I went to this place and after passing thru 3 restaurants i arrived here finally and it said No Children Please.I knew that they would put up something or the other to prevent kids below 17 who these days think they are mature enough to enter a place filled with good ambience,good food and drinks.After entering we immediately got the table and thanks to me that i had already reserved one and that on sunday.After having a look the ambience was unbelievable and the artificial house made up and white bamboo all over the place would definately put you on a thought that you were sittting and relaxing somewhere on a beach.And crowd was 100% teens,teens and only teens.Having a cosmopolitan crowd was not bad afterall.After we sat on a table a guy(waiter) in a miami style shirt and pants came and gave a sheesha and food menu.Although sheesha menu was a regular paper printout i was shocked when i saw the food menu and it had wine and other drinks menu included.It was as big as a poster.Although very limited starters the food ranges is very nominal as far as the place is considered for teens.Very cheap food and nice quality.I had tried BBQ Potatoes and Kiwi Ice-Tea.And had a be-energetic sheesha.No regrets about sheesha,but they should use normal coal instead of magic coal.But overall it was a excellent experience.Ambience i would give 4.5/5
Food 5/5
Drinks 4/5
Sheesha 3.5/5
Over All 4.5/5

I am a little picky when it comes to being overly generous with rating a joint. This place was quite nice. It was late one night I ended up there with a bunch of friends. It was in the middle of the Mumbai "winter". The breeze was extremely comfortable, the booze nice. The hookah's didn't necessarily develop the right head of smoke as one expects, but then again noone there was all that good with the hookah puffing... The chicken wings, or spicy chicken wings were mind blowing, great if your sitting with friends and drinking and want a feel of spicy-ness on your palate. I would definately come here again, 'cept that while I stay in Andheri, there just aren't that many occasions that I come down to this part of the city. I would recommend it to anyone who ends up at the R-Mall in Mulund, and wants to chill someplace different from your regular Pop Tate's.... Not too expensive either. I do agree with all the other dudes who complained about the seating, I too did not find it all that comfortable. Its the kind of place that builds an ambience of relaxation and general sleepiness, and the problem is that the seats are so uncomfortable, that it actually distracts from the overall experience.... Still I hope they do open one up somewhere closer to where I stay, it'd be a great alternative to the usual places that I go to hang.

This is a Nice place for people who want to get away from the usual hustle bustle of food joints, which is not far away , just step outside Timbuctoo's gates and you have Pop Tates and Urban tadka ..Lol.
Timbuctoo is good to the extent ot ambience and food is also reasonably good but the one thing it lacks is comfortable seating !! The concept of wooden benches might be nice but not comfortable enougH. Other than this detail, i wouldn't mind coming to this joint again.

This place is one of the nicest 'get-aways' (if you can call it one) in mulund. Nestled in a corner or the terrace balcony of R-mall, mulund (an otherwise overly crowded, noisy place), once you step into their premises.. you literally leave the world behind! You don't need to go to goa to get sand in your feet :)
Great ambience! Good rates, great lighting, good music, and then there's Yayati (a.k.a. McLaren), the Manager, who ensures everyone there feels special. Don't miss out the blind fish in their aquarium (it's got no eyes). And for those who get too 'shushegath' at timbucktoo.. just step outside to Pop-Tates and get alive!!
