Fat Man's Cafe

Recently I had been craving for some yummy hearty food in my tummy. After all the buzz about this cosy place in Bandra Reclamation, I finally visited the Fat Man’s Cafe. It is an accentuation of a small space, with its whitewashed walls punctuated with occasional bursts of bright colour, and just the right dose of quirky graffiti to hold your attention.

 It cannot be easily spotted but once you’re in, you wouldn’t want to leave. I went to this place on a weekday, afternoon and was lucky enough to find a good corner. The interiors are thoughtfully done with single pendant chandeliers, wooden tables, chairs with stripes and psychedelic prints. The chairs range from vintage to benches.  The dominating lime green and sky blue colours manage to keep the essence of the logo alive. 

We began with calling for the healthy dish of Sautéed Vegetables (145) and Garlic Bread (125) in the sides. Every vegetable comprising the dish was well stirred with herbs and it was the perfect garlic and spring onion sauté. Garlic and herbs again dominated the taste of the Garlic bread that was over within seconds. I personally am a lover of the garlic and herbs mixture. 

 It was time to increase our appetite with some loaded food coming. As we called for the Jacket Potatoes stuffed with Chipotle Corn Cheese (240). This was well garnished with chives. The corn cheese blended well in chipotle.  The taste however, was not as promising.  We then chose a Portobello Mushroom Slider with French fries (330).  The crunchy buns had mushrooms bursting with generous feta spinach mash inside. The pesto added the right amount of juiciness and flavour to it. This dish was a relish.

To end the meal with a Main Course we customized the home-made Fettuccine Pasta in red and cream sauce. I went into another marvelling with perfect creaminess and spice with every bite (395).  We spent quite some time there with our conversations and wait for the dishes. The service was really slow. The Jacket potatoes took 20 minutes to come. Our order for the ice tea too was not punched, making us cancel the order. 

Overall I personally had a good time and would definitely pay another visit to this place.

Things to look forward to: Refreshing ambience with single pendant chandeliers, the Team in the Kitchen that had mastered the art of finessing the dishes.
