Eeek!

Once upon a time, I entered what was hailed as the Mecca for South Indian food in Matunga. I stepped into the hallowed cave, to be welcomed by the smiling cave-keeper. He ushered us into snug sitting areas, where one could comfortably rub shoulders with one's companion and not be vilified for PDA.
The food arrived soon, steaming and aromatic.
Said my companion - One must be fair,
Tis yummy, this fare!
Said I - Veggies succulent with spice,
And the fluffiest, whitest rice,
His recipes must I poach,
Especially the sambhar with the ROACH!?
I squealed as I saw the creature, long since dead (the sambhar was too hot to survive through) The cave-keeper walked up.
Said he - Tis indeed very unfortunate
That used to be my favorite pet!
Well, he didn't say that, of course. (I just put it in coz it rhymed) But we returned, no refund, not even an apology (unless a regretful head-shake counts). It's not so much the food but the chap's arrogance that has put me off going back there. I'd recommend Mani's Lunch Home as a pretty good alternative, though!
