Name/Location:Cafe Basilico, Colaba/Bandra
Average Cost: **Around 350 a dish, 100 a drink nd 150 for desert
Food:** The head chef used to be the famous Chef Moshe who has now gone on to start his own restaurant.The place is owned by the same guy who owns Koyla. The menu here has recently changed nd I wasnt too happy about that until I ate here again.
I used to have a Cilantro Chicken which was basically a grilled chicken in cilantro sauce with mashed potatoes. When I requested the chef to make the same thing again he recommended something else. I m not too sure about the name but it had mozerella. I highly reccomend this dish. The place is open for
breakfast too but iv never been able to get up early enough. I tihnk
its open from 7 .
The cuisine here is mostly mediterranean. Their deserts are good too. They used to have the most amazing Baileys Cream Cake though theyv stopped it. I reccomend the Oreo Cheese Cake which has a layer of Crushed Oreos in the middle of other layers of chocolate. Their Blueberry Cheesecake is good too . The deserts here are so good that some people come nd only order deserts. In drinks id reccomend the Peachy Cheek which is just sprite nd peach flavour though its really
good.
Service: **The service here is good. The waiters are polite nd helpful nd the chef comes to help you out in case ur confused. the waiters sometimes have problems telling you about the food though theyre very patient about it. The food doesnt come that fast though nd u might be waiting a good 20 mins before u get
fed.
Ambience: **I quite like the ambience here though the chairs do tend to get uncomfortable after a while. The floor is made out of railway sleepers nd is quite cool to look at. The best part about the place is the tall windows through which you can look out
onto the street. gives the place a real charming touch. The only
problem though is its quite cramped nd u can sometimes here what people
on the other table are saying
Conclusion: ** I definitely recommend this place. especially the deserts. nd now after they've opened their new branch in Bandra.I think more nd more people are beginning to love this place. a good
place thats not too expensive yet not too cheap.
