dining out?
"Indian Hotel", "Hamza's", "Tawakkal" and "Idrees Cold Drink"
fine eateries - at Bhendi Bazaar - stones throw from the big Mazaar - on the way to Chor Bazaar - in east west lane - the entry to the lane is across the road from Pathanwadi aka Piru Galli - proceed west from Ibrahim Rahimtulla Road - as you enter the lane on the left is Saifee Ambulance Office - proceed twentyfive meters beyond that point - on the right is Tawakkal Sweets - adjoining Tawakkal is "Indian Hotel" a little ahead on the left is Hamza's.
you cant miss it if your nose is right - the aroma of the food reaches you before you can see the shop - what you see first is the big tava with the ganji clad chef - adjoining the stainless steel topped tables which during the afternoon are used for chopping and marinating and later double up for dining (strictly no wining here!) -
Indian Hotel beginners - Rolls (forget frankies forever!), BaidaRotis and Senwitch. intermediate - Bhuna with naan followed by rice (hardboiled eggs and spicy aloo to go along). advanced - Bheja, Gurda, Kaleja all deep fried with spicy thick Brishta gravy all devoured with round naan or FakiriPav.
Hamza's Sheekh Kebob like you've never had it better followed by Tikkas of so many kinds - Chicken, Gosh, Kaleji, Kheeri, with lots of Pudina and Pyaaz . . . . some firang items by 'popular' demand have crept in and corrupted the menu while helpless protesters like me shouted ourselves hoarse (like pizzas, russian salad rolls and what not!) the quality and taste of these too is good but as out of place as serious business on FUFA!
Tawakkal's Diabetic's anathema - sweets of all kinds - especially the Maalpoa, and the Firni (in the small clay plate)! Finally on the way home buy 500 grams (enough for a family) of Suterfeni and dunk it in unsweetened warm milk for fifteen minutes before consuming at the next breakfast!
On the way out of the hoggers park - stop at Idrees Cold Drink and have some never before sodas too! buy a 1.5 liter pack of Jeera drink from Surat to carry home too!Private Reply to SOEB FATEHI (new win) |
