Always wanted to try this one and finally went in for some hogging. Located on the streets of Fort, this one will spoil you for the food choices especially for Italian cuisene.
What we were served -
OREO COOKIE SHAKE šŸŖ
It was really very sweet and soothing. The Oreo flavour with additional chocolate was on point!

QUATTRO FORMAGGI & JALAPENOS šŸ
They customised it for us with additional vegetables of our choice. It's not that spicy(we wanted it to be plain) but really yummy and because of its thin and crispy crust we actually enjoyed the flavors more.

HUMMUS with GRILL PITA šŸ§†
It took me back to the Arabian flavours.. Hummus had the perfect Turkish touch and was one of the best hummus I tasted in south Bombay. I would give it 11/10, it was that good.

The ambience is cool and calm with some plush interiors. Staff was well mannered and the service was prompt. Comfortable seating arrangements with soft music playing in the playground makes it a place where you can relax and enjoy the meal with your friends and family or even plan a date!

One of our favorite restaurants in the fort area. Especially love their shawarma and chargrilled rawas. Lots of options on the menu. Nice ambience and usually can walk in without a booking and get a place right away. Pricing is also reasonable.

Cafe Basilico located at Colaba and is renowned for its plush interiors and comfortable seatings .They serve some very healthy and delicious breakfast items that never fail to please. Not only this, they also have a huge desserts counter where they sell freshly baked cakes, pastries and pies.
We called for šŸ‡blueberry cheesecake, šŸ§€newyork Cheesecake
and the šŸ§red velvet!
Do visit Basilico for some scrumptious food and cakes. .
šŸ’°Price wise itā€™s a bit on the pricey side but worth every penny that you spend.

Cafe Basilico is a place situated in Colaba, it has an amazing ambiance.
Itā€™s quiet and they play soft music. You feel relaxed once you enter this place and itā€™s a place where one can have a nice dinner with their partner .
It has a wide range of dishes on its menu and even provides breakfast.
The staff here is really courteous and very professional.
We had ordered a three cheese gnocchi and itā€™s something Iā€™d have to develop a taste for because it was a bit bland.
The rice we had ordered were very flavourful and nicely prepared.
One must try their desserts as they are so nice and delicious you just canā€™t stop at one , we ordered a gooey chocolate cake and it was sooo nicely done it just melted in our mouths.

We ordered
Three Cheese Gnocchi = ā‚¹510
Chicken Parmigiana = ā‚¹640
Passion Fruit Mojito = ā‚¹230
Gooey Chocolate Cake = ā‚¹240
Macaroon = ā‚¹60

During one afternoon decided for lunch to be in Colaba and walked right into Cafe Basilico. Two of us were in for a treat, the ambience is soothing, relaxed and serene. The heat outside was just forgotten with the Cucumber Cooler which was perfectly blended with Cucumber, Mint Leaves and obviously Ice. The mains were ordered and the two dishes that reached our table were the Chargrilled Veg Lasagne and a custom order of a Steak Medallion Medium Rare. The Lasagna was a perfect entwine of flavors between the Lasagne Sheets, the four cheeses and the mix of vegetables. The Steak was done just right as requested for, where as the mashed potato was found to be a little bland and could do a little more with seasoning as per my taste but overall, the steak along with the Garlic Mushroom Pepper sauce was the winner for a divine set of a meal fit for a Hungry Meat Lover like me.

For the desserts we kept it light with the Chocolate Muffin and the Red Velvet Cake. Again an excellent choice which really ended the meal with a sense of satisfaction.

All in all I would definitely recommend Cafe Basilico to all who would like a brilliant, quiet meal with amazing service paired with the right ambience! My rating is 5/5.

The first thing you'll notice when you enter this quaint little cafe is an wide range of freshly baked bread. Well, we didn't taste any during our visit but sure to grab some the next time we dine here. The pizza we ordered was on of the best I've had in a long time. The harissa chicken with couscous was fabulous and finally the dessert was an indulgence that makes us quite guilty šŸ˜‰.

Ordered - Pizza , strawberry lemon cooler , hot mocha and cold mocha
Wining point- Good food . Peaceful , quiet ambiance. The employees are aware of the menu and knows the detail of almost every dish.
Look forward to next visit to try their steak & Tea.
Whining point - saw some kids creating ruckus behind the cash counter. This in turn was delaying the service time as the employees were busy controlling the kids in hush hush way. Assume the kids belong to owner/ relative. Not sure though.

