Zenzi

Waterfield Road
Bombay (Mumbai)

The owners of the brilliant Vakzuid Bar in Amsterdam are co-owners of this just-opened gem in Mumbai's happening Bandra. Who said globalisation was a bad idea? A classy lounge bar and restaurant, your food is a selection of rich and spicy French, Thai, Japanese and Indonesian cuisine best enjoyed with some of the finest wines in the city - many from South Africa. But it's the sumptuous glass-paned, wood-floored lounge area that you really want to spend most of your time, packed as it is with hordes of leggy Bombabes - local models, actresses and TV stars - sipping specialty cocktails from the sultry sofas while their boys sample a variety of Dutch and Indian beers. Your soundtrack is a mix of soothing western and Hindi tunes. Mumbai is the New York of the sub continent and it's getting just as global. Go Zenzi!

The Taj Lands End Bandra Mumbai

We had a conference here. The facilities were amazing. The lighting arrangement inside the pillarless ballroom was just great. The place was large enough to sit some 100 people. the best part here was the food. We loved Shepherd's Pie, a mutton preparation. The only black spot was that during our conference, we were disturbed more than once by noise from TV outside. The view outside is terrific as it stands on Bandstand, where all young couples of Bombay go!!

Great view and equally great service.

Theme: Hotel

Price: US$120-180

Comparison: most expensive

Directions: Ask the taxi driver to take you to Bandstand in Bandra. It's very close to Shah Rukh Khan( a star of Indian Cinema)'s residence.

China House at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai

China House at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai



Launched in May 2007, China House is a new and unique paradigm to dining and lounging in the city of Mumbai. Located on a separate level, the multi-level lounge is the perfect setting for intimate lounging and conversation, whether over dinner, or for pre-dinner drinks or late night cocktails.

The main feature of the lounge is the centre, island-style LED light bar, with an array of bottles and unconventional glassware that appear suspended on large glass shelves overhead. Avant-garde interiors form a part of the single private room, while semi-private booths with plush oversized armchairs and open spaces add to the space as the music lingers in the air. The in-house signature beverages, from the classics to the unique after-dinner cocktails, enhance the feel of the lounge even further.

Located on the mezzanine level is “I deck”, the private area which is minimally lit and akin in decor to a private lounge. This relaxing retreat offers the perfect setting to linger after dinner over a fine single malt or to celebrate an occasion with a few near and dear ones. And, if the mood takes them, guests can break away from the seductive atmosphere, switch gears and connect to their own I-pod, listen to their own music and sink into the mesmerising feel of being in their own arena. After all, the “I deck” is all about your unique personality.
Multi-faceted in spirit, the China House lounge area serves as a versatile retreat and the ideal place to linger after dinner over a drink, or to party to the music spun by the in-house DJ.

They seemed to have done most things right - beautiful decor, the menu has the right apprach, the ambience is great, the location even great. But guess what? IT. DOES. NOT. WORK.

I want to like this place, and I will definitely come back to give it another shot.

But let me make a short list of areas of opportunity for them:
1. Not enough light to read the menu.
2. Dangerous walkways, side lighting that actually HIDES steps from your view.
3. Bad Menu layout for the Drink Menu. You can't tell the difference between the drink NAME and ingredients.
4. It took about 25 minutes for appetizers.
5. Poor service all around
6. Closes early on weekends????
7. Turned off lights when the restaurant was closed, even though customers were still there?

The waiter informed us that the kitchen would be closing in 15 minutes as soon as we arrived. That's fine - a bit disappointing, but fine. We decided to look at the menu and hurry up to order. Unfortunately, the waiter spent the entire 15 minutes hovering over us and asking multiple times if we were ready to order. Gimme a break dude, there is no light and I can't even read the menu.

We ordered our food and he ran away. Finally, about 10 minutes later, we found him again so that we could place a DRINK ORDER!

The food took forever to come out. Here's the long and short of it:

- Mixed Grill kabob appetizer: Shitty. Don't bother.
- Non Veg Caesar Salad: delicious and welcome, as a good salad is (unfortunately) a rare find in Bombay.
- Chicken & Celery gyoza: steamed not fried. Standard, nothign special.
- Lamb Pasta: delicious.
