Hidden Gem of a Restaurant.
We did not know this place existed till we read about it on Tripadvisor. Most of the stand-alone restaurants of this hill station are on the main market road, which is a walking plaza. Grapevine is located on Masjid Road just behind the walking plaza road, just opposite Fountain Village Hotel. We got parking on the road since it was a weekday, but otherwise it is better to park in the paid parking lot near the main market, from where it is a five minute walk.
Grapevine is a very cosy restaurant on three levels, including a mezzanine floor and a basement. The smaller 4 seater wrought iron tables are at the basement and ground floor level, and a 10 seater table on the mezzanine. We were greeted by the bartender as we entered. The menu mainly has a number of Parsi dishes like dhansak, patra ni macchi, salli boti mutton, as well as pastas, bugers and pizzas. Though it is an excellent restaurant for the die-hard non vegetarian, one can also have a good choice of veg food too. Prices were reasonable considering the quality and quantity of the food.
We visited Grapevine on two occasions on our last trip to Mahabaleshwar. Once we tried their Bar-b-q chicken with Mediterranean cheese toast, and both were excellent. Another time we had the Pasta Napolitane and Garlic toast. They serve cocktails and mocktails too, but we had a simple fresh lime soda to go with the food. The service is very courteous. In fact the owner, Mr Raiomand Irani himself came down to make sure we were enjoying the meal.
We would definitely love to visit again on our next trip to Mahabaleshwar, and try Raiomand's Parsi food.
