  Being a regular restaurant reviewer, it often falls upon me to find and fix a place for meetups, and this time it was no different. Door No. 1 was on my list for a while, and that’s where I reserved our table, the booking process being hiccup free. We arrived to what is a tiny place, dimly lit, and a group of performers belting out loud music. I was not aware of live performances being held here, else I would’ve chosen some other eatery, not being a fan of loud places. However, if you are the kind of person who enjoys live music, then this place will rock for you. We could barely hold any conversation, the singing overpowering any words we spoke, so our ordering and eating was quite quick. For drinks we had White Mischief, which was easy on the pocket thanks to the happy hours, and Virgin Mojito. The mocktail was standard, a little less mint would’ve been nicer. For starters we had French Fries, Beer Batter Fish Fingers and Caesar’s Salad. The fries were the first to be served, turning out to be good, like any other fries. The fish and the salad were up next, and both were quite good. The fish did not smell, though was a touch too oily, while the salad had a nice dressing so didn’t feel dry at all. Our next orders were Lahori Paneer Tikka, Cheese Corn Balls and Sauted Vegetables. The paneer was delicious, the veggies didn’t disappoint either, but what truly stood out were the balls. Super cheesy, yummy corn, crispy crust, I highly recommend them. For mains we opted for Italian, a pasta and a pizza. Penne Alfredo arrived first, and was the only real letdown of the night, being quite bland and not cheesy/saucy enough. Margherita pizza was much better, the bread wasn’t too thick or stiff, had loads of cheese so our taste buds had a good time. With that we wrapped up our meal and stepped out, our eardrums thanking us for the relief at last. To sum up then, Door No. 1 is truly a place to be at if you enjoy your music, karaoke and so forth. Food wise it gets most things right, the service is also is good, no complaints there. For people like me who like to have a quieter, relaxed chat, coming here during lunch hours is perhaps a better proposition.

  It’s a good place with lovely ambiance near reclamation in Bandra . You can be here to calm yourself after a hectic day with some really cool drinks. For food we had Chicken seekh kebabs,which were tender and juicy. Garlic Bread with cheese to have some crispy and cheesey effect on ourselves. Barbeque chicken wings had wonderful flavors of vinegar, barbeque sauce, spicyness,etc. Chicken chilly was pretty okay . Food rating 3/5 . Ambiance rating 4/5
