White Charcoal

White Charcoal inside Hotel Empresa is an impressive fine dine place with lovely classy decor and huge seating arrangements. The staff is polite and courteous. The place is insanely clean and felt good as soon as we entered. We were a group of 5-6 friends who were looking for a nice classy place to enjoy our Sunday Brunch. And WC was definitely a good pick. Food on our plate. **Coolers** Coconut Cooler - Amazing flavour of coconut fused with watermelon juice, a slice of watermelon and a cherry on top :) Kiwi Cooler - Loved this drink. A total green drink with lots of mint leaves, ice cubes, kiwi fruit and kiwi syrup with some sparkling water. Peach Iced Tea - Another great pick. We all loved this one. Nothing fancy about it, but the taste of peach was outstanding. Mango Cooler - This drink was pink in color, probably some syrup add on but it delivered a clean mango taste. Nothing more, pure mango. **Starters** Korean Bean Sprout Salad - Lettuce Iceberg, Rollo, cherry tomatoes, bean sprouts mixed well with ginger lemon and soya dressing. Topped with a Lavash this light salad was a good start. Minestrone Soup - A traditional Italian soup served with a delicious bread platter which had Olive Bread, Bread Rolls and Breadsticks. Dimsum Gyoza Veg - Fresh Veggies and mushroom stuffed and steamed with gyoza sheets. Amazing in taste. **Mains** Grilled Atlantic Salmon - Herb crushed Salmon with broccoli florets, spaghetti aglio e olio topped with a delicious reduction of orange sauce. This was my fav dish of the brunch. Do try this one for sure. Corn Polenta with Ratatouille Fungi e Ragu - Corn Polenta served on a bed of ratatouille and mushroom ragu. A definite hit dish. The Polenta tasted amazing and had a powerful crisp :) Saufiyani Biryani - Biryani with well balanced garam masala and cottage cheese with some vegetables served with Raita and the ever awesome Mirch ka Salan. Loved the salan. **Desserts** Mango Cheese Cake - Honestly i'm not a fan of mango cheesecake, so this was just another dessert for me. Tiramisu - Infused with Rum, this lovely Tiramisu made my day. So we spent a good time eating delicious food and sipping on colorful coolers. Do visit this place if you are a brunch lover. Btw, we also ordered lamb chops which looked delicious. I don't eat lamb so cannot comment. Sharing some pics. Have a look. **Namaste** Food - 4/5 Ambiance - 5/5 Hygiene - 5/5 VFM - 3/5

An open air restaurant located inside the premises of Empress hotel just in front of the entrance gate. Valet is available in the hotel premises. The price of food and beverages are normal. The entire restaurant has been decorated with a green architecture with a wall dedicated to plants and creepers. A perfect place to take picture. A giant screen is available in the middle of the restaurant and thus can be a great place during top sporting events. The waiters are very polite and helpful. However they need to be bit more attentive as finding them at times was difficult as they were not making eye contacts Tried their peri peri chicken that was above average. In the main course I tried grilled chicken and mushroom sizzlers served with rice made in Oriental style. It was indeed very tasty. In Sizzlers they have options to make it in Oriental or Mediterranean style. In Oriental it’s severed with rice while in Oriental Spaghetti is used. The patron can also choose between French fries or potato wedges or mashed potatoes as the side. I went in here reading it’s a Spanish place although it turned out to be different. Overall I believe a great place to hang out with friends at a budgeted price

Located at ground level of the Empressa Hotel, Andheri West, would say this would be a great place to spend your evening catching up with friends. However since the place is open it can warm especially during the day. We went there for lunch, though there are coolers placed everywhere. The ambience is nice and vibrant. They served modern indian continental, Italian and Mexican dishes. We tried the following dishes - Firstly was Khopoli Croquettas - nice fusion of Vada Pav in form of fried croquettes served along with mint chutney. Next we tried the Corn Cheddar Fritters. As name suggests corn fritters stuffed with cheddar cheese served along with jalapeno sour cream. Moving to mains, we called for the Farmer's Pizza topped with mushrooms, corn, onions, bell pepper, etc. Pizzas are thin crust! All in all a decent experience at Loco Loca. As mentioned earlier, great to visit in evenings, especially with lights on. Do pay a visit!

We were here on a treat from a friend on account of his bday. The place was quite empty and seats were easily available. I would give a benefit of doubt for it being a Monday. Coming to the ambiance, it's nice and spacious. You have an open roof concept. High chairs and regular sitting. We ordered Chef's special Nachos, Peri Peri chicken and few mocktails. The service is a bit slow in my opinion. Food tasted well. You may choose this place for a relaxed evening with friends.

Outdoor dining is the new thing, majority of the people prefer this nowadays. This place gets 5/5 for ambience. That big wall with all leafs makes this place more attractive. Open kitchen, perfect lights, high tables & huge screen all this elements makes this even more beautiful. Menu has ample of variety. They have Italian & maxican cuisine. Names might be confusing but just like other premium restaurants here also the service was excellent, avesh helped me in selecting the top items. We had plenty of items here like - Shish tawook, Char chicken tacos, peri peri chicken tikka pizza, sandwich bbc, chocolate shake, passion fruit & chilli. Among all the dishes we order my favorite was sandwich bbc. It was same like chicken baida roti which we get at kabab place. Tacos was nice but the salsa was prepared in house so i didn't liked it that much. Pizza was nice as i thought it might be out of the box but it was nice & taste was common. Then we ordered 2 dessert - whiskey smokey cigar & choco cookie ice-cream with fruits. choco cookie was the best dessert so far, ice-cream on top with a muffin filled with chocolate. I am in love with this dessert. Overall it's a beautiful place to eat, drink or to smoke hookah. Place is pretty big so no problem of waiting i guess. Service & food quality is of top notch. Food will not dissapointed you. Must visit.
