They say,
you haven’t seen Mumbai if you haven’t been to Sardar Pav Bhaji. So, I
decided that I had to go. I entered the restaurant with 4 of my friends on a
rainy day. What struck me was the simple setup. Nothing fancy, just like a
roadside veg restaurant with No AC :-P.
We ordered
for the Pav Bhaji with lots of pavs. The waiter gave us some roasted papad to
chew on until he got our orders. I must say I didn’t expect 5 star service but
it did take a long time for our Pav Bhajo to arrive (almost 30 mins). Mind you the restaurant was only half full.
We had to remind the waiter atleast three times about our order. Surely he
seemed more interested in the weather
outside that in our order.
When the Bhaji arrived I expected it to be piping hot but
it was luke warm (WTF!!! What was he doing all this time). The thing that stood
out was the butter. A big blob of butter was dropped over the Bhaji, which was
really an awesome sight. The Bhaji was OK, nothing I haven’t tasted before (So
much for the hype). The butter was what gave the taste. The pavs were also
soaked it butter, which was really tasty but not suitable for the calorie
conscious. Overall strictly Ok food
I must say that the rates at Sardar Pav Bhaji are really
reasonable. The five of us devoured 5 pav Bhajis with 10-12 additional pavs +
Soft drinks + lots of left overs. The bill came up to 680 which was really
neat. Will recommend this place only for a one time visit.