HOW GOOD DOES THIS FOOD LOOK ??
.
Recently had a chance to visit Cafe Basilico in town, one of the lanes of Colaba Causeway. This tiny lil joint is a gem, they serve a lot of variety of be it Chinese, Thai, Italian or Balinese food.
.
.
We decided to start with Humus with Pita Bread - healthy & yummy, followed by Special Veggies Salad with Olive Oil & Lemon Dressing - the flavour of lemon dressing was just outstanding along with the peppers & veggies. For mains we called for Balinese Curry with Rice - the curry was delicious, filled with veggies cooked well in coconut curry. The unique spicy tangy flavour of the curry was just perfect.
.
The ambience & service at the cafe is good, they also provide valley parking.

PS: They serve vegan & gluten free food too.. & doesnā€™t serve alcohol.

I heard about this cafe from my friends who used to live in the neighbourhood. Last night we were there for quick dessert. The place is quaint and quite beautiful. I liked almost everything about the place. Today I got to know that this place is owned by Ayesha Takia, and it has whole vegan menu. And the interesting part is the produce of ingredients is sourced from Farhan Azmiā€™s farm. They use vegan cheese and vegan mayo in their servings. I heard their vegan breakfast is so delicious. Who says vegan food is not delicious. If you wanna try something healthy and tasty go visit this place. I know you will thank me later. Cheers šŸ»

Basilico is a quaint comfy continental cafe in Colaba.
It's a great place to go for lunch or for a date night. We've tried a couple of dishes and have never been disappointed. The cosy ambiance with the hot food is perfect in this weather.Ā 
We ordered:
1. Tomato Soup - the tomato soup was perfect in its texture and was served hot. It had the right amount of flavour and was served with a piece of garlic bread which completed the dish.
2. Steak - We chose the make your own steak. Since they donā€™t have the lovely T-bone steak they used to on the menu we chose the beef medallion in garlic mushroom sauce. The steak was cooked well and the sauce really complimented the meat as well as the mashed potato. The only complaint with the dish was the portion size has become smaller than before while the price has gone up.
3. Blueberry Cheesecake - The cheesecake has been extremely popular at basilico and it has stood the test of time. The blueberries werenā€™t overly sweet and the cream cheese was light fluffy and airy. I only wish the crust had been more crunchy as I love a cheesecake with a crunchy base.

I dont remember what we had ordered, but some of the dishes were Four Cheese Fondue, Lemongrass soup, Hummus with grilled pita, primavera pizza, papeika spiced Roast chicken. We even tried some of their pastries like cheese cake, chocolate belgium. The taste was really good, and the staff helped us to choose the best because of which we had a great experience. The Ambience is also chilled like a typical cafe. I really liked the Menu. I would for surely recommend this place.

Right at the end of the Colaba Market, this cozy place serves really amazing food. We had ordered Lasagne and Gnocchi. Both of which were delicious and beautifully presented. The dessert segment is vast and each of the items looked more appealing than the other. So no picking favourites, all are great. The staff is very cordial and we had a great dinning experience.

If youā€™re looking for a relaxed yet fine dine experience then this place might be the one for you.
We ordered non vegetarian Mediterranean platter which was great with all the sauces and vibrant presentation.
The risotto had just the right flavours , nor bland neither strong.
Pizza with thin crust was good and not too heavy on the stomach .
The dessert was carrot cake . The sugar was loud but the cardamom & carrot flavour redeemed the flavour.
The vibe of the place is relaxed and peaceful .

A nice place in Colaba and delivers tasty food items. I have ordered from here a lot of times and they haven't disappointed me ever. I mostly order at lunch time, ranging across salads and egg based dishes.

Salads is my weakness and Asparagus & Grilled Zucchini is just too good. The grilled zucchini and mushrooms with loads of fresh and crunchy iceberg lettuce is a real treat. The asparagus on top is like an icing on the cake. This can be had with either a creamy parmesan or balsamic vinaigrette based dressing.

Other thing I like are the egg dishes served here. It's really well done, the way I like. On top of it, these can be had in various combinations like with cheese, veggies, etc. and that too in different styles. I personally love the omelettes.

Overall, the experience has been very satisfying, every time I have ordered food from here and I would surely recommend this place as a must go.

HAPPY EATING!!!

I have been visiting this place for years right since Moshe was initially a part of them.

Their coffees and desserts are yum ( try their Jamaican blue mountain or Brazilian Santos coffee).

These days I visit them for their breakfast . The chef provides a customised sandwich of scrambled egg whites with green chilli stuffed in between two slices of bread with grilled chicken .

For lunch try their risotto ( mushroom with grilled chicken ) . They also do some delicious burgers .

Overall great food and service .

