We set high standards when we decided to order from the new takeaway joint in Parel, Union Cafe. There’s no reason, after all, why takeaways (this one doesn’t come that cheap, either) should not be as hot, with all the gastronomical goodness as intact as any dish that walks up to you at a restaurant.
u00a0That, Union Café got just right — the delivery person walked in with our order and, just this one time, we didn’t mind our almost-scalded fingers.

First up was the Classic Caesar (Rs 155). This, we thought, lacked in generosity when it came to the ‘sun-kissed’ tomatoes. True, the Romaine leaves were ample, as were the olives, but it lacked the punch and we were left thinking of that last great Caesar we had somewhere else. If you cannot get a classic right, can you get the rest, we wondered.
