Preparation still rocks!
Dad arrived in India early morning yesterday. And getting your Dad's appreciation on your culinary skills beats all else!! So, to ensure I had time to spread out a perfect 4 course meal I planned to cook for dinner and take Dad out for lunch.
Now, Mangies (especially, ones like my Dad) are quite particular about what they eat and how it's prepared. My safest bet?? -- but naturally Mahesh!! Best of all, they're now in Thane too & just a few minute's away!
We got there around 2.40pm. It was a Sunday. The restaurant, that's spread over 3,000 sq. feet, had only 3 tables empty and the aroma was pleasant (Not the typical stuffy, foody, drinky, smoky atmosphere of a typical Shetty restaurant).
We were immediately escorted to a table for 3 (my uncle, who was visiting joined us too). We ordered for 2 Chicken Appams, Squid Gassi & 2 vodkas. We had a pleasant 10 minute wait before our meal arrived and were served quite etiquettely by our friendly waiter. The meal was more that sufficient for the 3 of us. (1 plate of Chicken Appam = bowl of Chicken stew + 2 thick 8" appams). The chicken stew was delicious and so was the Gassi, however, the squid was not fresh. It was rubbery and quite obiously stale. I should have just stuck to more frequently ordered sea-food....
My biggest complain is the steward that attended our table (wish I'd have caught his name). The guy who took our order was an over-smart chap (or at least that's what he thought). He treated us like we were eating out in a restaurant for the very first time and even stopped me while explaining my order to him twice interrupting with a "You just listen to me..." My Dad almost lost his cool... and fortunately for the steward, it was me footing the bill. However, I can't blame MLH for his attitude problem and simply hope they realize this and replace him soon. The other staff were pleasantly friendly and helpful.
The bill amounted to Rs. 661 (taxes included) and we walked out comfortably filled and satisfied.
