First things first, the place is BEAUTIFUL, to say the least. I was there for meeting a friend over lunch, and it looked pretty as a picture during the day. One side of the cafe, alongside the glass wall looking over the road, has been done with swing like couches. Then there is a corner section, for larger groups, and small tables adorning the remaining space. They have rooftop as well, but because it was too hot, we didn't have a look at it. In short, all the feels of a brightly lit, spacious cafe, that sets your mood right.
They are located above the SBI bank, on Club Road, and quite easy to spot if you look out for the board. There weren't many people when we went, so finding a seating of our choice wasn't an issue. And here is how the food fared.
1. Cocktail Vada Pav: A platter of six mini vada-pavs, smeared with tamarind chutney and served along side the green one. The vadas were as authentic and good as it gets!. Though the item mentioned cheese sauce, it wasn't there. But that did not hamper the taste at all. There was a masala powder garnishing the dish, and added an extra dimension to the flavour, when used in the right quantity.
2. Phulka Tacos (veg): hand-size phulkas put into the taco stand and filled with paneer bhurji. The paneer was finely minced and wasn't over-the-top spicy. A tad bit difficult to eat, because the phulka wouldn't hold its shape.
3. Pepper and Cheese Spring Rolls: These were basically something like the cheese rolls, that had been stuffed with bell peppers and cheese. Three such ones were cut vertically into halves, and placed in chai glasses. They were accompanied by a really good sweet-chilli sauce, and the dish in totality is a must-try.
4. Banta: From their Banta section of the mocktails, we chose to drink Kaala Khatta and Aam Panna. When the bottles first arrived, the drinks didn't look like what we had expected, but, boy! what flavours! Definitely recommend this to quench your thirst with some chatpata flavours. Ice was served in separate glasses, and we could pour out the banta into it as per our liking. (The taste was not lost even when diluted.)
They have a Zomato Gold 2+2 (which was useless for us because we didn't drink), and also had the option of availing discount when paid via Dine-out (which we didn't have). So, our bill landed up being a little shy of 1200 bucks. Special mention to the staff, that was prompt not only in service, but also told us about the above offers, because most places conveniently forget to inform the patrons regarding this.
The only shortcoming in the entire experience, for me, was the quantity served. This held true for everything except the vada pavs. The dishes are definitely well executed, and at the price, you tend to expect more quantity. Probably something that can be improved on, in an otherwise memorable meal.
