U Turn knows that Mumbaikars take their culinary cravings as seriously as they take their live cricket and football matches. So they offer an extensive multi-cuisine culinary lineup that spans indulgent fusion, casual bar bites, fulfilling main courses, and an impressive beverage menu.
The foundation of any sports bar is its finger food (dishes that are packed with flavor, easy to share, and complement a round of drinks). Their starter section offers classic Western comfort foods, Indian tandoori favorites, as well as punchy Indo-Chinese delicacies.
There are various crowd pleasers on the menu like Nacho Supreme, golden French Fries, Texas-style burgers, and BBQ Chicken Wings. Talking about the Indo-Chinese section, the dishes that are highly favored by regulars are: Paneer Chilli, Crispy Corn, Chicken Lollipop, and wok-tossed Schezwan Manchurian.
