I first went there when I heard they had free wine for women on mons, tues, and thurs. I had never been to this joint before mainly cause had no clue what "SODA" suggested ! lol!
The place is small, but the blue lighting on white furnitures give it a nice feel. I was recieved at the entrance by a smiling steward who showed me to a smoking table in the a/c section. I ordered for a white wine (the free one ! ) and some snacks- Egyptian prawns & Mozerella cheese fingers. The prawns were nice, Mozerella cheese fingers were cripsy till you bit into it to feel the melted cheese. It had been fried just right. Music was good- they played old houe rock and hits from the 80's. Overall it was a chilled out experience. But after an hour it got full, and then I realised it gets cramped for space. My verdit- Good food, Good drinks, Nice rates, Good music..but Small place.

If you decide to eat at Soda, you will find that it is quite a happy experience from start to finish.
From the colour schemes to the music, from the smell of incense to the tasty food, from the free wine for women to the 'Happiest hours', from the opaque lighting to the soft candle light, Soda is quite engaging.
The menu offers you different creative choices. For example, the 'Murgh tikka chat' which is of mouth watering quality! The meat is succulent and the food is fresh.
For those of you who want to eat simple food, the biryani is excellent.
Mocktails you can try- 'Blue heaven'.. 'Roy Rogers'..
Soda makes a dedicated attempt to please and it does on most parameters.
The place is small in size and big on clever creativity. The service is average.
As a suggestion, Soda could be explored as a venue for a small private party also.
If they froth it up some more.. good ol' Tate's may need to pop a Soda!

I myself keep visiting soda for dinner, and I throughly love the food! It is sad that people are so used to eating junk food full of spice and stuff that they fail to realise the authentic preparations. It's a nice place, small but the abmience is excellent and food is completely delicious. Very reasaonably priced, they have the widest menu people can choose from...I would personally recommend this place, being from the hospitality industry myself. Their sizzlers are to die for...

We went there with high expectations, but what a disappointment it turned out to be.
Although the place is quite cramped (I think they have about 8 tables on both the floors combined), but the menu was as thick as the bible. They claim to have several cuisines - Thai, Malay, American, Indian, Chinese, Mediterranean, Sizzlers etc. The lighting on the top floor was too dim, we had to strain our eyes to read the menu.
My broccoli pasta salad tasted stale. The food serving was not coordinated at all. They served one guy on our table but didn't bring out everyone else's even after 35 mins.
I am not going there again, nor would advise you to go.

Soda will be called a lot of things going forward. Eclectic and flavourful will not be one of them. This brand new joint on the popular Pop Tate's stretch of JP Road in 7 Bungalows does nothing but disappoint. The self-proclaimed value proposition of this place is its representation of eclectic world fare - from Mexican to Thai, Italian to American, Malay to Indian. What ensues upon peering through the menu is nothing but confusion. The menu is so damn thick, it could be the long lost final edition of Harry Potter. In place of truly representing representative dishes, we have such ambiguous and nonsensical items on the menu such as "Bill's Special" and "Los Vegas" (sic) (as "American" items), "Nachos with Chicken Salsa" (what the fuck is chicken salsa!?), and on and on the ridiculous list goes.
We braved ahead and placed an order for some garlic tossed shrimp, a tomato and zucchini soup, and a broccoli and pasta salad. Most everything tasted as if it had gone stale. Nothing tasted fresh at all, immediately putting me off ordering anything else on this menu.
I don't reckon Soda will last too long. Generally, joints on this side of town, especially on this stretch of JP Road, have major quality issues, which tells me the problem is not with the places, but with the patrons, who continue to accept low levels of quality and service. I'm a simple and easy-to-please guy, but stupid I am not, and I won't go for this shit.
Soda, you've lost my patronage, and the more power to you as long as you can continue to make asses out of people...but not I.
