Good Italian food
After reading numerous reviews on Burrp - my new guide to food in mumbai, we decided to try out White. I'm a regular at Don Giovanni and hence a visit to any joint claiming to be Italian was almost blasphemy. But the need for some good Italian food (what with Don Giovanni in Juhu under renovation) found us at White.
We were the first ones to arrive and had the restaurant all to ourselves for quite a while, something that’s rare nowadays. The Sunday brunch didn’t disappoint altogether. The buffet consisted of appetizers, mocktails, soups, salad, breads and a variety of accompaniments, a live omelet station, entrees and dessert, quite a spread.
The starters both vegetarian and non-vegetarian seemed like they had been waiting to be devoured for quite a few hours...the result in some, soggy bread, topping with a bit of a dry edge...But then there were a few gems – The Zucchini starter was melt in the mouth and so was the spinach Bruschetta.
The made to order salad was good - Leafy greens, different dressing, cheese – Gorgonzola, Ricotta & Scarmoza and of course a choice of cold cuts.
After gorging on the appetizers, we had little room left to venture into the land of P&P and decided to go with just the classic Margherita Pizza. The pizza was cold when it reached the table and was a tad too dry for my liking.
Always save the best for the last and that’s exactly what the last course was - The dessert spread was good. A good balance of chocolate and fruits – pastries and tarts. I’m always on the look out for good Tiramisu, which since missing in the buffet was something that we ordered and I must say it was good with the right balance of mascarpone and coffee.
Overall I must say that the service was very impressive. Among the best I have seen. The manager was friendly and happy to chat.
Damages: Absolute value for money. Its Rs 450 incl taxes per person plus Rs 450 if you want unlimited beer/ wine.
I look forward to many more satisfying Sunday brunches at white which with time can only get better.

VFM...Excellent Service
Was really anticipating visiting this place after reading all the great reviews and winning a gift voucher from burrp! Had gone for the Sunday brunch. It is a smallish restaurant so better if you book and go. The place is well done in tones of white (what else :) ).
There was a buffet for the appetizers and desserts while you had to order the mocktails and entree from the menu. For the veg there 3 - 4 salads, 2 soups, 3 -4 appetizers, variety of breads and accompaniments like spreads, olives, sun dried tomatos, olive oil, vinegar.
For the entree they had 2 veg pizzas, 3 pasta sauces with the toppings you want, bruschetta (Didn't understand why that would be part of your main course) aad gnocchi.
Ordered penne in basil pesto with mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and olives, Margherita pizza. The pasta was really good but somehting was wrong ith the pizza. Can't put my finger on what exactly was wrong.I was told that maybe since it is a wood fire pizza but then these are served in a lot of other places as well.
They also have a live omlet station and a cheese platter with an unusual selection that you normally don't find like goat cheese.
For the dessert the had plain croissants (found that a bit wierd), raisin danish, chocolate tart, peach torte, caramel custard, some pineapple cake and waffles with honey, maple syrup or ice cream. Tried a bit of everything. The peach torte was amazing.
Service: I must say I was very impressed with the service. Among the best I have seen. The manager came twice to ask us if everything was ok.
Damages: Its Rs 450 incl taxes per person plus Rs 450 if you want unlimited alcohol.
Verdict: Was a bit disappointed with the food but it is value for money and the service is excellent.
P.S - In the feedback form I had mentioned that we weren't too happy with the pizza. I actually got a call from the chef inquiring what was wrong and if there was anything they could do. That is taking good service to a different level.
If they keep up this attitude I'm sure this would become among the best Italian places to go to.

brunch munch - Sunday treat
An invite from the burrp team led my path to brunch on this Sunday afternoon...finally!
Having read a staggering number of fantastic reviews, this one is definitely spiraling itself into the halls of fame...talk about maintaining their standards, talk about a nice 'white' ambience, or even talk about the comfort and warmth of the hospitality to devour the offerings in its entirety.
The oddity of the place struck me that there were surprisingly few tables occupied...much more of a boon to the experience, actually!
The trick's simple - chip in Rs. 450/- per person to the pot and you are done and dealt with.
The first course prompts you to select one mocktail from a list of 4. Nicely done, although served unchilled. For a thirster of the hard drink, chip in an additional Rs. 450/- (inc. taxes) and dive into a seamless flow of alcohol, cocktails, wines (also available on its own tho' - per drink charge).
The neatly laid out spread around the boundaries of the restaurant prompts you out of your seats immediately.
Vegetarian soups (potato and leek chowder and gazpacho), vegetable tarts, aubergine salad, sundried tomato - bell pepper - pesto salad, bruschetta with topping were some of the veggie starters overlooking the open kitchen counter.
Non-vegetarian starters included the yummiest and the tastiest prawn (smallest portions of mango sitting upon each prawn - winner stuff), chicken mince ball (soft, succulent meat), smoked salmon bruschetta (brilliant and fresh), cold chicken pasta, grilled fish bruschetaa (fresh again and taste-worthy).
A side station hosts a - DIY omelette station - choose your picks and they conjure the rest - served with plain croissant, cheese croissant, a selection of cold cuts, cream crackers, veggies on the side - a not to miss surely.
Penultimate choice - the main entree rests in the able hands of the cook - amongst a list of main portions, pastas, pizzas, you take a pick and the chef goes to work - to create each one hot and portion-wise. We had
1) kingfish with sundried tomato sauce and asparagus and mashed potato
2) chicken breast with mashed potato
Although full to the brim by the time these arrived, the aroma and taste was un-deterrent so as not to dig and finish it off!
You know its a job well done when you can feel the tingling of the tastebuds reminiscing the flavours well into the day after the meal and even the next day!
The final course - excellent is an understatement for the mango pudding.
It definitely takes creative thinking to create a niche for yourself in today's mushrooming era of restaurants over the city. White has flagged their position - unmistakably and have a definite patron-standing by now. They have proven that locations do not matter for people who know their act - and most-ably so!
Cheers to burrp and cheers to white for this tantalizing experience

Simply Splendido!
First impressions can be truly deceptive. I went there first on Valentine's day. Needless to say it was over crowded and the waiting time for seating and food was ridiculous - basically too much to handle for a new place. Thankfully, the food was tasty enough and my love for Italian food high enough for me to give it another shot and I was wonderfully surprised. I have been there quite a few times after that and now its high up in my list of favorite restaurants.
The ambiance is really good -the low lighting and white sofas creating a nice feel. The food is very authentic Italian and so is the menu - some of the names can be real tongue twisters! But the staff is courteous and knowledgeable enough to explain and help you order. They will also customize the dishes on the menu if you ask.
I have tried pretty much everything on offer for vegetarians here and I have been impressed by them all - the pastas, the pizzas, the risotto - everything is good to great. Even though the starters are pretty good, they come in small portions - just enough for two to share.
All in all a very nice place for a romantic evening or to chill out with a bunch of friends.
