Mocambo Se Khush Hua !!!

A carnivore sniffs his food from long and then goes on that trail till he attains solace and tummy full of meat. This was precisely the actions of mine in my adventure to satisfy my meaty taste buds. And then Cafe Mocambo was given a shot and then onwards it has become a regular pitstop on my culinery journey.
Cafe Mocambo situated in Fort serves some of the best and delightful Continental & Italian dishes. Add to that some servings of beer and wine and an amazing array of desserts and you have a Heaven for the Hungry !!!
Denmark Sausages &
Cracker Jack Prawns

Starting with the starters .. ohh thats a cliche, there are some amazing dishes too look out for starting with the  Denmark Sausages which are nice deep fried Chicken sausages served with garlic sauce, Paprika chicken which has awesome pepper & cheddar flavours, Cracker Jack Prawns (again deep fried .. ohh I am loving it ) and a delectably nice Fish n Chips. For the herbivores, there is nice Bruscetta but the dish which beats the rest is the French Fries with overload of Cheese. Foodgasm !!!
There is a variety of soups & salads for the kind but if you are here, please forget the diet at home and just indulge into awesomeness i.e. Food !!! A special mention is the Bacon & Mushroom soup which is creamy and tickles your palate in a nicer way. Salads of what I have heard are worth a try as well. Disclaimer: I am not a salad person.
Con 2 P
The Sandwiches & Whoppers are a must have if you are here for a quick snack. The Piggy Feast takes your normal BLT to a new level with extreme of Ham, Bacon, Salami & Sausage. However I was personally disappointed with the portion. The Fries made up for it though. The Chicago Grill is a club sandwich made in  meat heaven and is a top recommend for the meat lovers.
There is huge range of Pastas and ably named Pasta factory. Salsa one being a creamy delight and Florentina  acting as a nice change as well. The Pizzas are nice too.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
But Cafe Mocambo stands out for the signature continental dishes.The Chicken Cordon Bleu is a Chicken breast stuffed with Ham & Cheese and BBQ sauce. What can one ask for !!! But theres more .. Country style Chicken & Mixed Grill is another of those scrumptious dishes with lots of chicken, bacon, stripped sausages & juicy ham served with mashed potatoes.Con 2 P is another dish to look out for which is grilled Chicken but in a mushroom & white sauce. All in all a gourmet delight !!!
There are more such delights calling out to you but the tummy refuses. I wont even mind if my tummy explodes when I am on this journey to meat heaven.
Country Style Chicken
There are a number of lamb varieties as well to look for and of what I saw as a part of sneak peek onto my neighbouring table, the lamb looked very succulent. Even the beef for that matter is very well prepared, not that chewy. Vegetarians will not find a hard time as the non meat food is good too but I did not even have a glance. Wicked me, but that is what meat makes you do !!
The beer & the wine acts as excellent accompaniment. Not a huge range of wines but nice to satiate those liquor pangs.
Gooey Chocolate Cake
Last but not the least, the Desserts !!! The Gooey Chocolate cake lived upto its reputation. The Walnut Brownie was strictly ok however the Cheese cakes stole the show. The Blueberry one was the standout with the Lemon coming a close second. There are some nice Mousse cakes to try as well. The best dessert of the lot has to be the Irish Bailey which is must have. It truly justifies the movie title 'Gone in 60 Seconds' as that was the exact time period in which it reached my tummy.
All in all a satisfying experience. The service can be a bit better but if there is food on the table who cares.

How to get here:
23/A, Sir Pherozeshah Mehta Road,  Fort , Mumbai
