Boveda Bristro — Restaurant in Mumbai

Strings of tiny orange-yellow lights peeked at us from behind a delicate wooden framework. Peppy, classical music made the place thick with a happy air, adding more to just that extra something in the ambience we couldn't place a finger on. We decided to try the Baked Beans on Toast and we were extremely delighted by our choice. The bread was done just perfectly where it was neither too crispy nor too soft. It complimented the beans most appropriately. The beans had a tangy sweet sour taste with a hint of garlic which made them really worth a meal. They also had baked tomatoes and mushrooms as sides which were impeccably soft as well as spiced with pepper and herbs thus completing the dish. We had their Eggs Benedict with Bacon. This was very elegant with a base of sweetened bun, topped with salty bacon over each, the Egg Benedict rested. The Egg Benedict was oozing out rich liquid yellow yolk and it was edged by the fluffiest white. Everything was topped with Spinach leaves! We also tried the Waffles which were correctly hard as well as a little crispy on the outside, and extremely soft and sweet on the inside. They were topped with Dusted Icing Sugar. The waffles were served with sides of maple syrup, whipped cream and banana caramel with classic lemon crème brulee. The taste of caramel in the banana caramel was a little less. However, the waffles were baked to perfection which gave them a perfect tinge of tempting baked brown colour. One of their intriguing sandwiches was the Plum Tomato, Mozzerella, Collorosso, Basil Pesto, Balsamic Reduction Sandwich. It had an exotic flavour of the balsamic reduction which was the essence of the sandwich. The collorosso was the softest and it blended along with the balsamic and the plum and tomato juices. The crisp was added by kale and the lettuce which balanced the soft and sloppy tomatoes. The bread was fresh with flour dust. Although their fries could have been better, their presentation topped it all. We also had Prawns with Basil. The prawns were nice and juicy. They come with a strong garlic and paprika base. Their presentation is spot on. The prawns stayed true to themselves with a remainder of a bit of a shell at the end. We also had Paprika Chicken. This came with a thick paste of mint chutney. They came on long wooden stems and tasted strongly like paprika. Their quantity for this dish is generous. We had quite a bunch of mocktails too. The star drink was Black Vanilla. It stole our hearts at the first sip. Vanilla flavoured strawberry shake along with some hidden secret elements definitely made this one drool worthy. It was topped with cream and the vanilla just caught the correct flavour. Although oreo and mint isn't that great a combination but when we tried their Mint Oreo Milkshake, they quite nailed it too. To begin with, the taste was a bit high on the mint but towards the end with the oreo overpowering it, it turned out to be extremely tasty. Coming to the Elderflower and Blueberry Iced Tea, the strong essence of elderflower was definitely overpowering. This one was extremely refreshing and quite certainly stirred us up. Moving forward to the desserts, we were served Tiramisu. Tiramisu was delicious. It was amazing with just the right amount of coffee in those creamy, frothy layers. The presentation again was beautiful with the top of the tiramisu dot layers plucked for design. The Gooey Chocolate Brownie was heaven on a plate. We think we might have just found the softest, gooeist and the most mouth-watering brownie. Our spoons just sunk into it and this one definitely did melt into our souls. All in all, this place will definitely leave you smiling with its infectiously happy aura. Their food has genuine taste. Their service could be a touch better. Would we recommend it? Most definitely! This should be on one's bucket list. Ambience: 5/5 Taste Quotient:...

We visit various restaurants for various reasons; some for the fabulous food they serve, some for the experience, some for events, some for the drinks & sometimes we just tag along with friends. What if all this comes under a single roof and one gets a bit of everything.

Located in the midst of the business district of Andheri, off the New Link road is this place named BOVEDA [pronounced as Bo Vay Dah]. A quick search on Google revealed that the word is synonymous with “Vault” in Spanish. What an apropos name for the place!

This place is indeed a vault which holds within itself loads of surprises, good food & drinks, some activities that keep happening around the week, art, music etc. It’s been 2 ½ years since they started shop and they have gained a name within that short span of time. From the moment you step inside the wooden gates, the place gives out vibes of energy and rawness.

Service was with warm, attentive and quick. We were personally attended by Saqib Duggal who made sure we had the best food and served at appropriate intervals.

The place was pretty empty when we walked in at around 8 pm but by the time we were winding up; by 9.30 pm, people were walking-in in good numbers. This energetic and rustic place has ticked most boxes on my list and is sure to be liked for one or various reasons.

MUST HAVE: Cottage Cheese Picata Smoked Cheese & Spinach...

They say “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” Oh how true is this for Boveda! The food and the ambience used to be good earlier, but now they've taken it up to a whole new level! Would highly recommend the place. Every dish and every cocktail we tried were good and well crafted. Loved the interiors. Real classy and pleasing to the eye. Warm lighting and colourful decor!

The place is welcoming for the young as well for a family get together. This place has an outside seating area as well so you can sit where it suits you. Glad one can get pancakes and waffles all day! The food is utterly delicious and makes you want to come back. Recommended dishes:

1. Smoked vegetable burger

2. Quinoa tabbouleh salad

3. Four cheese...
