Crap food and understaffed service Dec 01, 2011
Café Basilico Bistro & Deli Bandra West | 50 reviews
When you see ridiculous prices, you say, mmm food must be really good right? WRONG! Rs. 250 for a dried out slice of margherita - not even a slice it was a slice-ita! pasta was soggy and saucy - bruschetta was basically toast - yeah like the one sitting in bottles at tea shops - not even freshly made! with stuff sprinkled on it that had nothing to do with fresh mediterranean food. why is it that nobody can pronounce it right (BrusKetta being the right way) either? aren't the waiters trained in such a ridiculously expensive place?
And finally the place had 2 waiters for like 25 tables... read more -

Nice food, definitely my favorite Bandra Italian Nov 26, 2011
Mia Cucina Bandra West | 61 reviews
After 3 unsuccessful attempts to get in (place was full - which always increases the attraction), we finally found a table at this popular place (on a week night). The food is genuine Italian, I must say, so compliments! (Not to be immodest but having spent 7 years in Italy, I should know!) The staff could do with a little more training - simple stuff like "don't suggest food if you don't know what your customer wants" , "pronounce the dishes correctly" - nothing earth shattering but it would add that completeness to an otherwise good dining experience.
Some items on the menu were misspelled... read more -

Overpriced and pretentious "italian" wanna-be food Nov 26, 2011
Cafe Mangii Khar West | 91 reviews
HI, I visited your restaurant with my family for the 3rd time - each time we visit we "hope" for better food, value or at least taste. Alas, looks like you have joined the fast-growing list of so-called Italian rip-off joints serving mediocre food at ridiculous prices. Your drinks have no consistency - e.g. every time we ordered the Spice Girl - first time it was good, next time it was not so good, and today it was icy, watery and diluted and tasted more like a Mojito - do you change your bar man every week? why should anyone return to your place for good food if each time is unpredictable?

Dear Sir/Madam,
We are truly sorry about your experience. Could you please give us details on info@cafemangii.com with regards to when you visited the restaurant, who served you, etc.Replied by: hungamaburrpaa, on Dec 02, 2011 Flag this
Dear Devika, I appreciate your well-intentioned reply, I will look for the receipt - but I hope you do realize the main issue wasn't about the day or time or waiter - it's a general disregard for quality and overcharging for mediocre food. As the Italian saying goes - when the fish stinks, it's from the head downwards...RESPONSE FROM MANAGEMENTReplied by: Devika Keer, Marketing Manager, on Feb 27, 2012 Flag this

Only for the time-pass crowd Nov 19, 2011
The Bagel Shop Bandra West | 35 reviews
I Must confess I really didn't find anything good about this place. Unclean in general, flies all around, unmopped floors and tables, chairs from garage sale, it does nothing to make you feel comfortable. Least of all the bagels are fluffy and doughnut-like - I mean who taught these guys to make bagels? I can find real bagels for 20 bucks a pop (take-away) at Saltwater not too far from here! (not that I'm biased or love that place). The super stinky loo was the icing on the cake and we walked out, wife-first.. The only people who frequent this place, I'm sure, are the lukkha couples who only... read more -

Cozy but mediocre food Nov 10, 2011
Love & Latte Bandra West | 6 reviews
First thing that strikes you is it's a really tiny place (4 or 5 tiny tables + one little cozy corner sofa behind a pillar). We (family - parents, 2 kids - one of them a teenager) ordered a chocolate mousse, which was nice and smooth (but more fondant would have enhanced the flavor), vegetarian pizza which was tiny and boring (for some reason it arrived with mustard and Tabasco bottles on the side), The tiramisu was heavy and cheesy - little or no sign of coffee or mascarpone (maybe trying to call it Tirami-Giu!). Last (and the least) a slice of Black forest cake - again heavy and rough with a... read more -
