Despite being a port city Mumbai hosts few restaurants with al fresco setting. All that wonderful sea breeze goes to waste inside walled restaurants so ‘Sirocco’ brings the much needed respite after being cooped up. Located at Versova, Andheri West the restaurant is completely outdoor which makes it very popular and very much in demand. In the evenings they light up the whole place with twinkling fairy lights turning it more attractive. If romance is what you want then this is the place to go. Sirocco even has a swimming pool right at the centre that adds to the experience. Comfortable sittings areas are created around it for privacy and seclusion. One thing which is much appreciated is the separate smoking and non-smoking zones. An open bar on one side of the restaurant gets a lot of attention by the punters. The staff is friendly and wonderfully warm. They will elevate your dining experience with them.

Sirocco is a glorified café so expect to see a varied menu which covers a lot of cuisines and dishes. The variety is good and there is something for everyone. The whole menu is purely vegetarian so no meat or seafood can be found here. To begin tasting the menu with appetizers is always a good idea. You can order nachos grande, Arabic falafel patties, cheese baked vada with pav & chutney, veg Manchurian dry, mushroom cappuccino, quinoa with basil lemon dressing, veg spring rolls with home-made chilly sauce, feta spinach onion peas parcels with sweet chilly, Tuscany minestrone soup, bruschetta Tomatina with basil pesto drizzle, cheese stuffed crumb fried jalapenos with salsa and veg lollypops. They even serve pepper cheese fondue which can be ordered for a great party snack. Hookahs can be enjoyed with the appetizers throughout the evening.

Fill your tummy with Sirocco’s fabulous mains such as, classic margherita pizza, pink sauce pasta, paneer steak with spinach riso, Thai curry red, risotto fungi, mushroom grilled artichoke & caramelized onion pizza, grilled paneer bhurji sandwich, veg Manchurian with fried rice, risotto verde, Sirocco’s oven roasted vegetable pizza, Thai curry green and spaghetti prima vera. They have an excellent range of smoothies and juices along with tea and coffee so wash the meal down with your chosen drink. Peach iced tea is a must have. Desserts are kept pretty simple with cupcake, pastry and sizzling brownie with ice cream. The reasonable rates helps to pull a lot of footfall too.
