Eating at the cheerfully vintage new Grandmama's Cafe at Lower Parel, Mumbai

It is the opening week of Grandmama's Cafe at Kamala Mill Compound. I arrive at lunchtime at the charming snowflake-white exterior, done up in shades of teal and turquoise. A suspended bicycle, a dapper cool vintage SUV parked at the entrance, quaint picket fences and flowerpots get me ready for the experience.  I am expecting a charming and quiet eating affair. 

Once past the main door, I am into this vibrant space smelling of steaming food and bustling with people (not something one would expect at the introductory week). The music is refreshing, pop and easy listening. The staff is smiling and multi-tasking. I am ushered in and am seated near an arched window with a wooden table and vanilla white chairs, from where I get a nice view of the entire restaurant. 

The decor is classic vintage and aptly named Grandmama's Cafe, with a silken, cosy touch. The eatery is carefully overseen by the young owners Simar and Abhayraj Kohli, who keep an eye on every detail, which probably is the recipe to the cafe bursting at its seams, with eager tasters, in the opening week. 






The menu is designed with chirpy humour. I like the look of the pricing and promptly dig into multi-cuisine choices. 


Crispy Classic Bruschetta with Belgian Chocolate Brownie Shake is a lip-smacking start. Followed by Small Plate portions ( I like the small portion idea as I could try varied options) of Mac&Cheese, Pesto Basilica, crispy Barbeque Paneer Pizza and Grandmama's Chicken Wings, which my friend devoured. My favourite was the cheese-filled Mac&Cheese and I enjoyed the fun way all food was served. 





The eating experience was gleefully completed with picks from the desert counter.  Soft Tiramisu, crunchy Apple Pie, gooey Brownie and warm Cafe Latte (the latte even had a lovely creamy heart on it!) were all worth the sugar rush that left me with a satisfied, fuzzy feeling. 


Delighted, merry, joyful and content were the words that rattled in my mind as I left the place planning to revisit soon with more friends (who like my eat-experience reviews) and of course, family too.
