Food Hall Tour | Bandra Link road | The Tasho Vlog

If you’re a true-blue foodie like I am, the mere mention of Foodhall should be enough to put a spring in your step. So the minute I heard about Foodhall opening its largest outlet in the country in Bandra, I could not keep calm! Suffice it to say that you could find me online, scrolling through news feeds, simply waiting for this swish new outlet to open up. And then finally, it did.
This spanking new outlet is located on Linking Road, Santacruz West and sprawls across 25,000 sq. ft. Needless to say, it’s hard to miss, what with it being brightly lit and spread over four floors, beckoning you to come in and experience the joy of food. Of course, I needn’t mention how happy I was to finally walk through those glass doors, into Foodhall@Linking Road!
The Ground Level
I was greeted by the sight of beautiful green Hass avocadoes and fiery jalapenos neatly stacked in their clear boxes. The experience had begun. The ground level hosts The Bakery, the Juice Bar, the Farmer’s Market and The Fresh Garden.
Foodhall bakes its own bread at its warehouse, delivering it fresh to the outlet. Shop from fresh and artisanal breads and even healthy alternatives like quinoa bread and keto-friendly loaves. The counter even displays a neat little bakery schedule that notes the exact time of baking, so that what you’re picking up is always fresh.
The Farmer’s Market takes pride of place in the centre of the room, filled to bursting with fresh, organic and non-organic vegetables and fruits. Think Granny Smith apples, Fuji apples, lettuce, leafy greens and more. Speaking of which, the store employs cutting-edge technology by bringing to the city its very first Hydroponic Wall. What is that, you ask?
Filled your basket with fresh produce? Take a break at the Juice Bar, curated by Sequel. Sip on a cold pressed juice or grab a smoothie from the bar as you flick your eyes over to The Flower Shop to the left. Stocked with fresh new flowers nearly every day, this spot urged me to stop a while and take in the beauty of the soft blooms. Round off your visit to the ground level by stocking up on Foodhall’s in-house dips and then zoom up to Level One!
Level One
As I stepped onto this floor, the rich scent of coffee assailed my nostrils. Sure enough, level one houses The Coffee Roastery & Coffee Lab, The House of Tea Salon, Foodhall’s Xocolatl’57, Japan’s confectionary brand Yoku Moku and India’s La Folie, apart from kitchen accessories and the like.
Xocolatl’57 at Foodhall, Linking Road
The Coffee Lab features hot brews curated by Koinonia Coffee Roasters with a sleek roasting machine sectioned off by a glass wall. So yes, you can pick the coffee bean best suited to your palate and watch it being whipped up specially for you. Not a coffee person? Fret not, just turn around and head to the beautifully appointed House of Tea Salon, with an entire wall dedicated to loose leaf teas with different properties.
I was offered a glass of lukewarm lavender tea which was every bit as delicious as the kettle it was poured from! Other offerings included Rose Bud tea, De-stress tea, Vanilla tea and more. The House of Tea Salon also offers gift boxes in quirky shapes and colours that you can choose from and fill up with your favourite loose leaf tea. Better still, they host high tea parties in the evenings, so you can visit with your friends and indulge in dainty macarons and madeleines as you sip on soothing tea.
Second Level
The Second Level consists of Foodhall’s first platform for cooking enthusiasts - The Foodhall Cookery Studio and its first Italian restaurant, Sorrentina. It also houses cutlery and top-notch kitchen gadgets from prestigious brands like Furi (used on MasterChef), Stanley Rogers and Kitchen Aid, all of which are available only at this outlet.
Cooking enthusiast or not, you must head to The Foodhall Cookery Studio that will instantly remind you of every MasterChef episode you’ve ever seen. This experiential kitchen brings culinary experts together to offer interactive cooking classes and certification courses. These include fun sessions like pizza making, learning to bake gingerbread houses, Keto masterclasses and lots more, nearly every day.
Lower Ground
Now this floor sure is something! As you look around, you’re bound to feel like a kid in a candy store. From the Cheese Cellar with 100 varieties of cheese to the exotic Chocolate Library packed with decadent treats, it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of.
We stopped by the Wine Cellar where you can choose from exquisite vintages before moving on to the World Of Nuts. This space holds several different types of salt (bag some Urte salt on your next visit if you’re an oregano lover), spices and more
