I have been a regular to Samovar for the last 3 years ever since I started working in Kala Ghoda. I also used to frequent this place much earlier when I was in art school. Used to love coming here for a beer- i have always loved the vibe here.
One thing I have noticed about this place is that either people love it or hate it - theres absolutely no in between!
For that reason I have complied a list of menu items that have never disappointed me.
I have included a snippet from one of my crumbs on Blah, in response to Gaurav Jains post - "Kala Ghoda - A Foodie Walk" http://blah.burrp.com/food/gauravjain/2007/05/18/kala-ghoda-a-foodie-walk
-------------------------------------------------
I would definitely defend Samovar- its my regular lunch spot.. I don't blame the people who hate *Scumovar coz no doubt 80% of the menu is crap (*coined by my dear friend shakfoo - http://mumbai.burrp.com/establishment/view/17451749 - i love calling it Scum ever since)
I am seasoned visitor and learnt things the hard way. Here’s a list of evergreen menu items that you will never regret ordering
- Hyderabadi Kheema Lacha Paratha
- Chicken/ Egg Biryani
- Chicken Makhani with Paratha (only on Saturdays- and the best I have ever had)
- Boti Roti rolls are decent
- Sarson da Sag, Makke di Roti
And of course- a beer on a working Saturday afternoon!
------------------------------------------------
I would like to add a few others to the list
- Egg Masala ( the closest to what i get at home)
Some more for the Veggies:
- Rajma Masala
- Punjabi Dahi Caddi
If you want to order rice, order the Saffron Rice (biryani rice) its better than the regular steam rice. Don't like the rice they use for the steam rice.
