Some café meals instantly give you FOMO, and Shelter X Javaphile was exactly that for me. We started with the Tiger Point Corn Fritters, which were crisp, comforting, and easily one of my favourite dishes of the meal. The Korean Cauli Poppers were addictive and packed with flavour, while the Bambai Burger stood out because of the beetroot addition that elevated the entire experience. The Mediterranean Hummus Bowl was fresh, wholesome, and beautifully done with spinach hummus, beetroot hummus, classic hummus, fresh pita bread, lavash, sautéed vegetables, and falafels. And I have to say this — the breads here are unreal. Whether it was the burger bun or the pita bread, some of the softest breads I’ve had in Bombay. The Tropical Mango Cloud and Java Chip Frappe were both delicious, and we ended the meal with the indulgent Caramel Cloud Toast, which was soft, sweet, and the perfect ending. Comforting food, lovely vibe, and a café you’ll definitely want to revisit.

Had a wonderful experience at Shelter Bandra! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The Paneer Bhurji Focaccia was absolutely delicious, and the Sun-Dried Tomato Burrata Pizza was loaded with great flavors. The Tofu Makhani Curry was rich, creamy, and comforting. The Crispy Paneer Burger was perfectly crispy on the outside while staying juicy and soft on the inside. For drinks, the Matcha Cloud was smooth and refreshing, and the Java Chip Frappé was a great pick. To end the meal, the Cream Cheese Carrot Cake was truly out of this world—easily one of the best desserts I've had. Great food, lovely ambience, and excellent service made the entire experience memorable. Looking forward to visiting again!

Had a great experience at Shelter X Javaphile, Bandra. The ambience is warm, cozy, and perfect for a relaxed meal or catching up with friends. We tried the Mango Mocktails, Chicken Tinga Pizza, Hot Chick Burger, and Kimchi Fried Rice, and everything was well-presented and flavorful. The pizza was definitely a highlight. The overall vibe of the place really adds to the experience, making it a spot you’d want to spend time at rather than just grab a quick bite. Looking forward to visiting again!

Cozy corners, warm aesthetics, and the perfect café vibe. Javaphile is the kind of place you’ll want to stay awhile. Great food, comforting seating, and an inviting ambiance. Javaphile is a café worth slowing down for. We paired the Japanese Matcha Ice Latte and Iced Sea Salt Mocha with a Peri Peri Paneer Wrap, Guacamole & Cream Cheese Tartine, and a flavorful Asian Peanut Bowl. And of course, we ended with their delicious Tiramisu.l

Used to love coming to Shelter. Now they have a no laptop no ipad no study policy on weekends. Even if you volunteer that you will shut your laptop if theres a guest waiting, they dont care. Basically, they dont want you spending even a minute longer here than you need to finish your food. Nobody cares about experience anymore- eat and leave. But the worst part is Rishi- he seems to have an attitude that will take this place down. Even if you’re speaking to him politely and with a smile, he seems to have some arrogance and needs serious training in customer communication.

Very poor crowd handling and service. We were asked to wait for a table for a while by Rishi. On pointing out a table that was almost vacated by a group which was about to leave, Rishi did not seat us and did not even ask the group to vacate the table for new customers. The food and beverage service was also criminally slow and waiters were less than alert. I had to get up 3 times to go talk to a waiter. This will definitely be our last visit to this place. Staff needs to be trained well to handle customers better.
