Please Don't tell - Lower Parel, Mumbai

We had sailed to a rather strange area in the sea. The map showed no land but yet there was a small island with a village over here. It wasn't just this ancient map but all other maps had nothing here. Bizarre! A small red rectangle and a number were scribbled on the supposed spot. I wondered what it meant. Was it some riddle or a joke the map maker played on us? One of me mates then pointed at a red colored phone booth and mentioned that those kinds of booths had not been seen for decades. 

Red Rectangles, Red booth! Could this be our clue? Lets find out if its true.
I went inside the booth which was facing a wall. I picked up the phone and dialed in the number scribbled on the map. Suddenly a wall moved and a secret tavern was revealed behind it. What in the sweet name of sweet Calypso just happened? Moreover, how does an ancient map point to a telephone booth which is a modern invention? The Blue compass mystery deepens.

Please Don't tell pays homage to the 1920s when the Prohibition act banned alcohol in the United States. Grog could only be obtained in hidden breweries and pubs which operated beyond the Government's knowledge. Getting caught meant jail and alcohol lovers had to go through great risks for their favorite brews. Ah the adventure of being a rebel.

An innocent looking Paan shop with a telephone booth next to it is the first thing you find at the perceived location of PDT. At this point, I wondered if I was at the wrong address until one of the staffers asked me to step inside the booth. He then picked up the phone and punched in a secret number.

And presto! The wall adjacent to me was revealed to be a secret door. A large tavern was completely hidden behind the booth and the paan shop. Oh yes, the hidden den thing is real and not just a namesake novelty. Though it only works the first time.

This large dim lit pub is excellent for an evening binge. The furniture seemed like an archetype of the early twentieth century and the chairs resemble those found in old underground gambling dens. The music is nice although the volume could be a little lower since loud music tends to blow the cover of a hidden society(get it?). The lighting is comfortable and time can pass really fast in here.

The food is great but totalers and the purely vegetarian folk may find lesser options. That doesn't deter me of course since I am neither. I was here to sample some goodies from their new grub menu. But before that, I sampled some of their Grog.

Mary Pickford named after a famous 20's actress is a prohibition era cocktail made out of White Rum, Maraschino(Cherry) liqueur, grenadine syrup and pineapple juice. PDT managed to replicate this perfectly. The cocktail was not too strong and had a mix of tang and bitter sweet flavors inside it. It paired well with the appetizers. It was a great experience for a Rum connoisseur like yours truly.

Puzzle Guzzle is a mystery that you gulp down with yer grub. Though it was a lesser experience compared to the concoction above, it still had its highs. This was a moderately strong Vodka cocktail mixed with ginger, grape fruit juice, lime, mint leaves and some cinnamon. Potency aside, I personally was peeved with the mint leaves floating at the top. The leaves may work with some drinks but not this.

Captain : Could this puzzle be a hint to our next clue?

Quarter master : Who cares mate? Drink hearty.

Captain : Yeah, ye are right :D

Squid Pro Quo was an average calamari. I felt that the batter coating on this was far too much than required. More than calamari, I felt as if I was eating salted fried batter with Louisiana sauce and Mango salsa.

Chicks on Sticks were teriyaki skewers served with a dip made out of peanut butter. These felt like something in between Yakitori and Satay. I love skewered chicken and these juicy bits were quite sumptuous. Though the lack of saltiness may trouble Indian palates not used to this kind of food.

Shroom with a view was an open sandwich with mushroom and cheese. Rosemary rock salt focaccia adds a dominant savory flavor but rejects saltiness. The balsamic reduction enhances the savoriness further along with some sweet tones. I quite enjoyed this sandwich and its unique bitter savory flavor. It felt very earthy and very Mediterranean. However, once again this may not appeal to a person who likes their food salty. But it works well for those who enjoy authentic western food.

The Keema Pav took a long time before finally making it to our table. And this platter was well worth the wait. The heavenly aroma was both mesmerizing and appetizing. Soft minced meat mixed with spices inside a soft fresh bun was a combination meant to please. This was the best Keema pav I have had in recent times. The only flaw was the liberal use of whole spices. It is a major turn off to encounter cardamom bags while chewing. Other than that, this item is not to be missed while at PDT.

