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!!!

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...

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

WTF!? This place was full of more smoke than a Chinese coal plant. What's the deal with everyone smoking inside a family-friendly restaurant? Yeah, second hand smoke is great for your little fat kids lungs. It's not enough that he looks like a bucket of lard at 4 years old; nah! Let's blow smoke in his face!
Happened here after our terrible experience at Myst (read my review) to continue our night of drinking. Upon learning that we were only in the restaurant to swig a few, the manager promptly starts to put the pressure on us by just standing at our table, waiting for us to order more drinks as we casually sip away. What a f*cking baboon. More so, he tells us at 12:30AM that it's "last call" at the bar. Are you kidding me? 25 minutes later, we see him serve beers to a table full of goras. I can stand some bad service here and there, but a gora-ass kissing manager is all it takes for me to walk right out, which is exactly what we did. I give them a few stars because the music of the place was decent, and the crowd looked fine (although their lungs probably look like shriveled up tree bark).
Not going back here either...my quest is still on for the perfect Lokhandwala/Oshirwara/Andheri (W) watering hole...follow me to freedom, people!

As a non-veg, I appreciate a nice big menu of meat and chicken. So, this place gets big marks for that.
And also the ambience is fun, the crowd is generally mid sized (I haven't been there on a weekend yet). We usually end up spending a few hours there, drinking, snacking and smoking. Which is basically my 2nd favorite hobby, following "sleeping in front of the television".
I have never had problems with the waiters or service, but again, maybe you need to go during the weekend to have service problems.
Yum, I want to go there right now and eat some chicken-ey goodness.
