The Laughter Chapter Cafe — Restaurant in Mumbai

"CUTE CAFE WITH GOOD FOOD"

“Laughter is to SOUL what soap is to BODY!”

This is the new kid on the block in the vegetarian-only resto-café scene in Mulund West, a fresh place with a fresh look which was much desired.

They have three advantages; one is location, they are in the close vicinity of one of the happening places in Mulund West; Mulund College of Commerce [MCC], second is the paucity of such a vibrant and young place in the area and third is the right hand side of the menu card; the price. The prices don’t pinch your pocket and can be easily afforded by a college going student.

There is a mystery behind such a unique name which has no link to its business, but I guess they must be propagating the message of “Eat, Laugh & Live” and hence the name.

The café has been tastefully done up with a look of a part café & part pub. The exterior is a mix of all things related to food & laughter. Since the theme is laughter, the entire has photo frames, messages on the wall conveying the same thing. Upon entering the restaurant, you see a bar [juice, in this case] counter with 4 high stools. They have 2 tables to accommodate 2 persons and the others for 4 or more. The far end of the restaurant is white washed and tastefully decorated with photo frames and nicely illuminated with yellow light.

Most of the occupants were young college going students. There was a small group who had dropped in for a celebration and had occupied most of the tables. I had to wait for about 15 minutes before I could get a table of my own.

During the waiting period, I had already gone through the menu card and finalized my order.

JAJAJA – THE MEXICAN BOWL [INR 130] A very nice creation in a bowl and can work as a mini-meal, a nice combination of spice, sour flavour. The salsa sauce was perfect combination of sour tomato base and spicy chili. The sour cream topped on the base of rice and nicely cooked beans worked wonders and the nacho chips gave a crunchy feel. RECOMMENDED.

PANEER SNIGGER [INR 70] Soft chunks of Paneer in a sweetish thick brown sauce [maybe barbeque sauce], topped with finely chopped cabbage in mayonnaise and sandwiched in oblong whole wheat bread roll, toasted slightly. The combination was nice but they should change the shape of the bread used as very little filling could fit in and it started oozing out when I took a bite of it.

POPEYE POTION [INR 60] This item did POP my EYES out. The colour combo was a treat to the photographer. It was served piping hot, right out of the oven albeit after a wait for about 10-15 minutes. One jumbo slice of whole wheat bread was buttered and layered with loads of finely chopped garlic. Later a nice layer of fresh and finely cooked spinach was laid on top. Finally cheese was grated over it and put in the oven for the cheese to melt. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED. One suggestion, they should change or replace they cheese they use. The one used in this dish had a very rubbery feel to it and though it was even spread over the entire surface of the slice, when I took a bite of every slice the entire cheese came off along with the morsel.

MINTY MOJITO [INR 70] A nice cooler made from a lime based carbonated drink with a slice of lemon and mint leaves giving out their flavour to perfection.

Service was good and no problems encountered.

Prachiti & Pratik, the owners of the café are personally involved in each & every step of the day-to-day functioning. Right from clearing the tables, suggesting certain dishes, to taking orders and serving them on the table. Their hand-on approach is applause worthy and shows their involvement in bringing up their baby; the café.

The vibrant ambience, the emphasis on laughter and good food made my visit to TLC a very nice experience. Am I coming back? Certainly; and very soon and will bring along a few foodie friends and cousins too.

When you are walking along this crowded street near Mulund station, there is only one place which stands out. Painted with baby hues, and a super-cute logo, this place has a very casual and chill vibe to it. The cafe is based on the sole theme "laughter is the best medicine." This is exactly the kind of place where you would celebrate a happy occasion. We were there with a bunch of friends to blow off some steam. We started off with their Cheese Garlic Bread. Smeared with a generous amount of garlic paste and cheese atop it, they toasted their breads to a crisp brown. It had a sharp taste of garlic and you would like it only if you enjoy the extra tinge of it. After this, we ordered their JaJaJa Mexican Bowl. This one was an amazing mixture of salsa, refried beans, crisp crumbles of tortilla, sour cream and Mexican flavoured rice. The sourness of salsa with the blend of beans and rice tasted extremely soulful. As far as Mexican cuisine is concerned, it might have deviated a bit but it still managed to tantalize our taste buds. The sour cream added a thick consistency and the salsa gave it a base. This was the best dish we had there. Next one was the Mexican Delight Pizza. Their base size is extremely small and the sauce tasted a bit bland. The cheese and toppings were amazing but the sauce and crisp taste didn’t go well. This one needs a lot of improvement. Coming to their Paprika Pasta, it was a blend of white and red sauces. The taste of paprika was missing and the gherkins overpowered this blend. The pasta tasted good as long as they were warm but later on it started tasting bland. This one again needed a lot of improvement. There was no spice in this dish. Last but not the least, we ordered their Crunchy Oreo Shake. This one was a definite delight. The taste of oreos was perfect. It could have been thicker. Overall, it is a decent place but with some improvements here and there, they could do lot better.
