The Bombay Canteen people simply launched Veronica’s, an artisanal sandwich store and cafe in Bandra

It’s also possible to take a break from the carb-y, meaty choices with the small number of salads on the menu. We tried the Burra Burra Bowl, with heirloom tomatoes, crispy quinoa, basil emulsion and a home salad combine. There’s additionally Veronica’s tackle the Caesar and a pumpkin and buffalo mozzarella salad in a basil emulsion. When you’re loaded up on fibre, get again to it with the excellent Veronica’s smash burger. A juicy, healthful double quick rib and marrow patty, with shiny, brown onions, cheddar and bacon, is sandwiched between two bouncy, smooth milk buns that cushion the filling. It’s decidedly decadent but in addition wholly price each chew. Significantly. For dessert, pattern a variety of bakes that you would be able to get pleasure from in-house or take to go. We tried the delightfully messy Ferrero Rocher ache au chocolat that’s an effective way to finish the meal.

For about eight years now, Starvation Inc has infused soul, color and life into components of the town the place they have been sorely missing. However in a neighbourhood as hip as Bandra, I’m curious to grasp what function Veronica’s will play. “O Pedro and The Bombay Canteen are locations you may go to as soon as in three weeks. However we would like Veronica’s to be that group place you possibly can come to twice or thrice every week, whether or not you’re simply choosing up a espresso otherwise you’re on a date,” says Yash. “A restaurant is a constantly evolving being–it’s not a monolith that you just construct and stays stagnant. So there is no such thing as a set line. The one means it is possible for you to to create a connection is to pay attention.” says Sameer. “We’ve solely been capable of develop after we hearken to our group.”

Whereas penning this piece, I went again to an outdated interview from 2018 with Floyd about Bandra, during which he talked of the altering nature of the neighbourhood he grew up in and the way retaining the soul of a spot intact is essential for youthful generations. With Veronica’s, the outdated soul of Bandra is alive, kicking and downright scrumptious.
