6 Degrees

I liked this place and the ambiente to rewind and to relax in the evening. If you're happy you manage to catch the Happy Hour. The staff is very attentive and friendly. What I learned new was, that a "Pint" in India means just ca. 0.33 l, what's much smaller than a "Pint" in the rest of His Majesty's Commonwealth. 😉

No reason to give these guys any lower than a 5 star. Amazing place to stroll around and get a get a soothing effect for your eyes. Ambience, staff service, locality, all nice. Now to talk about what I like most. The food and drinks. Artisanal cocktails and a pro-decorated food. Renowned chefs behind every bite...just melts in your mouth...oh, ecstatic. Get your family, friends, minors and elderly and they will all love this place alike.

The Leela Mumbai is taking its patrons on a culinary journey to Spain and is leaving no stone unturned. Celebrating the flavours of Spain, The Leela has collaborated with Chef Sergio Millet, Executive Chef of Mas Rabell restaurant at the famous Torres vineyards in Spain. To add to the treat, The House of Torres is pairing with the menu some of its legendary wines ( Mas La Plana, Ibericos Rioja, Gran Coronas, Grans Muralles). What stuck with us the most about the wines, apart from the gorgeous flavours, was that each of them has a wonderful story to tell each explained to us passionately by Tushar. We had the pleasure to attend one of their Tapas evenings and here are some things that stood out : Ajo Blanco We were quite happy to see this popular cold soup as a starter, especially served as shots! Ajo Blanco is typically made from a mix of bread, almonds, vinegar, olive oil, salt, water and garlic. The drink is very smooth & is quite refreshing, especially in the summer. Gambas Pil Pil The Gambas ( Shrimp ) Pil Pil ( Sauce ) were flying off the stove like hot cakes! Almost everyone took seconds & thirds. Gambas Pil Pil Prawn tossed in a sizzling hot sauce of garlic, chilli & olive oil. Not only was it a delight to watch the chef toss them on the live counter but it was also plated adorably in these tiny little red pots. Pan con Tomate with Spicy Tomato Sauce Many say this dish is as humble as tapas can get. The tiny, bite-sized pieces of Spanish toast are a delicious, quick snack made with just five ingredients, namely, bread, tomato, olive oil, garlic, and salt. Chicken and Mushroom Paella We kind of missed this but the others were raving about this dish! These were just the tip of the iceberg, you must visit to learn more about the other delicacies on the menu. Desserts For the most part of the evening, we were hovering around the dessert counter drooling over the desserts on display. Churros We loved watching the churros being made and gulping them down nice and warm. To add to the delicious brown pastry, we had chocolate sauce, strawberry sauce & Ice cream made in the Leela Kitchen. Crème Catalana The dessert draws parallels with the crème brûlée, the difference being the latter doesn’t contain fine cornflour. The custard was well set and was garnished with fresh fruit, we quite enjoyed it. Arroz con Leche Presentation-wise, this stood out the most as it was served in these tiny dessert jars with a dropper full of syrup. The Arroz ( Rice ) con Leche ( Milk ) is basically a Mexican rice pudding and can be a bit bland. Chef Rachna gave it a little extra flavour by adding in some fresh fruits. There were also Alfajores, Polvorones Almond Cookies, Pretzel Pops, Macaroons, Orange Sponge Cake and more! Our brief visit to the Leela Mumbai Tapas Evening was definitely not enough for us. We will be visiting again soon.

Spanish Affair @TheLeela, Mumbai Leela at Bombay is near the airport road and known to host businessmen. The property's grandeur and usage of plantations to make it a destination for peace in this bustling city. When I first read, Spanish food caught my eyes and I thought I had to try it. We had an evening of wine from Torres and Spanish food by the poolside at Six Degrees. How was the ambience? It was a pretty evening with wines flowing, prawns cooking while the sound of fountains soothed & the sight of the poolside pleased What did you do? For vegetarians, we had spinach croquet which was smooth and potato paella . Also, we had mushroom paella. Not to forget the Spanish tradition of having many olives in your meal. Would add, it was heavenly for non vegetarians with Serrano Ham and pequilo peppers and many others flowing. I didn't try it but my friends who had this said this. We had a cold soup viz Ajio blanc shooters which was weirdly nice. It was really different but tasted good. Coming to the wine, Tasted the Rose : De Caste which was good in its own way. Then next up, I have hogged onto the desserts. Aroz con leche : This was served in a pretty looking jar but didn't taste great. Creme catalana : This was delectable. Polvorones almond cookies : These cookies were soft and crunchy and just nice. We also tried the Churros. They were made at the time of serving. Chose chocolate and strawberries to go with as the strawberries balanced out the sweetness. There were pretzels and macaroons too. And not to forget the orange sponge cake which is again a Spanish authenticity. Ended it with, the chocolate flan. My Spanish affair ended on a sweet note. If you are fond of it, go and try it out!
