Our megapolis beaming with diverse cultures is bound by one thing – its love for food. A love so pure that we decided to resurrect the deceased. Started by a Parsi owner, Sundance cafe was best known for its old jukebox, turtle burgers (buns shaped like turtles) and sandwiches, among the South Mumbai crowd.
It enjoyed a cult status, a loyal fan base and was one of old world Mumbai's favourite dining places. I felt the need to reinvent the place and acquired the rights for it after it shut shop in 2010. The idea was to retain the old menu but to present it in a modern way. The only refinement is the decor (a sixty-seater, two-storied space with a bar upstairs and a large asymmetric wall filled with antiques and other knick knacks) and the presentation of food.
In its new avatar, Cafe Sundance presents a bright, warm ambiance and a fresh spread complete with burgers, dogs, steaks and pastas. The best thing about Café Sundance still remains its signature finger licking juicy burgers. The mouth watering blushing pink patties served between two slices of airy bread comes with tart sauces and thin, long crispy salted fries. Even as Café Sundance rings in the new, it takes you back to that special place called nostalgia.
The burgers and pizzas are served on rustic slabs of wood (a signature Two One Two Bar & Grill touch) and the garnishes decidedly have a flourish. The plating is delicate in accordance with Chef Mikhail Shahani's style, but the cooking is big and bold.
We even have a breakfast menu which boasts of favourites like waffles, Spanish omelette, fried eggs, frankfurters and more, so a quick trip before office, seems justified.
Cafe Sundance is a homely cafe serving smart food with the sort of flavour that is the perfect accompaniment to a chilled beer.