The special Vada Pav platter is a treat for herbivores and carnivores alike. These bite sized Vada pavs were artistically plated with sweet chutney, spicy chutney and onion garlic powder. The patties melt in the mouth and feel very homemade in flavor.  Though not as amazing as the Vada pav at Ashok or Mithibai, this is good comfort food. Additionally, these weren't oily at all.

Captain : This is quite beautiful. The vada pav platter almost looks like six mountains facing four rivers ha. 

Quartermaster : Who Cares? Eat hearty.

Captain : Ya, you are right. Hey aren't ya being repetitive now mate?

Quartermaster : I had too much grog mate, gimme a break.

Butter chicken Risotto successfully combined two of my favorite dishes. The Butter chicken was A-ok as far as flavor was concerned. The meat was soft, juicy and savory. The butter was just right as the dish was not greasy. The tomato did not overpower the curry as in most places. The spices were used in moderation. The aroma was delectable, the kind that makes you dash across the room to grab a bite.

The risotto though overpowered by the chicken felt authentic. I forgot to observe whether it was Arborio or not but I enjoyed this dish too much to care. This dish was the highlight of the night. A successful marriage of Indian and Italian. Two of the world's best and ancient food cultures rolled into one.

Captain : The soft chicken and heavenly rice. Mmmmm.

Quartermaster : Stop wastin yer time and hunt for the next clue.

Captain : What the barnacles? Who was being the hearty one?

This Chocolate cake was soft, rich, creamy, decadent and full of sweet ganache. It was plated well but its dark coloring on a dark plate made it a challenge for photography. But trust me on this, it looked GOOD.

The Baked Cheesecake had amazing optics but the flavor was a polar opposite. The cheesecake felt close to a caramel pudding in taste, strangely. The typical cheesecake flavor was absent. And I could not associate any of the three cheeses(Cream cheese, Ricotta, Mascarpone) used to make different Cheesecakes with it.

The service was decent. Since the place wasn't full, we were attended by two people. As were other tables. Though, one of the servers was not very well informed about the food.

The pricing seems to be tilted towards the higher side. While many items such as the chicken skewers or the Calamari seem to be at par with similar pubs across the city, the drinks and the mains were priced higher. While the food was great and the drinks were simply amazing, I am of the opinion that the prices could be a wee bit lower.

To round this up, PDT is an amazing theme based pub which lives up to its deal. Visit this place for the vibes, the feeling of an underground community, prohibition cocktails, Keema Pav and Butter Chicken Risotto. Given its unique offerings, I suppose that all food lovers should at least visit this place once.

The Captain's Score : 8/10

"
Captain : No sign of the next clue. And the puzzle has gotten even more complex. How does an ancient map have a telephone booth marked on it?

Quartermaster : I be pondering on yer six mountains and four rivers thing.

Captain : What of it?

Quartermaster : There is an actual place like that.

Captain : Is it on our map?

Quartermaster : Doesn't seem to be marked but the co-incidence is too much. Don't ya agree?

Captain : I don't but what choice do we have mate? That is the only lead we have. Six mountains and four rivers ha. Must be quite the fertile land.

Quartermaster : A Land of farmers and their sons.

Beers and grub by Brewbot - Andheri Lokhandwala, Mumbai

I grumbled as I had no internet in the middle of the sea. To steal wifi, we needed to be near the coastline. In the old days, pirates stole booty and booze. Now here I am, tryin' to grab some wifi. Suddenly I spotted a small ship moving in the same direction as us, huzzah haha.

Captain of the Small ship : Gosh honey, why do you think that big ship is following us?

Small Ship's Captain's Wife : No idea honey... Love, my internet suddenly became slow.

With the internet back up, I found a map in me inbox. Sure beats maps inside beat up empty bottles. The mark on the map read "Brewbot". It was time to chart a new course. 

"Whats up Doc?"
Nay,
"Where's the Grog Bot?"

Something is brewing in Brewbot and it better be beer.
Brewbot is one of Mumbai's few Microbreweries. They have their own unique brews which makes it a fun place to travel to. Especially for a beer lover.

Each of those 70's Box Robots represent one of the four unique beers made here. The Skywalker(Bot looks like Lego Darth Vader gone android), Floating head, Mojo Rising and Black Mamba(Vodoo bot). The place feels much like a tavern but the grub was good and perhaps far better than most main stream restaurants.

