still good
The place has been around for quite a while now, cozy, comfortable, perfect for lazy afternoon lunches.
The menu has changed and some of the old favs have disappeared.
We got the balinese curry with couscous, not bad, coconut flavored yellow curry.
The mushroom risotto was mind boggling. The best Risotto i have had anywhere in the world. Risotto itself is ok, however it is is served on the side with a mushroom and tomato paste which is just mind numbing.
The dessert was an average and boring brownie with ice cream.
Must try for for the risotto.

Great food, slow service
Walked into this place at 9pm on a Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised to find a table inside.
Sad part is no alcohol is served here. But the mocktails adequately made up for the initial let down. Also must try the Lemon grass Chicken soup. Mildly spiced with a great flavour.
The recommended chicken dish is the Garlic and chicken Scarmoza. Just mindblowing! The service was very slow, and one has to wait for over 5 min to even get an extra plate. Our dinner took almost 2 hours. The Chargrilled Raws is also a great dish, and so is the stir fried Veggies with Couscous. The moroccon Chicken was a red curry with no specific taste and was a bit of a let down esp when it came after all the delicious food.
However the desserts literally took the Cake. The Blueberry Cheesecake as well as the Strawberry cheesecake was rocking.The Chocolate Mousse a little extra bitter and the Mudpie way too sweet are still worth the price.
On the whole, A definitely recommended place if you have the time

The filet mignon is pretty much the best in the city... The service and ambience is just right. A must visit restaurant if you are in bandra.
Cannot say anything wrong about this place.

nice place
Name/Location: Cafe Basilico, Colaba/Bandra
Average Cost: Around 350 a dish, 100 a drink nd 150 for desert
Food: The head chef used to be the famous Chef Moshe who has now gone on to start his own restaurant.The place is owned by the same guy who owns Koyla. The menu here has recently changed nd I wasnt too happy about that until I ate here again. I used to have a Cilantro Chicken which was basically a grilled chicken in cilantro sauce with mashed potatoes. When I requested the chef to make the same thing again he reccomended something else. Im not too sure about the name but it had mozerella. I highly reccomend this dish. The place is open for breakfast too but iv never been able to get up early enough. I tihnk its open from 7 . The cuisine here is mostly mediterranean. Their deserts are good too. They used to have the most amazing Baileys Cream Cake though theyv stopped it. I reccomend the Oreo Cheese Cake which has a layer of Crushed Oreos in the middle of other layers of chocolate. Their Blueberry Cheesecake is good too . The deserts here are so good that some people come nd only order deserts. In drinks id reccomend the Peachy Cheek which is just sprite nd peach flavour though its really good.
Service: The service here is good. The waiters are polite nd helpful nd the chef comes to help you out in case ur confused. the waiters sometimes have problems telling you about the food though theyre very patient about it. The food doesnt come that fast though nd u might be waiting a good 20 mins before u get fed.
Ambience: I quite like the ambience here though the chairs do tend to get uncomfortable after a while. The floor is made out of railway sleepers nd is quite cool to look at. The best part about the place is the tall windows through which you can look out onto the street. gives the place a real charming touch. The only problem though is its quite cramped nd u can sometimes here what people on the other table are saying
Conclusion: I definilty reccomend this place. especially the deserts. nd now after theyve opened their new branch in Bandra i tihnk more nd more people are beggining to love this place. a good place thats not too expensive yet not too cheap.

great food----- worth the wait!
This place that started originally along with Moshe Shek (the celebrated chef) has not deteriorated on food after he quit.. But what has taken a hit is service.
The place is really understaffed and one has to wave or shout (your choice) to get attention. The food is good... but by the time it reaches the table ... it loses its sizzle.
They are doing a new menu for Christmas.
