Nice ambience and a good place to hang out with friends or go for a date. It is one of the few places in Mumbai which serves Japanese food. The staff is good, polite and pays personal attention. Only suggestion for the restaurant, they should be more descriptive about the food and drinks, since people might not be well versed with Japanese cuisine.
The Fatty Bao- a relaxed Asian Gastro Bar serves innovative cocktails & an exciting Asian menu. The Powai outpost has eclectic interiors, comfortable seating arrangements, alfresco section & a trendy bar. We tried refreshing cocktails like Tamatcha(made with rum, matcha syrup, basil, lime & soda), Beach Blonde (made with gin, coconut water, lime juice, lemongrass, jaggery & hints of green chilli) and Bora Bora (made with Absolute vodka, passion fruit, green apple, coconut water served with juicy green apple slivers). The bar menu also features classic cocktails, an extensive wine list available by the glass and bottle, single malts and other premium spirits. For starters we started with Black Rice Sushi served with scallops & miso. The main course comprised of Grilled Lamb Chops marinated in Korean chili paste & garlic served with tamarind Chili Sauce and salad.
The Fatty Pho Ramen Bowl (we ordered the less broth option) was flavorful & satisfying with smoked chicken, noodles, vegetables & eggs.
Great ambience. This place is a tiny piece of heaven for all pork-lovers. The vegetarian options are brilliant too. Even though the place is on the expensive side, the portions are adequately sized. You get what you pay for. Amazing, flavourful, well-plated food!!
What we ordered:
Appetiser: 1. Fatty Lotus Root (lotus root + Kung Pao sauce = awesomeness)
2. Fatty Bao PB&J (slow cooked pork belly)
3. Bao - Char Siu (soft, melt-in-your-mouth pork goodness in a Bao - steamed bread)
Main course
1. Vegetables and garlic noodles - absolute explosion of flavour in your mouth
2. Malaysian chicken kapitan w/sticky Jasmine rice
Dessert:
Zen Forest
SPECIAL REVIEW FOR SERVICE:
My friends and I got to the Powai outlet about 10 minutes before their kitchen shut. The staff were kind enough to give us 10 minutes to order all the 3 courses of the meal and kept the kitchen open to prep our meals! For us 4 hungry souls, that really really blessed our hearts.
The staff went over and above. THIS is one of the primary reasons, that we will visit again!
