My God I can't believe I am in Kashmir just in an hour. Have been hearing about this place from my dad & his friends. Got phone no from your site and spoke to Om Takoo owner of this beautiful place. Worried about the traffic jams me & friends decided to go. Luckily there were no traffic jams as such but slow traffic till Malad.As soon as we entered all worries gone. The place has so mush positive energy. There were Fountains,beautiful shikaras. a houseboat with two bedrooms, lush green garden, their restaurant with flowing colored curtains, seating in baithak type where you can sit Indian style and enjoy your dinner. Saw some people almost lying down and eating as there is ample space in this baithaks. We had heard & read about Kashmiri Food that we wanted to have only Kashmiri Food though they serve Indian food as well.
Asked the waiter if we could talk to Om Takoo before ordering our food. Om Takoo- tall, handsome, good looking Kashmiri himself. Listening to him about kashmiri food is a treat in itself. The kind of knowledge he has he should start classes on Kashmiri Food. Since my dad who himself is a hotelier had spoken about Om Takoo that how he started first Kashmiri cuisine restaurant in Andheri West near Lokhandwala, I had some knowledge about his background.
We left it to him to order on our behalf.
Started the meal with Sheen Quahwa ( Kashmiri Tea). Traditionally this tea is made hot but Om Takoo has made Sheen means cold Quahwa for Mumbai. There was DJ Music as well.
Followed starters-Chichen kanti, seekh kebab, kagargagh (mutton ribs marinated), Nadir palak Tikki. All very very tasty. In main course we had Dum Allo- never seen Dum aloo like this in any restaurant-aloo as red inside as outside. Rajmah-never had this taste before. Roganjosh -mutton dish but just delicious- mutton just melts in mouth like malai. Learnt it takes atleast 3 hours to cook that Roganjosh. Kokur Yakhnee- Chicken cooked in yoghart garvy as two of our friends just can not have spicy food. Whenever we visited other restaurant we always had difficulty feeding these two not eating spicy food. But here Om Takoo had so many dishes for them. And then Phirni arrived in small clay pots. Our stomachs said NO MORE FOOD but EYES said EAT.
Oh then this Pan- enjoyed that too.
Had a round of the Resort- shikaras, houseboat and rooms as well. Thanked Om Takoo for making this beautiful Kashmir in Mumbai with such tasty food. Booked a Party for My parents wedding anniversary on 27th of April.
A MUST VISIT FOR ALL MUMBAIKARS.
