Mumbai's secret scouters of cool bring you the best of what's new and undiscovered. This week, an unheard of Italian restaurant plus Trilogy, the new nightclub (not) in town
Sukho Thai: Turner Road foot spa
At this new foot spa, the action isn't just below the knees. Supremely deft hands -- ask for Woreinger’s or Levy’s -- will work your back, neck and shoulders, even for the most basic foot massage. Happy endings of spicy ginger tea and passion fruit almost make up for the tacky exterior and too-close-for-comfort chairs. Turner Road, Bandra (W); tel. +91 98202 00810. Full bpb review.
Trilogy: Juhu sea view clubbing
Trilogy, housed inside Juhu's Hotel Sea Princess, opens with a red carpet and a plush elevator leading up to a 4,000 square foot space, split between two levels, both with great sea views. The first floor, starring a wooden bar (heavily inspired by Henry Tham), lounge area, tacky bronze chairs and cool Lego-like walls, fails to impress but flaws eventually grow out of focus. Even though it's not perfect, this is a fun club, much required this side of the Sealink. Juhu Tara Road; tel. +91 (0) 2646 9689. Full bpb review.
Two One Two: Italian resto-bar in Worli
It was perfect. The baked Camembert with a creamy, giving heart that lay under glistening skin, its texture tensile, surface flaking. Accompanied by thick slices of toast and thin strands of bell pepper, cradled on a bed of greens and topped with succulent grilled vegetables. This is perhaps the sexiest version of bread and cheese in city limits, and one of the many reasons to go back to Two One Two, Worli’s brand new Italian restaurant named after 212 degrees Fahrenheit, the boiling point of water. 12A Hornby Vellard Estate, on the Nehru Centre road, Worli; tel. +91 99208 38529. Full bpb review.
Vaya: SV Road loom raider
With weavers from all over India -- Benares, Pune, Hyderabad -- spooling in to fill its pretty block-printed cabinets, Vaya is a far cry from your regular SV Road fabric store. Fruit of the loom include a startling red Maheshwari sari, a three-hued woolen scarf and a Rs 400,000 silver-gold Upada. SV Road; tel. +91 (0) 22 2643 6556. Full bpb review.