Food and something filling was required couldnā€™t think of a better place then this. The pasta sauce was amazing the taste of paprika with the cream made it divine. The Quattro Formagi Pizza with Jalepenos was delicious and light and didnā€™t make it feel as if there was four types of cheese in it. The Churros was very nice, hot and crispy and with the Nutella was like the icing on top. ā¤ļø

Good service here is a constant which is really nice. The staff are very courteous and pleasant. Atmosphere is now and relaxed.
Had lunch here yesterday with a friend. We ordered a water melon juice and banana milkshake. Both were really tasty.
To start we tried the Humus and Pita bread. It surely lacked flavour. Was not my favourite.

For the mains we tried the Tangliatelle with Wild Mushrooms and the Grilled Chicken sandwich. Both were excellent. The sandwich has a very nice sauce that holds the dish together, a little spicy and flavourful. The pasta was delicious! Mushrooms seasoned so well, I would surely recommend trying this dish for a pasta lover.

Will surely be back.

Convenient location , valet parking and mole seating , Basilico is an on the move restaurant for the kids and me .
They have some delicious breads and confectionery should you wish to just pack some and move .
Great salads and a make your own salad option with great dressings
Despite Being a hard core non vegetarian family, My favourite is the soya and barley burger ..a must try
Their organic tomato soup is one of the best I've had for a long time
The pasta is a fairly large portion and is a regular meal for the child .
I totally recommend the caffeine free tea infusion.

Good quality food with a nice laid back ambience and competent staff.
Returned here after many years to realise that they seem to have retained the quality of their food ( which we loved back then too) but seemed to hav much less business than they used to. However, that worked nicely for us as we were a rather large group with kids- and we turned up without a booking.
After promptly taking over 25% of the area without gang, we went on to order a whole host of things and I must say that every single one of them were good.
The mezze platter for starter, saffron risotto with prawns and gnocchi were all stand out good.
Dessert was lovely too.
Would definitely recommend this for people who enjoy a calm ambience with great food.

This is a cute little place in Kala Ghoda almost on the end of the Causeway. The place has Valet Parking. It has a great ambience , lit just enough.
The service is great too , the servers are kind and prompt.
I got a chance to just try their Penne Paprika Pasta , which is pretty great. Their sauce was a little runny and the pasta could have been cooked just a little more , but it tasted well .Ā 

Hope to try more things here. They also have a small bakery range .

We visited this place for dinner and were completely taken by surprise since this place has made a lot of interesting changes in their menu as compared to earlier times.
They have introduced some interesting range of small bites , curries , pizzas , pasta and much more . Must say , the variety of food was great and had loads of options to pick from.

This place offers comfort food with a sophisticated twist in a vibrant and pleasing ambience .

We Tried

1) Roast Organic Tomato Soup - If you love soups this is surely going to make you happy. By far the best flavours used to make a tomato soup simply taste fantastic .

2) Hummus with grill pita - So fresh . This place has a bakery which sells breads and related products . So any item in bread will be very fresh . The hummus paste was just on point and when you have it you just know that the ingredients used to prepare the hummus are top notch quality .

3) Falafel and Labaneh Sandwich - Looks so appealing that we were confident it would be so tasty . The perfect quantity of exotic vegetables with nicely toasted bread . To make a tasty sandwich a lot depends on the selection of sauces and let us tell you it was simply great and perfect . The seasoning and flavour with the right mix of vegetables made the dish taste yum

4) Classic Cold Coffee - This place offers a great range of smoothies , juices , coffees . But we tried the simple cold coffee . The right blend of sugar and coffee is hard to get at times.

Chief Foodie Officer - Some places are so perfect just because they do not compromise on the selection of chefs , ingredients , quality and hospitality .
This is one of those places where you order anything and you will not be disappointed .
Must must drop by place ....

I love to come here. It's close to home and has a quaint and rustic feel to it. The food is good and when I look around the restaurant I see that everyone seems to be enjoying their orders. However, the service staff are a bit lax. There are always around 4 staff who all seem to be huddled behind the POS machine instead of moving around the tables to check on the guests. I always order my fresh lime soda first, however on three occasions it always came after the main course was served and after repeated reminders.

This doesn't deter me visiting everytime I am in Mumbai. I would recommend this place as the food is really consistent in quality and taste. Prices are.reaaonable.considering it's in South Bombay.

I love the salads and soups and also the fish and meat dishes. The deserts are to die for and we always end up taking one to share to soothe the sweet tooth !

I Will definitely up my rating if i find the service staff up to the mark on my next visit. Good tasting food, consistent in quality and plating adds to my satisfaction level when dining out. It's a sum of all factors.

Cafe Basilico is on the list for my 'have to visit places' when I visit home.