The reader is warned, I am not much of a beer lover being more of a Rummy pirate or a Vodka guzzler.

From Left to Right, The Black mamba is a bitter sweet brew whose additives make it feel less stronger than it actually is. Then comes the mid western pale ale(Mojo Rising) with its strong flavor. Then the Kolsch Skywalker which felt closest to traditional German beer.

And finally my drink, the Hefeweizen Floating head. This wheat beer had a banana like tang to it. I sampled each brew and finally settled for the Floating head. It was potent and I felt that Brewbot's personal touches were most perceptible on this one.

But a beer lover can order a quad shot platter of all four. After all, you can't choose yer grog without tasting everything first.

Captain : These look so colorful. Like half a rainbow.

Crewmate : So which one do you want, Cappy?

Captain :  Just one shot for ol' me? Hahahahaha,(serious face) Surely you must be jesting lad.

I sampled a lot of Brewbot's grub and I am of the view that it beats most pubs on the wining and dining part.

Eggplant Involtini - These rolled up parcels of Aubergine and Zucchini were quite sumptuous. It was an excellent vegetarian take on the classic Italian meat delicacy. The aubergine was probably used sparingly since I did not get my dreaded anti aubergine sensations upon eating this one. The marinara in the bottom added flavor depth, though it could have been spread more uniformly across the dish.

Bacon wrapped prawns are a fusion of two things that I absolutely adore. This dish does full justice to both meats without killing the flavor of any. Soft and juicy bacon strips are wrapped around prawns like a Knight wearing his armor. The bacon tasted perfect with its flavor palate of saltiness, savory and a tad bit of sweetness all of which harmonized well with the Prawn's umame like flavor. This dish had a lot of culinary depth and I'd say that it was the entree of the day.

Captain : This is so good, its like having Vodka while having Rum.

Crewmate : Won't that become a cocktail then?

Captain : Aye, this be like a cocktail of food. Tasty Tasty cocktail.

House Special BBQ Pulled Pork sliders were a delectable trio of three buns. The meat dominated the flavor thankfully. I cannot tell how many times I have found the bread dominating the flavor in measly packed sliders.
Strangely, the flavor somehow resembled North Indian home cooked meats with a high level of saltiness. I had expected the pork to have a bit of BBQ sauce or be caramelized.

Lamb sliders were a bit of a disappointment. The burger felt dry and the cooking felt uninspired. Perhaps getting rid of the Arugula and substituting caponata with either stock or BBQ sauce would greatly improve the flavor.

House Special Calamari wasn't the best squid that I have had. But it was quite a unique twist to the original. I am used to having my calamari coated with batter and deep fried. Brewbot's version had calamari rings floating in a soup made out of white wine, lemon juice, garlic, shallots and tomato. The soft chewy rings went great with the earthy soup.

Goat Cheese Lollibots err lollipops were simple goat cheese balls sprayed with corn flakes and herbs. This felt more like a side. Other than being a visual novelty, I did not particularly find this as an interesting appetizer.

Time to move on to the mains.

Poutine - For an item so easy to make and so common in North America, it comes off as a major surprise why poutine is still a rare to come across treat in India. Brewbot's variant was amazingly good. The flavor of the chicken had completely rubbed onto the soft fries. The cheese curds completed the alchemy. The dish felt greasy yet so tasty. It makes an ideal choice for the main slot in a multiple course meal.

Captain : I am putting this poutine in me ship's menu.

Crewmate : That's a cheesy wordplay.

Captain : Cheesy curdy wordplay.

Farmhouse Pizza was the better of the two pies served to me. That is saying a lot since the other one contained meat. This had a pesto base with pumpkin, bell peppers, mushrooms, Ricotta and pine nuts. The pie was both visibly alluring and pleasant tasting. Pesto dominated the aroma and flavor of the pizza. It also felt light due to the thin base and healthy ingredients. Rejoice vegetarians.

Quad Cheese and Bacon pizza. Bacon was a add on, so this was mostly a cheese pizza. It was said to contain Mozzarella, Gorgonzola, cheddar and probably ricotta. The flavor however felt a bit off. Though I was told that it may be due to the Gorgonzola, I am positive that it wasn't that since I have had the cheese before without problems. I think this could be blamed on the cheesy overdose. Something clashed somewhere. Bacon hardly felt as a participant despite its generous presence. Its flavor completely drowned in the sea of cheese.

