"Shalimar" at Abdul Rehman Street(Bhendi Bazaar). Nice clean & authentic food. There are about 2/3 price tiers depending on the section you enter. It's value for money.
The Mumtaz Kabab is absolutely amazing, so are the Raan items. Quantity wise great too. The menu is big & interesting. Since its exposure on TV channels its become quiet a Cosmopolitan joint.
It is also known for its Faloodas(lot of variety), but I still prefer the Royal Falooda at Badshah's, Crawford Market.

SIAM at Malad Link Road
SIAM at Malad Link Road, above Croma Electronic shop.
SIAM is near Lemon Grass on the first floor, on right as your go upstairs from the escalator.


It is a Chinese restaurant, alcohol served too. They have this weird name prawns I tried,
'CHA CHU PRAWNS'

A very hot serving of prawns. I cannot exactly re-collect the ingredient but it is coated with some special masala, which when I asked they were reluctant to talk about. This is served with grated green chilli, garlic and onion.


Panner Barbecue at Silver Coin restaurant at IC Colony or try garlic fried Mushroom at Myst, Andheri link road.


Malad :
Shambhu bhelpuri and also Gupta bhelpuri

there is one dosa and parathe wala, you will be amazed of the variety he has in dosa...it is opposite to shopper's stop S.V. road (on weekends, this small road gets overcrowded)

MM ki lassi - i used to like it earlier bt nw i m concious...


Goregaon - I think Surbhi is famous, near station bt I dint like it

Powai - good for nothing...
I go to powai vihar, there is one chatwala with a good looking cart
Hiranandani - used to go there for franky and my fav cheese popcorn

Matunga - Near Ruia college - ok ok franky and there is a gulshan cafe (i doubt about the name, but its good)

Colaba - some irani hotel ...it has hummus roll....yummm

bandra - elco market - ragda pattice and watermelon juice (my dinner when i go there for shopping)

Sion - Chole samosa in Guru kripa, we call it GK...our canteen

last but nt least - tripple schezwan in our college canteen (SIES)

even Ruia, Raheja canteen has good food...


Sion's Gurukripa is good..

Gupta bhelwala, there is one at Mahavir Nagar, Kandivali west;

Places To Try:
1. Regency In Andheri
2. Urban Tadka...(They Have Some Fish Appetizer...Cant Recollect Name...But Simply AWESOME)
3. Vivek Vadapav In Raheja Township, Malad (E), Opposite Panchsheel Building...He Puts Kopre Ka Chutney Instead Of The Tamarind And Chili+Coriander Chutney That Other Vadapav Walas Put...It Is Definately Worth A Try...Some People Dont Like It...I Do...And In The Evening There Is A Huge Line...
4. Vadapav & Dosa Outside Mithibai College...My Lunch For A Year...

Vivek Vadapav In Raheja Township, Malad (E), Opposite Panchsheel Building...He Puts Kopre Ka Chutney Instead Of The Tamarind And Chili+Coriander Chutney That Other Vadapav Walas Put...It Is Definately Worth A Try.

He Has About 40 Diff Types Of Dosas...

The Guy Opposite Mithibai Also Has Many Varieties, But This One Is Better...

Also, Try The Dosa At Vivek Vadapav(Mentioned Above)...That Guy Has Some Skill Making Dosas....My Friends Used To Come From Andheri To Have Dosa And Vadapav There...

here Is This Guy Who Sells Vadapav Just Outside Dadar Stn (West Side)...His Stall Is Near The Jumbo Vadapav Stall...His Stall Is Against The Wall Of The Platform...

His Father Is Credited To Create The Vadapav...During Early Morning Rush Hours He Used To Sell Vadas...Since The Vadas Were Hot, People Had To Wait Before Eating Them...So He Started Putting Chutney In Pavs And Put Hot Vadas In Them...So That People Could Hold It, Walk, And Eat It On Their Way To Office...Without Burning Their Tongues...

And Thus Was Born Vada Pav...

Try The Vadapav There...Its Worth It...The Taste Is Great And You Feel As If You A Biting Into A Piece Of History
