Waroda road in bandra has been the residential for Christians with their small row houses and buildings. The road that leads out to the St Andrews Church is a thoroughfare for traffic, vehicles popping out from small by lanes. In this traffic busy street is the quaint Birdsong Cafe which boats of being completely organic. As we enter the cafe we are greeted by our attendant Deepak. The cafe is very simple on decor, with not much paintings or antiques in place, bulps hanging from the ceiling and wooden tables with steel chairs, gives it a good feel. There is a mezzanine floor also if you don't find a table downstairs, but for that you have to climb a steep ladder with the help of a rope hanging by the side.
As we scan through the menu card which you either see it on the black board wall behind the counter or they hand out a small menu card. I wanted to eat a Chicken Mayo sandwich between two of us but it would have been much less so i requested to add an omelet to it and convert it into a club sandwich. Deepak readily agreed to it with the reply that it would be charged extra.

The deserts i was told are the USP of the place, so we tried to order their walnut cake but unfortunately it was over so we ordered a banana walnut cake, it was OK. So was the coffee and Assam Tea. Idling around for over an hour, we see through the large glass windows, is a man standing outside his house, wearing a blue shirt and bermudas, some youngsters with fishing rods, woman going to the market. When the bill arrives we are charged Rs 425, for the club sandwich, does it cost that much at Tea Centre in Churchgate i don't think so. Rest of the beverages and desert were reasonably priced. Over all it was an experience to have, the Birdsong cafe is surely a visit once without fail.
