Romance all over : Silver Beach Cafe











Located in downtown Juhu near the Silver Beach is the Silver Beach Café. It is lose to the beach but it does not overlook the beach. Once you enter you feel that this is a small place, but it looks very cozy and inviting. I checked both ground floor and first floor seating and preferred the ground floor big benches overlooking the quiet street outside. Once I sat, everything seemed perfect to start off Friday night - the light music in background, the romantic seating and the street outside. The place gives a very European feel. We were a group of 4 people.








Food & Drinks - 

Since the group had both vegetarian and non vegetarians, we were able to try out a wide variety of starters. We ordered Sambal paneer starter, the baked potato in Moroccan spiced with salsa. Both starters were good, especially the spicy baked potato. In non veg we ordered – chewy chicken tangy curls and Balinese lamb skewers snack. Pizzas are a must try out. Drinks - especially wine collection is good.
Service- Clumsy but doable
Ambience- Crammed, but happy and music is great!
Price- Slightly overpriced, but the food is really good, so you will not complain.

Haibao- the seafood restaurant (Juhu)

Haibao is a new discovery for us. The Shabu Shabu form of cooking is only offered here in Mumbai.
This is a must visit place for all seafood lovers as I saw very interesting dishes of lobsters, prawns and scallops. Pity we both stick to our veggies and chicken. The place is beautifully decorated with lights and flowers- it has a very happy ambience and it can help you forget weekday blues and make a crackling start to the weekend. 




We ordered the tai sun chicken and dimsums in sauce along with Long Island iced teas. We liked our starters and for main course we ordered jasmine garlic fried rice and mix veg clay pot curry. Again the food was awesome, full marks to the taste, concept, innovation and presentation. The service was quite prompt and pricing was 3400 bucks for the food and 3 long islands.
