On the 13th of January 2017, my family and I went to this new place located at the Dalamal Tower in Nariman Point in Mumbai. Find the location HERE. World Streat Food is a recently opened restaurant (to be precise, it opened in August 2016). Its concept is simple: make available street food from around the globe in the comfortable environs of a restaurant where you can sit and eat them at leisure.
In my conversation with their marketing manager Ms. Shachi Mody, I learned a bit more about this eating out place. It is one of the several eating outlets that have opened or are opening in the city of Mumbai. Even as we ate, one more outlet of this chain is being readied to be opened within a few months, Ms Mody informed me. The entire chain is owned by an Indonesian businessman of Indian origin and their website lists all their other ventures as well as outlines their vision etc.
Review:
When we reached the place (without a reservation), we found it to be fairly full, but there were a few empty tables and we were seated immediately.
We began our journey down the lanes of Asia with a Tom Kha soup with chicken. My daughters do not have soup, hence they ordered mocktails - while Inas ordered the strawberry shake, Hannah had the blueberry smoothie - and both were very tasty indeed.
While we were having our soup, we observed that the waiters were very busy entertaining a food reviewer at the next table. This lady had a professional photographer who kept taking pictures of each dish as it was brought to the table. Presently, we began to converse with her. She was Geeta Sridhar, and she is a top reviewer for Zomato. She also has a food blog - and it was her blog that actually stimulated me to start this food blog as well!
After the soup and the shakes, we ordered a starter in the form of Kung Pao chicken dumplings. This dish was steaming hot when it arrived at our table. It was within a bamboo container. The dumplings were quite delicious and not at all spicy.
For the main course, we chose a Sri Lankan Chicken Kottu Roti, which, actually, was delectable. We got so busy eating, I forgot to take photos of the newly arrived dish.
After this, we had the Mozambique Jerk Fish and finally, the Sumatran Lamb rendang. This was a rice and lamb dish that literally tasted like Indian or Mughlai lamb and rice, only, it had the oriental flavours that we liked a lot. For the dessert, we ordered a three-flavoured pannacotta, at the recommendation of Ms Mody. It was really nice.
The entire meal was great. And it was quite reasonably priced. I think it set us off by a little less than INR 2000 - which, if you believe me, is less than 25 British pounds!
Rating:
Food: Five stars
Service: 4.5 stars
Ambience: 4.5 stars
Cost: 5 stars
Excitement ratio: 4.9
Overall rating: 4.5 - 5.0 stars.
Recommendation:
Do visit on weekdays if you don't want to wait. I think the exact foods you might want or really enjoy will be different from mine, but if you choose any thing we ate, you will really enjoy yourself.
