Grandmama's Cafe : Review

Helllloooo,

Wasn't the first time I was visiting this place... but, the first time I went to Grandmama's Cafe in Dadar (East) we didn't get a place to sit inside. I had fallen in love with the interiors of this place and couldn't resist going there again. So elegant, vintage, Victorian and cosy!

During the first visit I wasn't very sure of the outside area because of the traffic, dust and people getting outside the station area, but it was still peaceful with jazz music which takes you back in time.

This time I went in the afternoon and got seated on the couch inside. The white walls and pastel hues with all the antiques hanging, was a treat to the eyes!

I munched on the cheesy and gooey Mac and cheese which was served in a small frying pan kinda thing. Loaded with cheese and a little seasoning it gave a simple yet satisfactory taste. 

I also called for mash potato with chicken which looked under-cooked by the look of it but melted in the mouth within 10 seconds.

I highly recommend the hot chocolate at Grandmama's Cafe which has won several  hearts. It is sinfully thick with an excellent taste.

The bill came in a strange box and added a niche touch. The quantity of their food may look deceptive, but by the end of it 2 of us were holding our stomachs. While you exit, it gives you that I must come here again feeling and is a must must musssttt try!

But, the BEST thing spotted at this place, was this one true pair which displayed eternal love and makes me believe in FOREVER! ( Sorry abut the image quality)

No sooner was the sister to this place opened in Kamla Mills. Having already been to the Dadar cafe twice this time I wanted to check the one at Kamla Mills. This place, located in Kamla Mills gave us a round to the entire mill to find it. Everything there from the entry to it's ambiance to its menu's to its varied ways of serving condiments.. It's all so eye pleasingly gorgeous! This outlet serves alcohol too, so you can sip a wine and enjoy your meal.

We walked-in on a Tuesday night for dinner during the IPL so the place was packed with families and was very noisy since daddies-uncles and kids were cheering loudly non-stop.
We started with the four cheese pizza which as the name suggests was topped with four amazing cheese.. And was stringy and delicious.

We also called for the Orange Rosso Sangria which comprised of red wine with slice of orange and apple. The concentration was 10/10. Not only did the sangria appeal to the eyes but tastes superb as well. The Cold Press Juice is an 8/10.

Then we ordered for Patatas Bravas which were brilliant. Loved these fried potato cubes laced with tangy marinara sauce, topped with dollops of mayo. An absolutely super perfect finger food to go perfectly well with your favorite drink. 

The next order was Achari Khichdi, a must-must try. The wholesome combination of yellow dal and rice combined with not just whole spices but also onions, garlic and tomatoes imparted a tangy twist to the khichdi making it flavorsome. Served with fryums and freshly cut onion and tomato salad this one is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

For dessert we called for Nutella waffles which was topped with the chocolate powder and some chocolate chips and served with vanilla ice-cream and Nutella! The waffles were soft and fresh and that's how waffles should be!

Wise words- Since these are Grandma's homemade recipes, you can never go wrong. But I would expect the same warmth, love & care you'd feel in her arms, the aroma of her recipes which are passed on from generations. The light you'd see in her eyes when you take a bite with all the excitement. You can almost feel it at their Dadar café, but lacks here. As they say, there's always a next time & perfection comes at the cost of practice.

And...finally the most important & positive thing is to look forward to the perfect and almost pocket friendly pricing for the experience they provide, in comparison to the places nearby burning deep holes in the pocket. A fantastic experience and we are definitely coming back for more . :)
