Sunday Drunch at The Little Door

Happy New Year everyone! I’ve gone to many restaurants since my last post due to friends visiting and various outings, but I haven’t made the time to blog during the holidays; therefore now I’ll be playing catch-up. I’ll still limit my posts to describe one or few restaurants at a time so that they aren’t too long to read.

————————————————————————————————-

A few weekends ago, I decided to travel to Andheri West to have “Sunday Drunch” at The Little Door. As the name implies, drunch means unlimited booze to go with brunch. Google Maps helped me find the little blue door on a relatively quiet street:

There were inside and outside seating; since it was a nice day (not too hot) and I love al fresco dining in general, we opted for outdoor seating. The ambience was very much to my liking:

Even the bathrooms were cutesy:

The Sunday Drunch prices were fixed for two starters, one entree, unlimited drinks, unlimited salad bar, and unlimited dessert bar. We started off with drinks:

Priam got a mojito while I decided to try the Bloody Mary. They both tasted okay, pretty strong.

Next, our eggs came out:

The starter pictured above was called “Eggs on the Beach”, and it consisted of eggs, mushrooms, and prawns paired with butter garlic toasts. The flavors of the mushrooms and prawns were barely there though, so my eggs tasted practically like regular scrambled eggs. It’s not bad, just nothing special.

I think Priam’s first starter (pictured above) consisted of eggs and ham (sorry can’t recall fully), although similar to mine, I tasted mostly just egg when I tried it. The toast is average as well.

My second starter consisted of mushrooms stuffed with cheese and jalapenos:

These basically tasted like jalapeno poppers that you can get frozen in a bag from a grocery store.

Priam’s second starter consisted of chilly garlic prawns:

These were strictly okay too.

The indoor salad bar (which had more than just salads) looked a lot more promising:

I was pretty excited, so I loaded up two platefuls of food. This was one of the plates:

There was a large variety to choose from, and the flavor of most of the items were pretty good. There weren’t really any outstanding or terrible items in this mini-buffet.

While we were eating, we were given shots without asking:

I do not know what these were nor do I remember how they tasted, so basically they weren’t memorable.

After finishing my second plate of salad bar morsels, I was really full, so I did not mind that the service was really slow. While waiting for my main course to arrive, a waiter (or manager?) went around pouring drinks in everyone’s mouths including mine and Priam’s:

This drink was the most pleasant-tasting drink of the drunch because it tasted like spiked fruit juice. Priam joked that this restaurant doesn’t take itself too seriously.

When my main course came out, I was still full so I couldn’t really eat it:

It also did not help that I did not like the sauce of whatever they put into the pita. It’s supposed to be a chicken shawarma, but it did not taste like one. The potato wedges were decent.

Priam ordered a peppered steak for his main course:

He said that the steak was not that great either. Soon karaoke started, so while we ate, we listened to people singing incredibly out of tune on top of their lungs. The songs played were a mix of cheesy old-school and current American hits such as Britney Spears’s “Toxic” and Taylor Swift’s “You Belong with Me”. Some of the people at the other tables started dancing, while one girl nearby would exclaim, “I love this song!” every time a song started that she liked. It was pretty hilarious to witness and made my lunch quite enjoyable.

There’s always room for dessert, so we grabbed some from the dessert bar:

The desserts were cute to look at, okay to eat.

On the whole, I liked my experience at The Little Door not because of the food but rather because of the hip and trendy atmosphere. This place also has magazines and board games in case you aren’t having enough fun. I’d skip the food but would recommend The Little Door for parties and hanging out in general.
