The name piqued us, from the word go. Fourteen sauces, really? The month-old Versova eatery, 14 Sauce Story, took us by surprise as soon as we stepped in, in a good way that is. The minimalist décor made us smile — a few watercolour paintings by the brick walls and cushy sofas gave it a welcoming vibe on a Sunday afternoon.

We picked strawberry-flavoured Frozen Margarita ('385) and Screwdriver ('310) from a limited drinks menu. Pink-hued and slushy, the tequila-based margarita was bang on, topped with a rim of chaat masala that brought back fond memories of slurping golas on the city's beaches. Mixing vodka and orange juice in right proportions, the bartender got the Screwdriver right too.
