BISTRO GRILL, KANDIVALI EAST.

Kandivali east is fast becoming a hub of food joints serving a wide range of cuisines – both Indian and Western. Bistro Grill is the new member of this food hub and is worth a mention. A non-veg lunch and a veg dinner was what it took to review this place and the food is pretty impressing.

The lunch consisted of Chicken Shawarma – a dish which deserves a special mention because of this new concept slowly becoming known among the college kids. The dish was okay-ish and you can taste better shawarmas at reasonable prices elsewhere. We also ordered a Veg Mix Sauce Pasta which was really really good. It was so good the taste was lingering in our mouth for a long time. From the grills we ordered BBQ Chicken which actually was expected to be very good but was disappointing. It looked more like chicken coated with masala kept on the fire just to make it appear grilled.

For dinner we opted for a veg meal and ordered Garlic Bread with Cheese – perfectly toasted, the right amount of cheese and right amount of garlic butter - really worth ordering! The next was Veggie Delite Pizza which again was deserving of a hearty praise. The sizzler which came in third was Paneer Shaslik – recommended by many but not as good as the recommendations. For desert we had Sizzling Hot Brownie – the best among both the meals. The wonderful chocolate-walnut brownie with the perfect vanilla ice-cream!

What can you decipher from this? The Italian cuisine is what they are the best at……Lebanese is great and the rest is okay!! The rates are a little on the higher side but worth every penny you pay if you are eating Italian! One more complain is regarding the service!! Absolutely slow service…..so slow that you may order snacks and eat it at tea-time in the evening! Even though the food is good, the service kills the mood (it’s like a brutal murder of your mood to eat).

Ambience: 2.5/5
