It was late evening and I had gone to my friend’s office for some project which we were working on together. As usual, I was quite hungry and asked her if there was a good restaurant around to deliver. She said there is something opened across her office lane call YUM HAIN HUM and we laughed. I went through the delivery menu and start mouth-watering as usual looking at the options. I think when we are hungry we get greedy to try everything. We were 5 of us and my friend left upto me to decide the order which I am always up for and ended up ordering a lot of things. Food: I ordered a mix of Chinese and North Indian, as it was a rainy day piping hot food is heaven in your hands. The food ordered was delivered in approximately 30 minutes.  You must not miss having the stuffed mushrooms here as it's a real treat for vegetarians. Cottage cheese stuffed mushrooms with mozzarella garnished over the top. Soft morsels which melt in your mouth. I was going crazy about this...

‘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  ...
