Review: Just Bing’g’e – The extra g, Vashi, Navi Mumbai
Well, haven’t thought that Tuesday sunny afternoon is going to be so happening for me. I was invited to review the newly opened outlet of Just Bing’g’e, Vashi by Pooja Trehan Dhamecha, who runs Nuvo Foodies. Just Bing’g’e ( with extra g) is a beautifully decorated boutique restaurant. Its a cafe which offers good ambiance, music and yummy food where you can have some good time with friends, family or even alone with your book. The decor of the restaurant is done very artfully with interestingly designed wall makes the place very attractive. This cozy place has a sitting arrangement for about 10 people. On my table, cute stuff were placed along with some books too.
Just Bing’g’e, co- founded by Hardik Patel and Amit Patel, has Chef Aditi Juneja and Chef Salil Fadnis who have curated the dishes on the menu of Just Bing’g’e. This centrally located outlet is the second outlet of Just Bing’g’e, first being at Sanpada.
So, I started the meal by placing the order for Raspberry coolers and Vol-Au-Vents as suggested by Pooja of Nuvofoodie.
Raspberry Cooler: I just love the colour of the drink. The drink was perfectly sweet and bubbling. It was very refreshing exactly what I needed in a sunny afternoon.
Vol-Au-vent: Vol-Au-vent listed in the lite bite section of the menu are basically cylindrical hollow puff pastry which is stuffed with mushrooms or chicken and topped with cheese. It was a perfect combination of crunchiness and soft stuffing. The mushroom were sauteed with garlic and was topped with cheese. So, with every bite, you enjoy the cheese and mushrooms along with the crunchy pastry. It is a must have and not to be missed.
Just Bing’g’e have some amazing variety of sandwiches and salads. The salads are very innovative and so are the sandwiches. Next we ordered Chicken Herb Sandwich and the signature Le Pout salad which is available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian variation.
Chicken Herb Sandwich: Out of the sandwiches and subs listed in the menu, we ordered Chicken Herb Sandwich. The chicken tikka pieces were very nicely mixed with mint salad combined together with cheese, cream and sauces in soft bread. The stuffing was so fulfilling that it oozes out as you take a bite. I wish they would have added more of chicken pieces to it, so it would have satisfied me more 🙂 (chicken lover can’t help :P) but overall loved it.
Le Pout: Le pout the signature salad of Just Bing’g’e is something which is not to be missed at all. The crispy hot french fries mixed together with sauteed mushrooms and fresh lettuce and dressed with three different sauces. This amazing blend was so creamy and crispy that it won my heart in the first bite itself. Although its listed in the salad sections but definitely not recommended for the people on a serious diet. But yes, this unique combination was really amazing. Even if you are not a salad lover you must not fail to order it.
By this time, I was already full but was still willing to try some more salad from their extensive menu so we decided to give Chicken in Pisa a try. This was salad listed in the non-veg section in which chicken pieces are mixed with pasta and variety of sauces and cream added on top of it.
Chicken in Pisa: Chicken in Pisa was a good choice that we made and the same was suggested by the restaurant staff as well. The salad had chicken pieces mixed with pasta, olives, veggies and variety of sauces and mayo. The flavor of this salad was amazing. I loved it completely. Just a suggestion to increase the quantity of chicken into as it would have made it more amazing. ( for me, at least :P). Rest the salad was very nicely presented which definitely makes a good impression. This is going to be definitely in my order list next time I am visiting the place.
Overall I felt this cafe is a good addition to the list of cafes in Navi Mumbai to hangout and relish some exotic food which doesn’t go very heavy on your pocket as the average meal for two would cost around Rs 400-500. I wish that they should expand the sitting space in near future so that you can go ahead with the complete gang itself without giving any second thoughts.
My overall experience was great at Just bing’g’e and would definitely plan to binge there again and this time with my family.
Total Rating is 4/5
Thanks again Pooja @ Nuvofoodies for inviting me and introducing me to this new place.
