fresh lease of life

The Teapot , Fort | 2 reviews

Amidst the rush of joints; mainly south-indian, and otherwise, roadside stalls, 'The Teapot' brews its fresh concoction right into your face, mainly spearheaded by the owner + cook who personally caters to not just the food, but to work up a casual demeanour. Steering away from the stereotyped Barista and Cafe Coffee Day, the range of food, here actually makes this a more do-able joint.

The day's specials embellish the chalk board, and includes a variety from chicken dhanshak and rice to masala sandwich to brown foccaccia veg/non-veg sandwiches to cheesy pastas to chocolate tarts and... read more

road-side to up-side!

H. Paramesha Fast Food Corner , Fort | 6 reviews

In the scheme of things relating to ideating, creating, executing, and selling, one can only go so long a length when it comes to catering to the tastes of the roadside-sandwich-bred Mumbaiite! By this what I mean, is that the roadside sandwich-wallas who have been catering every kid, teen, and adult for years now is devoid of the innovation cycle, purely coz the stuff still sells as it is, something that serves as a mid-meal hunger relaxant.

Two variants have existed thus far, in this race; a toasted or grilled masala sandwich, and a toasted or grilled regular sandwich with the works... read more

exemplary sub-standard service

Subway , Deccan Gymkhana | 4 reviews

A sub-sandwich is, well, a sub-sandwich. Cold veggies, choice of cold or hot meats, and a plethora of dressings..completes the DIY thingy.

What defines the class of a subway restaurant, then, is the treatment met out to the customer, or the lack of it!

By the humblest standards, the service at this store is way under-par. The staff here is absolutely clueless as to the efficiency of making a sandwich. Whilst having eaten at international subway restaurants where the throughput time of one customer (having one standard sub) does not exceed 5 mins (at the maximum, during the... read more

specialty strikes

Marrakesh , Thane (W) | 8 reviews

Gospel around the town of Thane goes that a specialty restaurant sees the dumps sooner than it can manage to gather any momentum. Hence, the dearth in the niche segment. Alas, that was the case a couple of years ago, or so we believe.

With entrants of popular chains such as Mahesh Lunch Home, Barbeque Nation targeting the uber taste palattes, the vikings of good food have dared to embrace the town on a note of specialty offerings....and on one such note, we have Marrakesh, in a quaint tucked-way location, opened 4 months prior, as it awaits its liquor permit, as it awaits its recognition!

Simple... read more

ding dong - the clocks stopped

Yazdani Bakery , Fort | 5 reviews

Nestled in a by-lane of the ever-so-busy Fort-Fountain area of Mumbai, Yazdani bakery deserves more than a fair share of history, purely for having managed to be unfazed by the progressive attitude of the city.

Unbridled in its retro-outlook complete with unkempt waiters in the quintessential vest and lungi, the care-free owner at the cash register, breads piled low and high around the interiors, it speaks volumes of an era bygone long long ago, when mumbai was bombay, when suzuki had not yet made an appearance, when the Indian flag was restricted from fluttering, and many such elemental... read more
