The Tasting Room, The Good Earth Company, Raghuvanshi Mansion, Raghvanshi Mills Compound, 11-12 Senapati Bapat Marg, Mumbai – 13.

Valet Parking: No.
Nestled in the commercial environment of a busy compound is this haven of tranquility. A roomy expanse, lofty ceiling and an abundance of natural light pouring in from large windows create a languid atmosphere which puts you at ease instantly. Wooden beams running across the ceiling and unfinished walls add charm to the interiors.
Take your pick from the eclectic seating, from tables and chairs of diverse heights to comfortable sofas. And if you like what you see, you can walk away with it for a price. Located inside the very posh furniture and lifestyle accessory store Good Earth, everything in the restaurant is for sale.
Soak in the atmosphere and munch away on the tray of goodies placed before you, various types of bite-sized breads, crisp breadsticks and a sinful swirl of garlic butter, as you wait for your order to arrive, which does take an age to appear.
You’ll most probably polish off the enitrie tray by the time the food does arrive, and realize the wait has been worth it. Elegantly served in large square plates and earthen bowls, feast on the presentation before you feast on the food itself. My tastebuds rejoiced at the delicate flavoring of the Paprika Grilled Chicken(Rs 325)
Do try the delectable desserts, especially a wedge each of the A.B.S.O.L.U.T.E.L.Y S.I.N.F.U.L. Mud Pie(Rs 110) and Philly Cheese Cake(Rs 160)(When they say cheesecake, they mean cheesecake!)
The Tasting Room is also Mumbai’s first wine bar.
Average meal for 2(without alchohol): Rs 900
