Italian FPSM at 360°, Vikhroli

Fixed Price Set Menu at 360° for Rs.99!

(Please read earlier reviews for more details of the place and experience.)

BTW, OK/Average is a rating of 2.5/5.00, which is not a bad achievement.

Minestrone Soup -OK/Average

Surprisingly, it was thin. Minestrone in Italian means big soup! Big soup = thick soup. But here it was water thin! Had some 50 per cent veggies -- that is what I like about the soups here. More of cabbage. Tomato flavoured soup. Had bits of parsley, I thought. Quite a decent soup with a nice tang (specially for the low low price). Strange that they don't serve the soup HOT! It is merely warm and almost ruins the taste of a good soup.

Cucumber and Dill Yoghurt Salad -- OK/Average
Cubes of cucumber in dahi with dill. Surprisingly, I could not taste the dill. Served cold, it was a bit of a nuisance having it with hot fettucine!

Fettucine ala Sorento -- Average/Good
This was an excellent fettucine pasta in pesto sauce. It was actually Good -- but surprisingly, the salt was very uneven. Some portions were salty and some almost devoid of salt. Vegetables were also a bit less and overcooked. Could not really taste the pesto. Served hot. Sorento btw is a very famous Italian area/style of cooking. They also had a Fettucine alla Verdure (Fettucine Pasta with Vegetables) for the non-veg part. Fettucine as you know is the tape pasta.

Fruit Salad with Vanilla icecream -- Good
This time, it was a bit cold. The fruit cubes were of different sizes. 3 Fruits = Melon, Papaya, and Pineapple. I love this fruit salad.

Overall
From my past reviews, you can make out that I am very fond of this place, specially the CHEAP promotional price! Each of the item is worth nearly Rs.99 and yet we get all (including a soft drink!) for just Rs.99! Today, was a very average experience. Is it diminishing marginal utility? The more ladoos we have the last one does not taste as good as the first one?

360° restaurant in Home Town, Vikhroli

Table d'hote Menu at 360° restaurant in Home Town, Vikhroli (LBS Marg, 1 Km from flyover)

Gurudath Baliga, a friend, put a status on Facebook that the soups and pasta at this place was good. Thanks -- Gurudath! So I went and the place had a lot of surprises.

Had 4 course meal in this special set menu for a fixed price. Read to the very end for several surprises.

Soup:Lemon coriander soup
Small serving. Full of finely diced carrots and cabage, full of corrainder leaves, flavoured with lemon -- in a sort of white soup. I liked the soup. 3/5 stars

Salad:Khimchi
I liked the decent serving of khimchi. In addition to the cabbage, they had slices of cuccumber in it. Quite good. 3/5 stars

Vegetable: Vegetable Singapore
A small bowl (200 ml) of this vegetable. This was full of cauliflower, babycorn, red capsicum, etc. Sour and sweet, the taste was really good. The veggies were perfectly crunchy and very well cut. 3.5/5 (I am a little mean here -- should actually give it a 4/5.)

Noodles (or Rice): Hakka noodles
Got a huge mountain of very tasty noodles (say a 500 ml bowl overturned). The noodles were perfectly cooked with tons of spring onion green leaves finely chopped. I loved the caramalized onions in it. I could eat this the whole day. Believe me the onions were cooked to perfection. It had lots of thin slivers of green capsicum too. (Gave in to gluttony today -- and finished the whole bowl as the server was a bit reluctant at first to give me only half!)One of the best hakka noodles I have had in recent times. 3.5/5 (This time I am not mean!)

Dessert/Drink: Icecream/softdrink (I am not sure whether you get both or you choose one. But I did not have either of them.

Ambience: Excellent A grade. Nice decor and comfortable seating. Feel of a posh restaurant

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
Guess how much I paid for this royal treat? Rs.499? Rs.399? Rs.299? Rs.199? Rs.99!

You will not believe me! But the price is Rs.88 plus taxes. Which makes it Rs.99! I had one of the most memorable meals of 2010 (No5 I think) for just 100 rupees!

I could not believe it when I began eating and repeatedly asked several waiters about the price. I thought the price is Rs.88 per course -- and it would have still (well, almost) been worth it!

Here come another surprise! Tomorrow, it will be Mexican. Every day the set menu changes.

Third surprise: the same set menu is available for dinner also at the same price!

BTW, this is a full fledged open throughout the day restaurant. As the name suggests it is multi-cuisine and has everything from Indian to Chinese to Pizzas and Pastas and Chats. The rates for all these are quite decent (and not exorbitant) for a class restaurant albeit in an odd location.

Unbelievable, isn't it? Well, this is a promotional offer! So rush before they stop the offer.
