Sabores European Bistro – Romantic Rooftop with delicious food!

Sabores means "flavours" in Spanish and the rooftop Sabores European Bistro located bang opposite Idea Showroom on Bhandarkar Road surely lives up to its name. The romantic set-up located on the top floor is surely a perfect place to date or hang-out with friends or for a casual dinner with family. Minimal interiors, hanging lights, fresh bougainvillea plants, frames adorning the walls, and a cabana for personal space are some of the features of the bistro.

The menu is as good as what you expect from a European restaurant be it Bruschetta, Arancini, Quinoa Salad, Soups, or Classic Sandwiches, Pastas, Gourmet Pizzas, Garlic Bread, Moussaka, Cottage Cheese Steak to name a few. Talented Consultant Chef Anish Dutta has curated the entire menu and I was quite excited to try some of his recommendations...

We went there for an early dinner. Amidst the cool breeze, chirping birds, setting sun, tranquil sky, we started our meal with the refreshing Watermelon Spritzer. A nice thirst-quencher on a hot summer day. However, I would recommend Lemon-Mint Mojito over the spritzer.

First on we were served the Turkish Delight – Lemon and Coriander Falafel. Beautiful presentation. The quarter pita bread was topped with crispy yet soft falafels garnished with mint aioli and pomegranate seeds. It was quite flavourful. Recommended!

Other antipasti – Peperoncino Arancini was served next. Classic Italian rice balls stuffed with cheese served over the pasta sauce. Nothing could go wrong! Medium-spiced crispy fried arancini balls with cheesy center were one of my favorites of the evening. Highly Recommended!

Ordering Pizza at a European Bistro is a must. We tried Spiced Veggies one. Topped with roasted bell peppers, chili, jalapeno, olives red onion and finished with cheese, the pizza was super delicious. The thin crust was adding on the crunch. Loved every bit of it! Recommended!

My most favourite dish of the evening was the Cottage Cheese Steak with Olives and Cilantro Tapenade. It was not only filling but a burst of flavour in the mouth. Soft, melt-in-mouth yet crunchy Cottage Cheese Steak/Patty was overloaded with the saffron sauce and served with Pilaf rice and the side salad. The sweet-creamy-subtle sauce over the crisp patty was a real treat! Must Must try! Highly Recommended!

Concluded our meal with the luscious, thick creamy, not-too-sweet, filling Oreo Shake. We also tried Tiara Maria, liquor based chocolate dessert, which for me, as a teetotaler, was not a good choice. I wish to try some more desserts.
