New
Place
Alert!
Chembur
has
a
new
destination
to
party
and
groove
-
Shalom.
It
is
a
rooftop
bar
and
kitchen
located
on
6th
floor.
One
can
locate
it
easily
via
Maps.
The
place
has
an
indoor
as
well
as
outdoor
seating.
Lights
are
dim
which
is
usually
the
case
in
any
lounge.
Outdoor
seating
is
also
comfortable
as
they
have
air
blowers
to
keep
the
area
cool.
They
have
enough
space
to
accommodate
large
groups
and
parties.
Indoor
has
a
bar
section
and
DJ
console
just
besides
it.
Enough
space
between
tables
to
dance
and
they
also
can
move
tables
if
required.
It
begins
with
English
music
and
as
the
night
proceeds,
changes
to
Bollywood
and
Punjabi
music.
Music
is
played
as
per
crowds
request
too.
Talking
first
about
the
drinks,
primarily
mocktails
that
we
tried
at
Shalom
-
Cucumberino
is
a
refreshing
drink
which
has
a
combination
of
cucumber
and
coriander.
Those
who
like
cucumber
in
their
drink
should
go
for
this
one,
also
they
have
a
similar
drink
in
signature
cocktails
-
Bracing
Afternoon
a
recommended
one
based
on
Gin
and
cucumber.
Next
we
tried
Strawberry
Colada
which
was
a
blend
of
strawberry,
pineapple
juice
and
coconut
cream
similar
to
Pina
Colada
but
in
strawberry
flavour.
I
personally
love
Pina
Colada
so
I
really
liked
the
drink.
It
was
presented
in
an
attractive
unqiue
glass.
We
also
tried
the
Orange
Basilico
which
is
currently
not
in
the
menu
-
a
mix
of
Orange
juice
and
fresh
Basil
leaves
served
on
the
rocks.
A
good
mix
for
those
who
like
orange
juice.
Last
but
not
the
least
a
mention
for
signature
cocktail
Asian
Alliance
a
vodka
based
drink
with
fresh
Pineapple
Juice,
Jaggery,
Kaffir
Lime
and
Spanish
Bitters.
A
nice
fusion
drink
where
Thai
flavours
meet
Indian.
I
didn't
try
this
personally
but
heard
from
others
who
tried
it,
was
nice.
We
first
started
with
soup.
Tried
the
Minestrone
and
Roasted
Tomato
Basil
Soup.
Both
were
nice
but
of
the
two
would
definitely
recommend
Minestrone.
Tomato
based
Vegetable
Soup
with
Ligurian
Pesto
and
Parmesan.
Broth
was
thick
and
rich
in
texture
and
equally
good
in
taste.
Other
soup
was
also
good
where
tomatoes
were
roasted
in
oven
and
then
flavoured
with
basil
leaves.
We
were
in
the
mood
to
try
a
lot
more
starters
since
we
had
gone
in
a
big
group.
We
had
Arancini
Balls,
Nachos
Overloaded,
Chimichanga,
Kung
Pao
Potatoes
and
Bruschetta
Di
Fungi.
My
personal
favorites
in
order
of
preference
would
be
Nachos
Overloaded,
Kung
Pao
Potatoes
and
Chimichanga.
Nachos
has
Salsa
sauce,
Sour
Cream
and
Cheese
sauce
on
top.
Quantum
of
all
these
sauces
is
sufficient
to
finish
the
tortilla
chips.
Kung
Pao
Potatoes
at
Shalom
at
Potato
Wedges
marinated
with
Sweet
Chilly
Sauce,
Soy
and
Spring
Onion.
Chimichanga
is
deep
fried
tortillas
with
veggies,
onions
and
bell
peppers.
Arancini
are
rice
balls
topped
with
classic
arrabiata
sauce.
Bruschetta
Di
Fungi
is
Crostini
topped
with
Cheese
Cream
and
Wild
Mushrooms.
Moving
to
the
mains,
we
tried
Cottage
Cheese
Steak,
Mexican
Rice
and
Paneer
Tikka
Focaccia.
I
personally
liked
all
of
them
but
in
the
same
order
of
preference.
Cottage
Cheese
Stake
was
Cojun
Grilled
Cottage
Cheese
sauteed
in
Mustard
Sauce.
Mexican
Rice
was
Vegetable
Rice
with
Kidney
Beans
mixed
with
spicy
sauce.
It
had
a
nice
tangy
flavour
to
it.
One
who
is
fond
of
Mexican
cuisine
will
definitely
like
this
main
course.
Focaccia
bread
with
Shredded
Paneer
Tikka
and
lettuce
as
stuffing.
It
is
served
with
home
fries
-
ketchup
and
Mint
Mayo.
Felt
the
bread
to
be
a
little
on
the
dry
side.
Finally
moving
to
the
Desserts,
Shalom
doesn't
have
any
in-house
desserts
yet,
all
of
them
are
outsourced.
We
tried
Chocolate
Bomb,
Paan
Cheesecake
and
Tiramisu.
For
me,
my
personal
favorite
has
to
be
Paan
Cheesecake
adequate
amount
of
Gulkand
not
too
sweet,
just
perfect
for
me.
Followed
by
Chocolate
Bomb,
though
it
had
less
of
liquid
hot
chocolate
within
the
the
Bomb.
A
good
overall
experience
at
Shalom,
nice
evening,
great
food,
great
drinks,
fantastic
music!
Would
definitely
recommend
all
to
visit
this
place
if
in
or
visiting
Chembur.
