So Saturday night we entered this little beautiful cafe. Just next to Starbucks Juhu. Its totally packed on weekends. Its a cafe setup in an open space.

Food : As name says they are master in Bagels. It was first time for me with these Bagels. Good option replacing regular bread for sandwiches.

We ordered following :

1) Classic Fries : Crisp, Hot fries served in a wonderful looking cone attached to a stand. It is served with 3 dips.

2) Bagel Sandwich with Asian spiced cottage cheese : A big bagel cut in two pieces and stuffed with spiced cottage cheese and peppers. It was quite different so its a must try.

3) Irani Omelette : They also serve some egg items and found this a bit different. Tasted good with bread slices.

4) Penne Pasta : This pasta with lot of veggies and alfredo sauce was amazing and quite heavy. It is served with Bagel Garlic Bread.

5) Hazelnut Chocolate Shake : Served in a jar totally chilling shake, sinfully delicious. Perfect balance of sweet, Chocolate and Hazelnut.

6) Banana Caramel : Banana shake with Caramel tastes wonderful.

7) Virgin Mojito : A classic mocktail they have kept it as classy it can be. Totally refreshing.

8) Sobo Cheese Chilly Maggy :   winner dish of today's dinner. Perfect balance of cheese and chopped chilly rings gives you perfect spice as you bite that cheesy maggy.

9) Belgium Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Icecream : This is the ultimate dessert to end your food trail. Hot gooey cake topped with Vanilla Icecream. Wonderful taste and combination.

Ambiance : This cafe is built such brilliantly, just next to Starbucks. The place where this cafe stands is actually an outer space of the building. However they have made brilliant setup and decorated the roof with hanging colorful umbrellas. For cooling down they have two jumbo fans and multiple small fans. They offer free Wi-Fi, free board games to play. I saw people hanging here with groups for hours. Totally impressed!

Service : Ahmed, very quick and courteous. He suggested a couple dishes and they were absolutely delicious. Though it was crowded he tried accommodating everyone's small requests as early as he could do. After that he also took the feedback.

VFM : I think with the location you cannot expect it to be cheaper. However they have priced everything decently. Average 150 per dish that too at Juhu is a nice deal. Moreover the quantity is also good and justifying to the price.

It is like India vs USA, here Starbucks being USA and Grain & Bagels India people choose as per their budget and appetite. Overall a nice place to hangout with all your gang and click pics while you have delicious food. Totally going back if we get an opportunity to go to Juhu.
