Review: Top 5 reasons why you should visit the newly opened 212 All Day Cafe & Bar at Marketcity Kurla.
We absolutely adore new beginnings! And if the beginning
revolves around a new restaurant launch, our taste buds sing out so loud that
we may put an opera singer to shame. So, armed with curiosity, wicked spoon confessions
reached the buzzing launch of 212 All
Day Cafe & Bar at Phoenix Market City Kurla. The journey was not that
smooth. We dragged a reluctant sobo (much used slang for south Mumbai) friend,
hitched a ride in a share rickshaw (the three-tiered miracle vehicle that we
“Mumbaiyas” swear by), dared the busy and narrow Kurla lanes and broke a heel.
We stepped in to the mall and murmured a silent prayer. Before us spread over
the huge property of Phoenix Market City Kurla were shoe shops that would make
Carrie Bradshaw smile. So how did the evening unfold from here? Well Wicked
Spoon Confessions would love to tell you more….
Shoes bought, we
stepped in to the courtyard to enjoy a few fine wines as the mall was
celebrating the 2015 Vinofest festival. But our eyes kept wandering to the
gates of 212 Café that was abuzz with action. Guests were posing before
stepping into the restaurant, a few mingled with wine glasses in their hands
while others grooved to the music playing in the alfresco space. We stepped in
to discover fresh interiors, a buzzing kitchen, crisp menu and cordial
staff. Here are our top 5 reasons why one should visit 212 All Day Cafe & Bar:
Location, location
and location- Dining and shopping are an unmatched formula. And so is cinemas
and dining. Actually, malls have become a weekend destination for many. Like
us, do a bit of shopping or catch with friends at the movies before you head to
212 All Day. And no more jokes about Kurla, please. We are over your “Rickshaw-
the suburb’s answer to cheaper fast and furious” or “His long distance
relationship didn’t survive. His girlfriend stayed in Kurla.”
The Seating-
We loved that one could choose between a mix of cozy tables for twos and
fours, comfortable booths or elevated community style tables. We chose a well
laid out table for two that was not cramped up and had enough space for a
comfortable dining experience. Also try
out the lovely al fresco seating that overlooks the courtyard, we all love the
great outdoors, don't we?
Pick a table as per your need! |
Oh!! The rings I really want are deep fried! :) |
Asian Salad- a healthy choice. |
The flat bread thin crust barbecue chicken pizza! |
All Day Dining- If
like us you always miss-read “Hunger Games” as “Hungry Games” or your whatsapp status is “Always Hungry” all day dining is the answer. Open all day, 212 will satiate your taste buds any time of the day. How many times have we been disappointed that
our favorite place would open only late in the evening or downs its shutters
just after lunch? Now no more waiting
for the clock to strike “Meal-o'clock”.
The chic interiors: 212
is an upscale deli with unpretentious interiors. Wooden chairs, lively and colorful
graffiti on walls, warm lights, boards announcing the days specials, a bar and a
live pizza theatre all add to its warm and welcoming vibe. There is a ‘Deli’ zone too, so pick up
a gourmet gift for a loved one and earn brownie points.
