I stay a stone’s throw away from TOIT and many a times when I pass this place, especially in the evenings or weekends, I see large groups of people spilling over almost on to the road, waiting to get inside. Also, everyone I know brings up this place sometime or the other and I thought I must give this a try.
What a hyped up place this is! I went to this place with my friend for lunch going by the high ratings on Zomato and if I had to describe this experience in the form of a whatsapp emoji, I would use the face palm one. The ambience is airy and nice. Service was good but the food.. lord help me! I had saved up my appetite so I can pig out here and was very disappointed.
I ordered a mocktail - safe sex on the beach (Orange juice, cranberry juice, peach syrup and lime) and found it too syrupy. The Mac and cheese balls were recommended and nothing to write home about. TOIT special salad was a huge let down with an overdose of leaves. Apple pie was good but could have been better if it was warm. The mushroom bites were returned. My friend has had it here thrice and she found it quite good but this time around, the mushrooms were not fresh and seemed half cooked with some Indian masala. My friend ordered the grilled fish chunks which she said was nice. Personally this place deserves nothing more than a 3 and I feel I’m being generous here…the pluses being the apple pie and the fish. Heard a lot about their pizza but couldn’t try them out this visit.
Would I go again - just for the food and drinks, I don’t think so, but if it’s to just sit and chat for a while with a friend and a light snack, then this is the place as nobody is breathing down your neck and that way it is quite chilled out.
Overall rating : 3/5
In pics: Apple pie, mushroom bites, TOIT special salad, Mac and cheese balls and the drinks. Everything looks good in pics (eye roll)
