Butterfly High — Restaurant in Mumbai

APPETIZERS Tex Mex Tandoori Mushrooms Tex Mex Tandoori Mushrooms were a unique and delicious experience. The flavor fusion worked surprisingly well, and the textures were delightful. If you're looking for something adventurous and flavorful, I highly recommend giving them a try! • Mushroom Magic: The mushrooms themselves were cooked to perfection. They were tender but not mushy, absorbing the marinade beautifully. The smoky char from the tandoori spices added another layer of complexity. • Texture Tango: The combination of soft mushrooms and crisp cilantro garnish was delightful. It added a refreshing touch to the overall richness of the dish.

MAIN COURSE Chettinad Paneer with Mini Naan: A Spicy South Indian Dream My taste buds embarked on a delightful journey to South India recently, thanks to the Chettinad Paneer with Mini Naan dish I devoured. Let me tell you, it was an explosion of flavor and texture! • Flavor Frenzy: The Chettinad masala stole the show. The aromatic blend of spices like black pepper, coriander, chili, and curry leaves offered a complex heat that lingered pleasantly on the palate. The creamy paneer soaked up the masala beautifully, creating tender morsels bursting with flavor. • Naan Nirvana: The mini naans were the perfect companions. Soft and fluffy yet with a satisfying slightly charred exterior, they were ideal for scooping up the flavorful paneer and soaking up the remaining masala. The portion size of the mini naans was perfect, allowing you to savor the flavors without feeling overwhelmed. • Textural Twister: The contrast between the creamy paneer and fluffy naan was delightful. Each bite offered a satisfying textural interplay that kept things interesting. The portion was amazing of the gravy, the only thing was we felt short off was only two naans served. We ordered more to finish the gravy.

We didn't devour dessert since we were very full but the drinks and main course. They gave us more gingerbreads after request of one.

AMBIENCE: Step inside the restaurant, and the Christmas spirit washes over you. The air is warm and comforting, infused with the sweet scent of cinnamon, pine, and maybe even a hint of gingerbread. Twinkling lights draped across the ceiling and windows cast a warm glow, reflecting off the festive decorations. Garlands of evergreen, adorned with red berries and sparkling ornaments, snake along the exposed brick walls and mantlepiece. A large Christmas tree, adorned with colourful baubles and a twinkling star, stands proudly in the corner, drawing admiring glances. Christmas carols, both classic and contemporary, play softly in the background, creating a joyful atmosphere without being overwhelming. The chatter of diners mingles with the gentle clinking of silverware and glasses, creating a sense of warmth and conviviality. Centrepieces of poinsettias or miniature Christmas trees add a touch of vibrant colour and also hand-written menus with festive greetings.

We visited during Xmas time however the review...

Prior reservation is recommended as it was full even on a Thursday night.

Here's what we had-

DRINKS

1. Sparkling Margarita- A classic & most popular cocktail to have at Butterfly High. Cocktail was made from Tequila, Sula brut, agave syrup, passion fruit syrup & lime juice. One cocktail was enough to give a kick. Highly recommended.

Ya Ya Yo- This mocktail was gut friendly as mentioned. It was made up of Yakult & watermelon juice. It was good.

APPETIZER

Exotic crispy veg bao- (Jain) Very few places you get Jain Bao. Loved the stuffing of the butter bao. Highly recommended.

Ghee roast mushroom Its a classic dish with crispy mushrooms cooked in a spicy gravy and loads of ghee. If you love spicy then this is a must order.

MAINS

Country style curry leaf paneer with Malabar paratha - Its served just like a pizza which has a base of Malabar Paratha topped with delicious creamy gravy with cottage cheese. The quantity is enough for 2 persons.

Chilli pan tossed noodles- (Jain) Noodles tossed with exotic vegetables in chilli oil. It was just perfect with right amount of seasoning. It was medium spicy & portion size was decent enough. Only if they could add an option of wheat noodles that would be better.

DESSERTS

Hazelnut pistachio Baklava- This is unlike your regular Baklava with a twist in filling. The filling was made from hazelnut and chocolate brownie. The presentation was on point. The dessert tasted good but it missed that feeling of Balkava with loads of pistachio inside the crispy...

Butterfly High at Lower Parel is a delightful culinary destination offering a fusion of global flavors with a creative twist. Here's what we tried and loved:

Drinks LIIT Classic & LIIT Apple: Both cocktails were perfectly balanced, with the LIIT Apple offering a refreshing fruity kick that set the tone for the meal.

Starters Manchow Soup: Warm and comforting with just the right amount of spice, this soup was a great start to the meal. Stuffed Mushrooms: These were a highlight! Juicy, flavorful, and packed with a delicious filling that left us wanting more. Pan Asian Prawns: The prawns were cooked to perfection and coated in a tangy, umami-rich sauce that hit all the right notes.

Mains Malaysian Lamb Korma: This dish was a showstopper. The lamb was tender, and the korma sauce was rich and aromatic, served with soft, perfectly cooked bread. Thai Junglee Curry: Bursting with flavors of fresh herbs and spices, this dish was a hearty and satisfying treat for Thai food lovers.

Verdict Butterfly High impresses with its vibrant ambiance, impeccable service, and a menu that caters to diverse palates. The cocktails and fusion dishes make it a must-visit spot for a fun night out or a casual dinner.
