The 5 Restraunt

Had to take some friends dinner, I had spied a restruant called '5 the restraunt' near Yoko's at Santacruz (W), SV road. I decided to take them there. The ambience was laid back but stylish. Not overtly ornate, but oozing with class. A small place with seating for maybe 15~20 at the max, it was like a boutique restraunt with signature dishes. The dishes didn't disappoint either. The menu listing was very factual, with straight forward names of the dishes like Chicken clear soup - which we had 2 by 4, Appetizers : Stuffed mushrooms, ???? Prawns ( don't remember exact which ones) , main dish: Pasta, Assorted vegetables with couchou ( some sort of rava or samolina kinda stuff) and Pot Chicken Roasted. However style of preparation, service, serving style all was par excellence. And the food was something different altogather. Each dish was uniquely created, nothing like what we are accustomed to eating. Chicken soup seemed home made, Stuffed mushrooms had been backed just so that the mushroom juice has seeped into the cheese stuffing, suffusing it with mushroom flavor (I remembered my experiance in Korean restraunt in Beijing, where I had mushroom on hot plate and i tried to use it as a cup, and would drink liquid inside once the cup filled up due to heat), Prawns were delightful luckily adnan doesn't eat prawns so i grabbed extra helping, they were roasted, with peppery black masala and there was absolutely no fishy taste to it. Pasta was great and garnishing of sweet corn was delicious even though i'd had heavy butter chicken / tandoori chicken lunch in persian darbar near Bandra and was really full. Assorted vegetables had some peach in it, and a nice touch of couchou instead of rice to have it with. They offered freshly baked bread basket at start of dinner with assorted buns, wheat bread, etc, along with self made garlic butter to have it with. We all fell completely in love with the place and I got to tell Adnan how he was wrong to insist on going to Dynasty (chinese restraunt opp. Irshad's place, which I did not want to go to since i'd beent here 2 times already). I had dragged all three of them down near Yoko's to find out if this place was good and if it was open ( it was 11:30 p.m. already). Nyways things turned out beautifully and our friends was very happy, impressed and really pressed me and adnan to visit soon to Chennai so he can take us to show us around Chennai as well as Pondicherry. Specially Pondicherry there is this Auraville habitate an autonomous village where anyone can live and no need for visa's for even foreigners to visit.
Nyway guys, now when ur looking for a good place in western suburbs to have a chow you know just the right place.
