The Elbo Room (Khar West)

Elbow this one aside

This bar-cum-restaurant likes to call itself a singles' bar (a pick-up joint to the less euphemistic among us). Clearly, the food is prepared in a way that encourages you to ignore it, and concentrate on the more important stuff. The signature dish, the Bangkok salad, is but a Thai sideshow, and the less said about the garlic bread, the better. The service is equally maladroit, and one occasionally has to remind the steward of the order placed (and yes, the steward refuses to leave your table unless there is a handsome tip in cash).The only silver lining behind the rather dark clouds (the candle that's lit is just too dim to examine the menu and sometimes even to see what you are eating) is the presence of the large screen running live cricket; so if you continue to remain single even at the end of your quest here (and chances are you will, given the crowd), you will at least have the IPL for company.
