What can I say... I went to Cafe Royal a few weeks after
Clinton visited Bombay (remember when our streets were
actually cleaned.. at least the ones he travelled on) and
the food was absolutely phenomenal. However... recently
there has been a steady decline in the quality of food.
The last time I was there was about a week ago, and I
ordered a Paneer Shashlik. The Paneer was cold!! A sizzler
with cold food is unheard of. The staff, however was nice
enough to change the sizzler, not just reheat it which I
appreciated. However, the standard of food has fallen
drastically.
The place is definitely reasonable. Never had any drinks
there, only been there for the meals which are not too
expensive. The atmosphere requires some improvement and
the paintings on the wall are unique...
As to location of the restaurant, it is opposite
Regal Theatre, in Colaba, about a 5 minute ride from
Churchgate Station or CST Station.
