Poor
Bad food, bad drinks and bad service!
Red Box looks very interesting, and the decor of the place is the main reason for it, I think. It can seem a bit gaudy and tacky to people who like pastels and lighter shades, but I think it's quite a daring theme, and works quite well.
That is, sadly, the cafe's ONLY plus point.
The food we ordered, I think it was called a Moroccon sizzler was overpriced, and there was nothing authentically Moroccon about it at all! The drinks too are quite bad, and overpriced. The music they play is a weird mix between trance, gym music and pop...I don't think it went well with the ambience at all. Also, it was very loud.
All in all, Bandra has many other places you can visit, unless you are fond of wasting money on bad food!

Excellent
Amazing sports nights + concept!
I went here for the 20-20 world cup final, and had a blast! The place has tv screens all over, and during game nights they have a projector screen and a great dj! I would thoroughly recommend the cafe to anyone who wants to watch games in a noisy and energetic atmosphere. After the world cup final I went during the day and realised that the cafe has two different menus - a morning edition (more non-alcoholic drinks/snacks etc) and an evening edition (cocktails/ alcoholic deserts etc). The menu is designed as a newspaper, which I thought was very cool as it goes well with MTC's concept of 'catch up'. Food and drinks are reasonably priced, and there's an open terrace with hukkas and a great view of Bandra. The service was quite slow that day, but I went again for the IPL games and it seems to have improved A LOT! Tuesdays are boozeday-tuesday nights, which makes drinks affordable - and definitely try the alcoholic deserts they have...
Overall, the concept and decor of the place is excellent! The service is now MUUUUCH better than what it was a while ago, and food is ok. There are various drinks, all priced fairly reasonable (considering it's in Bandra).
