Juhu is an plain culinary hotspot, particularly on the subject of stylish cafes. Blabber All Day is among the newest openings within the locality and marks the cafe’s second location within the metropolis (there’s additionally one in Borivali East). The house in Juhu carries ahead the European vintage-inspired aesthetics of the unique, with chandeliers, pastel prints and gentle lighting. It additionally boasts of a equally elaborate meals and drinks menu, with quite a lot of Asian, Indian and fusion delicacies. We lately received the prospect to style a few of them and we didn’t come away disillusioned.

We started with a Tibetan Thukpa, which was a healthful and flavourful begin to our meal. It did have a slight tang that we didn’t anticipate. We determined to proceed with an Asian appetiser, with a signature twist. This was the Chef’s Special Chilly Cheese Dim sum with creamy Philly cheese, water chestnut, chilli oil and crispy garlic. The dim sum wrappers had been delicately gentle (with out being chewy) and contained nothing however yumminess inside. The items melted in our mouths with small bursts of flavour. These dim sums had been one of many highlights of our night and a deal with we might undoubtedly return to the cafe for.

For these wanting an Indian starter, we suggest the Harissa Chicken Tikka. The hen was cooked and flavoured completely. Not too fiery but spicy sufficient, we fortunately relished it with the mint chutney offered. We additionally tried the Korean Tofu Baos. The buns got here stamped with the cafe’s title, which was an attention-grabbing contact. The stuffing was frivolously crunchy and had a touch of sweetness. Although tasty, spice lovers would largely not like this one.

For the primary course, we determined to go for what’s a standard order at many cafes: Mac & Cheese. We consider that it isn’t at all times simple to get a well-worn basic proper, particularly in as we speak’s age of weird pasta experiments. But Blabber handed our take a look at with flying colors. Their addition of Truffle essence was an excellent name, and we savoured each chew of the piping-hot pasta. However, it might have been even higher if it had been served with a chunk of garlic bread. Note that this model of Mac & Cheese had a thick tacky base. If you like to have a lightweight and runny sauce, you won’t prefer it as a lot.

Another predominant course dish we opted for was the Chilly Basil Sauce With Paneer Fried Rice. The sauce was really a Thai-Style gravy. It was fragrant and full of items of paneer that retained their softness. However, the dish as a complete did not pack as a lot warmth as we had been anticipating. Nevertheless, we did discover it scrumptious, particularly because the fried rice was additionally ready fairly properly. We discovered ourselves having fun with a few of it even with none gravy or toppings.

_{The Berry Smoke mocktail (proper) is a must-try}

The Cafe has a powerful drink menu with a variety of alcoholic in addition to non-alcoholic choices. In the latter, yow will discover basic favourites like thick shakes, coffees, ice teas and the like. But what we particularly appreciated was their distinctive alternative of mocktails, a few of which had uncommon flavour combos. After consuming such a heavy meal, we performed it secure with a Citrus Cooler, but in addition took an opportunity on the cafe’s signature Berry Smoke Mocktail. The cooler was far too icy, however the concoction itself was pleasurable and never overly candy or bitter. As for the Berry Smoke, it gained our hearts from the primary sip. The drink was flavoured with cranberry in addition to basil and had a captivating pink hue. But it was the cinnamon smoke that gave it that additional edge, by way of theatrics and style.

Among the candy dishes, we tried the Chef’s Special Nitro Rose Cheesecake. The theatrical factor of this deal with was fascinating as properly – we had been requested to crush the frozen rose petals by hand, proper on prime of the cheesecake. The dessert was delicately candy and gentle. Thankfully, they didn’t go overboard with the rose flavour, as is so typically the case. It was a sublime method to mark the tip of our night.

The presentation of every of the dishes was decidedly enticing. One can not help however take a number of fairly photos earlier than digging in! This consideration to aesthetics can be mirrored within the general atmosphere, which would offer a beautiful Instagrammable background. But even when that is not your precedence, the cafe appears to be a comforting haven (that too one full of mouth-watering meals). Whether it is a group outing with associates, a comfy date or a household gathering, this new cafe and bar could be a nice alternative.
