On My Plate:
1. Veg. Gyoza 🥟
2. Aglio Olio Pepperoncino 🍝
3. Indian Treat Pizza 🍕
Notes: We headed to ‘Mitron’ a cafe-bar in Bandra on a Sunday afternoon. Okay, let’s start with the dimsum: water-chestnut celery, lotus root and corn. They did well. The water-chestnut had a nice bite to it and there was a chili kick to the whole affair. Paired with the complimentary green onion oil, it was heaven.
Next, the Aglio Olio Pepperoncino. Al dente is very different from undercooked, let’s get that clear. And our pasta took a lot of ‘ruminating’ + settled like stones in our stomachs. Not fun,
Lastly, the Indian Treat Flatbread Pizza. The menu mentions the following components ‘Makhani sauce, Paneer tikka, onion, coriander, mozzarella. As you can clearly see, 2 of the 5 ingredients were missing--- the onion and the coriander.
These two flavors enhance the Makhani sauce and make it more power packed. Since the servers got us the wrong pizza, when we finally got the right one, it felt like a slob of cheese and a few sorry pieces of paneer were ladled in a ‘sabzi’ sauce.
The service: If you’re charging folks around 2000 bucks for a meal between two people, give them food that justifies the price. I think the restaurant having achieved popularity forgets that it has customers other than their ‘buffet + rich drinking’ crowd. Their servers messed up our orders twice in a row, swiped more than the right bill amount from our cards, and took around 6-8 minutes to even get a hold on.
Sorry for the rant, but this needed an out. Never eating here again.
