Ordinary at best Sep 10, 2009
The Yellow Chilli Powai | 76 reviews
Despite being warned not to go to Yellow Chilli I still braved it for lunch there yesterday. Should have listened to my friends. One would think Sanjeev Kapoor would be worried about diluting his equity (?) with this restauarant but I guess the draw of "expansion" can get anyone.
The decor is pretty nice, bright airy and quite different from the other (limited?) options in Powai. Lunch is a buffet with no option of ordering A La Carte. In my lexicon "Buffet" is not a good word. While some brunch places have managed to prove me wrong, Yellow Chilli had all the elements that I hate about... read more -

Ho-hum.. Oct 12, 2008
Del Italia Juhu | 33 reviews
Was at Del Italia for lunch today (Sunday) and I have to say the place was below expectations for me. Had heard some good things about it and read a few good reviews too so was (as always) excited to try a new place. But honestly my experience was pretty luke warm...with some pretty bad and pretty good thrown in!
The decor is decent, a sort of mediteranean-gone-mass. The place was fairly empty at around 1 when we got there, and even when we left at 3.30, it wasn't quite full the way you'd see at most half decent restaurants on a Sunday afternoon in Bby. To start with they were out of... read more -

Finally! Sep 21, 2008
Indigo Cafe Andheri West | 68 reviews
Being a huge Indigo Deli fan, I was very excited that it had opened up in Andheri too. It is a big deal for this oh so South Mumbai institution to make the trudge to the burbs. And I can only say thank you!
The food is pretty similar (same?) to Indigo Deli so it goes without saying how excellent it is. I tried the Eggs Florentine for the first time and found them light and full of flavour. The side of mushrooms had a yummy herbed taste that had literally been absorbed by them. My friends were raving about the ham & cheese quiche while I dug into a very fresh and crisp asparagus, arugula... read more -

A cute little place Aug 14, 2008
Mia Cucina Bandra West | 58 reviews
I’ve been to Mia Cucina twice now, once for coffee and once for dinner. Both times the first thing that struck me was the cosy feel that the place had, as if I had chanced upon a neighbourhood gem. They have outdoor and indoor seating and while the outdoor area is great for smokers, I really liked the booths that they had indoors.
The menu is simple but interesting. The wine list however is limited to the Chantilli and Tiger Hill brands while the more popular (?) Sula wine was not available, let alone any imported wines. But honestly, this place is more about the food than the wine (alth... read more -

C'est extrordinaire! Jan 15, 2008
Ecstasy Royapettah | 9 reviews
While my knowledge of french is admittedly limited, I'd like to believe I am something of a dessert connoisseur. So when I heard about the relatively new "Ecstacy" I had to try it out.
Having grown up in Chennai (when it was still Madras!), I must point out that desserts were never this city's best offerring (not counting the excellent Grand Sweets Badam Halwa ofcourse!). Yes we had the ever popular Snowfield (now a dessert "PUB" I hear? No comment!) and the ice cream sundaes at AVM Dasa and Eden were considered quite the delicacy, but somehow dessert as I knew it (atleast when I lived... read more -
