Visit Day Date n Time:- Tuesday 10-Jan-17, 8.30 p.m.

"Estella" a newly (just a month old) opened sea facing restaurant located in Juhu area of the City, serves modern Australian cuisine with a touch of Asian and European flavours, it's owned an managed by Silver Beach Entertainment & Hospitality Private Limited who have other popular hotels like Nom Nom, Silver Beach Cafe and Radio Bar.

It's quite spacious outlet classified into two sections (i.e Interior dinning section and Outer beach deck) with seating options available within as well as the outer deck including the Bar and Private Cabana's. An ideal place for romantic dates where you can enjoy your food in the open air under the stars with mesmerizing view of the Juhu beach totally justifies the tag line Sea Stars and Sins.

The food menu is designed creatively by Chef Rohan and his team, which indeed reflects unique personality of this place. Being first visit, we requested the Chef to suggest the food and on basis of which we ordered Spanish Seafood Al Ajilio, Chicken Wings Cakes Decompressed, Salad, Hazelnut & Parmesan Crusted Chicken Escallop, Baked Mud Crab & Ricotta, Triple Layered Chocolate Ganache with Espresso Crumble, Budwiser Beer and Margarita. Really impressed by food suggestion from the Chef and his kindness of finding out our experience after every dish. 

• Spanish Seafood Al Ajilio:- Simply loved the combo of Clams, Shrimps & Scallops served in buttery garlic sauce with garlic breads.

• Chicken Wings Cakes Decompressed:- Thing i loved about this dish was poached spinach, it really enriched taste of the chicken wings cakes.

• Salad:- I'm not much of salad person but was quite impressed with the freshness of the veggies contained in the salad.

• Hazelnut & Parmesan Crusted Chicken Escallo:- Perfectly cooked Chicken and good option on the menu for the Chicken lovers.

• Baked Mud Crab & Ricotta:- One of my favourite from the menu. Crab shell filled with yummy stuffing of crabmeat, herbs and ricotta cheese placed over herbed risotto and tomato cream sauce. If you are crab person then you will definitely love it.

• Triple Layered Chocolate Ganache with Espresso Crumble:- Lip-smacking. Worth a try.

Food portions are good enough and sufficient for one person.

Recommendation:- Spanish Seafood Al Ajilio, Hazelnut & Parmesan Crusted Chicken Escallop, Baked Mud Crab & Ricotta, Triple Layered Chocolate Ganache with Espresso Crumble.

Excellent service right from the moment we entered the premises till the time we left, which perfectly compliment the fascinating ambiance and appetizing food.
