Mumbai Food: Cool new Mulund cafe caters to your crepe cravings

A cafe in Mulund that whips up delish crepes and yummy pizzas is quickly rising up the charts as the cool new, late night hangout

The interiors

The Lack of late night hangouts in the eastern suburb of Mulund has been a constant grouse among its residents. This could possibly be one of the reasons why, when we dropped by the newly-opened D'Crepes Cafe in Mulund at 11.30 pm, we found it packed.

The warmly lit cafe offers an array of eats, including pizza, salad, burgers, hot and cold beverages, a variety of desserts, entrees and crêpes. The cafe also offers freshly baked goodies such as multi-grain breads and croissants, which we are sure to try on our next visit.

Chicken Strips Tossed in Chilly Garlic Sauce

To beat the humidity, we first ordered Jalapeno Lemonade (Rs 150, prices inclusive of taxes) and a Blueberry Banana Smoothie (Rs 180). The lemonade was just what we needed to soothe our parched throats on a warm April night — an amped up nimbu pani with the perfect kick of jalapenos and mint. The smoothie scored well too with its fresh, fruity blend and thick consistency.

Crepe Indonesian

We started our meal with a vegetarian Verdura Crepe (Rs 210) and non-vegetarian Crepe Indonesian (Rs 270, buckwheat version). Both the crepes were loaded with fresh vegetables and could make for a satisfying meal if eaten on their own. Stuffed with broccoli, baby corn, bell pepper, zucchini, onion, and cream cheese and balsamic dressing, Verdura was a perfect balance of the crunch of the vegetables and fresh flavours, making for one non-greasy meal. Crepe Indonesian had several ingredients associated with South East Asian dishes such as sesame seeds, lemon grass, spring onion and a peanut-based sauce to go with Satay chicken.

Cheesy French Fries Skin On

While the Cheesy French Fries Skin On (Rs 150) made us wish we had a cold beer on the side, our other side order, Chicken Strips Tossed in Chilly Garlic Sauce (Rs 230), was a yummy local Asian restaurant style appetiser.

Jalapeno Lemonade

The German Sausage Pizza (Rs 380, 10 inch) was a meaty delight with chicken sausage slices and a thin crust layered with just the right amount of a mustard-based sauce.

We saved their sweet crepe offerings for dessert and called for the Crepe-Choco-Licious (Rs 210). True to its name, the crepe was a chocolate lover's delight with a stuffing of chocolate ganache, chocolate sauce, choco chips, walnuts and brownie.
