The Daily All Day Mumbai — Restaurant in Mumbai

Stepping into this place feels like stepping into a greyscale glossy newspaper. They have an extremely powerful monochromatic theme. Everything exudes confidence here, right from their marble topped tables to their strong-backed buffalo printed sofas. With the media nowadays grabbing eyeballs with attention-seeking negativity, this place stands apart with its rows and rows of happily framed newspaper cut-outs hanging from the ceiling and their huge intriguing cage of well wishes. Their food looks master chef pretty. Presentation and class are their primary forte. In the drinks, we had the Moon Maiden. It had a perfect blend of cranberry, ale and the tanginess of lime. You know a drink is good when it has a crackle of an aftertaste to it. This one struck the right chords with the cranberry juice being neither too sweet, nor too sour. All the food here had tiny flavours assimilating together to produce a distinct taste. We also had Midas Touch. It had watermelon, cucumber and anise. This small bomb of a drink was extremely rejuvenating and had a fresh flavour to it. With the watermelon making it a cool summer drink, the cucumber and anise make an extremely hydrating, cold addition. The cucumber and mint were distinct with watermelon complementing their flavour. Coming to the Yellow Mellow, it had a peculiar flavour of pineapple and banana, with the pineapple being the protagonist. It was tangy, yet sweet drink. This was by far one of the most unique combinations we have ever had. The Roast Chicken Salad here had a very smooth taste. They had a base of olive oil and butter blending all the ingredients like soft and spiced julienne chicken, olives, kale leaves, spinach and finely chopped, soft, buttery tomato together. This assortment comes in a thick wooden bowl. The Champagne Mushroom Fricassee had wild mushroom sautéed with champagne. It had a slight, weak and tender cover holding soft vinegered parmesan-cheesy mushrooms within. There was a ketchup sauce splattered on the side with a decor of basil and cilantro leaves. Their tomato sauce felt homemade with a hint of chilly and a blast of flavour. Beer Battered Prawns and Calamari, this had a sider of mayonnaise with super-fine onion chops and coriander in it. There was a crunchy, crispy layer on top, once you get past this, there are moist prawns within. This dish brought a strong mouth-watering aroma of fresh prawns and beer with it. It came in a wooden basket on a lace tissue. The Cottage Cheese Steak which formed an essential part of the food we ate was cooked absolutely brilliantly. The fork just sunk into the cottage cheese making it taste like heaven. The fondue served alongside was creamy cheesy and thick at the same time. The ratatouille served alongside was just the best one we ever had. The Char Cottage Cheese Sandwich also was made brilliantly. It basically had the same fillings as the steak but the bread made it deeper and better and also more succulent. Their presentation skills blew our minds off. We had the Slow Roast Pork with Pineapple and Bird Eye Chili Glaze in Brioche Bread. The bread was thick and slightly toasted. The pork was plain magic. It was sweetened to perfection with the perfect glaze. It was juicy and utterly succulent. This came with fries and a special salad. The salad had really fresh vegetables and was a delight. We also had the Flourless Dark Chocolate Mud Cake. This was a dream. Probably the best dessert we have ever had. The chocolate was rich and insanely soft. It had powdered sugar shower and a slim burnt apple slice on the side with vanilla ice cream topped with a cute cilantro leaf. Mascarpone Almond Crumble was another amazement. This had the softest cream cheese scoops sprinkled with almond bits sided with glazed oranges. The oranges just slid out of their peel. They serve fine food at its best. All in all, this place blew our minds away. Their food, their ambience, their aura is just a class apart. Ambience: 5/5 Taste Quotient:...

The Daily bar and kitchen is a nice centrally located place behind shoppers stop Bandra mainly serving European cuisine.The restaurant is now open for lunch throughout the week as well.

The interiors of this restaurant are eye catchy.Divided in 2 parts. Outdoor seating section( alfresco section) and the other being a/c seating section.Interiors theme go well with the name (The daily) as one will find sheets of paper news hanging at the ceiling of a/c section, on the walls of washrooms as well.The music played here is amazing,Extremely foot tapping.

A striking feature of this place is that although its named Daily Bar. Its just not only a drink place .It also serves good variety of mouthwatering dishes..Basically it has a vast food menu as well.They have variety of vegan options too which is heartening to see.

Special mention for Pooja who has put her heart and soul behind designing the food menu here.She has done a wonderful job.Staff service was good,extremely courteous.The presentation of dishes/mocktails are kept relatively simple but when it comes to the taste food/drinks -Its really good which is one of the reason that even on a weekday night it was packed in an area like Bandra where there are loads of bar/restaurant options for one to choose from

Coming to variety of dishes i tried here

Location: Behind Shoppers Stop, S.V Road, Bandra (W)

Recommendation: Scarecrow Mocktail Oven Roasted Tomato & Olives Stuffed Ravioli Hickory Smoked Chicken & Parmesan Cheese Omlete Pulled Pork Sandwich Nutella Sea Salt Pancakes (Highly Recommended)

Located in a lane just behind Shoppers Stop, The Daily Bar & Kitchen has it's own world filled with Positive Vibes. The reason being the theme of displaying the best joyous daily news framed and hung from ceilings and near the seatings. They have gone an extra mile and taken efforts to even change these news on a specific period of time giving. The mesmerizing monochromatic look with hanging frames, it does take you to another world away from the daily hustle and bustle of the city. They have an outdoor seating as well which was occupied by people attending a painting event happening at this place when we went here on a Sunday for Brunch Yes it is NOW OPENED FOR LUNCH as well. They also have a separate Sunday Brunch Lunch along with a Lunch menu for regular days. The Lunch has limited yet good options and now they have introduced options for Vegans and Vegetarians as well since the regular menu is dominated for Non Vegetarians. We started with the Hickory Smoked Chicken & Parmesan Cheese Omlete. It was the fluffiest Omlete I have ever had It had Chicken pieces inside the folder Omelet and served along with Chili Garlic Sausage, Salad and Toasted Bread. If you have a less appetite then just order it along with their fresh smoothies and you are good to go. All you Egg Benedict Lovers must try it out the one served here. It consisted of two in house breads topped with grilled Bacon, poached eggs served along with Beetroot Hollandaise sauce. The sauce gave it creamy texture and an addicting taste! For mains we ordered for Asian Style Soy Chili Tofu and Oven Roasted & Tomato Olives Stuffed Ravioli The former is good if you are here for a filling food. It consisted of pan seared Tofu cooked in Soy Chili Sauce along with edamame, mushrooms & bell peppers and was served along with basil flavoured steamed rice. I absolutely Liked it! However had it been a bit spicy then it would have been better almost perfect to what I had in mind after reading the name on menu. The Ravioli was the classiest I have ever had! The shape of the Ravioli was so perfect! It was Stuffed with a mixture of roasted tomatoes, olives and pine nuts and perfectly cooked in a chive butter sauce finished with spicy tomato coulis, goat cheese, pine nuts and micro greens. Hands down this was the BEST RAVIOLI I have ever had! We ended our meal with their much talked about dessert - Nutella Sea Salt Pancakes. And now I know why it is so! Fluffy pancakes were Stuffed with Nutella and topped with Maple Cream. The taste was HEAVENLY as it had a prominent saltiness from the Sea Salt which against the sweetness from Nutella worked so well together. It definitely was one of the best desserts to have I can travel miles just to have it! The most highlighting part for me was the freshness of the ingredients used which showcased their charms in a better way. I simply am in love with this place which offers food and service in a very sophisticated way winning your hearts.
