U Turn Sports Bar — Restaurant in Mumbai

THE WHY AND THE HOW

As is the norm, browsing on Zomato lead us to a restaurant, U-Turn in this case. The menu looked interesting, and with option of Zomato Pay available, we booked a table for lunch.

Mumbai was having a pleasant weekend by March's standards, nevertheless, we chose an indoor table over the open-air rooftop seating. The table and the chairs were quite basic, that's not to say they were uncomfortable. Bollywood music filled the air, without intruding conversations. Though the restaurant eventually started filling up as our meal went on, initially ours was the only occupied table. That meant the (almost) one-man-army staff sufficed, for our attendant doubled up as the bartender, or perhaps it was the other way round.

IN MY GLASS 🍹

Long Island Iced Tea - One of the best I've had, plenty of booze, rum in particular, and not too much ice meant this all time classic was a delight to sip. Highly recommended.

The Blue Sky - A vodka concoction, with curacao I suspect given the blue colour, this was another winner. Also served with less ice, hence little dilution. A must try for vodka lovers.

ON MY PLATE 🍽️

Lemon Grass Chilli Paneer - Average dish, had a subtle lemon grass flavour, but the paneer wasn't soft enough, nor was it spicy as the name suggested.

Crunchy Chicken - Minced meat in diamond shaped fried crust, the thinness of the pieces meant there wasn't much chicken to bite into. The crust was quite crisp, but didn't provide the satisfaction of eating meat.

Mushroom Chilli with Fried Rice - Gravy filled with veggies like broccoli, capsicum, mushroom and baby corn coupled with fried rice made for an excellent mains. The rice by itself was tasty, the chilli gravy only enhanced it further. Worth a shot for fans of the Oriental cuisine.

Brownie - Served hot, very chocolatey. Solid on the outside and mushy on the inside, was a nice way to round up the lunch.

TO SUM UP THEN

U-Turn has more hits than misses, getting many things right. The starters were rather unimpressive, but all the rest was quite commendable. The cocktails especially were top notch, and not expensive either. Portion sizes, of both starters and mains, were reasonable making this place good value for money. The service was friendly and helpful, though not the quickest.

In my opinion, this is more of a drinking place than a lunching place, I suppose the evenings here would have a great atmosphere, the rooftop in particular, to guzzle...

⚫U TURN - THE LOUNGE ● LOCATION - This resto bar can be easily located and it is at a 10 mins walking distance from khar railway station. AMBIENCE- With a lovely welcoming entrance this sports bar has an indoor as well as an outdoor seating at 4th floor with a super comfortable seating sofa-beds with a rooftop view which looks much pleasing and amazing in evening lights. They also have a bar section.

STAFF & SERVICE- The service staff was much kind, well mannered , trained and courteous and helped us ordering the best dishes of the restaurant. Thanks to Ashok who attended us so well for the day. They have live sports screening. Staff was attentive as well and maintained the warm, calm environment. The service was prompt.

FOOD- No doubt the food is remarkable in taste, quality as well as quantity.

OUR ORDERS-

BEVERAGES- Flavoured Caprioska - A perfect mixture of cranberry juice , lemon and mint leaves. Totally loved this drink and is worth ordering and a must try mocktail. Tequila Sunrise- Basically a tequila based cocktails with orange juice twist. This drink went well with the food we ordered.

STARTERS- Bang Bang Chicken - This droolworthy dish had a nice mouth watering taste. The chicken was well marinated and tandoored to perfection. Kung Pao Potatoes- A perfect Chinese starter for potato lovers. Potatoes were super soft and juicy stir fried in luscious chilly soya sauce.

MAIN COURSE- Paneer Lababdar with Butter Garlic naan - This most ordered dish of the restaurant is a minimum spicy dish made in creamy gravy which went well with the naan which was perfectly made. Paneer could have been much softer otherwise it's a must try dish. The quantity is good for 2 people.

DESSERTS- Brownie with Icecream- Hot Brownie topped with chilled vanilla Ice Cream is a perfect dessert to end with! The brownie was super good, melt in mouth with walnuts within. This could be called the best one from our order for the day.

Overall it was an amazing experience. Its a place serving continental , north indian Cuisine worth a try.I would suggest one to visit here at least one time for an amazing experience. Especially this place is highly recommended for hookah/sheesha lovers.
