With over 70 delectable items comprising classic bar food favourites to an array of lunch and dinner meals including pizzas, burgers, pasta, Indian delights and the signature items – Tikkas (Kebabs) and Draft beer which gives a wholesome experience to customers.

Last Saturday, I and hubby went to Prime Time which is a newly launched sports bar at R-City Mall, Ghatkopar, Mumbai. They have lot of games and bowling, laser room, archery,etc., so it’s like spending a good 3-4 hours and also have your lunch/dinner at their restaurant Wembley.

We reached quite late in the afternoon and headed for lunch at first as we were quite hungry and also there was a corporate booking, so lots of guests for games and bowling.

Wembley has everything from Indian starters to Italian pastas to American Cheese French Fries and Burgers. I loved the variety of cuisines offered. Also they have a separate drinks menu which includes all sorts of Cocktails,Beers, and the usual.

I went with a Breezer and ordered BlackBerry which was out of stock sadly. I wasn’t expecting Blackberry and Cranberry to be out of stock on a Saturday though,I had to go with Jamaican Passion.

Let me tell you,we ordered smaller portions to try out more dishes, so do not go by this quantity.

For food, we started with Cheese French Fries which were hot and crisp, I would have liked a little more cheese though as the fries were quite a lot comparatively.

Nachos with Cheese Sauce and Mexican Beans,super yummy is the word for this. Amazing salsa sauce and a perfect blend of cheese,beans and salsa on the crispy nachos.

Classic Burger was just perfect, soft buns and a perfect patty,one of the best burgers I have tried.

Veg. Popcorn which was served with mayo, it was nice but slightly under cooked. You know how fried stuff tastes a bit raw from the inside.

Crispy Chilli Potatoes where small pieces of potatoes were deep fried and mixed in the dry chilli garlic gravy. Very,very spicy :/ I am someone who loved spicy food, but this was actually very spicy.

Last thing we tried was Soufiya Paneer Tikka, super soft paneer and perfectly grilled on the tandoor. The saunf (aniseeds) gave it a royal touch and the spices were just perfect and the paneer was well marinated.

I wanted to try the Pizza or Pasta but was too full by then, maybe next time.

Then we went to play games. We were heading for bowling and even changed our shoes, but hubby reminded that I shouldn’t do bowling as it would involve lifting weight and bending which is not good for my spine currently, which I completely forgot. Hence, we skipped bowling and tried the laser games in the laser room. We played the Laser Squash, Hit & Run and hubby tried the Mission Possible. This is the first time, I tried laser games and they were definitely fun. Recommend trying them for sure.

We also played some throwball. They also have massage chairs in between, where you can just take a break and get your back massaged for some time.

The concept of this sports bar is similar to Smaaash at Lower Parel, though I haven’t been there but hubby has.

Overall, I would say, it’s a fun place to go with your friends and chill out,play some games and have yummy food. I liked the food in totality, plus it is also very reasonably priced. A big thumps up from me.

Now next when you are confused what to do on a weekend, you know where to head 🙂

P.S: I was invited by the sports bar but that has not affected my opinion.

Food Review: Fuhgeddaboudit at Botticino,Trident BKC

Food Review: Fuhgeddaboudit at Botticino,Trident BKC

Hi guys,

We went to Botticino at Trident, BKC yesterday for lunch. They have this Fuhgeddaboudit festival going in which is all about light ‘on the go’ Italian power lunch from 16th to 19th May.

About the fest: Fuhgeddaboudit! Italian gangsters, or ‘wiseguys’, love to eat. With one eye on the pasta and another on the clock, they’re always on the lookout for a great meal. So you might just bump into one at Botticino, where we’re serving some unforgettable Italian power lunches. Whether you’re a Godfather, or one of the Goodfellas, or just another wiseguy, you won’t be able to “fuhgeddaboutdit”!

Manager at Botticino, Alisha Rampal and the Chief Chef, Sushil Multani explained us a bit about the fuhgeddaboudit festival and what it involves. How it is supposed to be light and quick and inspired from the Italian mafias.

These are the items included in the Italian fest.

Coming to the food, we were served fresh bread with a dip, at the start. It was quite fresh and some of them were really nice.

I went with the Chandon Brut Rose and hubby went with his favourite Sula Satori.

For the appetisers, we were served Compressed watermelon and goat cheese salad with citrus fruits, roasted pine nuts and lemon vinaigrette. Chef told us how the watermelon is compressed with kaffir lime leaves and the blend with citrus fruits, feta and roasted pine nuts was delish.

And the Tomato and Bocconcini with fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes.

For main course, we were served Eggplant Parmigiana and Spinach Ricotta Crepes with roasted tomato sauce. The crepes were nice. I did like the blend of flavours in the Parmigiana but I am not a fan of eggplant, so couldn’t have much.

Since the food was taking time, we were served orange sorbet in between which was quite refreshing.

And lastly, the Penne Arabiatta pasta with garlic, chilli flakes and tomatoes. Ok, so I like my pasta with an extra dash of olive oil and lots of parmesan. While this was supposed to be light and had no cheese, I missed my Parmesan. I wish I could have added the Parmesan additionally on top.

For the desserts, we had Panacotta with seasonal fruits and raspberry coulis topped with cinnamon honey and hubby went with Mango Cassata.

The panacotta was light and absolutely yummy with the fruits and a tinge of cinnamon honey in between every bite.

I was not very pleased with the waiting time though. For every dish, we had to wait for 20-25 minutes,and I thought according to the theme of the fest, it was supposed to be quick and ‘on the go’. Though I appreciate the chef cooked stuff fresh for us, but we were getting late, I hope that is not the case always.

Nonetheless, the food was nice and I had a great time. If you love Italian food, make sure you go for the fuhgeddaboudit festival at Trident, BKC. Tom is the last day!
