I had first eaten at Faasos in Pune more than a couple of years back and had loved their service and food, So when they opened in Bombay a while ago, passing by, I dropped in and found the same taste and put their number on my speed dial.

Over the past 6-8 months I have ordered half a dozen times and have had sweet-bitter experiences every time - starting from perfect delivery, not being delivered for more than 2 hours and being constantly assured that the boy had left, specifically requesting for change of 500/- and not receiving it etc. etc.

The last order was on Wednesday, when they managed to send an egg roll without onions against an Aaloo+Egg and that too after 4 calls and nearly 60 minutes.

Having said that, the price point has made it a run away success, added to that is the yummy taste of wraps.

The portions are decent. Two wraps are good enough to have your fill.

Now if they only get their delivery right!

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:)

Shop No.1, Royal Classic, New Link Road, Andheri (W), Mumbai

Quite Good

Tried the French Loaf out first in Pune….I loved the sandwiches & my daughter their cakes.

So decided to try out the panini sandwich here, perfect except the price - somehow not really VFM.

The small pack of mawa cakes is also exorbitantly priced.

The partries, puff, pattice are lovely as are the whole grain bread.

Turning down

A great place to hang around & try out the variety of sandwiches & rolls/bombay burgers once upon a time, has now turned into worse than leela who does not allow auto rickshaws into their hotels.

Though the food is pretty decent, with the attitude if not corrected may lead to……But WTF location is what matters so JAI HO JAY

During my recent visit to Pune, staying in Kalyani Nagar, where I did not see too many restaurants & more so who would do home delivery. However, having seen this a couple of times en route to Symbiosis Campus decided to try it out one night by ordering Home Delivery:

Channa Masala
Lachhedar Paratha
Aloo Cheese Roll
Egg Roll

Delivered in 20 minutes; HOT & amazingly fresh. The order was perfect - where without onions - was remembered, et all.

Try it out because it is surely now on my redial list for my visit to Pune.

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……

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!

Lucky Sandwich

An old place that starts 11 am in the morning till at least 12.30 in the night. The veg sandwiches; aloo toast as well as Grilled sandwiches are what keeps people coming back again. A couple of years back, he started selling Pizzas, completely bombaiya style, that now has its own fan following including me & my daughter. The thick base with liberal amount of sauce & just the right amount of cheese, baked to perfection, crisp as a biscuit at the bottom & soft at the top…..already has me thinking of going there this week… Ask for the chilli sauce to be spread over it & hog:) Pure Value for Money
