If you manage to order - the pizza is great.
Let me say it loud and clear before you pick up that phone :
DOMINOS OPERATORS ARE DUMBER THAN PARAMECIUM.
The pizza is great, unhealthy and fast but hey its nice once in a while. But this is all if your operator gets your order right (or gets your order at all) - they are amazingly stupid and will add random toppings according to their whims and fancies. You say 'tomato' and they'll say 'angola?' - I'm serious. If you get a bad operator hang up and call again and ask for the manager to take your order.
They also pretend your coupon does not exist (tip : exploit them with coupons from their website - I've been using the straight 20% off for a year now)
They come up with some really weird pizzas (like hamburger pizza) - try at your own risk - usually the classics are always better.
If your pizza is late (unfortunately it never is unless you resort to sabotage by chasing down your deliveryman and throwing a rock at him), don't expect it free - expect yourself to be arguing with the delivery guy.
For taste - better than Garcia's by miles but Pizza Hut's Ring-O-Garlic still tops the taste-o-meter for Pizzas here.
Best of luck ordering.
P.s. People with sensitive digestive systems stay away from the tomato - not fresh sometimes.

Taj President, 90, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai
Average
Great desserts - but not worth it.
Sugar N Spice delivers on the taste - it has some fantastic choices, makes sinful cakes and everything else is made with a lot of attention to detail. But thats not the whole story.
Prices have been rising every month - it's now so high that you could get 4 (non-veg, mind you) frankies for one chocolate eclair. Just too much - even for a TAJ place.
Service is - bleah. Staff are slow, billing is noisy, and they make you wait most of the time.
The only good thing here is unlimited bite-sized desserts and coffee late nights.
Avoid it if you're just looking for a quick sweet bite. You'd spit it out when you get the bill. Moshe's desserts are way better anyways.

Hotel Taj President, 90, Colaba, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai
Good
Never disappoints - until you get the bill.
Trattoria is the well adored TAJ President retaurants most cuffe-paradians have been to at least once.
After their recent renovation ambience is great except for the fact that for some reason everyone there loves to talk loud... real loud - so don't expect any soft intimate conversations here, stand on chairs and shout across the table.
The food never disappoints. Mainly the pastas and the pizzas.
Service is what you'd expect at any TAJ - excellent always.
However, be prepared to empty your wallet, this place is hella expensive.

7 Minoo Manor, Badhwar Park, Cuffe Parade, Mumbai
Good
Its great... but...
I have a very mixed opinion of Moshe's...
When it started out of course it was THE place to be for dinner, but now - well, it's changed.
The positive is that the food is great, regardless of what people say - the food is awesome and thats what you're there for. The desserts are divine and must-haves there.
However, service - way below average. Not only is it slow but waiters like to keep watching IPL on the plasma in the back.
Air conditioning - weak, making it unpleasant if you get a table away from the ONE a/c catering to the main area.
Waiters - hardly ever in uniform but know the menu (well, some of them).
Must haves are the fondue and blueberry cheesecake.
Great place for breakfast if you wake up early enough - love those waffles.
Give it a try - focus on the food though.

Cusrow Baug, Colaba Cuaseway, Colaba, Mumbai
Excellent
The Best Gelato in Mumbai - period.
I'd like to point out that this beats Gelato Italiano by miles. Not only with the greater selection of flavours - but the gelato itself - its thicker and more... sinful :)
The great thing is its not only Gelato - they do smoothies, cookie sandwiches, italian coffee and even gelato cakes! Definitely makes me a repeat customer.
Great stuff - a must-eat!
