Bombay Chowpatty has been in town for a while. We heard a lot about it's amazingness but never had a chance to visit until recently when it opened a new branch in Z block DHA. We were quite prepared for the food to blow our minds, little did we know that it would literally do so. Yes, it was that spicy!
We were four people and we ordered one dish each. Firstly our order took a while to arrive. Secondly, despite having mentioned that we want the order to be brought all at once, the server kept bringing it one by one. The last dish was so late to arrive that half of us were already finished.However the manager was quite humble when we complained about this and promised to cater to this problem in future.
We ordered the following items
All of them looked extremely appetizing presentation wise. We couldn't wait to dig in. But upon tasting, not only everything was extremely spicy, it lacked any kind of flavor. Indian food generally is supposed to be spicy, but i am pretty sure one can sense the flavor within that spiciness. It needs to have that balance. Still apart from masala dosa, the rest were not too bad. Papri chat and bihari wrap was actually good and had a blend of flavors. But if we can get a better papri chat from a thelay wala or a wrap equally good from a place called "waqai bara shawarma" why would we want to visit someplace fancy? we were really looking forward to the Indian delicacies, but sorry to say they were a disappointment.
Price wise, the place was quite reasonable.
Will we ever visit it again? Probably yes if we want that chat or pani puri just because everywhere else in the city is getting sealed up due to unhygienic conditions.
Our rating: 4/10
Looking forward to more foodies reviews, too bad they won't be much use to us, but maybe next time when we visit inshAllah, we can use your list :) talking of indian delicacies try khamun dhokla if you haven't .... truly divine !
