A new eatery serving Middle Eastern and Italian fare is a decent addition to the suburb's packed F and B scene, but don't expect anything spectacular

Survival is often the name of the F&B game in Andheri. Restaurants keep opening and closing in the western suburb as if they are books on a shelf that you constantly rearrange, discarding some and replacing them with new titles. Only a few places have truly survived the test of time. And unless an eatery gets everything right, chances are it will fall like ninepins in the blink of an eye. The location needs to be spot on. The interiors must be inviting. The staff has to be affable. And the food and drinks are, of course, the most important elements that can make or break the success of a recent launch.
It's thus difficult to predict the longevity of Miniya Turk, a new restaurant in Lokhandwala that serves mainly Turkish and Italian food because it gets nothing terribly wrong. But at the same time, nothing sends you to seventh heaven. The place is located in the nether regions of a bylane that darts off New Link Road. It shares space in a building with three other eateries, all of which — including this one — are owned by the same hospitality group.