Chicken Roulade was like a star batsman who went out for a duck. The chicken felt too tough and insipid. The flavor had not sunk well into it. The house stuffing tilted the flavor favor towards the greens. This probably contributed to the chicken tasting bland. The stuffed greens should have been at most a third of what was present.

Brewbot had a nice selection of desserts.

I am going to use the ascending order in case of desserts. Best dessert comes last.
Chocolate Fondant looked perfect on visuals but felt very average. It seemed to mimic choco lava cakes more than fondants.

Apple Strudel was a good emulation of the popular Viennese pastry. The filling was soft, tangy and had an aroma of the freshest apples. Dusted with sweet spices and a drizzle of caramel, this can easily be a table favorite.

House Special Cheese Cake. The House Special names were getting old at this point but that still does not stop this cheesecake from being awesome. Creamy, soft and tangy (due to lemon essence)- this reminded me of Starbucks discontinued Lemon jazz cheesecakes. Well its Starbuck's loss, I enjoyed Brewbot's variant a lot.

Chocolate and Peanut butter parfait was the best of the sweet lot. It looked brilliant, had an amazing flavor and it left me wanting for more. Too bad, the local patisserie doesn't sell these. The top jacket was made of rich chocolate while the parfait was made of peanut butter and had crunchy elements and crisps embedded into it. Sweet and salty(due to peanut butter) would be the best way to describe it. If one is grubbing out at Brewbot then this is not to be missed.

Captain : Food the tasty frontier,

Crewmate : Looks like the Captain tripped on the fishing lines again.

Captain : These are the voyages of the Seaship Grubzone. Its eternal mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new food and new cuisines. To boldly eat where no human has ever eaten before.

Crewmate : That was a peg legged line.

The service mimicked that at any decent pub. Though this particular event was part of a blogger/influencer thing and one of the owners himself was assisting the servers so it would be difficult for me to comment thoroughly on the service.

The pricing leans towards the upper side. Its higher than pubs like BBC etc but lesser than fine dines. The food mostly is worth it but it could do a lot better with a little lesser.

Brewbot is definitely a celebrity among the likes of other famous bots like C3PO and R2D2. (BB 8 was a piece of junk though) This pub certainly outclasses a lot of establishments in the popular Lokhandwala food district. Floating Head Beer, Bacon wrapped Prawns, Poutine and the Parfait should make the perfect course meal for anyone.

The Captain's Score : 8/10

"Grog Check. Grub Check. Wifi...uhh skip that. All right lads, we have a long day on the sea. Until next time."

-I was invited by the Restaurant's PR as part of a blogger's meet. However, my review is neutral and free of any biases.-

Boveda - Andheri West, Mumbai

And the next mark on the map read "Boveda". I wondered what it meant till the quartermaster declared that it meant "Vault" in Spanish. Almost instantly the crew's linguist shrugged and corrected the quartermaster. "Its Galician, a language spoken by a small group near the Spanish Iberia." 

The quartermaster not being the one to be slighted responded with a dull "Same thing." And the two lads got into an argument. I walked away in deep thoughts ignoring the two blokes who were quacking like geriatric sea gulls as I wondered what this vault could contain. Then suddenly I stopped and said, "Wait, we have a linguist in me crew?"

Boveda is a nice little ever-twilight pub located in the food district of Andheri. It has had a reputation for a while of being a night eatery but hey I dropped in at 2:30 in the noon and had quite a nice meal. The place has a very energetic yet comforting pub like feel to it.

Whether it is the bar which happens to be the most illuminated part of the place or the mixtures of tables, armchairs and couches. Boveda appears like one of those biker bars that I am used to seeing on movies and American shows. It appeals to the traveling epicure such as myself. The decor seemed like a mixture of Bavarian woodwork pubs, modern industrial architecture and a bit of Bohemian artwork(thrown in for good measure). All in all I think the visual elements work greatly for this place. I could imagine it being full of starry eyed revelers at night time.

Chef Saqib works both as the executive chef, occasional mixer and the manager for this place. He is a man who truly invests a lot to put this place on the map. Boveda already had an extensive grub menu but they have also introduced a healthy menu which was what I was here for.

