Café Mangii has been recently renovated (I mean it’s been a few months already) and it looks and tastes spanking new and fresh.
Food: I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of ingredients, the freshness of the food and the fact that the meats were all cooked well and not overcooked. We ordered the Gnocchi in spinach which was really yummy, the Prawns in Butter Garlic Sauce are skippable and the Cajun Chicken which was juicy, tender were great (though I didn’t understand where it featured on an all Italian menu). However, the piece de resistance in the starters was this warm mushroom salad… It was so tasty and literally melted in your mouth, they had this lively slightly piqant chilli and garlic flakes that really contrasted well with the salad leaves at the bottom. Seriously mouth watering. The Grilled Pomfret in mustard sauce was cooked to perfection with a wonderful balance of mustardy and herby. The succulent pieces just disintegrae in your mouth and infuse a beautifully balanced and delicate flavour in your taste buds. The Minute steak and Grilled Chicken met expectations. The Pizza was lovely, crispy and was made in a wood fire oven.
Beverages: They don’t serve Indian Beer, but the atmosphere is such that you like to sit with a nice mocktail, wine or something on the fancier side. They also have some good Scotches on the menu. The servers have a good knowledge of the drinks and the mocktails are yummy. I would however, personally suggest a wine with the meal as the atmosphere is such.
Service: The service was really good and a refreshing change to see people who had their food and beverage etiquette in order. Our server made some really good suggestions (like the mushrooms) and was really particular about serving in the correct manner. The stellar service really notched up this place for me in my eyes.
Atmosphere: I loved the lighting, it was perfect. It was not too bright and not too dim. Really lovely little bulb lights (which my friend Tasneem pointed out to us like the ever observant designer she is :) ) and the whole colour scheme was pleasing with browns and beiges, simple and comfortable chairs and nice ivory white table linen.
Final Verdict: I likie! will come back
