Food is a legacy that travels down with time and tradition. While some prefer to create, some prefer to follow. Ashesh Sajnani is one man who has not only created legacy, but maintained it for 20 years.
He is a man who introduced avocado in the menu when it was not a fashion. He has continually experimented with ingredients since 20 years to give Le Café a name to reckon with. Chef Pawar carries the torch now.
We recently visited the Le Café in Chembur to treat ourselves with their iconic dishes which have received appreciation for last two decades. Celebrating 20 years, the all-day dining destination, presented 20 dishes picked from their OG menu. Some of the dishes which were first served in 2004, when the restaurant was launched, were brought back this year to celebrate the flavours of the past.
Old newspapers on the entry wall | Swarna Srikanth "Many guests return and ask our team about specific dishes they remember from their first visit. For many, these dishes are comfort food, and they enjoy coming back to familiar flavors. So, as we've made changes to the menu over the years, we’ve always ensured that old classics make a return, preserving a sense of nostalgia for our long-time patrons," says Sajnani.
The special menu lists down 20 people-favourite dishes, promising to soothe every craving, from the healthy barley meal to a rum filled dessert. “Scottish Egg Affair” was the first thing that we opted for, ask why? Its disguised name impressed us. While it read.
