INDIAN (MOGHLAI), Mumbai

It is not much to look at, but then Lazeez never was, just tables and chairs, and a large kitchen, which is the heart and soul of the place, with men toiling over tandoors and tavas. Service is reasonably fast, but not too fast, because everything is made on order, and the food naturally is fresh and fuly spiced. If you are an old lazeez diner, I do not have to describe the food, if not, read on. There are baida rotis, done in roomali, and rolls done in omelettes, some are rolled, others flat, all richly stuffed with meats, you eat them by themselves or with lashesof mint chutney. I prefer the chicken baida roti (Rs.40), it is the Indian version of the Indonesian murtabak. The chicken is minced and spread on the roomali, an egg beaten and poured on it, and the whole thing folded and slid on to the tava, allowing the chicken kheema and the egg to get mixed and cooked. A great deal of expertise is required to prevent the egg from running out. The interesting part is that the roti does not become crunchy like a dosa, it remains soft and yielding, and the minced chicken is moist with the egg, the tastes sealed within the roomali.

Favorite Dish: But my favourite is the bheja roll. The bheja is of the goat, it is mashed and mixed with chopped onions and tomatoes, not too much as to kill the taste of the bheja. These are laid on an omelette, and the omelette itself is laid on a maida patti, so that it will hold together when rolled. It is shallow fried and eaten au nature. At Rs.40, it's a steal. At double that price also it would be a steal.
The other bheja item is the bheja kebab, equally whole-heartedly recommended. A full bheja is served per order, but it is cut into five pieces for easier handling. It is cooked in a green masala, the pieces dipped in egg and rolled in bread crumbs. And I do not know how they manage it, but it is available for Rs.45.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Bombay. It is an old time-tested establishment which is no frills just good food. The food here is exceptional, it is just what bombay is about, get past the decor and the setting and just focus on the food. The seating is communal so don't be suprised if you have to share a table. The Specials are on a board on the back wall.

Favorite Dish: Chicken Stew W/ Naan - Now don't mistake this for your traditional western stew. It's just called stew it's actually a yummy green gravy served over pieces of Tandoori Grilled Chicken Best eaten with the Famous Baghdadi Naan.
This is a local haunt. Hence only for the DARING. If you believe your palette is up to it, this is where you should be eating. Trust me you will relish the food.

Fantastic place to sample local dishes....Very resonable prices. Nice, simple, traditional decor.
Note: Get your food toned down for spiciness incase you cannot handle HOT food.

Favorite Dish: Get ready to lick the plates clean...sample the seafood courses.Trust me on this one
Some of the restaurant specialities: stuffed bangra fry, mix shaguti, prawn bakshim curry, stuffed pomfret.

Well, my fav was Shetty's corner outside my hostel in Andheri- West. But any of the smallish Restaurants outside the stations are good. For non-vegetarians, 'Bade Miyan' behind Taj Hotel is Da-bomb. Ask anyone and they would tell you where Bade Miyan is.
You get all kinds of food in bombay and a large range of prices. From the Pasta at Trattoria at the President hotel to the Vada Pav at Juhuo beach. Depending on where you are you can spend as little as Rs.20 on a meal to - there really is no upper limit. I once had a meal with a friend at the Spanish restraunt at the President that cost Rs. 7000, and I am a vegetarian...of course I wasn't paying:).

Favorite Dish: Pav Bhaaji, Vada Pav, Cheeku Milkshake, Energy you can get these almost anywhere in Bombay. The kababs and currys are the best sellers at Bade Miyan,

BRITANNIA RESTAURANT at the old office area of BALLARD ESTATE.
This is open only during the afternoons for lunch and is closed in the evenings and during holidays.

Favorite Dish: BERI PULAO - A spicy rice preparataion with some herbs from Iran. You can either have it with lamb or chicken garnishing.

Also ask for their Caramel Custard as dessert.

Simply out of this world.

Favorite Dish: If you go to Bombay or Delhi, you have to try Butter Chicken with either a Garlic or Butter Naan. I don't know why they call it Butter Chicken because I couldn't see any butter in it- try it, though. It's very good.

There are several small eateries in Jawhar.But the main and the one catering to the incoming travellers is Hotel Rajmahal which has a small restaurant attached, and which is conveniently located very near to the state transport bus stand.
Their rooms are wide and specious and money's worth for Rs.250.00 for a standard room

Favorite Dish: At Hotel Rajmahal, you get all the Maharastrian snacks and meals.They also have a small Bar.
