We visit Bistro 1, a new bar and kitchen in Andheri West, on consecutive nights for two different purposes. The first visit, on a Monday, is meant only to sample the food. We then drop by on the following day for a quick drink since it's a hop, skip and jump away from where we live. And here's how our experience panned out on the two different occasions.

Day 1: Food
We walk into the joint that's right below Versova Metro station, next to a busy line of eateries, around midnight to find the place empty. This is surprising. For, the nightlife in Mumbai — and especially Versova, where many of the denizens don't have 9 to 5 jobs — is such that the concept of a weekend stretches into Monday.
