Foo Bandra — Restaurant in Mumbai

A Disappointing Evening at Foo Bandra Our recent visit to Foo Bandra left us thoroughly underwhelmed and quite frustrated. Despite being told we'd be accommodated without a reservation, the caveat that we needed to vacate our table by 9:45 PM (when it was already 8:40 PM) set a rushed and unwelcoming tone from the start. Trying to enjoy a meal with a baby under such a strict time constraint was challenging enough, but it was made significantly worse by the incredibly slow service. We constantly had to flag down staff to take our orders and then wait excessively for them to arrive.

The ambiance did little to improve our mood; the restaurant was excessively dark and gloomy, making it difficult to even read the menu comfortably.

Adding insult to injury, a hefty 10% service charge was levied on our bill, despite the complete lack of dedicated service. We felt ignored and had to repeatedly call out for assistance, which is simply not what one expects when paying a premium for service.

The food itself was another major letdown. The prices were exceptionally high for the minuscule portions served. A prime example was the "egg fried rice" which seemed to contain almost no egg at all. Beyond the quantity issue, the taste simply did not justify the exorbitant cost. It was mediocre at best, certainly not worth the price tag.

To top it all off, the final bill was presented without any of the usual complimentary mints, paan, or appetisers, which felt like a small but noticeable oversight after such a disappointing experience.

Perhaps the most telling comment came from the liftman himself, who quipped, "Iss hotel mein khaoo and niche hospital mein barti hogaoo" (Eat in this hotel and get admitted to the hospital downstairs) – a remark that, while likely a joke, perfectly encapsulated our overall negative impression.

Overall, Foo Bandra failed to deliver on every front, from service and ambiance to food quality and value for money. We certainly won't...

Thoroughly disappointed at the Service and Food quantity.

You serve a rice dish in a 175ml bowl filled about 75%

Chicken dishes contain approx 60-70g

ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE FOR MONEY OTHER BETTER AND HIGHER RATED RESTAURANTS SERVE APPROPRIATE STANDARD PORTIONS

SHAME ON YOU!!!

After patronising this restaurant for past 3 years , 18 and more dinners , 3 teen parties for my kids - I RATE YOUR RESTUARANT A BIG ZERO….

What’s even worse - I shared this experience with 3 of my colleagues and friends - who have given up on Foo

EXPERIENCE IN 27th December 2024

At 7pm seats offered were lower seats in the middle - when possibly only one other table was occupied At special request upper sofa seats were taken

Following ordered between a family of 4 with 2 young girls

1 Sweet corn soup - abt 135ml 1 Soft shelled crab Sushi - 4 small pcs 1 Szechuan Chicken - 7 thin slices about 60g 1 Yellow Thai Curry - 200ml curry / 5 thin slices about 50g 1 Chilli Chicken 8 thin slices about 70g Two egg fried rice - each filled in a small sized V shaped bowl volume about 150ml About 6 mouthfulls

7 DISHES BETWEEN 4 AND WE HAD TO GO ELSEWHERE TO SATIATE OURSELVES

PITIFUL SERVICE !!!

Each dish was served with LARGE INTERVALS- had to summon waiters 3 - 4 times to serve main course

Waiters were seen wiping dishes 5 feet from our table and splitting soup into two bowls

I have no more words to express ….

CANNOT BLAME CHEF , WAITERS or any employee

This should hit right at the Top Management who runs this circus

I hereby join those who have given up on Foo… Good riddance to MEASLY MEALS AND BAD SERVICE
