Spaghetti with Chicken Meatballs and Marinara Sauce

Slurp, slurp
First up, we called for the Tequila N Strawberry Golarita (Rs 300), which brought back memories of slurping golas at Juhu beach, incidentally a few minutes away from here. With strong flavours balanced well by the icicle, we loved this version of the margarita.

Next, we tried Tharra (Rs 250), expecting it to include sugarcane or wheat husk a la the rustic brew from UP. What appeared in a desi daaru bottle was a concoction of house-made citrus rum and lemonade. While we could barely taste the tangy lime, the citrus rum was potent, and complemented the eats.

Bhavnagar to Italy
A fusion of local and global flavours, the food menu features nibbles, charcoal-grilled fare and even, pre-plated meals. We started with Cheese Stuffed Bhavnagri Chillies (Rs 250). The crispy, not-too-spicy stuffed chillies were appetising and the mayonnaise dip added to the drama.

While we were keen to try the Malvani-style Crispy Fried Tempura, the coastal-spiced masala was unavailable and so, we settled for Tandoori Fish Tikka (Rs 375). Grilled to perfection, the well-marinated chunks of fish were melt-in-the-mouth. From the limited meal options, we picked Spaghetti With Chicken Meatballs and Marinara Sauce (Rs 350). With portions sufficient for one, the tender and spicy meatballs complemented the spaghetti cooked in a tomato-based sauce.

Satiated and buzzed, we'd be happy to return to this pocket-friendly lounge, especially to down a few shots and then, take up a tongue-twister challenge with the bar's name.
