The food is incredible. We got the lamb shanks and a chicken main and both were divine. The lamb was tender and juicy. The chicken was juicy and the veggies on the side were full of flavour.
The staff is cordial and kind. The wines were amazing too.
Overall a lovely restaurant, especially for a special meal.
♨️Recently made a visit to 266- The Wine Room & Bar. The place is based in Linking Road (Bandra). The place is really a hidden gem in Bandra.

Another thing too fascinating about 266 was the use of local ingredients for better quality food.
