Gastronomic pilgrimage in Mumbai

yup they are originally from Nagpur but their major outlets are in Delhi.

Skinny, Skinny , Skinny........going to right place and choosing the wrong stuff....thats the problem...if u wanted to have paneer makhani and channa masala then i think u wud have done better to goto some mughlai or north indian restaurent ........but to order them in a gujrati speciality restaurent ....this is not done....

read my review on Soam , posted earlier and see the dishes i recommended ......they are wholely and solely of Gujarat....

I wouldnt goto Soam for some north indian fare..yes, their decor is wierdly minimalistic but it goes well and the crockery in which they serve is very ethnic and i love eating with them.

Give Soam another shot with the dishes that i recommended not the usual north indian fare....its like asking for mexican tortilla in a Udupi restaurent

i would highly recommend against Chetana. the place is surviving on its past glory

well i tried the khichdi and the misal which is maharashtrian but no dice.

the khichdi im telling u was the worse thing in the world ever. mabe im not cut out for most indian food.

Well on Sat was at Out of the Blue, bandra... nice joint preety dimly lighted... they had a person for drawin your portrait outside in the non-a/c area... Foodwise the foundue are g8t... sizzlers well i suggest opting for Kobes or Yokos or Cafe Royal as compared to this. The pastas were nice... Deserts were great !!!

Exp wise... abt 700 odd per person with drinks

Well yes Chetana is living on past glory.......
the thali's served here are nothing special and not worth the money u pay for them now but ........the chaat that i had here on several occasions is quite nice and considering the requirements of FromUSAwithlove.....i think it was a apt choice

does this ring some bell.....

i believe this what one ought to have in Soam , only then one can appreciate the food availible here.
no moong dal khichdi or Missal .....goto Aswaad for Missal

oh bollocks. i got ripped off

just as well though...

what do you recommend for a Saturday morning breakfast around Bandra?

hei whats with ur new obsession with Bandra..........any new interest in Bandra or what??

Traffalgar chowk might be interesting, as i suggested u earlier
or Oven Fresh at Dadar

nearly forgot to mention ......again

for - bit continental-indian-english style breakfast head to Tea Centre, Churchgate....
and this time dont ask for missal or dal makhani here ....... do have Scones here yummmmmmmmmmmmm

my lady friend is in Bandra but she isnt from Bombay. so i have to find places
