The location isn't neceassarily the most convenient, but once you get here, the ambience is nice enough for you to forget about travelling to this corner of Bandra.
The food is strictly passable, but the variety of cuisine(s) available are truly commendable. In this form of fast-food takeaways, you don't usually get these kind of affordable (?) prices, with this kind of continental fare. You get your desi-collaborative rolls and what not, but over all the other more substantial meal options are palatable, considering the prices you may have to pay for similar dishes in the bigger restaurants.
Be careful when visiting to get there a little early, this place has a policy in place which states that after a certain time in the evening the prices of their dishes are slashed by a certain percentage, which basically means that after that time everyone crowds into the restaurant, and pretty much buys everything thats available... which usually means that you don't get what you want to eat because someone has already finished it.
Worth coming here once every now and then, too bad they don't have a branch in Andheri anymore, I heard they used to but it closed down... oh well...

This place has an amazing variety of food available from Indian to Chinese to Continental.
Ordered the paneer tikka roti, veg macroni bake, veg patti, cold coffee and lemon grass cooler. The paneer tikka was good though not much to look at. The macroni was served with garlic bread and a really nice salad. But the macroni itself was really bad with the wierd texture of cheese/egg (not sure).
The cold coffee was too sweet. The best part of the meal was the lemon grass cooler. Very refreshing and with a distinct tang. Must try for those who like something different.
After hearing soo much was a bit let down. But will definately go there again to try the rest of the stuff.
Total cost: Rs 250 total value for money

one of my favorite-st haunts of bandra has to be candies. their cinnamon tea cake and chocolate milkshake are to die for! the rest of the stuff is great too, and it's all brilliant value for money....the stuff you can buy for a hundred bucks ain't funny. don't tell me you haven't been here, or i won't claim to know you

A charming place with wooden tables and good jazz in the background, this is an excellent palace to hang out with friends or just sit by oneself in a corner with a good book.
Their assortment ranges from Indian to Chinese to what not. But more or less all is good. Their cakes are simply brilliant. Be it a carrot, lemon, banana or a Californian raisin cake, they all are delightful. Another thing that they make well is a cold ham sandwich not that anyone can go wrong in it, but the point being that the quality of ham is good.
One highlight of the place is the garlic bread loaf and trust me its one of the best you can find in Mumbai. The serve a whole range of drinks but I cannot muster the will power to not order the cold coffee.
The service at times is slow but the ambience and the general buzz of the place makes up for it.

Ah Candies -- lifesaver... our office orders from here 4 times a week. Try the yummy chutney sandwiches or the chicken in mushroom sauce. Complete value for money , Candies serves Indian Combo meals and chinese combo meals ( butterchicken with roti or the fried rice with dragon chicken..its all good!) If you want to sip on something then you must try the wildberry iced tea or the cold coffee...now here comes the best part they serve yummy dessert , pick from an assortment blueberry cheesecake, newyork cheesecake,rum balls , the mud cake or the oat cookies. The biryani is also yummy if you like Indian food.
The delivery service is pretty efficient...though if you walk into one of the Candies Outlets you might not find a table, its best to order in..
Go ahead and indulge ;)
