Close to something looking like a tree house, Mumbai Matinee takes a Bollywood lover through her favourite tales
FoodAfter a hectic day and work, I found myself a secret gem, Mumbai Matinee. This is a paradise for Bollywood addicts, which I proudly am. Located near the powerhouse in Shahpur Jat, this is a complete tree house café (just not in wood). You climb up a flight of stairs in a mesh decorated with those 90’s audio cassettes, that ofcourse all of us had at some time and loved playing with them. I started going back to my childhood memory lane from the entry itself. These audio cassettes reminded me of rolling them back with a pencil and the happiness it gave.
Located above HDFC Bank in the quaint little B6 market and spread over 3 floors, Depot 29, a restaurant with a unique Tex-Mex menu, derives its name from the PIN code of the area it is situated in, Safdarjung Enclave. We exited the lift on level 3 and I was instantly taken in by the wonderfully done interiors. This floor has a kitchen that is right in the middle of the seating area but care has been taken to separate the two using toughened glass. During the entire time that we were seated there, we were not disturbed by any unnecessary noise or smell from the kitchen – a testimony to the smart planning of the owners.
It’s the era of health and fitness, and we don’t really want to have aerated drinks, but even if we say goodbye to them, do we really have options? Yes, we do have various drinks available in tetra packs and bottles but most of them are loaded with extra sugar and preservatives, Do we really want to consume them? Then the best option is fruit juices available at various stalls but the big question us how hygienic are those?
I recently found my alternative at Crudo Juicery in Galleria Market, Gurgaon which opened just 4 weeks back by Amit Sahni, a health & fitness enthusiast in his mid 30’s who is back after 18 years from Australia. He comes from the hospitality industry and has always been a foodie. To find the right alternative in India, he took countless trips to numerous big and small food joint in and around Gurgaon, all in vain. He finally decided to nurture his dream- a quest to find “healthy” delicious & mouth-wateringly scrumptious food. And hence was born Crudo Juicery.

This time we went out to the newest outlet of Junkyard Cafe, located in the popular Rajouri Garden market. In line with their theme of using junk items stylistically, Umang Tewari and team have used unconventional items to set up the decor. Some of the items that we saw were: drums being used for the bar counter and as pillars, old wines bottles being used as lighting, and old milk containers, shock absorbers, and other spare parts being used as decorating items. Other interesting items we noticed were: part of an old ambassadors’ body hung up next to the bar counter; and a Mona Lisa portrait made entirely out of junk.
