Good
This is the place to be if you have a nocturnal life cycle. Late nights drinks and tasty food is welcome for all those who search for good restaurants post midnight. Ranjeet da Dhaba serves food till 4am.
This place was renovated of late and the interiors are quite contemporary now. You might find the odd drunkards relishing their whiskeys and talking in loud voices but thats something that you can either ignore or get accustomed to after a while. If you plan to go here after 12 in the night don't take your girlfriend along.
Best part of the deal is that this restaurant also gives out home delivery, in and around chembur. Quantity is adequate, portions are ample and the pricing is moderate. The Chef takes good care to give you an experience that keeps you burrping all night. Hands down the best place I've discovered in Chembur for dinner, drinks and tandoori food.
A four course meal for two would cost approximately Rs. 500-600. Drinks aren't too expensive either and there are a range of brands that you can choose from.
Only downside to this place is its location, quite hard to get there till 10pm but its best to hunt down this place and go here for a late night dinner.

Poor
I stepped inside City Kitchen for lunch, more than hunger it was the hype that drove me inside this place. Goan food outlets are a rarity in mumbai and this one failed to live up to my expectations.
The waiter seemed to be in a hurry to shoo customers although there were quite a few empty tables. "jaldi order do jo menu board pe likha hai utna hi milega" and off went the waiter.
I ordered for a chicken curry and rice. The curry was 'strictly ok' the taste never lingered in my mouth and there were three chicken pieces which made me feel as if the chef had been 'highly generous' to provide. Nevertheless i ordered dal fry to cover up for the inadequate curry, the dal turned out to be luke warm. I believe its a unwritten rule that customers expect hot food when they place an order which certainly isn't the case in City Kitchen.
Portion sizes are not up to the mark and the place is over priced for the services offered. I ran up a bill of rs. 70 and an unsatisfied stomach. This is certainly not a place that i would recommend to any of my friends or colleagues. Go here only if you are dying of hunger and all other places have shut down.
