Good Value for Money
Visited this joint when I couldnt just wait at Red Box to get my table. Decor is pretty decent, although we sat out in the open it wasnt that bad, although i would have preferred to get a table inside but i was in no mood to wait.
We ordered for the veg platter which included paneer tikka (5/5), jalapeno poppers (4/5), cheese corn balls (3/5) and hummus with pita (0/5!!). Yes, the pita were awful. Another thing that disappointed me was its wine collection, they barely had any red wine to offer and the cocktail i ordered which was supposed to be thier speciality (day at the myst) sucked! The iced teas we ordered were quite mediocre.
We then ordered penne pasta in paprika sauce with veggies which took all my disappointment away. This is the only dish for which i would even think of returning back to this place. The veg canneloni we ordered was ok. Garlic bread was quite decent.
Staff and service was again below par. Most of the servers had no idea of what they were serving. I was asking for ketchup and pepper flakes and twice i was given the salt and pepper trays.
All in all an ok place, not something you are missing out for sure but I would like to see some more italian restaurants along the andheri link strech.
Damage for 3 with drinks ~ 1200

Just as the name: Nothing clear
Just as my review tittle says, the places is MYSTY.. has nothin clear. AS u enter d place the 1st thing that will come to ur mind will be darkness.. he ehe.. jus kidding. The ambiance of d place is cool. Lit in d dim light of candles, it's an apt place to spend some cozy time with that special one. Small floating candles are placed on the table. The waiter comes n lights it as soon as d table's occupied. They offer u 2 kinda seatings. The normal table chair arrangement & also the deewan type with nice cushions. The ambiance screams a lot of WOOD, from the table to the chairs, to d lightings.. d works.. to keep the place cool, they have kept on trolleys the air coolers, they don't really help coz the blow of the coolers is so hard that it blows the candle off & practically everything on the table from the table cloth to the menu card to our hair to even d clothes.. so it becomes a bit to difficult to manage. Also since d blowers were directed towards one of my friends she was frozen even before our starters arrived. Then we requested a shifted to d deewan area, which was better.
U better have some awesome eyesight to figure out what's on d menu coz of the very little light they offer. u can barely see.
I went there with 2 of my close friends, we ordered for a pasta, some starters & 3 cocktails.. the drinks were fab, the service quick. The food also good.
Reading the cockroach reviews of my fellow burrpers I was a bit skeptical when my friends suggested this place, but i still took courage to enter coz i had some other people giving me good reviews. I wouldn't deny the fact that the place is dingy coz its too dark, so obviously if u cant manage to read the menu how can u spot a cockroach,.. so thats a little scary.
But the ambiance is lovely, & so is the food... so i guess its worth taking courage..

mystical venture
The absolute first thing that you notice when you enter this place is the absolute minimal lighting....and the most nonsensical thing follows when you take your seat and peek into the menu - its printed in gray on black paper....what a bummer???? - how the hell is one supposed to read silver lines on a black paper with only a whim of candlelight for help - pheww, thats where you eject the cellphone - switch on the flashlight - and begin - however tacky it may sound or look - what with a battery of 4 nerds trying to cram the menu, it seems!! - but thats the only flipside to this tale.
Upsides are many:
The staff is attentive and mighty prompt. The drinks menu is comprehensive, so is the food menu.
1) We ordered a Godfather which was stiff (considering it was neat and left no room for the bartender's indulgence), a mojito, a martini - all well made and potent.
2) Chicken Starters are full-bodied and well done, succulent and neat portions.
3) MUST TRY: vodka infused prawn pasta!! - light cheesy white sauce, intercepted with prawns and pasta (of choice); further impregnated with a large amount of vodka, so much so that each bit makes the eater aware of the vodka infused flavour.
The place had no definitive clientèle - as in, the night-out-type ambience that it exuberates is undone by a swarm of kids (accompanying their families) playing in the pathway amongst the tables!
Safely muddled in between a lounge and a restaurant, this eatery cum watering hole provides a unique blend of both...well worth an applause i.e.

Good going Bad?
Was a lovely place to lounge around once upon a time. Their poppers, dal & roti were a good combo. But tried it out a couple of weeks back, & went popping right out. Guys you need to recreate the mystique all over again....

Can I give a 0?
Myst is what I thought to be a great watering hole for the suburbs. My thoughts after the latest experience have changed. I headed here with friends on a Friday night, looking for the usually dependable Myst experience - a nice place to chill outdoors, have some drinks amongst good company, and order some starters. Let me get right to the point...yes, my friends so rightly points out, we found a f*cking dead cockroach in our bowl of peanuts. Some of the ridiculous excuses we heard:
1. "We had pest control done the other day" - oh f*cking fantastic, that makes it all right, bring me a bowl of roaches, please!
2. "Sorry ma'am, it won't happen again" - of course it won't, you morons! It's not as if you made my food too spicy, I found the most detestable insect on earth in my bowl of peanuts!
3. "It's never happened before ma'am" - WTF, you think I'm lying assh*le?
After a ton of back and forth, the manager finally met us after we'd already decided to pack up. He offered for us to check out his kitchen and offered a round of drinks and some food on the house. By that time, the only thing I could think about were creepy crawlers in my stomach. Yech! I'm staying away from this place. Will most likely park myself at Vanilla from hereon out. Meet me there, gang!
