Rathika (Radz@VT) & me at the VT mini-meeting!!!

This is a vegetarian Thali restaurant but we went for the evening High Tea which is from 3pm to 7pm and it serves a fixed price menu for a choice of three snacks from the menu plus the tea or coffee for Rs75 or individual items priced at about Rs20 - Rs25 each and the drinks (Tea, coffee or cold drinks) are extra!!! Nice atmosphere!!! Very good food!!! Also very famous for it's vegetarian 'Thali' buffet lunch and dinner!!! Try it out for a change!!! You will love it!!!

Pancham Puriwala: 150 Years of Puri Bhaji

Store Front

The puris are large, and a little thickish, made by practised hands, which must be making a few hundred (thousand?) puris a day, fried in Godrej ghee.
They have a pleasant fresh taste about them, and are slightly saltish. They always come straight from the frying pan, and they are always hot. Be careful.
They give you five puris per order, more than enough for a person like me, though not perhaps for a large bhaiya chowkidar from U.P. With it is the bhaji, in a katori, it is liquid, not the Gujarati sukki bhaji. It is almost watery, but with adequate taste and strength, always made with potato and bhopla (pumpkin). The puris and the bhaji come in a small round tray. You break the puri, dip in the bhaji gravy, and eat it. And you pay Rs.10 at the counter. Lunch over.
Hundreds upon hundreds of people have their lunch and dinner at Pancham Puriwala every day, and also their in-between meals, always puri bhaji. There is an achar that goes with it, a chilli and lime pickle placed in a large bowl in the centre of the table. You help yourself to it.

Favorite Dish: Pancham Puriwala is located at the entrance to Bazargate, the VT end of it, opposite the Bhatia Baug. The lane is also known as Parsi Bazar Street. It is an interesting lane, a part of old-old Bombay. The next time you eat at Pancham Puriwala, walk down the street to Pherozeshah Mehta Road.

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.

Shiv Sagar: Bombay Diner

A perennial Favorite. This is Bombay's best Udipi Fast Food Diner chain. The service is decent, the food is consistently good and the pices though slightly on the higher end are not completely unreasonable.

Favorite Dish: Must try their Fresh Fruit Juices and Seasonal Fruit Deserts.

reasonable charges and no fuss

Favorite Dish: The gujrati thali. this is an indian meal, comprising of starters (samosas, dhokla and the like), soup, chapatis or rotis (indian bread), rice, dal (lentil curry), 4-5 vegetable curries, yoghurt and buttermilk. all the items are unlimited and extremely tasty. one of the best meals you can enjoy in the city. warning!! one feels extremely contented with life after a meal here. the place is packed for lunch on weekdays as the office goers in the city throng there for lunch