Cranberry Zuppa was a strange soup which was served cold and in a Martini glass. This is thought to be a well known staple in Italy and Spain but I think its quite a delicacy in India. The taste initially felt like the sweet tang of cranberries, which was immediately followed by a salty flavor with shades of garlic and onion. Then a mildly spicy undertone of red peppers appeared at the end. This drink was quite delicious for vegan health food. I would probably have it again if I go to Boveda again. My taste buds do miss this flavor.

Captain : Sweet, salty and spicy. 

Crewmate : This one sure be a mystery. 

Captain : A tasty tasty mystery.

I am not sure what this was actually called. It was a Cranberry drink whose name sounded like Ronella to me. It had Cranberry, pineapple, a bit of lime, mandarin bits and red bull. The taste was refreshing, mostly tangy with a bit of a zingy sweet twist from the Red bull.

Roasted Pumpkin Hummus and Pita was a humble but a good way to open the grub show. The Pita was made of wholewheat flour hence the atypical color. I am used to having regular Hummus. I never realized that it can be flavored too. The hummus had a distinct flavor of Pumpkin puree. It was quite savory and playful on my tongue. Wholewheat Pita can be a bit coarse as opposed to regular Pita but it was absolutely amazing with this hummus.

Egg Whites stuffed with mince Lamb is taking health food to the next level. Apart from the small amount of cheese used, the ingredients on this are quite healthy. The egg whites tasted like a soft jelly shell which gave way to a delectable minced meat within. The meat is salty and the cheese lends some flavor to it as well. Though it's usually supposed to be served with Mint chutney, I was served the same with Mint Mayo. Mint mayo is one of my favorites so I won't complain but Mayo should ideally be avoided in an all health menu.

Captain : This is quite full of proteins eh?

Crewmate : It be such a simple affair Cappy, why didn't we think of this before? 

Captain : Because we eat too much lad and we have no time to think about cooking.

Chilli Cheese potato was perhaps the only low light of the day. This item was a regular fixture and not a part of Boveda's health menu. The potato tasted a bit raw and the cheese and spices could not lend their flavor to the unruly tuber. The flavors instead of blending into one entity were all running into different directions making this dish a passable affair.

Grilled Chicken breast is a preparation that is strangely present on both their regular and healthy menu. Upon asking the difference, I was told that potato mashing in the regular fixture is replaced with brown rice. The grilled meat seemed to have skin and was loaded with pepper sauce. The sauce supplied most of the flavor to the preparation as it tasted salty and savory. The fragrant rice provided the fiber, the chicken proteins and the soft wok tossed greens everything else.
I enjoyed this dish since it is one of my favorites though I did feel that the meat could have been a wee little bit rarer.

The pricing seems to be at par with pub outlets like BBC, Harrys and the like. Thus its well within the reach of most. The healthy menu for its part is well worth the buck spent.

The service is a bit "relaxed" if I could put it correctly but its still professional and the servers know their  dishes.

I don't carry a calorimeter when I go out for food so I cannot tell how healthy was the food but what I can attest is that the food was quite tasty. The menu was interesting and my afternoon brunch was quite fun. Relaxing brunch in the day, Party at night. Boveda seems to have something for all kinds of folks.

The Captain's Score : 8/10

"Methinks that this was quite the vault of plenty eh. And you lads are not looking sluggish from yer binge either. Good, Good no excuses and onto your positions now."

-I was invited to try the special health menu by the restaurant's PR. Thus food was on the house-

 

Lighthouse Cafe - Khar, Mumbai

It was a dark misty night and the seas were rough. These conditions be treacherous for any ship at the high seas. The crew was extra alert, not a lad out of place. Suddenly out of the dark mists, a brief flash of light caught our attention. I immediately changed course towards the light. As we moved into the unknown, the flashes grew brighter and brighter. Any experienced man at sea knew what this meant. There was a lighthouse nearby. 

As me ship pushed though the mists, the view became clearer. There was a small island in front of us with a lighthouse in the middle. The lookout sounded confused when he claimed that there was a tavern right inside that light house. This was enough to arouse me curiosity as I asked the fellas to look for a good spot to dock at while the landing party prepared to explore the island. Tavern inside the lighthouse? Fascinating.

