Bad food, bad drinks and bad service!

Red Box looks very interesting, and the decor of the place is the main reason for it, I think. It can seem a bit gaudy and tacky to people who like pastels and lighter shades, but I think it's quite a daring theme, and works quite well.
That is, sadly, the cafe's ONLY plus point.
The food we ordered, I think it was called a Moroccon sizzler was overpriced, and there was nothing authentically Moroccon about it at all! The drinks too are quite bad, and overpriced. The music they play is a weird mix between trance, gym music and pop...I don't think it went well with the ambience at all. Also, it was very loud.
All in all, Bandra has many other places you can visit, unless you are fond of wasting money on bad food!

Red or Orange?

Noisy and more orange than red was my first impression.

This place has a good decor, however, the Bandra location is extremely noisy with loud obnoxious music and awkward seating.

I tried the Pizza and Pasta Salad, Pasta was overcooked.....hello Indian ppl cooking pasta: try to remember that a la dente is the right way to cook pasta... and fusilli pasta has a spiral shape for a reason, it shouldnt look like spaghetti after its cooked.

The Pizza was hilarious, the crust was chewy and hard and while I was attempting to eat it with a knife and fork, unfortunately it didnt work out and I had to use my hands to tug on it like a dog.

The only good part was the beer, it was cold! lol

A bad RED experience

RedBox Cafe.. Sucks... !!!!!

First thing that you experience when you enter in it is the warm welcome but i am sorry to say that it was the last good thing about the place.

I didnt like the bright red colour which is everywhere you see.. kinda unpleasant.. and gaudy ..
the second thing was the loud music.. there was a speaker right on top of my head.. playin some .. horribly unpleasant stuff.. So the normal talk was like shoutin ..like "CAN YOU PASS THE PEPPER" and made any decent converstion impossible..
to worsen it .. we found a hair in the salad.
and then .. the waiters.. we kinda playing holi .. and kept spilling drinks on each other.. which took a lil more time for .. my blue lagoon to land up on my table.
Then it was time for my morrocan sizzler which had nothin morrocan abt it.. so all in all .. if was want to go to a Nosiy RED place .. to waste your money go to RED BOX CAFE.

Omg!

This place reminds me of some blond cheerleader who just looks good but can't even speak in proper English grammar.

Good decor, not much else

Structurally pretty much the same as the layout in China Gate (i think), it has a spanking red modernist decor that makes the place look attractive for a yuppy time out.

But apart from that, I think the place (like most other places) survives purely on the fact that most of us are not really very discerning when it comes to judging restaurants and just need places to 'eat out'.

There is a giggling maitre-d', slow waiters who do not top up water glasses or even present the right menu at the right time (the drinks menu arrived after the order was placed!), and you seriously have doubts about the place knowing its food when you have typos in the menu ('Baerly' for Barley, 'Worldrof' for Waldorf)!
