Zenzy Mumbai-Sawadee Karp!!

Meet Akshay Chitre….who has spent time in UK for his MBA but came back to give his home ground, Bandra East in Mumbai India, a run for it’s money where Thai cuisine is concerned!!

This young guy is the strong and silent type, no airs, no frills and no drama king. He just spells ‘thai food’ out for you through his elaborate menu at Zenzi Mumbai, the newest spankiest Thai food restaurant in Bandra East.

Says Akshay, “It has been only eight months now that the restaurant is here and am enjoying the Thai journey. Bandra East is home to many restaurants so why not some good Thai food.I am happy with the delivery orders that I get and can barely keep up. I am hoping that more corporate here in Bandra east order in bulk for parties and corporate lunches, that’s my aim and am working hard towards it.”

This young lad, knows what he wants and how to get it. He is very patient and calm for a young lad just back from UK. He says he tried his hand at working and then ultimately wanted to throw it all up to be his own boss and command each day as it comes. His restaurant , actually converted from a garage opposite the MIG Club in Bandra East is an amazing story of a young entrepreneur who saw a future in food and turned it around to spell success. It is always such a pleasure see young people invest good quality time in their dreams and work hard to make them a reality.His is one good example.

Akshay also writes and will soon publish his love story book he says on “Three women who narrate their love story woes.” Basically the boy, doesn't have a single lazy bone in his body, always up to something progressive and smart, he says he writes his book on his phone on three days, Mondays , Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when the crowds are less in his restaurant. He has his schedule chalked out and you can tell him apart.

Of course coming  back to the Thai food he offers which are very reasonable prices, the Prawn in baby onion and spinach was to die for, the Green fish curry with coconut spicy rise was good, but nothing to beat the fresh dumplings and Thai Tom Yum soup.You have to try it out.

It was a culinary journey to the flavours, colours and aromas of Thailand, all right. So if you are in Bandra East and in need for some good Thai food, check this small cozy Thai restaurant out,  It’s not fine dining or hi fi but if you are hungry and want to simply relish food, step in!!!

More than the food, I can vouch that Akshay will go far in life! His cool, warm and enterprising hard working qualities will surely catapult him to higher culinary accomplishments .His gourmet journey has just begun.. and how!!
