I
recently
had
the
pleasure
of
dining
at
Bayroute
in
Powai
for
lunch
with
a
friend,
and
I
must
say,
the
experience
was
quite
delightful.
As
enthusiasts
of
Lebanese
and
Middle
Eastern
cuisine,
we
eagerly
ordered
the
business
meal
pack,
which
promised
a
culinary
journey
through
three
dishes
and
a
dessert.
Our
taste
buds
were
treated
to
an
array
of
flavors,
leaving
us
thoroughly
satisfied.
What
truly
stood
out,
besides
the
delectable
dishes,
was
the
exceptional
service.
The
waitstaff
were
not
only
attentive
but
remarkably
friendly
and
courteous,
making
us
feel
right
at
home.
Even
the
valet
service
sported
infectious
enthusiasm,
a
rare
gem
in
bustling
cities
like
Mumbai
.
However,
there
were
a
few
areas
where
Bayroute
could
enhance
the
dining
experience.
The
side
salad
that
accompanied
our
dishes
seemed
rather
ordinary
and
failed
to
complement
the
main
flavors.
The
portion
size
left
us
wanting
a
bit
more,
and
it's
worth
mentioning
that
the
price
point
is
on
the
higher
side.
For
a
meal
sans
alcoholic
beverages,
the
bill
tallied
up
to
around
Rs
4500
for
the
two
of
us,
which
is
notably
more
expensive
compared
to
other
establishments
of
similar
stature.
Certainly,
I
must
mention
that
while
the
ambience
at
Bayroute
was
pleasant,
it
didn't
quite
reach
the
level
of
exceptional.
The
restaurant
seemed
to
have
aged
over
time,
evident
in
its
dรฉcor
and
furnishings.
The
walls,
furniture,
tablecloths,
lamps,
and
even
the
design
of
the
bar
felt
like
they
were
yearning
for
a
revitalizing
touch.
A
noticeable
yearning
for
renovation
was
evident
throughout
the
dining
space,
which
somewhat
affected
the
overall
atmosphere.
The
restaurant's
location,
unfortunately,
dampened
the
ambiance
a
tad
further.
The
presence
of
a
noisy,
busy
road
and
ongoing
construction
nearby
detracted
from
the
cozy
atmosphere
one
might
hope
for
during
a
leisurely
meal.
In
spite
of
these
shortcomings,
Bayroute's
delectable
cuisine
certainly
compensates
for
the
minor
inconveniences.
It's
an
establishment
I'd
recommend
for
occasional
indulgence,
perhaps
twice
a
year.
Lowering
the
prices
could
potentially
make
it
a
more
frequent
haunt,
but
for
now,
the
flavorsome
fare
makes
it
a
destination
worth
revisiting.
