Review : The Big Small Cafe + Bar

Location : Sakinaka, Andheri East, Mumbai

When : Oct 2021

We chose this place for one of our meet ups. Chose this simply based on the location convenience and the pictures on Zomato. When I reached there, ( right outside it, in front of the door ) I had my doubts about the place as it was on top of Mahesh Lunch Home, in the middle of nowhere ( basically there weren’t any good restaurants around and it came across odd to be in such a locality) But once inside, we were relieved. The place is quite big with the usual modern restrobar set up. Music, Décor and the look & feel is quite good too.

Here is what we had from their menus

Pesto Sandwich Paneer Tikka ( INR 280) Recommended ! Good portion and tasted quite delicious too.

Corn and Jalapeno Ricotta Kebabs ( INR 280) – The ricottta in this tasted quite weird for some reason and the texture of the dish also didn’t feel right. There was something missing for sure. When we pointed this out we were told that, this is how Ricotta Cheese tastes !

Mangolian Pot Rice (INR 300) : Good portion. Balanced taste! Safe pick.

Mocktails

Can’t seem to get hold of their new menu with the cocktails that we had. However here are the pictures. These were quite delicious !

On a Saturday afternoon this place was full. Service was good. Especially the manager was very attentive.

Pros : Portions, Ambiance, Service

Cons : The pink sauce used as a dressing for plating. It just doesn’t go well with the food !

Verdict :

A good hangout spot for Sakinaka peeps. Judging by the mocktails, cocktails must be good too!

Ambiance – 5/5

Service – 5/5

Value for money – 4/5
