Tibb’s Lokhandwala

Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

Let’s eat here!

Shop No 13, Greenville, Oshiwara, Lokhandwala, Andheri (W) Mumbai 400 053

A fast food started by Mr. Jasmeet Tibbs son of the original owner, yet to officially open on Monday 3, 2009.

Passing by on our way to check out if we could get some Chaat at our old Bhaiyya, my wife suddenly saw this board & reading Sandwiches her eyes lighted up (a glutton who has to try even the worst sandwiches once at least).

Parking the car, we made our way to the bright eatery which just had 3 people sitting outside on the table, but lots of people inside.

Whilst my wife was speaking to a young lady outside, I made my way inside to take a couple of photographs. Immediately Mr. Tibbs came inside to find out, what I would be interested in tasting.

We ordered a veg grilled sandwich, a egg & veg frankie & one of their signature fries with the mustard sauce.

Waiting for it, Mr. Tibbs again personally came up & said, we are still testing it out, hence the sandwich will not be recommended, however he insisted that I share his chicken brown bread sandwich and a piece of the barbeque chicken which I happily agreed to.

Chicken Brown Bread Sandwich - Good, the bread could have been better, but the stuffing was amazing, spread completely, with just the tinge of spice which exploded with every mouthful. No sauces required = very good:)

Hot & Spicy Fries - Amazing packed in a takeaway with mayo+mustard tangy dip. Fries & dip were excellent, though the Salt could have been a bit less, which I am sure would come with practice in a day or so.

Barbeque Chicken (Tandoori chicken) - Amazingly, tingling good. The right amount of spices, just the tinge of black, hot & superbly grilled.

Veg Frankie - Nothing really to be said after their millions of frankies have been sold.

Over all a super experience, definitely a visit & must of home order.

The packing, ingredients & price are complete Value for Money.

By the Way, do not rush because they open for business only from Monday 3rd November 2009.

We were the lucky tasters:)

Recession - Check the Traffic

Posted in Rants & Raves |

People keep talking about Recession as if it is a dirty word! But looking at the number of vehicles that ply on the streets of Mumbai, one would be forgiven if one thinks that the word is not applicable here!

Cafe Indilite

Posted in Restaurant; Hotels; Food |

Having read about this & seen it passing by, decided to try it out on a Saturday night.

Since it has recently opened, there were very few tables occupied - mainly family, filmy crowd enjoying themselves.

Loved the decor, wide open space between tables so no eavesdropping. AC working fine. Neat clothes, good crockery.

Decided to try an item each from all types.

Started with Chaat…Nope sorry, they have discontinued it.

Garlic Bread in Chinese - oh we do not have italian so we put it here. OK not even passable….slice of wibbs bread toasted & grated garlic. 0/5

Margherita Pizza - Very good in taste, just the right amount of cheese. 3.5/5 because there was no chilli flakes or chilli sauce & need to upgrade the ketchup also.

Sada Dosa - Very nice. good taste, option of 3 chutneys all of them good (coconut, garlic & mint) Sambhar was pretty nice too. 4.5/5

Chole Bhature - Very good. Chole were extremely nice, but lime had to be asked for & should have been piping hot. The Bhature could have been less oily/patted dry but the taste was really nice & even after 10 odd minutes could be chewed. 4/5

Clay oven Paratha - Superb paratha, hot chole, black dal. All in all the best of the lot. 5/5

Total Damages including soft drinks 785/- for 3 people.

Vikash one of the owners was around to make sure things run properly. The staff is young & enthusiastic, with a little more training would do well.

The price is pretty OK but could not understand for the steep difference in prices of a normal paratha vs clay oven.

But shall go back to try out the punjabi & chinese stuff soon.
