Jam Session

Review: Jam Jar Diner

Marrying a foodie has its benefits. They will go to any lengths to find the best places to eat, ensure you are upto date on any new restaurants and you don’t have to visit any websites to check reviews cause you have your own personal ‘Zomato’ . They pride that. But then there is a flip side to it as well. They will wake you up on a Sunday morning and make you drive 30 km just to try a restaurant. 

Warning: Don’t marry a foodie, if you don’t want to share their love for food. 

And that’s exactly what I did. I convinced my (co-orperative) husband to skip breakfast take me and my mother in law for brunch. A long listless drive all the way from Thane to gloomy Versova. Eerie yet beautiful, we reached in flat 45 mins. Jam Jar is located in the aptly named Aram Nagar opposite an array of buildings which face the beautiful Arabian Sea. The quirky décor of rickety haphazard book shelves, colourful bird cages and a juke box makes for a very pleasing ambience. It also has this beautiful al fresco seating on top which could be quiet pleasant in this weather especially at nights. The menu is designed in a typical ‘American Diner’ way with a comprehensive range of breakfast options, cocktails, continental mains and deserts.

 

The Fluffy Egg White Omlette with mushrooms and cheese is beautifully well done (that’s how I like mine).

The Masala Omlette too was scrumptious.

The regular omlettes come with bread. Sides will cost additionally.

 

The Full Monty was a wholesome treat with bacon, sausages and baked beans. My husband devoured it till the last bite. 

The Ceasar Salad with Chicken was a ginormous bowl of soulfull food. One of the best I have had so far. The fresh watermelon juice was good as well.

 

We ended this on a sweet note, like literally, Fluffy Pancakes with Berry Compote and Whiped Cream. Ambrosia. 

Like Mother (in law) like Daughter (in law)

Jam Jar definitely is a must visit, the food quality is excellent and so is the fact that there is a plethora of options to choose from. 

MuseTip: Drive down like we did, on a Sunday Morning, for a quiet brunch and follow it up with a walk on the beach. Then come home and nap it. Trust me it will be one of the best naps you have had. 

The Happy Family
