Went to Bacana today and everything was incredible! I love how the focus is more on food and at reasonable prices. The decor is quirky and the service is fantastic. The food here is reimagined, flavourful and in sync with the vibe! Makes sense coming from a chef who has worked at a Michelin starred restaurant eh? While everything was exceptional, if I had to tell you to pick a few - I’d recommend the Tambdi Bhaji Patta Chaat and the Sweet Corn Dangar for the vegetarian starters and the fermented chilli garlic prawns and cafreal mutton bheja fry for non vegetarians.

I wish we'd have had space for dessert, but we were too full. 100% going back and taking more friends along.
Top notch vibes overall, and the service was very warm and also very...
