"The food at this former pop-up in the old Salt Water Cafe space makes us feel like we’re traveling through time. It’s both nostalgic and futuristic, inspired by Bandra in the ‘90s, and reimagined as a trippy underground venue. Did the graffiti and neon signs give it away? This place is pumping out dishes inspired by the chef’s childhood, and flavors from the communities that shaped the western suburb, from East Indians to Goans to Sindhis. Downright delicious experimentation is happening on the long list of shareable plates and entrees. The retro chicken puff pie, inspired by the one at Hearsch Bakery, is drowned in wine and truffle sauce. A Punjab Sindh malai paneer deluxe is a multicultural mix with harissa, hazelnut, and veg marmite broth. And the king cabbage, slow cooked until it resembles steak, finished with brown butter, and served in its own jus, will have everyone at the table haggling for the last bite. We want to list off the whole menu, but we’ll stop and just tell you to get here with a big group so you can try everything. photo credit: Vikas Munipalle" - Roshni Bajaj Sanghvi
