90 FT Above - Borivali (West) Mumbai, India

90 FT Above is a rare find in Borivali. The reason for this rarity is the fact this is a roof top restaurant in an area like Borivali.  This place lived up to my expectation which was build up by my friends. There were 3 of us who went to this place It's a huge place and its divided in two sections- one is the open roof top and next to it is the covered dining area for a quiet formal or family dinner.


Ambiance - The place is crowded as its the only roof top restaurant in Borivali. The ambiance due to the lighting and the decor makes it a perfect place to go for a dinner. The view from this place was amazing, definitely worth it to go for the view. The music is pretty decent and adds to the ambiance of the place


Food - To start the meal, we had “Pani Puri Shots”. The surprise was the 'pani' used. As we were expecting the traditional pani puri, we got the taste of exotic flavors in the pani. The mock tails were all good and as the day we went there was an offer of buy two and get the third mock tails free. The dal fry is something I would recommend, though slightly spicy than the normal fare, its just amazing. To be honest, really not a big Pav Bhaji lover, but we tried it on the recommendation of the server. This was good (though still don't pav bhaji that much). For me the best dish was "CHAAP E KHAAS". As  being a non-vegetarian I know the texture of meat and with this dish which is made from soya and wheat is THE appetizer to order. We couldn't believe we were not have a non vegetarian fare. Its Served on a stick, it’s a nice medium spicy dish that you’ll really enjoy.Fir Dessert, I would recommend to try the Rose and Paan Ice- Cream.

Service - The service was really quick and we were guided really well throughout.The staff was also really helpful and provided honest opinion and suggestion to go with one's choice. we had a great time over here & would plan for some more visits to this place.

Price - This place is worth a visit for all he things from experience of a roof top restaurant to its Ambience & the food.

Rude Lounge Malad (West) - Mumbai

Rude Lounge is located in Malad (W) link road. This place stands out among the many pubs now present in malad as it is the only one which is on a rooftop & is open air. I visited this place some time back now. The purpose of the visit was to just relax with some of the friends and have a good time. And that's what we experienced in this place.

Ambiance- This place has a roof top which makes it a great place in it self.And there are no space congestion issues too which we find in some of the places in a city like Mumbai. The ambiance is amazing, compared to the other places that you visit this one has a good positive buzz as soon as you enter and it definitely helps the mood to just relax and enjoy. You'll enjoy more over here when you're with a big group. As soon as you enter you will see how amazingly decorated the place is! The daaru-fied quote frames are quite good, personally I felt that some very funny & some lame, but looks good!The atmosphere and lighting are pretty good as well!. The DJ was good & the music enhancing the good times we were all looking out for.

Food- The menu is decent however there is definitely room for improvement. We had some starters in Veg & non-veg which were nice (nothing to rave about).

Nachos- very out of this world (not in a good way). It lacked both quantity & taste
Cheese corn balls- Cheese content was good, nicely fried and not overcooked so yes we liked it!
Triple schezwan rice: Not bad again. Slight spicing up is needed (according to me), but it was good, nothing to complain about this one!.

If you plan to go for drinks you wouldn't be disappointed as the drinks are cheap. They have happy hours until midnight.

Service - The staff was co-operative & helpful. The only issue was that during billing it took us a long time (30 minutes & more) after we were done.

Price- This place is slightly over priced when it comes to food. The price for drinks are very reasonable

Here's my review.
