Barahandi

Aug 28, 2007

overrated and disgusting

there should really be negative stars.

This is basically a dhaba in Nagdevi that has gotten famous for some reason for its Barahandi and Paya and Pichota Haleems et al during the month of Ramadaan.

People clamour from the far reaches of Mumbai's suburbia to
have a taste of this oh so famous plate of Barahandi. which is in essence a concoction of barley, wheat, mutton stock, a shit load of corn flour, a lot of spices, flavourings, and lamb parts.

They put out cots and tables for the customers to sit on plastic chairs at the most, right next to an overflowing gutter, and a shallow plate of this overhyped soup costs a whopping 45 rupees, portions of which are not even enough for a child.

Now i have reviewed some seedy joints previously, the thing is for me the food is all that matters. Here however, its is just a concocted cornflour soup with so much garam masala that your mouth will not be able to distinguish any tastes henceforth. It was truly a jehadi assault on my delicate palate.
