What We Tried
We tried a variety of dishes, each bringing its own fresh and unique flavors. The Beetroot Couscous Salad was a refreshing start. The sweet, earthy beetroot paired perfectly with creamy feta and crunchy walnuts, all tossed in a honey-lemon dressing with just the right touch of sweetness. Then there was the Super Millets Bowl which was filling and delicious. With hearty barley, roasted beets, creamy avocado, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, every bite felt wholesome.
The Avocado Toast was another winner. The creamy guacamole, sharp feta, and tangy pickled onions paired perfectly with the crunchy nuts. It was simple yet packed with flavour.
Next was the Spaghettini al Pesto—light, fresh, and beautifully coated in a vibrant pesto sauce, with juicy cherry tomatoes adding a delightful burst of sweetness. Saving the best for the last, we had the Primavera pizza topped with roasted bell peppers, zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and pickled onions. The tomato sauce and melted mozzarella provided a comforting touch, while the veggies added a perfect balance of sweetness and tang.
No meal is complete without a touch of sweetness, so we indulged in the gelato. It was, by far, the best decision we made. The Fior di Fragola was divine, with creamy Fior di Latte gelato, swirled with strawberry goodness, and sprinkled with crunchy vanilla cookie crumbles. I appreciated that they also cater to vegans, offering gelato varieties they can enjoy. Overall, it was a meal filled with delightful flavours and textures—I savoured every bite.
What Worked
Frozen Fun Café impressed me with its unique take on Italian flavours. The Super Millets Bowl was a standout, championing barley, roasted beets, creamy avocado, and crunchy pumpkin seeds that made each bite satisfying and refreshing. For dessert, the Fior di Fragola gelato was an absolute treat. The strawberry flavour combined with the crunch of vanilla cookie bits was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. Both dishes had a perfect balance of comfort and creativity, making my experience at the café truly memorable.
Verdict
Frozen Fun Café felt more than just a spot to satisfy my sweet tooth – it was an experience filled with warmth, flavour, and friendly smiles. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed, setting the tone for a memorable visit. The gelato selection was the true showstopper, with tempting flavours that I couldn’t resist trying a few. They had something for everyone, including some delicious vegan sorbets that felt just as indulgent.
But it wasn’t all about the sweets! I was just as impressed with the savoury side of the menu. The Roman-style pizzas were a treat, perfectly crafted with a crispy crust and flavourful toppings. With such a diverse menu, Frozen Fun Café has something for everyone, making it a must-visit destination in Bandra!
