This being my first review on the restaurants in Mumbai that I have tried, I will try to follow the general tradition of reviewing and commenting.New Lucky Restaurant is the first restaurant that I come across as I leave Navy Nagar and enter Colaba market and hence I chose this as the starting place for my reviews.
Price : Expensive
What we had : Two starters : one veg and another non-veg, rice noodles along with prawn main course. One Iced Peach Tea, One Strawberry mocktail and another mixed fruit mocktail. (Billed at nearly 1400-1500 for 3)
The place is rather small and not so easy to locate (and probably a new one too!) even though it’s not in any by-lane, and hence I guess are the really few hits on Google. The place serves Thai cuisine, well at least the menu seemed so.
We ordered for a Tofu starter along with another Chicken starter followed by a main course consisting of Rice Noodles along with a Prawn side dish. Actually, I don’t remember any names now as it had been quite a few months since I have been to this place and it was not a very pleasant experience though I would say the food is passable in taste but quite small in quantity for the price tag attached.
Tofu was good, esp. it was not burnt; which I did have to suffer twice before. The chicken starter was the best of the lot and was properly marinated and cooked which the Prawns in the main course suffered from asĀ they were partly raw even though they were fried. Well actually, the main course had Rice Noodles which we though had chicken. After we finished the Noodles we were expecting the chicken to arrive and were a bit surprised to realize that it indeed had chicken. So, then I came to realize that it indeed had the flavor of chicken. Well, that’s for the chicken noodles
. This is not a highly recommended item from my behalf. Do try their regular main course rice which is supposedly better.
Iced peach tea came as a saviour from the main course. It was the best of the Iced peach tea that I had till that time in Mumbai. Though the rest two did not look appetizing (or should I say rather flamboyant for something that consisted of standard strawberry ice cream put in a mixer and served in a tall glass!). So recommendations on the drinks side consists of only Iced peach tea and nothing else.
Overall, the place can be rated passable. If you are bored of other places, then it’s worth a try at least for the menu. Service is quite slow for a place that had only us dining at that time.
