Food
To go with the beer, we called for some stir fried veggies followed by fish tempura. While the veggies were done perfectly (just the right amount of cooking the broccoli, baby corn, button and shitake mushrooms), the fish tempura could have had smaller pieces and thinner fried batter.
For the main course, the slow cooked lemon chicken was a slight disappointment. Not because it tasted bad, but because I didn't even get a hint of lemon in the dish. It was probably marinated in lemon, but then a lot of chicken dishes are marinated in lemon. If the name on the menu says lemon, I'd like it to taste of it.

Menu variety
The menu has a decent variety of items to choose from. No beef though. Which is kinda expected from the place when they've made it look so much like an American diner. You can see the menu here - http://indiareckoner.net/mumbaireadyreckoner/restaurantmenus/tag/some-like-it-hot/

Service
We were given brilliant service! Our waiter, Mohit, used to work at Spaghetti Kitchen in Phoenix Mills, Lower Parel, and he recognized me coz I have been there many times. He took excellent care of us. The service by other waiters was prompt as well and food came quickly on our table.
We were even encouraged to request songs to the DJ. And at the end of it, we even got a 20% discount! Just like that :)


Ambiance
I personally don't like the American diner look. With the red chairs and booths. It seems very breakfasty to me. Its a happy morning look. And I was there for dinner. Though the place does serve breakfast as well, it opens only at 12 noon. Too fresh a look for a place that isn't even open in the mornings.


Value for money
For a pitcher of beer, 2 starters and 1 main course, the bill came to about 1000 bucks after the 20% discount. Decent price for Andheri west standards.

Location
It's quite close to Jail and on the same floor as Masala Mantar which is quite popular in the area.

And in conclusion...
The food is good, the service is great and customers will start pouring in soon. I suggest you make a visit!
