If you want to eat the best , you must find the best. No better place to find the best restaurant belonging to a distinctive cuisine than our very own Bandra , Queen of suburbs as they say! Imbiss serves you with the best German, European and Continental food. If you're around Bandra and craving for a meaty appetite , you must look at for Imbiss- Divine would be an understatement truly.
Once inside a restaurant choosing your meal is always a hard nut to crack unless you're a person who doesn't ventures in trying out new dishes. Bavarian Ham and cheese Sandwich which is the result of thin slices of bacon served on farmers bread grilled with cheese. Lamb and mint sausage (heavenly) served on a bed of mashed potatoes. Crackling, crispy fried pork rind with hot sauce . I never expected to eat rice served with spicy Mexican Chorizos served on a bed of lettuce , topped with mushroom and fried duck egg.

2) Woodside Inn
Located just opposite the iconic Regal cinema besides cafe Royal this place could be overlooked due to its small and unnoticeable entrance. However the moment you enter inside you will be shell shocked by it's mammoth size presenting you an experience of an English pub.
Appetizers with alcohol is cherished by everyone and Woodside Inn doesn't fail to deliver. Grilled harrisa chicken skewers, fish fingers with tartare , grilled scalion pesto prawns , pan cakes with hummus and grilled vegetables should boast your meal. Cheese lovers, a cheese platter is just waiting to mesmerize you and uplift you in trance.
Vegetable lasagna was always a disappointment until the one I tried here. Citrus paprika chicken, Basa with cluster beans is always a must on every table . Pasta lover would just dwell for Woodside Inn with such varied choice of sauces which definitely fascinates you.
This couldn't get any better, could it?
