South Bombay Bar — Restaurant in Mumbai

As the name suggests, a high end premium restaurant located in Atria Mall next to Matahari on level 4, South Bombay Bar was the place I wanted to revisit so eagerly. Had a fabulous experience last time around and it was no different this time around as well. I love the ambiance of the place, well spread, spacious, everyone gets their privacy, yet you always feel right in between action all the time. Just loved how they have painted the ceiling with the map of South Mumbai and well illuminated wall depicting CSTM building structure. A nice mix of high tables, couple tables, comfortable sofa seating, regular tables and chairs section for large groups, just a very well planned layout I must say.

Talking about what all I tried here at South Bombay Bar, I actually just loved everything that was called for -

We started with few appetizers - Mexican Potatoes, Cheese Chilli Garlic Bread and Cheesy Jalapeno Stuffed Mushrooms. I just loved all three of them, but a word of caution for the Mexican Potatoes. Extremely rich in flavours but the Mexican spices also do their wonder. So it's really spicy. We actually asked the chef to tone down the spices, but we still felt it was quite spicy. So those who are in love with spice, this is your treat. I am a big fan of mushrooms and when it's jalapeno and cheese stuffing, it's heavenly. Don't miss this if you eat mushrooms. Last but not the least, we feel you can't go wrong with a chilli cheese toast, but you need to get it right. And that's what you will get here, a safe bet Always.

Along with food, called for couple of drinks - one of my favorites again - Date and Saffron Frappe. I don't think you get this anywhere else and somewhere it's definitely worth travelling and coming here perhaps just for this. Must must try! Also tried the Rosemary Watermelon Iced Tea. Fresh Watermelon is always good to have and a nice blend by the bar tender. Moving on to the mains, we tried the Paneer Londonwala Meal (Tikka Masala gravy) and called for Parathas as our Indian bread option. Just loved this Paneer vegetable one of the best. Meal comes along with papad. Beautiful presentation! After this meal, we had the Dhabewali Dal Khichdi, perfectly made. Light on stomach.

Finally, for desserts - we had Sexin A Tea Pot! Interesting name but I was excited to have this gooey chocolate with vanilla Ice-cream and Orange Zest. That orange flavour right towards the end was super refreshing. Their desserts menu is fabulous - next time around I look forward to having the Blueberry Kulfi and Pinnacotta. Hopefully soon will visit once again. Amazing...

It is located in a corner of Atria Mall, propped up right next to the Matahaari Club and it has all the elements to call itself a "South Bombay" bar. The place is huge and it has a huge bar set up right in the middle of it. We were here for a birthday dinner and it was pretty impressive.

First, we ordered the Tomato Sesame Chutney Paneer Tikka. It was spicy with a flavor of tomato and quite soft. It was grilled to perfection and served with a side of mint chutney.

Next was the Cheesy Jalapeno Stuffed Mushroom. The mushrooms were soft and juicy with a spice of jalapenos and the warmth of cheese. It was chunky and delicious.

The Sriracha Paneer Bao, however, was pretty okay. Three pieces were served and it was literally just the paneer marinated in sriracha stuffed in the Bao. There could be a few more elements to this one. The lettuce strands gave it a crunch but apart from that, it wasn't that great.

We ordered the Malta Orange Mojito to go with our meal and it was heavenly. The flavour of Malta orange made it so much better and it had the correct balance of sweet and sour. It was served in cute bottles of yellow and orange and it tasted equally delicious.

The Masala Fries were a great filler in between the meals and it was served with a spicy sauce which made it even better.

Their Mains are served with a side of bread and papad and are more like a meal for one. We ordered the Paneer Londonwala and the Achari Paneer. Both of them, despite being paneer dishes had a distinct flavor and a very different taste. The Achari Paneer had a more tangy and chatpata flavor whereas the Paneer Londonwala was loaded with spice and also veggies. The taste and quality were both, amazing. The quality of bread served was great and it was a pretty good one overall.

For our dessert, we tried the Kachi Kairi Cheesecake and the Tiramisu. The Kachi Kairi Cheesecake was truly a unique one and it had a distinct flavor of raw mango and was topped with it too! It is definitely not everyone's cup of tea as the cheesecake turned out to be gelatinous in texture. It didn't taste exactly like an authentic cheesecake, the restaurant could improve this.

The Tiramisu was pretty good in quantity and quality. Four lady fingers were served with layers of mascarpone and chocolate loaded with coffee. It was warm, soulful and as delicious as a classic could get!

Overall, the place is pretty great and has a range of dishes to choose from. Head here for a fun filled evening with your squad and you won't be disappointed for sure.
