Vegetarian #FBAISoiree At 1Above Mumbai | Food Review | Restaurant Lounge Review

There is a new party place in town with awesome ambiance, pulsating music, superb service and decent food, enough to merit a visit with friends. We were here on the launch night for #FBAISoiree and it was pretty cool. There were obvious kinks like drinks and food mixing up, too much rush making a little lag in service, all these are present in every launch party so no complaints there. The staff was too efficient, doing their best to work perfectly even under pressure. I had a sore throat, our server remembered this and got me hot water to sip twice, even without asking, well done :)

 

 

It is a pure veg place, which is a rarity when it comes to any club/lounge place, but yay on behalf of us vegetarians :D The rooftop space is utilized very well with nice separate lounge areas as well as high chairs seating, availability of full bar as well as Sheesha, wide screen TV, lighting is good too (I like to see clearly what I am eating/drinking, which becomes an impossibility in most bars/clubs/lounges with pitch dark ambiance!) Based on just food taste, there were a few misses which can be easily rectified but quite a few hits too that would definitely call me back. 

 

 

Very wholesome mildly spiced Kheema Pav (Veg version of Bunny Chow) which I would definitely order whenever I go here, 

 

 

Crunchy Nachos with 4 kinds of dips, 2 of which were lovely, one cheesy and one with tomatoes, 

 

 

Absolutely recommended are the refreshing Bruschetta with Olives, Tomatoes & Mushrooms, such distinct flavors, we kept calling for these again & again,

 

Veg Gnocchi was again good, little pops of soft deliciousness, can order again :)

 

 

Veg Sushi was really dry and could do with an overhaul and the White Sauce Flatbread seemed off, too dense and cheesy as there was hardly anything to cut through the cheesy sauce, it would do with some toppings,

I wish there was something in desserts section we could have tried but I am keeping that for the next time I am here :) Will be back for more indepth and leisurely eating-drinking session :)
