This is a long thread on the #restaurants I have eaten in 2023. This covers #Mumbai, #Delhi and #Pune.

Hotel Gomantak Yashwantashram:

No frills joint located bang outside the Grant Road (West) railway station. Good place for coastal food

Moti Mahal Restaurant, Dariyaganj, New Delhi

The place where butter chicken is said to have originated. The butter chicken you get here is different from the 'tandoori chicken shreds served in oily gravy' stuff that is served elsewhere. Try the brain curry and kababs too...

Must visit

After eating at Moti Mahal, top it up with desserts from Cool Point Shahi Tukda across the road. Try the shahi tukda and kheer

#NewDelhi #OleDelhi #Delhi #Food #desserts

And then, end with paan at the shop next-door...

#Delhi #NewDelhi #OldDelhi #Food #DelhiFood #eatingout

Firoz Farsan Mart, Husainiya Marg, Bhendi Bazaar, Mumbai serves a unique biryani--one that is made with alu Vadi aka Patra (colocasia rolls). Must visit restaurant.

Then, pot ice cream at Taj Ice Cream at Bohri Mohalla, Bhendi Bazaar, next door. They have been around since 1887!

Anand Restaurant, Connaught Place, New Delhi. Visited for their dhaba style food, but ended up being disappointed due to lack of hygiene and taste.
