Kaffeine: Cafe & Kitchen — Restaurant in Mumbai

Zomato:

We decided to re-visit this place because we had loved the ambiance and the air-conditioning in there. This place is similar to the plethora of cafes that have opened up recently consisting of various board games. This place does have several F&B options in their menu. After reading their extensive menu repeatedly, we decided to order two dishes and one moctail:

1. Dauphinoisee It is a french dish of sliced potatoes baked in milk and baked with a truck load of cheese. Their rendition of this dish was disappointing as some 🥔 pieces were raw. The cheese sauce was good and the dish would have been decent had the potatoes been cooked well. If you're a Turophile(A connoisseur of cheese) you might like this, if you're someone who loves eating raw potatoes then you might loveeee this dish.

Rating: 1.5/5

2. Kaffeine Special Sizzler Now we have never really understood on what basis restaurants select their "Chef's special" dishes as there are about 7-8 chef's special dishes at this one. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏾‍♂️ Having said that, this sizzler had a few good things going it's way. The herb rice was delicious and the two pieces of vegetable cutlets were filled with cheese and prepared well. The big let down for us was the pink sauce penne pasta. It was a tad sweet and didn't go well with the sautéed vegetables and herb rice. Overall the dish was decent but it is surely overpriced as the size of the sizzler is smaller than the usual ones(Rs.430)

Rating: 2.5/5

3. Virgin Mojito🍸 This can be seen in the coolers section of the menu. It was good and after being outside in the scorching heat, we needed something refreshing so we decided to try this. We liked the concentration used in the drink and it was a refreshing...

Kaffeine, which was earlier located next to vijay sales on sv road, is revamped and moved to the current place in shimpoli with a larger area and modern ambience which is very welcoming.

It offers indoor and outdoor seating, and a pretty good menu items (only veg).

Tried the below items:

Pesto Hummus with Pita

-It was decent, and we had to order extra pita to finish the hummus.

Creamy Mushroom and caramalized onion sandwich

-The dish is good but the quantity and stuffing is very less for the price. I also feel if they add spinach to this, it would taste even better, but thats just my personal opinion as I have had pizza with this same combination and loved it.

Tres Leches

Its a sponge cake soaked in mixture of 3 types of milk. The presentation was good and lives up to its name

Cinnamon Chai

-Was happy to see this than the usual masala, ginger, cardamom and lemongrass tea. Served with couple of Parle G biscuits.

Classic Koffrappee

It's basically a Coffee Frappe. Served with cookie.

Overall, it's a great cafe in Borivali and offers a wider veg food menu compared to Starbucks and Thirdwave. But it's slightly expensive and the quantity is less for the price.

Edit - changed overall rating from 4 to 2, and service rating from 4 to 2. Visited on Thursday night(not even friday or weekend), they had 2 big tables and 3 four person tables empty, but still told us only high chairs are available since we were only 2, which spoiled the mood and we decided to walk out, as the priority should have been given to customers who are already present rather then reserve for customers who may or...

Kaffeine- Kaffeine is an upcoming multicuisine place boasting incredible continental, chinese and Indian fusion cuisine.

Ambinace is lovely. They offer multiple seatings options both outdoor and indoor. We occupied window side table for the street view. I really like their wall stickers with animals personating as humans. Their menu is diversed which offer classic as well as adventurous dishes like sobo cheese chilly maggie. Prices are pocket friendly & a perfect place to hangout with friends.

Analysis Berry Blue- blueberry centric layered mocktail, refreshing drink paired well with their appetizers.

Be Peachilicious- their speciality mix of cranberry and peach, diluted with soda. Presentable and prepared well.

Thai coconut curry- warm thai soup with thin noodles, exotic veges and kafir lime. Really good taste.

Creamy mushroom and caramelized onion sandwich- Chef’s special sandwich comprising creamy button mushroom, lettuce and caramelized onion. Paired with salad and salted fries. Amazing combination.

Mix sauce pasta- irresistibly creamy pasta with mix sauce and parmesan cheese. Delicious taste.

Paneer lababdar and garlic naan- tomato onion based curry studded with soft cubes of paneer and inhouse spices. Paired with garlic naan. Really good presentation and flavourful dish filled with cashews.

Really great space to spent quality time with your loved ones...
