Ratings: 5 stars (out of 5)

Tried it out a fortnight ago 2nd Oct to be precise, on insistence of a friend since they were renovating the restaurant. Decided to try out a soup & starter since no drinks were being served; ended up with practically a complete meal. The Dim Sum were great, particularly the steamed ones ~ both vegetarian & chicken. The soup, just the right quantity & extremely piping hot, the way I prefer. The fried chicken rice was great, not oily at all….The dessert pretty good. Service awesome…They delayed the sauce for dim sum; when pointed out, the half eaten plate of dim sum were whisked away & replaced with fresh sauces(Am sure lot of other restaurants do it but this was done by the waiter~~ great initiative & trust) Am waiting to revisit it again with family!

A newly opened take away place. In the truely Kolkatta style, with open kitchen where the rolls are prepared in front of you. (The other dishes are made somewhere else & delivered according to their claim) Tried out their Chicken & Egg Rolls a couple of times. Definitely good value, though the Kolkatta taste seemed to be tempered to meet bombay palatte (less mustard & spice). The prices are pretty reasonable. Good for the bong connection in & around lokhandwala! BEWARE ~ HOME DELIVERY NEEDS TO BE 2 Hours even for Rolls. Tried them out 2 times on this also

A small dingy cart just before the gurudwara, in business since nearly 1999. Typical Calcutta rolls including the smell, taste & price. Value for money stuff. You will find it populated by college crowd or even service people getting down at the bus stop, picking up a couple of rolls on their way home. Some of the old timers continue parking their cars & having a roll, before the drive off. Closes by 10 pm. On & off good delivery service most of the time. Consistency in taste has been maintained. Has been featured by midday etc.:) Definitely worth a dekho!

Kalinga Veg Restaurant

Nyayadeep Society, Behind Sab Tv Tower Oberoi Complex, Andheri West, Mumbai

Ratings: 3 stars (out of 5)

A typical Veg restaurant. You want it we have it ~ South Indian, Punjabi, Chinese, Chats, Pav Bhaji, Pizzas, Juices & all that. The quality has improved over the last one year & worth a visit, though it is a tossup between them & Shabari which is in the next lane. Caters to the kitty party crowd quite successfully.

Kirti College Vada Pav

Kirti College, Shivaji Park, Dadar, Mumbai
Ratings: 5 stars (out of 5)

Been there since ages. Ashok opens it early morning & is open till late evening. The vada’s are large with appropriate pav size, always served sizzling hot with his unique chura, making the stuffing extremely large & well worth the price of 8/- Always has the extra chutneys & mirchi~~ to help you; and there is the lovely adrak tea next door. A place worth visiting on a saturday afternoon, particularly if you are driving back from town! Or once in a way make a special visit.

Looks like some changes at the place? A new printed menu, a steward to take your orders outside, so on & so forth. Tried out the bakery stuff yesterday night….Same taste, quality & quantity….though my daughter says..higher prices!

Tried it out for guests over from Gujarat. The butter chicken & hariyali chicken was just right, with definitely different, color & taste to both. The rotis were delivered hot & biryani was also pretty good. Definitely on my list of using it more often.
