Mumbai Local - Blog



Been Here with my foodie friends on 1st of April on lunch time to try some of their Raapchik dishes.

It was located in 19 Ballygunge park road in between Quest mall and Birla Mandir easily findable in Maps.

 A happy place with quirky elements and interesting accessories adorning the décor. The ground level has alfresco style dining but with a transparent shed and air-conditioning. There are paintings of people boarding a local train on one side and posters of popular Bollywood characters on the other. The old style lanterns and train grab bars are hard to miss. On level one, there is seating for 30 plus diners with leather sofas, wooden tables and chairs.There’s a huge mural of Mumbai city on one wall. Framed print adsfrom the 70s and 80s adorn another wall evoking a sense of nostaligiaon.. All in all, the ambience manages to pull off the theme very well, bringing out the charm of the city of dreams, with simplicity. Full Marks to the presentation it was tremendously fantastic. Service and hospitality was very appreciable and heart touching.

So now let's see what we tried that day starting with the mocktail we had from the Nava Menu -

 * Queens Necklace - Very delicious and very refreshing mocktail made with watermelon and basil. a perfect summer cooler for this summer. Tastes delicious and served beautifully.



 In snacks we tried something's delicious and something's innovative reviewed below -

 * Dhobi Ghaat Chana Bhatura - Beautifully presented mini bhatura's hanging with clips in plastic grass base served with dry masala Chana which tastes traditionally delicious and with spicy chickpea curry. Loved the taste and loved the presentation. Highly recommended.



 * Mamaji's Grilled Sandwis - Straight from the street of Mumbai, Sandwich of vegetables, cheese and coriander chatni Grilled till crisp tastes truly desi and very delicious served with street style potato chips and tomato ketchup.



 * Truffle Cheese - Here comes the shows topper dish. South Indian Dosa with amazingly delicious fusion touch. Dosa smeared with truffle oil, cheese and button mushrooms tastes heavenly. Served with a mushroom truffle cheesy sauce. Heavenly tasted Dosa a personal favorite highly recommended.



 * Rustam's Favorite Dhansak - From the house of Mumbai Dabbawala's this Rustam's Favorite Dhansak made with vegetables and lentils in thick gravy form cooked with generous pinch of parsi masala tastes delicious and comes the very tasty fried okras and caramelized onions fried rice in a dabba. Tasty meal loved it.



 * One Two Ka Four Platter - Kababs platter in which we get vegetables Kababs, paneer Kababs, mushrooms Kababs, Grilled potatoes and some Grilled veggies. Extremely flavorful with great essence and taste. Veggies kabab was perfectly made mild and delicious, Grilled potatoes were crispy and smoky, mushrooms were juicy, creamy and delicious, paneer has smoky feel and they tastes delicious. Served with coriander chatni and spicy chickpea.



 * Berry Nu Pulao - Semi Sweet caramelized onions fried rice topper with dried berries tastes amazingly delicious. A must try dish. Just a suggestion to management to serve something like curd etc with it so it's more easy to have. But it still tastes truly delicious.



 * Strawberry Bathtub - The most ravishingly presented and heavenly tasted dessert I've ever had. Ice cream served in Bathtub with strawberry gel in tubes in nitrogen gas filled fishbowl. Deliciously tasted dessert made with vanilla ice cream covered on strawberries, strawberry gel and some nuts with a base of butter cookies crumbs. Highly recommended recommended.



 At last they serve us complimentary popsicles in thella gadi toy which were full of flavor and they tastes amazingly delicious. Loved them comes in Mojito, lychi, mango and strawberry etc flavors.

 

That's all with my experience. Before rapt up like to thank management and staff specially Md. Iqbal for this wonderful experience. A must try place. Personal favorite highly recommended to all.
