A white-washed brick cube jutting out on the street off Bandra’s Linking Road greeted us when we went looking for Community, an all-day cafe bar slated to open this Friday. Started by the brains behind Villa 69 and Gangsta’s, the all-day café bar presented a relaxed ambiance with roomy seating, soft background music, and Tom and Jerry playing on a TV screen. While the restaurant has a fusion menu in place (by chef Davide Cananzi), it will also serve as a platform for home chefs and restaurateurs to bring in outstation names to host pop-ups.
