I've never had breakfast there, but the Bijapuri dinners are excellent. I think there's a lot of Hyderabadi influence in Bijapuri food.Avinashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521699080455382806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1128404504387838372005-10-04T11:11:00.000+05:302005-10-04T11:11:00.000+05:30Rajeev, not sure if you're going to a specific par...Rajeev, not sure if you're going to a specific part of India or if this is just out of curiosity, but since I'm familiar with places in Kolkata, I'll throw in my two bits.<BR/><BR/>If at all you are in Kolkata, do try Charnock City - they serve very good Bengali food. I used to be a vegetarian in my Kolkata days, so I can tell you the traditional vegetarian dishes are fabulous - Mochar Ghonto and Enchor (jackfruit) Kalia, for example. And my friends always rated traditional Bengali fish preparations highly.<BR/>- NKQueasy Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292745300990615404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1128397287706505502005-10-04T09:11:00.000+05:302005-10-04T09:11:00.000+05:30Hey Guys, Rajeev may not even be going to Bombay ...Hey Guys,<BR/> Rajeev may not even be going to Bombay or elsewhere in Maharashtra.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1128394400104719562005-10-04T08:23:00.000+05:302005-10-04T08:23:00.000+05:30AvinashAre you referring to Kamat Yatri Niwas.

Remember to pick up the potato wafers.It is simply awesome.(At least until 3 years back. Have not tried it for the last 3 years)<BR/>For Pav Bhaji, there is one at Worli- cannot recall the name. Could somebody help?<BR/>Cannon at VT used to be good, but have not been there for some time.<BR/>I could give some information on suburban restaurants later.<BR/>Samosas- Guru KripaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1128374274131858272005-10-04T02:47:00.000+05:302005-10-04T02:47:00.000+05:30Since i am from Maharashtra i can suggest you a fe...Since i am from Maharashtra i can suggest you a few from this region. If you are in Bombay and love sea food, Mahesh Lunch Home is a must visit. Do not go my the name. It is as plush as it gets. And apparently the food is grand. Since i am a veggie myself this recommendation comes from my wife who enjoys fish and prawns.<BR/><BR/>If you like spicey food and find yourself in Pune, do not forget to visit "Mathura" restaurant on Deccan Gymkhana. Thats the best maharshtrian food i ever had.<BR/><BR/>If you go further north in Nagpur, there's a chain of shady joints called "Savji". The food is so hot (or spicy) that you might need an additional kerchief for self-defense :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1128354203426170022005-10-03T21:13:00.000+05:302005-10-03T21:13:00.000+05:30Try Hyd Mahal on Brigade Road in Bangalore.

It may not be as nice as the one in Delhi that you describe in terms of decor, but the food certainly is excellent.<BR/><BR/>Another cuisine to try in Karnataka is the Bijapuri cuisine. Some of the restaurants in the Kamat chain in Karanataka serve Bijapuri meals. I can't remember the name of this restaurant, but it's located not very far from the bus stand in Bangalore. It's a Kamat of some sort, but serves Bijapuri meals only. Again, not the best place in terms of decor, but the food makes up for the lack of decor and style.Avinashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04521699080455382806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813749.post-1128353947911288022005-10-03T21:09:00.000+05:302005-10-03T21:09:00.000+05:30Rajeev: If you love seafood, try out seafood cooke...Rajeev: If you love seafood, try out seafood cooked Goan or Konkan style. It's awesome (at least IMHO); in Mumabi you can try out Gajali at Ville Parle or Saiba at Bandra or Gomantak in Borivili. <BR/><BR/>Midday (mid-afternoon Mumbai daily) periodically publishes a list of top restaurants in Mumbai with one chef's choice recepie. Not sure if they have this online.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