Dear Diary,
I have been to @cafe.basilico a few times and have never been disappointed. All their dishes were delicious and I must say their Oreo Shake is perfect. I have tried their Hummus with Grill Pita, Primavera Pizza, Chargrilled Veg Lasagne, Three Cheese Gnocchi, Mac & Cheese, Cafe Basilico's Basil Chicken & Rice, Oreo Cookie Shake & Mud Pie with Vanilla Ice Cream. Each of their dishes were well cooked. The ambience is quite small but perfect to grab a bite with your friends after shopping in Colaba market.

Cafe Basilico is one of the many cafes that lie in Colaba. The ambience is very cosy and it feels very exclusive. The prices are on the higher side. We ordered the Lasagna and it was one of the best that I have ever had. Do try it. Coffees are also huge in quantity and definitely worth it. Would recommend if your wallet is full and you want amazing food.

Good and healthy food, service is good and fast. They have great variety desserts, I have got a chance to eat some desserts. Seating area is small but nice. I really loved the tea, desserts was too sweet but yummy. Nice place for dates and small groups. Must visit if you are in that area.

Had a lovely brunch here with the Mrs, we ordered the Hummus with Pita and paprika pasta. Rich creamy as advertised. And not forgetting the lovely cup of coffee that made me miss home even more.

Well went for dinner as a family.. food was good n loved the smoothies..though mentioned on the board avocado smoothie was missing from their menu !! Rest whatever we had ordered was decent .. one genuine prob about this place was parking ..had a small fight with the neighborhood building owner while trying to park the vehicle ..

A nice place among the chaos of the city, located at such a descent location. After roaming around Gateway of India, one can spend good time here while enjoying the delicious food. It was a good experience... Service needs a bit improvement as the staff doesn't pay attention to the customer after taking the order once.

This chic cafe punches way above its weight with a flavorful, varied, international menu. Located a 5 min walk from the Taj palace, they serve lunch, dinner, fresh baked bread, coffees, desserts, and more. Its pleasent, laid back, modern, air conditioned, and clean interior is a welcome respite from Mumbai's streets. Once inside, you get the feel that they probably have 'good' food. But they outperform that assumption. Their food, overall, is excellent! Well prepared and flavorful, their chefs definitely know what they're doing. If you like Moroccan, I'd suggest the lamb tagine - not an authentic tagine mind you, but their own tangy twist instead, which turns out delicious; the lamb (which is likely mutton), is tender like butter and plays perfectly with the vegetables - comes with couscous or rice. The mushroom sauce for the steak (water buffalo, not cow) is delicious and if you've never had water buffalo before, it tastes 95% like regular beef. The hummus and pita - some of the most delicious we've had after 3 months in India! Fantastic desserts as well. After several days in Mumbai, this turned out to be one of our favorite places.

Very nice milkshakes. Had the regular cold coffee which was perfect and Banana milkshake which was perfect too, not too sweet and perfect thickness. Worth the price.

Went here while we were on our way for a drive to Gateway last week. Was really in good mood for brunch, hence we decided on this place. It's a very cute little place where you'll get good food served on your table! What we ordered: * Cheese Fondue (4/5) : The texture of the cheese served with bread crumps was perfect. * Qyattro Formaggi & Jalapeno(5/5) : One of the best pizzas we ever had. It had mozzerallaparmesan, emmenthal, cheddar,gorgoanzola, bocconcini with jalapeno. Must visit place if you're in Colaba.

A nice cute place in the midst of all the crowds and noise nearby. They serve amazing breads and just the cheesiest pastas to go with it. Value for money and this ambience is just so darn adorable.

I had an excellent experience visiting this gorgeous cafe. Havenā€™t had a chance to eat anything but the coffee we had was simply excellent. This cafe is located just a short walk from Taj Hotel or Gateway of India. The neighbourhood is quiet and green. Seating area was clean and spacious enough. Cafe seems to have opened recently (after lockdown) hence the collections of pastries and cake was less. We ordered cafe latte (regular) and Americano (hazelnut flavour). Last time I have such good hazelnut americano was when I was working in South Korea (without any exaggeration). It was strong, flavourful and sweet at the same time. On request they reheated the coffee as we sat there for over an hour. I saw some of the snacks and food that were coming out of the kitchen for other guests and they looked delicious enough šŸ¤Ŗ If you are staying in colaba or around that area, this place is nice to hang out and get rejuvenated. Shall be visiting again.

The menu is the same but there are qualitative changes. Like the Mediterranean platter is bigger and better. The dessert options have reduced but their bread options have increased tremendously. So it's good
