BORA BORA Juhu — Restaurant in Mumbai

Visited this place last Monday with a friend for a buffet and checkout there Roulette spinner.

The restaurant is situated at very famous location, Right on the shore of Juhu beach well not exactly, You need to cross the road to get there from the beach. It's right in front of Domino's and in the same premise of Tap resto bar. It gives a decent view of Juhu Beach from their 1st floor. Though all the food items are self service, You would only require staff if you want to try out their Bar section. Yet staff was friendly enough. Upon getting comfy on the table, they give all the instructions about all the food counters, Their roulette campaign and everything else that you need to know to have a wonderful evening there.

Roulette consists of a number from 0 to 36 and whatever the number comes up everyone present can get the discount in percentage of that amount on the drinks that are displayed on screen. We were even told if the number is less than 5 they would spin again. They spin it every hour, And the numbers that came up that day were 31, 28 & 28 which was as they said is the first time they got this high numbers on a night.

Coming to buffet, They have a chat counter which serves PaniPuri & SevPuri. They also have a live starters counter which serves 3 veg and 3 non veg starters. Around 8 salad items and other than that around 12-16 items covering other continental starters, Main Course and Desserts. Didn't try any salad or you can say forgot to even try any as I had more delicious options.

Chaat counter was as expected amazing, There were three kinds of water for Panipuri:- sweet and spicy, Orange & Guava. Orange & Guava were new to have with PaniPuri, So i had to had couple of them to get used to have them with Panipuri ka puri:). Though I liked the regular one more.

Moving to their live starter counter, There was "Paneer Bao" which was the yummiest bao I tried. Very tasty so if it is one of the option on your visit, GO for it. Other one was "Green Peas Tikki Chaat" which were also good in taste and soft as it should be. Third one was like a spring roll, But with a lot of cheese and veggies as fillers, Not exactly spring roll but had a presented like them. All 3 were superb, But i liked most the Bao and Tikki one.

Coming to buffet they had yummy "Leek Cheese Ball", "Farmers Veg Pizza", "Assorted Bread", "Butter Corn Rice", "Parsley Potato", "Stuffed Zucchini", "Farfalle Creamy Saffron", "Saute Vegetable", "Chimichuri Cottage Cheese", "Spicy Grilled Sausage" for vegeterians and few Desserts.

Out of this I only tried my favourite cheesy cheese ball, Which were as good as it should be. "Farmers Veg Pizza" was also very well baked and had perfect toppings. But if you don't finish it fast it gets cold once you get to your table and then it becomes a little hard to finish it. Tried one of the "Assorted Bread", It was one of the like jelly breads I used to eat when I was small, Loved it. "Parsley Potato" was a boiled potato with some spices, Which was not a lot spicy and i felt it didn't taste as good as it should be. "Chimichuri Cottage Cheese" was...

Eazydinner/Swiggy/Zomato users : Restaurant say 15% discount on entire bill but in real it's 5% here's how:

I heard a great deal about this place. We went to this place with family recently. It had a great ambiance and the decor was nice, instaworthy I must say but all that glitters are not gold.

The food looked delicious but didn't taste the same (Instaworthy). It took time to serve food even when there were limited no. of customers. A few food items which were mentioned on the menu were not available on the day. It was a hot day in the name of service and they had only a ceiling fan. Food prices were on the higher side which we accounted for given the facilities it wasn't up to the mark e.g 20rs water bottle they charged Rs 80. Looking at the price it's evident they are charging for the service and over it we did not have to pay. Based on this we decided to not pay service charges.

What made the experience worse was the service charge issue. Instead of providing a physical bill upfront, they directly approached us with a card-swiping machine with list of total items we ordered and total amount with no breakup, which felt suspicious. Upon requesting a physical bill, they were reluctant and only then disclosed the added 10% service charge. When we refused, citing that service charges are not mandatory by law, they argued and insisted on payment as they mentioned on wall we levy 10% service charges , even threatening that we wouldn’t be able to pay via Swiggy, Zomato, or EazyDiner if we didn’t comply. After a long argument, we had no choice but to pay.

This was a highly disappointing and frustrating experience. Overpriced items, poor service, and forced service charges make me reconsider visiting again. I hope the management takes customer feedback seriously and improves their billing transparency and service quality.

If you are someone who wants to take your family for dinner at a decent budget keeping great discount in mind then this is not a...

Party by the beach!!

Bora Bora juhu is definitely a place to be to chill, unwind and have an amazing evening with friends, family! Went here with school friends for a dinner and we really had a great time.

I took the beach facing table and can't tell how amazing it was with all that cold breeze! Mr. Bryan who was taking care of our table was an excellent person! So polite and jolly, his recommendations were really good! Service at this place is really perfect.

To start with we had some mocktails, blue lagooo and sweet dreams! Blue lagoon was regular soda based mocktail. Sweet dreams is something I definitely recommend, it was cranberry base tangy and refreshing drink.

Coming to food, everything was perfect according to me. We tried dim sums, Tequila fired cottage cheese and Pavbhaji!

Dimsum - perfectly steamed corn and broccoli Dimsums served with spicy dips. Stuffing was crisp and well tossed with herbs. Dips were on Spicer side which doubled the taste of Dimsums.

Tequila Fired cottage cheese - fresh and soft paneer chunks tossed very well with the sweet and spicy sauce. It had that tanginess along with the spice! Presentation was really beautiful. Treat to eyes!

Pavbhaji - at juhu Beach and not having pavbhaji how's that possible. We ordered the pav bhaji fondue and it definitely satisfied our taste buds. Those mini buns were really soft and so well buttered! Bhaji was spicy with that crunch of fresh veggies topped with butter. It was satisfying.

To complete this amazing dinner we went for Philadelphia cheese cake, spongy and fresh cheese cake. Delighted with this one.

Overall, Bora Bora is definitely a must visit place, the location itself brings relaxing vibes and that coupled with refreshing drinks and lip smacking food makes this place a must visit one. We had a great evening...
