Excellent Trilogy Of Vegetarian Food Drinks Sheesha At TRE | Food Review | Restaurant Review

TRE is a bad influence on me.

Why?

Because I don't drink alcohol but here the drinks were just so superb that I kept drinking them :D

Yup, Tre can convince teetotalers to start drinking :P

2 floors of Tre, one elegant indoor section and a rooftop sheesha section (that gets packed by 9 PM!) beckon foodies, drinkers and sheesha lovers to converge and relax. These guys have kept things simple because simplicity works best. Seating is comfortable, staff is very efficient and quick, menu is sparse and functional but everything has been chosen with care so that everybody gets something to relish. There is no gastronomy or drinks wizardry, even the names aren't fancy, it is all geared to make us feel welcome and focused on rich flavors and textures. Prices a tad high but looking at the location and excellent food, we can't complain. We love everything here! Honored to be here for a review session.

As I said, I don't drink but one look at the bar menu and names like 'Chocolate Shot' popped up to pique my curiosity. Their drinks have down to earth ingredients like Mango Pulp, Mango sorbet, Chocolate liquer, Paan, Cinnamon, Coriander leaves and so on, infused with gin/vodka/whiskey etc., result being a smashing refreshing drink that has a lingering taste. 
We had Chocolate Shot (Rum & Chocolate)
Masala Paan Shot (Vodka infused mukhwas dessert shot), 
Fresh Mandarin Mojito (Freshly muddled mandarin with lime, mint & fizz, the only non-alcoholic drink of the night), 
Cinova (Fresh pineapple muddled with coriander, ginger, smirnoff and sour mix), 
Mango Saffron (Dark rum mixed with mango pulp and a touch of saffron syrup), 
Paan Angoori (Pan infused gin shaken with sour mix), AND we could taste them on our palate for next hour or so! Keeping things simple, rustic, delicious.

Coming to food, there are pizzas, pastas, a variety of starters, rice dishes to choose from. Limited but gourmet selection. We started off with Aglio Olio Corn, spicy corn kernels, that set our palates on fire in the best way possible :D

Burnt Paneer Chilli Dry, easily my second favorite dish, spicy soft paneer pieces with some veggies, typical dish one wants to have with drinks,

Next up were a twist on our very own frankies i.e. Laffas, with a refreshing crunchy mix of salad veggies inside soft tortilla like wraps,

Absolute favorite among starters was Tre Tandoor Tikka with melt in mouth Paneer, deliciously marinated Mushrooms and Potatoes, mildly spicy, a dish we would love to reorder all night long :D

In main course we decided to go with Nawabi & Fantasy Pizzas half & half, which turned out to be a great choice as the pizza was thin crust, crunchy (but not like biscuit! the good thin crust), had distict smokey flavor , had just the right proportion of sauce and cheese along with generous toppings of veggies for nawabi and paneer for fantasy, a fantastic duo, we shall be going back for these :)

My sister also chose Pasta Primavera (Creamy white sauce) Penne, which was appropriately creamy, simple yet soul satisfying, another must have! It really becomes difficult to come up with new words to describe different dishes when all of them are excellent. So just leaving this with -excellent food :D

But the main star of the evening is still to come. Apart from using fresh ingredients in their drinks and food, they also make their desserts inhouse. Chocolate lovers can go for Flourless Cake which is actually more like a chocolate tart with oozy dense sinful chocolate liquid in the centre :D Who is complaining when there is so much chocolate to overdose on :D

The absolute magnificent New York Cheese Cake was the right way to sign off on this excellent experience. You haven't tasted the best cheese cake in Mumbai till you have tasted this. Think melt in mouth, think lighter than cloud, think sweet but not overly so, think of velvet on tongue, now put this all together and enjoy the new york cheese cake here. This alone warrants a 100 stars here :)

One of those places that gets everything right, Tre is a must-visit place in my books :)
