Gables Restaurant — Restaurant in Mumbai

Hi All, I want to give this restaurant a review, I want to keep this public how I got treated with my friend and my aunt. I want to tell you the whole truth so the gables vo worker and owner don't tell some different narrative. So yesterday (August 20, 2023) we were shopping to kolaba's street and my aunt wanted to have a tea for some refreshment we are crosswalking and saw this resto "Gables restaurant" I had bhel poori in my hand o approch to owner that can he make 1 tea without sugar since my aunt is diabetic, and one tea with sugar. he(owner) told that it will take 10-15 minutes since the tea was not ready then I told that would not be an issue. We are sitting you please make it ready. It took the same time he said and bring the tea on table. Just a one sip is enough to tell how the tea was...so pathetic ( sorry to use the word but I really wanted to reflect the emotions of it) my aunt true godsend soul she decided to complete the whole tea as its really not her ethics/morals to keep the beverage/food left what you are paid of and told me that after this we will tell the owner how tea was and give the feedback.

That is what I did I left the table for payment and before the payment I told the owner how tea was and the ingredients it is missing and let me tell about the honest words owner said, ....it's that I gazed at first instance how you people are it seems like you guys are coming the first time in Mumbai, you don't have the standards/ethics to visit the restaurant like us. It seems like you are not willing to pay the bill for tea which is why you are saying and making such remak really Mr gables or joel Fernandes two Cup of Tea which hold the "not so worth" amount of 80 rupees. When the argument started taking a rage my friend had to enter and she told how your words and remarks are narrow and you should really need to clear the garbage you are holding in. A self proclaimed pompous arrogant owner started shouting like mad man as her egoistic personality of how a woman can show me the mirror.. "I pity you you poor soul"... You might make the good cuisine and tasty food or be best in town or best in india (which I highly doubt) . With this experience I wanted people to read and make their own view... Coming to gables was impromptu it's not iike we are planned and bound to be at the place... It's just because wanted a shelter and some much needed refreshment with sudden rain and there not a single soul in the restaurant only the owner and the cook... Later I know the why... There is much to tell as the somewhere in my brain things are not going to fade and I will never forgive how the my friend and my aunt got treated it's is the worst feeling I ever gone through. I told them sorry that I made them go through this... I just want let this out to the world make people to READ... And just visit their and ask that is it true and where is the...

Typical Goan Food and sussegad Feel 😋 Ala Carte Menu and food is freshly made post order, so be prepared for some waiting decent time for food(45 mins +), but once it arrives all the fuss is forgotten and one gets soaken into the tastes 😍

Finally ended our meal with Goa's Homemade Plum Cake (Rum&Wine) - Rs 320/- approx Too Delicious with chunks of plums and decently soft / moist, almost nostalgic

(NB - Do keep in mind its Ala Carte so keep some time in hand and also portions are quite Modest, so if necessary order a bit more in advance than waiting)

Those who love Good & Authentic food need not go all the way to Goa. Its in Colaba itself

Also the Owner / Staff were very cordial and courteous and very willing to adjust and add on as per request.

Worth visiting again and even...

Me and my husband stopped by at this small restaurant in Colaba while shopping at Colaba Causeway. It's nice to see that they employ staff who are older and care about those who need jobs. It had a very homely feeling. The food took a little while to arrive but we realized it was very fresh. Fish that was used in the fish curry had just been bought from Colaba market a few hours ago. This was very good as some other Goan restaurants make the fish curry and leave it in the fridge for days till it gets sold out. The prices very very down to earth (just like the restaurant). Simple, humble workers and owners who are friendly.If you're looking for a restaurant that is uber fancy to impress someone this may not be it, but if you're are going for a meal that is fresh, wholesome, and tasty, this definintely is the place to go! Thanks Gables for the great meal. We will...
