Great place for a Saturday night!
Had been to red box a couple of weeks back and it is a great place to be.Mind it, it was a saturday night so you are bound to expect some waiting period before you get your table.But once your in then itz a different experience cause the ambience and the interiors are amazing!!The starters rock!!...Especially the fish fingers.Booze is not too expensive.150 bucks for a small peg of vodka and 150 for a large beer which is not bad!!...Dont order too many starters like how we did cause then there is no room for the main course.Though we ordered some main course which was again good but the starters stole the show.Service was excellent.You dont have to call for the waiters to fill your glass and they dont ignore you when you call for them.Music is mostly bollywood and punjabi numbers.Can be a mix of english n hindi numbers cause not everyone is into bollywood music.The table can cause a little inconvinience as it is actually meant for 2 but they accomodate 3 people especially when you've ordered too many starters plus your booze glass plus ur plate.I think they can accomodate 3 people on a table for 4 rather than a table for 2.
Total came upto 1600 bucks(Food+booze)....Not bad!!
PS-Waiting period can be long...cause itz a saturday night....Be patient cause what's outside can be frustrating(that's the waiting)...but what's inside is mindblowing!!!

Good ambience, bad food
Good things first. The ambiance is good and the colors are matching the name theme. The crowd however is a mix of family people and friendship bunches, so that's kindda nice too.
As far as food is concerned, my bad experiences continue. The food is not authentic at all. I do not know why such a fine restaurant fails to live upto the expectations of tastebuds of all three of us. One thing is for sure, rarely are there restaurants who do really customized cooking. This one is no exception. They have same curry (full of oil and cheese) that they will use in all their dishes. Only the core would sometimes be potato, sometimes veggies, sometimes cottage cheese .. horrible.
Having a unified curry is good from efficiency point of view but please do not go to this place if you want authentic food. You will certainly be disappointed. Folks, please stop going there just because you see many people sitting there.

Best Ambience, Music & Food
I love this cafe ever since it opened up in Bandra. Their ambience was very classy with red all round specially the square plates which were red too.
On the drinks, their Long Island Ice Tea is good and gets one drunk if you gulp down 2 of those.
Prices are reasonable.
The food here is too good specially for starters the barbeque paneer. For the main course one has to have Cannelloni which is the best I have ever had. They sizzlers are worth a try too. The pizaas and pastas are also nice and sumptuous.
On the whole, a very nice place to hang out anytime of the day or night. Cheers!!!

Been here a few times...
I've read the other reviews to this place and I think one thing is quite apparent, not only from the reviews but from personal experience as well.
If you want to have a good time and remember this place fondly, go early on the weeknights, or at lunch any time during the week.
If you want to think of this place as one you would never want to come back to then visit it at Saturday night... I would thoroughly appreciate not being subtly (although thats not exactly what it was...bill on the table before we asked for it) asked to leave no matter how many people are waiting outside, as long as my behavior and that of my companions are within acceptable norms...
Either way, the food is nice, and well priced. The service can vary from being completely unobtrusive, to standing on your head so that you catch the hint... Its not that I mind being asked to, "..move along now...", and I have been, but that was in places where I expect such a situation (udipi's etc.), so if these guys could come up with a streamlined reservation system wherein you were assured you were not necessarily going to need to wait too long for a table and also not pressured while inside, to vacate your table.
The food here is better than most places, comfortably priced as well, and the ambience is generally good (except for those non-smokers). But there are other places nereby that offer just as good food, with similar ambience, and equally as reasonable pricing, and where you are NOT made to feel pressured to vacate your table...
Hope these folks get it together for their weekend services, it'd do much better for it as a restaurant.
Word-of-mouth power is amazing, which is why this site is amazing... Proprietor's beware...

Good place, its everyones choice..
Hello
- I have to agree, its a good place to get friends, and family
- Try cold coffee
- Try prawn butter garlic (ask for less garlic, less black pepper)
- Try Fish Harsha
- Try the Griller Fish (not a sizzler )(ask less pepper, ask for mash potato with cheese instead of fries)
- Try any sizzler (ask for extra sauce, upfront)
Con's
- TOOO smoky "cigarette smoke"
- Servers, / waiters, need to upgrade here, wont do with the typical Udipi style servers
