Mumbai is known for its kaleidoscope of gourmet restaurants catering to varied taste-buds and ambience expectations. While some of these cater purely to gastronomic delights, others provide for memorable

experiences or simply a “fun-time out”!

Few places offer an irresistible combination of good food, great ambience and “reasonably light-on-your-pocket” experience.SPICES & FLAVOURS (or SNF as it is popularly known)at Worli,Dr.A.B.Road is one of them! Being a neighborhood eating joint, I have frequented it many a times. And have come back satisfied every time!

As one arrives at this joint tucked away at a corner of the Worli Sea Face Rd he cant miss too see it. There is AC & Non AC section. And since the place is new , the waiting time for a table can be quite long on a weekend evenings. They do take reservations on weekdays.

And  then  as u enter u feel it  was  worth it! The ambience inside is arabic nd moroccon. Colourful lights and the shamiana look with all walls  havin  somewall hangin u cant miss and a mocktail bar counter with all marbles in it. They have an Indian seatin with a table made of a big chakki stone. This is the best and most comfortable seating. All the other tables too have some theme in it.The menu has a lot of items indian and italian also.  Its purely  vegetarian

My personal favourites include the tandoori platter, followed by shyam savera(have never tasted another delicious  preparation!) and some lovely kulchaas or missi rotis.  mirchi ka salan with spl roti is also really awesome. My meal at Spices & Flavours is never complete without the “dal-khichdi” served with curds, which can be very plainly described as “mind-blowing”! 

You cant miss to  the hookah at snf  They  serve  the  best hookah ever. the pan masala or golden pan flavour. They have a spl fresh fruit hookah wehre they serve the real watermelon as a hookah itself. 

The management of SNF seems to have its pulse on the food business knowing well that a good food product is never complete without equally good and competent service standards. This is one joint that I can bank on for entertaining friends to some good, homely food away from home amidst good ambience. .
