Food
After an important meeting with an important client, me and my colleague headed towards Sadichha to have Konkani / Malvani food. Let me tell you my opinion upfront. Compared to Gajalee or Highway Gomantak or even Goa Portuguesa, this places falls flat on its face.

Not that it stopped us from hogging though. We ordered for prawns sukkha, bombil fry, sol kadi, tisrya sukkha, fish curry, bhakris and vades. The prawns sukkha was a yellow colored dry and bland dish. When you eat coastal food, you're really hoping for more spices and I associate a sukkha dish with red colored, spicy, dry items. The bombil fry was alright and I was missing Gajalee's green chutney at this time. Sadichha did have a dry red garlic coconut chutney, but again, it lacked any taste. I could not get strong hints of any flavors at all. The tisrya (clams) was thankfully a little spicy, but was again missing the waft of spices and the flavors at the back of my mouth. The fish in the curry has no taste of it's own and the only items I really enjoyed were the rice bhakris and the sol kadi. The rest of the food was disappointing. The only thing that kept me going was my hunger.

Menu variety
This place has all the items that you'd want in a coastal cuisine place. But I didn't see anything new or creative. Maybe they have tried to keep to the roots of the kind of food they are serving.

Service
The guy who took our order was nice and courteous and told us what the bhakri of the day was. However, nothing great in service.

Ambiance
No air conditioner! I was there for lunch in summer...and this is a popular place! Why no AC? No great shakes about ambiance. Just a few tables and benches. I'm not against simple looking places, but the food has to be mindblowing in such cases. This place was below-average to average in all counts.


Value for money
For the kind of food you get here, I wouldn't pay anything more than a total of Rs. 300 for all the items I mentioned above. So I say bad VFM.

Location
Good for people who work at BKC. But you can't walk here. You have to take a rick or a car.


And in conclusion...
No. Don't go.
