We
had
heard
rave
reviews
about
Bombay
Street
Cafe
and
thought
to
try
it
finally.
However,
it
was
disappointing
for
us
and
definitely
not
worth
the
second
visit.
Food:
Being
a
large
group,
we
had
a
chance
to
try
out
multiple
things.
So,
we
went
for
Jini
Dosa,
Bombay
Bhaji
Pav,
Mithibai
Vada
Pav,
Pizza
Uttapam,
Cheese
Masala
Toast
Sandwich
and
a
Veg
Frankie
(can't
exactly
recall
the
type).
To
begin
with,
Frankie
and
Sandwich
were
really
good.
The
spice
level
and
the
flavors
came
together
really
well
to
get
that
authentic
Bombay
feeling.
Jini
Dosa
and
Pizza
Uttapam
wasn't
as
amazing
as
Frankie
and
Sandwich
but
just
good
enough.
However,
the
spoiler
was
Vada
Pav
and
Bhaji
Pav
which
had
a
very
weird
taste.
Neither
Vada
nor
Bhaji
was
fresh
and
just
after
the
first
bite,
we
could
sense
that.
Pav
was
not
fresh
at
all
as
the
top
cracked
just
as
we
put
our
finger
on
it,
which
can
easily
tell
us
that
they
were
a
couple
of
days
old.
Fresh
pav
doesn't
crack.
Overall,
the
food
is
good
in
certain
sections
but
the
freshness
of
ingredients
is
in
question.
Ambiance:
This
is
where
BSC
scores
really
well.
The
place
shouts
"Bombay"
right
at
the
entrance
with
the
list
of
Bombay
jargons
and
their
meaning.
The
interiors
have
some
old
iconic
pictures
of
Bombay
on
the
right
and
a
map-like
version
of
Bombay
with
some
its
famous
places
marked.
The
lighting
was
good.
The
noise
level
was
minimal
which
is
great
for
a
peaceful
meal.
Staff:
Overall,
the
service
was
good.
The
staff
was
fine,
except
for
one
gentleman
who
took
offense
when
we
complained
about
Pav.
His
argument
was,
why
did
we
eat
Vada
Pav,
if
we
were
not
satisfied
with
the
Pav.
Of
course,
he
forgot
that
you
can't
tell
the
food
is
bad
without
actually
tasting
it.
The
manager,
however,
maintained
sanity
and
acknowledged
the
issue
with
Vada
Pav.
Overall,
a
disappointing
visit
and
definitely
not
worth
my
money.