The nice folks at Zomato remembered good ol' me when they were organizing a meet up for epicures at Light house Cafe. This cafe is more of a pub or a tavern if one has to strictly go by the appearance. The most prominent part of this small sized restaurant is the bar. But a small obscure counter adjacent to the bar with a loud signboard saying FOOD reassures that there is plenty of grub too. The dim lit appearance is perfect for a sinful weekend binge.
 

And if that wasn't good enough - There is live Music(Wednesdays) and a DJ too. So much in a little cafe is worth every moment spent here. The vibe is similar to that in a club. Food, drinks, frolic and music to go with that.


The party started with a bunch of house special cocktails. This was a part of their special Beer and Burger's menu. Some of these cocktails were made by the fellas at the meet up themselves. Fun for us to be honorary bartenders(though lousy), I reckon.

Caribbean Mix was undoubtedly my first choice. If you have to ask why then you are not reading enough of my works mate. This was a beer cocktail mixed with Vodka, Malibu, Coconut water, pineapple and some Tabasco. The flavor was sweet to start with. As the tongue bathed in the drink, the flavor of the coconut which was somewhat similar to that in Bounty Chocolates emerged. And as the drink went down me passages, a strong tangy-spicy aftertaste could be felt. This definitely got my spirits up.

Crewmate : Any Pirate gags coming Cappy?

Captain : No, let me enjoy me drink.

Crewmate : oh...ok.

The Paneer Kebabs and Murg Alishan were savory snacks that went well as bar nibbles. The chicken in the latter was a tad bit rare but the taste was great.

The mains were greasy, messy and scrumptious burgers. These felt very much like real burgers as opposed to the basic dumbed down burgers sold in most run of the mill places like the ones by a clown and a king. And as this was a Beer and Burger festival, I was told that the line up was a special edition menu. These huge burgers were quite heavy so I could not taste em' all but I did enjoy what I could grab. The place would make a great spot for a burger lover.

Bengal Fata Fati was a messy burger which tasted much like homemade Tariwala Chicken. I suppose Bengali homemade chicken and Punjabi homemade chicken have a similar flavor. The mayo in the burger was mixed with a Bengal mustard chili paste and added a twisty zing to the familiar flavor. The wedges were coated with Panchphoran masala which is a blend of spices used in Bengali cuisine. A welcome change as opposed to the overused and over done piri piri mixes.

Jerk Chicken Stoner was definitely the best of the burger lot. A spicy and potent Jamaican jerk mix applied to roasted chicken and draped with lots of mayo makes a great burger. It had a great aroma too. This burger was quite messy but if it ain't messy then it ain't fun at all. To play around with names a bit, Jerk Chicken Rocker would have been more apt.

Captain : This burger gave me a high. 

Crewmate : Thats why this is called a stoner.

Captain : Good food fixes anything eh?

Crewmate : I wouldn't know, you usually eat mine too.

Fiery Punjabin is strangely a pure veggie burger. For folks like me, Punjabi food symbolizes meat and spiciness so this was definitely something, different. This monster was primarily made of a cottage cheese(Paneer) patty with pickled vegetables. The Yoghurt used is billed to be Bondi Yoghurt(Aussie) which I am not sure about. Appears to be a corruption of Boondi Yoghurt ha.

Eggless Hazelnut mousse was average. The liquor was rich but not very dense. It was quite airy from appearance. The major problem with this dessert was the unwelcome addition of hazelnut flakes. This felt like a last minute post work addition and felt very annoying as far as taste goes. I ended up flipping the mousse and slicing a layer off which contained the flakes.

The pricing seems fair for the generous portion sizes served. Most burgers are between 400 to 500 INR which feels fine. The drinks have variable prices. Some feel like a good deal while some feel on the higher side. In totality, the menu is well priced for a burger lover.

The service can be a little slow but the place was crowded beyond belief so its pardonable. The staff was professional in conduct. The bartender was extra polite as he walked us through making drinks and tolerating our sacrilegious mistakes ha. I remember not shaking the drink hard enough.

The evening was great and I can say that the complete package was well worth the trip. The Beer and Burger festival is a limited affair so the reader should make haste.

The Captain's Score : 8/10
