Chicken Mushroom Lasagne. Pics/Sneha Kharabe
A vast grey-and-yellow picture mashing in Mumbai landmarks greeted us as we stepped into a packaged Jamie’s Pizzeria during a mall in Lower Parel on a weeknight. We gave them a skip and sealed a eyes with a British blue-eyed chef, Jamie Oliver — a designer of a pizzeria sequence that’s already done in-roads in New Delhi — who showed us how to hurl a pasta square and bake healthy treats in videos on a shade propitious on a conflicting wall. With mottled flooring, charming chairs and an open kitchen, a brightly lit, compress space presented a happy vibe.
Brush with bruschetta
Settling in quickly, we browsed by a no-frills menu featuring appetisers like Fritto Miso (sustainable fish and other seafood in tartare sauce) and Chilli Chicken Wings, salads and sides, a children’s menu, a dessert territory with sorbets and brownies, and of course, a accumulation of his signature 11-inch hand-stretched pizzas. We began with Roasted Tomato Bruschetta (Rs 199), that suddenly featured usually one vast square of a garlic ciabatta easily surfaced with ricotta, basil, cherry tomatoes and olive oil. Well, so many for a pocket-friendly pricing. While we desired a well-spoken hardness of a ricotta that went good with farm-fresh, glow red cherry tomatoes, a chewy bread was a downer. We cleared it down with a refreshingly fizzy homemade Ginger Beer (Rs 130; a caf� bonds a few drink varieties).
The colourful interiors
Pizza test
In a new talk with mid-day, Oliver had picked Paneer Piccante as an India-special essence that he was unapproachable of. We went with a chef’s recco and called for a pizza (Rs 399), a sharp charity surfaced with squashy chunks of lodge cheese, bell peppers, mozzarella and uninformed coriander. Though a pizza kept a desi cause in check, a flavours were average. Instead, we fell for a palate-pleasing, crispy crust, generally when dunked into Minty Yogurt (Rs 40), one of a 3 flavours of dips that a menu offered. Next, we picked Capricciosa (Rs 549), that came surfaced with pig ham, dejected tomatoes, roasted mushrooms, olives and thyme. Laced together by a malleable mozzarella, a flavours from a beef and dejected tomatoes came by well, yet a pizza lacked a graphic ‘wow’ factor.
Lasagne comfort
From a oven-baked section, we systematic Chicken Mushroom Lasagne (Rs 469). A detonate of flavours greeted us when we dug into a succulent, diced duck and silky fungus in a white salsa coated with a covering of well-baked pasta square and slimey cheese. What we desired a many was a brown, fungus membrane that rimmed a comforting, baked dish.
TIME 12 noon to 11 pm AT High Street Phoenix, Lower Parel.
