A Bandra based cloud kitchen is baking indulgent and innovative pies that will thrill hardcore meat lovers and make vegetarians smile too

Pie-lovers in the city have a new address to head to. This one’s on St Andrew’s Road in Bandra West. Phat Fillings is a delivery kitchen that aims to become the go-to spot for late-night comfort food to share with your friends and family. This venture, launched by Vidit Aren, ex-chef at Soufflé S’il Vous Plaît, along with his long-time friend Xerxes Bhathena, was born out of their shared passion for gluttony. Their inspiration, we learnt later after a quick chat with the duo, struck them on a drunken night together, when they found themselves craving pies, a comfort food rarely found in Mumbai.
We decided to sample their offerings on a Saturday afternoon. The pies arrived after a 45 minute commute from their delivery kitchen fresh and hot. It was carefully secured in packaging designed with individual sections for each pie. The box came with clear reheating instructions. However, the common packaging for both vegetarian and meat pies was a glitch for us, particularly for those who prefer clear separate sections for their options.
