Time Machine would be apt name, no physical but emotional transition to
different phase is definite. One is pushed from Tupperware age to 1970s when
our elders used to carry steel lunch boxes to work. History, legacy and class come
dancing from all corners of the place. Glass jars, wooden dressing table,
mirrors, paintings and other articles reminds me of my childhood home.
Steel lunch boxes pack elements of surprise, curiosity, poorani yaadein and also food. The serving in not so shiny, scratchy aluminium plates reminds of grandma kitchen. Steel lunch boxes not only add the element of legacy also saves the restaurant from spending lot on costly crockery. Also food need not be decorated in dish and just a bit of garnishing with coriander does the job well. The restaurant is the perfect example of simple is also beautiful.
Eating here is not to satisfy only belly but an experience to live.
Soft old Hindi music being played in background, age old culinary, taste so simple and authentic, free candies, sugar staff can best be enjoyed when felt. The place is a 50-50 blend of modern restaurant and Irani eatery. The staff is very humble and sweet. They guide you well through the menu and very lovely chaps.
The menu has lot to offer in food and as well a challenge. Khade chammach ki chai is free if you are able to drink it. Not describing more about it as element of surprise should be present on your visit.
Food Tasted
Chicken berry pulao: Beauty in rags. Beautifully garnished with dry fruits, herbs and loaded with succulent chicken and mildly spiced rice in a scratchy aluminium bowl. The bowl reminds of a beggar in school drama. But the pulao takes one to the flavourful dramatic journey.
Vadapav: The typical garlic and asafoetida flavour with semi-cooked not so spicy green chilly reminds of Mumbai Street side shops, where I tasted my first one.
Dhansak non-veg: Served in 3 box tiffin with mutton gravy, chopped salad and spiced rice. This dish was not able to collect the votes, lack of flavors, no USP… L.
Veg patio Aloo Aunty's cutlet: Amazing with chutney and Pav. After ages tasted such finger licking chutney, that lovably integrated with any dish.
Cold coffee: A blend of chocolate taste and has a lasting impression that heart wants it to go on and on.
Raspberry soda: A tingling sweet
refreshing taste is a good choice for summers and also very appetizing.
Sekanje Bin: Hindi proverb "chala murari hero bun-ney" well describes it. A very original common household shikanji with mint and plum. All appreciation for murari, it is refreshing and soothing.
Let's talk money, 700-1000 bucks to be shelled out per head. Most damaging is the taxation part. In a bill of around 3400, for 5, the taxed amount was close to 800. Too much... L
Why not to go? You want to have a feel of eating out and having next few hours full of food tasting burps. Want to dine out in formal setting? Looking out for something less pricey? Obviously paying 70 INR for a Vada Pav and that too without taxes is on a bit higher side.
Why to go? Simple home-made parsi food, Iranian bakery experience, traverse to old time. Want to explore something exclusive.
Ok all talking done so where it is? Explored the one at Cyber Hub-Gurgaon. They are more outlets at Khan Market- Delhi, DLF Mall of India-Sector 18-Noida. Do explore and share your feel
Happy Eating… J
