Bistro & Brew Cafe | Best Cafe in Kandivali — Restaurant in Mumbai

Have you thought as to why do people eat out? Home food is fresh, healthy and most cost-efficient when compared to its restaurant version. Still, people pay to eat something prepared by someone they do not know at a facility which they have not seen.

The most common reason is to refresh the palate. People always want to taste something which they do not eat usually at home. And eating out has a huge social angle to it. An eating place can also be cozy and comfortable where you can meet friends, spend time with family, enjoy the warmth of someone special or simply sit alone and clear your mind of daily clutter. Wouldn't it be nice if all of these came along with piped music, books, card and board games, free internet, the Tom & Jerry show, English Premier League and a hammock?

Yes, such a place actually exists... in Mumbai, in Kandivali. Bistro and Brew (aka B&B) is a small and peaceful cafe on the Ashanagar Road in Thakur Complex in Kandivali(E). It specializes in Italian and Mexican cuisines and serves a variety of food and drinks.

A good eatery attracts customers not just for its menu and services - each one has a soul. The moment you step in, you will connect with that soul and get that feeling, "Ah! Just my kind of place!". That is the same vibe you enter B&B - you feel welcome immediately and will want to spend time even if you are not hungry. Such is the magic of this place that even if people are talking loudly around you, your circle of peace is not disturbed - quite unlike a McD or a KFC.

What do you get in B&B? This is a pure vegetarian cafe whose menu has many categories. Pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, shakes, coolers and brews are just some of them. And the cafe also takes special care to prepare Jain food for customers who avoid garlic, onion and other root vegetables.

Some of their popular offerings are: Exotic Loaded pizza Peri-Peri Paneer pizza Spicy Cilantro Pesto pizza Pink Sauce Fusion pasta Mumbai Masala Toast Cheese Garlic Pull Apart Mocha, Hazel Nut, Irish (hot brews) Affogato (cold brew) Lemon Grass, Elaichi (cardamom), Ginger-Pudina (ginger-mint) and many other tea varieties coolers like Blue Lagoon, Mint Mojito ... and these constitute less than 16% of their full menu!!!

What keeps B&B customers satisfied? Based on this reviewer's observations: procurement from reputed vendors dips are made in-house hygiene of the kitchen well-trained staff clear preparation processes rigorous food tasting before an item makes it to the menu customer preferences are considered for new menu items feedback taken sensibly and seriously

B&B have started serving desserts too, though in a limited scale. So after a hearty snack, if you want a cool sweet finish, there are double scoop vanilla ice cream and hazelnut brownie to order from.

Next time you are craving for good food and ambience, remember B&B. And they have just started selling their own brand of coffee beans too! Feel free to inquire at the cafe.

The cafe has seating for 14 adults in its AC enclosure and 12 in the fresh air foyer overlooking Ashanagar Road. The furniture are simple yet classy and never looks overwhelming. It gives that quiet and cozy feel which you will love. ##################

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Bites & Brews cafe and I must say, it was one of the best dining experiences I have ever had! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted warmly by the staff and invited to take a seat. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with beautiful decor that complimented the ambiance.

First and foremost, I have to mention the quality of the food. The menu was impressive, offering a variety of dishes that catered to all palates. My personal favorite was the Indie Sauce Pizza and Paneer Tikka Pizza – it was simply exquisite. The food was cooked to perfection, with each ingredient complimenting the other perfectly. What's even more impressive is that all of the ingredients used were fresh and locally sourced.

One thing that really stood out to me was the impeccable service that was provided. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure that my meal was an enjoyable experience. They were knowledgeable about the dishes and offered great recommendations, which made the ordering process even easier.

Overall, my experience at Bites & Brews was nothing short of fantastic. The food, service, and ambiance were top-notch, and I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes...
