Tranquil Orlem in Malad gets a much-needed restobar that is high on home-style steaks and low-priced drinks
The extra "e" in the name of this blue-themed pub differentiates it from Sky lounge at Andheri and Bandra. But proprietor Kamal Gulrajani was actually unaware of their existence initially. "I named the place after my granddaughter. Coincidentally, the way her name is spelt had another advantage," he laughs.u00a0
The 60 year-old's first love is food. He ran a pure vegetarian restaurant in Vasai for 30 years. So, when he thought of moving business closer to his Malad home, food remained a priority. Unlike other pubs that restrict food to starters, this one has an extensive food menu, with a range of steaks to choose from.
Our Chateaubriand with Bearnaise Sauce (Rs 400), a tenderloin steak for two, was competent. The rest of the essentially continental food had a distinctly home-made flavour. We liked the Kentucky Chicken Fry (Rs 175) and Exotic Chicken Salad (Rs 125). But the Shrimp Cocktail was choking with sauce, and the Pizza Neopolitan (Rs 100) could have done with less onion.
