Get together: When Last Friday in Feburary '06

Hic ! When is a last call at daru places in Mumbai without falling-back on 24-coffes shops or mini-bar ?

[No, I do not wann open up my duty-free daru   ]

[SAUCY]

11.30 pm is the time to place last orders. 1.30 am is the official time for bars to shut down in Mumbai. They are very strict with these timings specially after all the dance bars have shut down There are humungous fines/arrests for non- compliance, so everybody shuts shop on time nowadays. People then move to night clubs / 24hrs coffee shops to drink some more

Mumbai GDF   still waiting for responses from others.

[Hemant]

Dear Friends,

I would love to join you in the GDF. Friday is a problem due to heavy evening traffic unless the meeting is in extreme south mumbai (I am at Nariman Point).

Could it be a Sunday brunch ? After all its endless eating and drinking that this forum is about !

The one at the Grand Hyatt is great, and overall I think its the best 5 star food in Mumbai.

But anywere else is ok too.

Hi Hemant - I have been wanting to have the Mumbai GDF for months now, sunday brunch sounds perfect, but when, how about the 8th of January ?

[SAUCY]

OK people so Anil is in India, we spoke and have decided that we do Brunch either Saturday 25th Feb or Sunday 26th Feb. We meet somehwere in Bandra / Juhu / Andheri. Anil will be  staying at the JWM and I am in Versova so Juhu is 10 mins away

[SAUCY]

Ok so Gourmet Street has been in touch and hes coming, so then there were three (Anil, GS and Me) anyone else joining us. We three are ok with either dates, so lets do Sunday Brunch guys, 26th February 2006, the first Mumbai GDF date is fixed (Phew)

[anil]

OK the brunch is now fixed. There is another minor matter - Friday evening/night a drinking night ? Afterall next day is a Saturday na ?
Pick a place and let's have a peg or two  
I have emailed a couple of other lurkers to join us.

Mumbai meet update: We meet at JWM (J W Marriott,Juhu) at 1130HR for a morning a drink (Mimosa,Bloody mary, Martini ..) and then decide on the Brunch.

RSVP SAUCY or me via PM.

[Suresh Hinduja]

Wish I could be there with you guys. Order one for me and then you all drink it up.
Ask for Executive Chef Christopher Baker and take pictures. That should get the ball rolling.  

[SAUCY]

Just got back from the Mumbai GDF, we were three Gourmet Street and Hemant ditched  but Anil, me and Harish (Anils friend from another website forum) had a good time, we spoke a lot, discussed everything under the sun about food n drinks. Btw people, Anil has a huge collection of music on his i-pod, every kind of music known to humans

Here are the pictures :

We met at the JWM in Anils room, had Grey Goose Vodka with Red Bull, was quiet happy after 2 large drinks



Moved onto to Regency, a nice seafood place I suggest to all my friends n clients



We had Prawns n mixed veggie



Mutton Lajawab



Fish Tandoori



Veg Maharani + Dal Makhani + Rotis



No place for desserts

P.S. Anil, it was a pleasure meeting you, lets do this again soon ok

[anil]

It was great to see SAUCY and another of my friend. SAUCY was really gracious in driving us from JWM to regency and then dropping me back @ JWM (It is really hot and humid in BOM - I have forgotten the BOM weather   )

Hemant called to say he could'nt make it.

[Saucy]Hey, one more thing, why dont we have a GDF Meet this coming Sunday, for like a brunch or something ? Good idea yes  

Sounds good. What's the price of a 5 star sunday brunch in Mumbai? I'm sure it's more than in Bangalore. I'm hoping to cash in on the sale of a few of my signature recipes.  

[SAUCY]

JW Marriot, Juhu - Indian and Continental 1150 with unlimited drinks and 850 without. Including taxes.

Taj Landsend, Bandra - Indian, Continental, Italian and Thai 999 with unlimited drinks and 799 without. Including taxes.

The LEELA, Sahar - Multicuisine 990 with unlimited drinks and 890 without. Including taxes.
