We flip through the menu and opt for their cappuccino (Rs 120), made of organic beans sourced from a single estate, zucchini carpaccio (Rs 270) and hand-cut assorted fries (Rs 170) from the appetisers, and manicotti sun-dried tomato (Rs 370) and Sicilian pizza (Rs 480) for the mains.

While the pricing isn't on the exorbitant side, we do feel that the menu could be more expansive, offering more pocket-friendly nibbles, considering this is attached to a place where artistes come in to perform, rehearse and attend workshops.

Manicotti sun-dried tomato

The carpaccio arrives first, and while the zucchini has been sliced wafer-thin, the dish would have tasted better without its generous dousing in olive oil. The fries are delicious, coated in a spice mix and served with ketchup, mayo and mustard. The pasta, however, comes once again swimming in a pool of olive oil, and tastes little of sun-dried of tomatoes. The Sicilian pizza makes up for it somewhat, though.

The interiors

Would we return to G5A? Yes, to catch a theatrical or music performance. But we might only make a pit stop at Port for the fries, and instead, pick a restaurant from the buzzing F&B scene in the neighbouring Lower Parel.
