Mulund believes in giving the brand new a chance. Or maybe, it just loves its food a lot. Every new eatery launched in this Gujarati-dominated suburb quickly finds takers, at least for the first time. On a Sunday evening, barely a fortnight after rolling up its shutters, R Steam Roll was packed with a muddle up of large families, excited teenagers and couples. With dual seating (air-conditioned and patio) that can hold up to 70 guests, it's only a matter of time before the joint becomes a favoured haunt with residents of Swapna Nagri, one of the faster growing residential clusters in the eastern suburb.
R Steam Roll
Food: cheesy
Service: prompt
Ambience: bright
R Steam Roll (formerly called Rasna) has been popular here; the first branch was launched nearly three decades ago. Bright yellow interiors splashed with urban graffiti in a caf ufffd-style seating spell practicality. The menu features an assembly of sandwiches, pizzas (including a 'diet' variety), rolls, juices, ice creams and milkshakes.
A section is dedicated to Toast with Melted Cheese (11 varieties in total!). An attendant recommended the Chat Potato Grilled Sandwich (Rs 45) and French Veg Garlic Roll (Rs 80), along with a Thandai Shake (Rs 70); to go with the Holi spirit, perhaps?
A look at the crowd inside, and we were expecting a long wait but the order was at our table in 10 minutes. What we imagined to have wished away (The Toast with Melted Cheese section) appeared in another avataru00a0-- melted butter floated in mini puddles atop the Chat Potato Sandwich. It was a trap, and we succumbed. The mash was soft, and the filling tangy. Just the right zing.
The Garlic Roll takes its name seriously. Carry a mouth freshner along if you dare to try it. The Thandai Shake calmed the onion-garlic war on our palateu00a0-- smooth, thick and refreshing. There was no running away from the cheese, so we took the plunge and ordered a Special Pizza with American Corn (Rs 80). Expectedly, cheese took centrestage, in all its grated splendour. The American corn had to settle for second place.
