5 Spice

Simple and sobor ambience with quick service. I have already visited their other outlets now got chance to visit this. I tried following delecacies: Mocktail #Orange Sour: A sweet and sour mixture of caramalized lime and orange juice which is topped with soda was an average in taste. Starters: #Red Chilli Pepper Prawns: Large size Prawns well marinated and tossed with red sauce. As the name says it gives perfect spice of red chilli and pepper. Prawns were fresh and juucy. Liked this dish as a seafood lover. #Vegetable fried Wontons/ Dimsums: Finely chopped Vegetables like carrot, cabbage are stuffed in soft covering. Main Course: #Vegetable Malaysian Noodles: Flat noodles tossed with different vegetables, garlic, red chilli flakes were soft and tasty. # Vegetable Nanking Rice: Rice served was topped with spicy ginger gravy was perfectly cooked and including rich vagetables like baby corn, broccoli, red cabbage, all three coloured capsicums was really unique in taste. Quantity was more. Desserts: #Bluberry Cheese Cake: Yummy cheese cake, regular but I found their blueberry gel on top vert differnt. #Death by Chocolate with Ice-cream: Dark chocolate smooth pastry, served with chocolate ice-cream is a perfect end to finish meal for all chocolate lovers.

5 Spice needs no introduction! The name is synonymous to many things and these are the common things that you would hear - oriental, chinese, indian chinese, huge portions, amazing taste, etc. etc. and believe you me all of it is true! One of the iconic restaurant chain in Mumbai - a restaurant which is ideal for large groups and families who like to share plates. Plenty of outlets you would find in Mumbai, I was in Mahim so I decided to pay a visit! Mahim outlet is located just opposite the church and one can easily locate this place. The place has 2 floors, few tables on the ground, where as few on 1st floor. 5 Spice has given some Oriental interiors, nothing exotic. The place is reasonably maintained, not as new the one opened at Marine Drive! Moreover this place serves non vegetarian food as well, so please do keep that in mind. Moving straight to what we ordered at 5 Spice - We started with the Manchow Soup - Hot, Spicy, Thich Broth with vegetables and crisp fried noodles on top! Simply Amazing and a must have at 5 Spice. Next we tried the starters after the soup. Was really interested in trying as many starters as I could. First we tried the Chilly Crispy Potatoes - crispy fried potatoes in spicy soya sauce, green chillies, onion and capsicum. Post this we had the Hakka Button Mushroom. Again a must have for mushroom lovers! Next we tried some mocktails to go along with the starters - Summer Bliss and Lime Mojito. I would recommend Summer Bliss - a smoothie with nice blend of fruits. Must try in case you are open to trying shakes, mocktails, etc. Lime Mojito was also nice and refreshing! After this we had the Paneer Chilly Dry - Yummy and something that you should try! Paneer was fresh and soft and tossed nicely in black pepper, garlic, chillies , onion, capsicum, soya sauce and vinegar! Delicious! Next we tried the specialty at 5 Spice, the Crispy Thread Paneer along with Mint Sauce. Cottage Cheese wrapped with Crispy Noodles. Interesting and unique dish, those open to experimenting can go for this. Mint Sauce adds to the flavor! Moving to the mains, we ordered the Peking Fried Rice - A huge bowl of pot rice served with plenty of steamed noodles and crispy noodles on top! You can find plenty of veggies in sezchuan sauce. This dish should be shared strictly, can't have it alone! Must try at 5 Spice! 5 Spice has a separate counter for desserts. In Mahim outlet and most of its outlets, you can find this counter at the entrance of the restaurant! So tempting and amazing. Again the portions are large so please call for them accordingly. You can try the large pastries serving. We ordered for couple of their desserts - Death By Chocolate and Blueberry Cheesecake. Both of them are to die for! Death By Chocolate - a drool worthy dessert cake served with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce on top! This serving irrespective of the size, I am sure you will finish it all. And finally the Blueberry Cheesecake - creamy cheesecake with a layer of blueberry on top! Amazing, must have! Would definitely recommend anyone paying a visit to this outlet of 5 Spice, you would surely not be disappointed by the service and food!

I have been to 5spice for quite a few times now and it still serves amazing food in (huge) quantity. Their pot rice is my all time favourite and easily fills up 2 people (that too without starter) I have tried their paneer chilli (PANEER IS DELICIOUS!), veg schezwan fingers (Okay!) and veg crispy(GOOD!) in starters. All of them were good! In main course I have tried Paneer mangolian and exotic vegetables in mangolian pot rice, both of them were good but my favorite was Paneer! Go for it if you love paneer!! In desserts I have tried their iconic mission impossible which is HUGE! and after having starter and main course it really felt like mission impossible. Rocky road is another masterpiece they serve. Quantity wise its less compared to mission impossible but no compromise in taste! Value for money. Service and ambiance is also good!
