Fantastic view with OK food
The view from this revolving restaurant is just fantastic. It completes one round in about an hour, so you get a good view while you enjoy your food and drinks.
The so called Chinese Food is not so great. Now we have so many good joints serving better oriental food. Even the Waiters are not so familiar with the sugestions.
My Firang friends enjoyed the view of Marine Drive in the evening a lot!

journey; food-wise and sight-wise
A Diwali nite conjoined with my birthday called for a sequence of celebrations, and hence the urge to splurge to ensure a celestial journey traversing through the aromas of the oriental land and overlooking the grandeur that a diwali-lit marine promenade reflects!
We stepped into this revolving restaurant for dinner and did revel in the ambience it seemed to portray. Views of the Queens necklace (marine drive), brabourne stadium on one side, wankhede stadium on the other, the rajabhai towers, the mumbai university provided the perfect 'effortless-visually appealing-mumbai-trip' that one can ask for.
Cocktails were priced at Rs. 500/- a piece, whiskey at Rs. 350/- a large peg.
For starters, we ordered a prawn dish, a chicken dish, and a paneer dish. Somehow, the paneer outclassed all of them. Each was priced around Rs. 450-550/- a dish.
Main course comprised pot rice, fried rice, a paneer gravy, a chicken gravy, each priced at Rs. 600/- a dish.
And the high-point was their complimentary chocolate cake; one of the better ones around!! to rope in the birthday at midnight...cheers to that!!! :D
the festivities made my experience all the more spirited and fun. Dent caused: Rs. 7800/-...well worth it :)

Spin right past this place
The revolving restaurant idea is cool (not like the CN tower cool or anything) and gives good views of downtown Mumbai. Its really the only reason for coming here.
Service is slow and then overly fussy ( silver service does not equal good service), drinks and menus took an age to come. Menus are long and too complicated with Japanese, thai and various varieties of Chinese cuisine. Unless you know your way around the sorts of food on offer it would be difficult to put a good menu together. Not that in the end that it would really matter. It was difficult to distinguish between the bland dishes apart from the colour and the degree of spice. There was no subtlty of flavour, no textures to challenge your tastebuds, no attempt at authenticity or creativity. even the fried rice lacked oomph.
Needless to say we passed on desert.
