Miami


I happen to go along with my close friend on a Thursday evening for Pulling Sheesha and a thought to eat some scrumptious vegetarian food.

How to reach here: From Marine Lines Station while taking a turn towards the iconic Sassanian boulangerie. There u see a bright lit big Board of Miami Multi- Cuisine restaurant. We got a warm welcome by Mr. Abdulla Farooqui who and Mr. Mayur Jain who are the owners of Miami. It’s a huge space of approximately 6000 sq ft. In SoBo it’s a little difficult to find spacious ones like this. The outside décor din’t look too appealing to be but loved the wall art.
Seating: There are 3 eating sections and 2 Sheesha sections. It’s a good space to have a private party in of the section as it has so many sections. Eating sections are White walls well illuminated with approximately sofa and chair seating of 60-70 people at a go. It can take a good no of foodies in. 

Mehfil-E-Miami I call it right… so first we decided to pull some Sheesha. I really loved the interiors of this lounge. Caliginous ambience, funky wall art, neon sofa covers and pillows. They have music video with some romantic Bollywood numbers played. If you are a Bollywood bugger you sure are going to love it. The waiters were very hospitable, attentive and have smiling faces which one wants to see.

Sheesha: I tried 3 flavours that’s Miami special, Pan Salsa, Teen Pan. The cost of Sheesha is ranging from Rs. 700-Rs. 900. Sheesha was very smooth with some extra (hhhhhhh).

Food: Was really unable to decide for the first 5 mins what to order as everything looked tempting to eat. We finally decided to eat nachos and pizza with spicy guava mocktail. 
Nachos with cheese: The tortillas were thinner and crispier than anywhere I have ever had. This is their house speciality. They top cheese over the tortillas and also serve extra cheese separately in a small bowl along with salsa. Good news for the cheese lovers. The salsa was really fresh and tasty.
Miami Special Pizza: The pizza was baked to perfection and it was a perfect thin crust. This thin crust was stuffed with layer of cheese which oozes out upon eating it. OMG!!! All the vegetables used as toppings were equally fresh and perfectly baked. Crunchy but not burned is what I like. The toppings were bell peppers, olives, onions and herbs. May be I wanted some more tanginess and hotness to it so I added a little tabasco.
Spicy Guava: This can’t go wrong. I liked the salty rim and the freshness of the guava.

Experience: Overall it was a good experience.  But I would want to visit again to try other dishes too as for me 2 dishes aren’t enough to decide.

Will Return ? : Would recommend all my friends and would love to visit again.

The Legacy of Traditional Food and Family Recipes

Walking down the lane of Zaveri Bazaar you will see many Bhagat Tarachands with a K or R or G but I chose to visit B Bhagat Tarachand (BBT). Started almost 40 years back by Shri Tarachand Chawla from Karachi, Pakistan who had moved to India after the partition. He started his business from a refugee camp where he cooked sabzi and roti. He directly served the sabzi over the roti on streets and where political rallies were held. Devki (by his wife's name) was the first restaurant in this lane where Shri Tarachand distributed food to the traders on credit (chopdi system) who were his regular customers and couldn't pay immediately. He was so generous that even if people did not have money he happily served them food. He wanted people to not starve and have fresh home style food so to give him honour people started calling him "Bhagat" A Lane of Zaveri Bazaar Ambience and Staff: B Bhagat Tarachand which opened with only a ground floor in the New Year

Phulrani - The Joy Ride

‘Mathe’  means ‘top’ and ‘raan’ means ‘forest’. Thus the name ‘Matheran’ means ‘forest on top’ which is 2,500 feet above the sea.  I have been here a number of times in childhood, not in monsoons though but each time I visit it makes me fall in love with the place. It's another getaway destination for Mumbaikars just 110 kms away and so we decide to do this in monsoons. Somewhere in the midst of my walk One of the reasons may be is that it's an eco-sensitive region and one of those rare places in India where vehicles are not allowed. We cannot imagine life without vehicles today. You need to park your car at Dasturi Naka. We wanted an economic trip so we chose the train-ride from CST to Neral. Better to get done with your nature calls at the station toilet itself as you will not find any on your way for the next 1.5 hours. From Neral Railway station we get share cabs for Rs. 80 per seat and if you book the entire cab you pay Rs. 40 Phulrani - The Joy Ride  You p
