The Bombay Cartel — Restaurant in Mumbai

There are days when you don't want to order food at home neither do you want to travel really far. On one such day, we decided to visit this place very close to where I stay! The Bombay Cartel a resto pub is located on Level 3 of the Hubtown Skybay Mall very close to Breach Candy area. The mall also is home to Nitro Gym, Candy and Green and Cafe Filli. Bombay Cartel has been operative since past 4 months or so now and has chic interiors, looks very plush. It is an all veg place primarily looking at the regular clientele around the this place.

A perfect setup for private parties and a cool place to hang out, this place is definitely to watch out for. They run interesting offers during happy hours on alcohol and wines on different days of the week. They have a vast menu and serve Asian cuisine, both oriental as well as Indian along with Continental and Italian. Its impressive to see so many eating options at a place which is primarily a pub. The true vibe of this place can be felt post 11pm when the lights go dim and the volume of music picks up. Bombay Cartel has come up with a great concept of retaining its clients and are open to selling liquor at bottle rates which is usually cheaper than peg format. Here one one can buy a bottle of alcohol of their preference, drink as much as they want and park the bottle with the restaurant, come back and have from the same bottle until it is over. A great idea I believe.

Talking about what all we tried at The Bombay Cartel -

We started with soup - Teppisti Crema a thick broth mushroom soup mixed well with herbs and served along with crouton. Lovely way to begin the meal, I simply loved it highly recommended and must try. Moving to starters, from the quick bites section we had the Pull Apart Masala Pav and Peek-aa-Loo. Peek-aa-Loo is the aloo bomb, stuffed potatoes with chaat filling with vermicelli on top. However the clear favorite has to be the Pull Apart Masala Pav amongst the two. I could actually get the taste and essence of street food maintained in this one. Highly recommended.

Next we tried the Charles' Marbles, Cilantro Cottage Cheese Bites and Spicy Burglary. Amongst these I would definitely recommend to try Charles' Marbles and Spicy Burglary in that order. Former is corn cheese balls marinated with spicy schezwan sauce. An awesome twist given to plain corn cheese balls. And Spicy Burglary were jalapeno poppers in Bombay Cartel style. Cilantro Cottage Cheese Bites definitely needs some rework. The Corriander marination (too much of it) doesn't really work or add to the taste.

To go with food, we ordered for few mocktails - Peru Cremolada, Sky Dive, Tukser and Red Snapper. Amongst mocktails I always prefer ones which have cream in it. Tusker and Sky Dive were my personal favorites. Tusker was a blend of mango and strawberry combined with fresh cream. Sky Dive was a blend of Orange, Blue Curacao and Cream. The other ones which we tried were Peru Cremolada - Guava blended with ice, Tabasco and lime juice and Red Snapper which was fresh watermelon juice shaken with basil with pepper rimmed glass. Both these drinks were also good and one can choose basis their preference.

Moving away from starters, we tried a Roll - Tawa Troll which was paneer tikka roll before moving to the mains. Nicely presented in a dish and cut into pieces. Served with mint chutney. Recommended. From the mains, we tried couple of rice options. Green Thai Curry with Jamsine Rice and Triple Schezwan Fried Rice with Manchurian. Of the two, I preferred Triple Schezwan Rice.

For dessert, we tried Drowning Glory which was gooey dark chocolate cake served in a mug, served warm. A nice way to end our meal All-in-all a nice experience at The Bombay Cartel. Would recommend to pay a visit especially to chill and party with friends or family in case you...

Pull apart masala pav: Pull apart pav(bread) has really nice and amazing variety. Instead of cheese the gravy of pav bhaji was made our day. The little bit of cheese and amazing flavored bhaji had left really great taste.

Chana Jor garam Nachos: This fusion of chana jor garam and the cheese is a must try dish. Instead of nachos, the big pieces of chana jor Garam was fab. To have with the cheese. The dish had got really nice spicy flavors. The refreshing flavors were really amazing. Highly recommended.

Along with it we had a drinks and shakes. The drinks we really amazing the creamy flavors and the presentation was really good. The hot todi was also a nice option to have with the meal. Also we had Ferrero with sneakers, nicely presented shake with sneakers on top and good amount of chocolate. The shake could have been little more thick. Otherwise the taste and sweetness was good.

The desserts have really limited options but you can definitely try their Sizzling brownie. The brownie had a nice flavors. Being a chocolate lover and sweet tooth really liked the dessert. Also they had caramelized popcorns in it.
