It was a Sunday, some weeks ago, a rare day when we decided to meet up with friends for some drinks and dinner.

Gathering at a friends place, after a couple of drinks, the usual questions of ‘What shall we order? Where shall be order from?’ arose and D said let’s try our China 1 but they don’t deliver, but since everyone was in agreement, somebody would go an pick it up.

However, I prevailed on everyone to go there and eat, especially since, I was trying it out for the first time and wanted to check out the ambience, service et all. Read the rest of this entry »

Tirupati Towers, JP Road, Versova, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Tony’s legacy

A good place, that serves consistently amazing food for the past decade, though have seen it progressively getting expensive, but guess tony’s got to do it to open & subsidise the new restaurants he opens:)

Bhavans College Main Gate, Dadabhai Road, Andheri (W), Mumbai

missing krishna

Had a chance to visit this, since had to meet up someone & parked the car near to this place. The friend said, let’s grab a snack, went in, found it renovated, maybe done a couple of years ago, but i had gone after 10-12 years.

Serves all indian - south, north, east, west with mexican & italian thrown in.

Good stuff, reasonable prices, great service

Kya Baat hai Harish Ki

An impromptu afternoon session on the 30th dec 2006 with 3 friends deciding to have some beers in anticipation of the year end & all that jazz….

Went up the stairs….surprise some 5 friends had also the same idea….with the orders flowing, mobiles were whipped out & in no time more dropped in….by 2 pm there were 18-20 of us(bit diff to remember) Beer, vodka, gin flowed along with the lovely free chakna, interspersed with fish items, sukha chicken & mutton.

Finally it was the cell phone ringing from home, that decided to close the session at around 8pm

Been there a couple of times after that, met some unique people but never had such a blast.

90/A, Classic Corner Building, Near Holy Family Hospital, Next to Mocha Mojo, Hill Road, Bandra (W),

Super VFM

Have been a regular for years together. Everything is great including the friendly service. The veg & chicken rolls, burgers contain stuffing that would put Mcdonald & co to shame. The lolypops, spring roll are good if they are made just before you reach. And the mutton samosa’s are a must try……

24, MHADA Commercial Complex, Opposite Tarapore Gardens, Oshiwara, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Gujju Shetty

Started small, expanded, caters to almost entire oshiwara belt. His south indian has a tinge of gujju sweetness but chana masala, paneer masala & other punjabi stuff is great.

Delivers piping hot & always friend anna’s around…even with the owner a gujju.

Remember you can never run a restaurant without a manager or waiter who is a shetty, malyalee because manpower supply becomes a problem.

9, Raheja Classique, Oshiwara Link Road, Oshiwara, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Again & Again

Had taken off with a bang, but is now on a whimper. The paneer dishes are good, but the prices are not. Due to the location, parking availability does well, but their banquets do much better. However there are lot more options like myst; salt & pepper etc. that are much better

The Great Bhagwati is truly great in terms of its variety; consistency & quality of food - from snacks to a complete meal. What is surprising that they are able to maintain the quality at places where they undertake catering also.

Excellent food, particularly the paneer & vegetarian dishes, probably due to the vile parle gujju influence. However the prices are definitely not reasonable for the quantity & ambience. But consistency, location keeps one going again & again. Definitely worth a visit if that side. But remember congestion seems to be the name of the game, both outside & inside:)
