better presentation and much better prices. Indigo needs to move beyond the hype and name and start serving food to match their prices if they want people to come back for seconds.

Great Food
Very nice food, great service and fantastic ambience. The pastas and pizzas were fantastic and the desserts were terrific!

Finally!
Being a huge Indigo Deli fan, I was very excited that it had opened up in Andheri too. It is a big deal for this oh so South Mumbai institution to make the trudge to the burbs. And I can only say thank you!
The food is pretty similar (same?) to Indigo Deli so it goes without saying how excellent it is. I tried the Eggs Florentine for the first time and found them light and full of flavour. The side of mushrooms had a yummy herbed taste that had literally been absorbed by them. My friends were raving about the ham & cheese quiche while I dug into a very fresh and crisp asparagus, arugula and artichole salad. We all tried the Green Apple twist, a breezy drink made with green apple vodka (I dont recollect this being at Indigo Deli so it might be new). I was disappointed at them being out of my all time fave Dulce de leche ice cream but the Tiramisu and Chcocolate souffle (piping hot and bursting with liquid chocolate) more than made up.
All in all I would say the food experience equalled that of Indigo Deli.However I didn't think the decor quite matched up. The ceilings were a bit low compared to its high ceilinged South Bby cousin, and I can't quite put my finger on why the vibe was somehow more restaurant then uber-casual cafe. But I guess if I stop making the inevitable comparisons, this is amongst the most welcome additions to the Andheri cityscape!

Surely worth the pain
When I entered the place last Sunday, I was in a very foul mood. I had a very difficult time in locating the place and the person giving directions over the phone did not help the matter either. I reached there after wandering around for good 20 minutes in all the possible bylanes off the link road!
The valet was courteous (as was the doorman). It is a nice and cute little place with separate smoking and non smoking areas. The hostess was very pleasant mannered, who apologised instantly for the direction goof up and guided us to our booked table in the non smoking area. I started feeling a little better.
The menu was quite big with a some daily specials too. A tall server convinced us to order 2 pomegranate martinis, one margarita and one sangria on our table along with some food like chicken tikka (something exotic, not a typical red coloured one), pork sausages and chicken wings. The drinks were served in less than 5 minutes and oh boy, they were so bloody good. The girls loved the martini and my friend loved the Margarita... and my sangria was good enough to completely change my mood for better. I think the other restobars like firangi pani, TGIF, red box need to learn a thing or two about making cocktails from these guys. The starters came after this. Tikka was superb, as was the chicken wing in its own way but i did not care much for the pork sausages. They were ok. The tall server for re-order but by now were in an adventorous mood and wanted different cocktails and food. He obliged with Kiwi Margarita for the ladies, some green apple drink for my friend and a indigo mary (bloody mary) for me...everything was just too fantastic to comment. we had bobmay duck (excellent), fried calamari (okkkk) with a repeat of chicken tikka.
Spirits were high by now, we were high on spirits too and the place was buzzing by now and the fun with food began. We ordered two pizzas (one chicken and another meat one...dont remember the name) and a ceasar salad. I can describe them in either 1 word or 4 words...'mind-blowing' or 'out of the world'! We were extremely stuffed by now but still ordered a sandwich (multi-cheese) and a pasta with charred tomato. Pasta was absolutely perfect and tasty while one of the girls commented that the sandwich had too much of cheese (dunno what else was she expecting from a multi-cheese sandwich!!). We were too full for desserts (with another round of drink thrown in between) but the tall server reappeared again and convinced us for a mudpie. It was absolutely divine.
Service - It was nice, efficient and friendly though it was a little slow at times ( starters did not come together). It was definitely not a put-off or very noticeable though. The tall guy really knew his stuff well.
Damages - I did not pay the bill but the average food price is between rs 250-350 with a healthy portion size. drinks are also in the same price range.
How to reach there - 1st lesson. dont call them and ask for directions, they will confuse you with stupid landmarks. The hostess/operator is not from this side of the town for sure.
If you are coming from Juhu on link road, take the lane after Sri Adhikari bros (Kalinga Restaurant lane) and drive to the end. This is the road parallel to Cottonworld, Jafferbhai etc. This restaurant was earlier called Vanilla.
The place with its food, drinks and service more than adequately made up for the pains i took in reaching there. You will find me there very often now.
