HOWRA, Worli
Have you watched the movie called, "Ek Chaalis ki Last Local" starring Abhay Deol. Do you remember the dialogue from it, "Woh kehte hain na jo hota hai acche ke liye hota hai, sahi kehte hain" Well, the dialogue was fairly famous even before the movie's release, passed down from generations. The dialogue delivery and the context in this movie, had given it much more leverage and you could hear every one around trying to imitate it. Why am I making reference to this dialogue? I would like to change it just slightly - "Woh kehte hain na, kuch bhi deep fry kar lo, accha hi lagta hai, sahi kehte hain". Actually, sirf accha nahi lagta hai, bahut accha lagta hai, bahut bahut accha lagta hai." Still don't get it? Read on!
This was a place that has been on my list for a long time, for their epic burgers, at least it claims so and vouched by the many reviewers. Always in the look out for burger places, I couldn't help but visit this place. The only problem being, the location which is in Breach Candy and this is one area I have never really set foot in as it is far-far from where I stay, even if I hire a cab. I should give a special mention to my friends who have their vehicles and handle my tantrum by driving me to such places, I shall always be obliged to you even though I don't say it. :D
The place reminded me of a barn in a certain way, and looks interesting. But there was one small disappointment, that the place has 3-4 outlets jammed in together with a common seating area giving it the feel of a mini-food court. I had expected it to be a place dedicated only to burgers. My friend, seeing the other options went you have the burger, I will try some thing else, which left me in a dilemma. It defeats the purpose. After all, how do you expect me to judge a place by just trying out 1 little burger. So after much cajoling, I convinced him to have the burger (I do get my way :P)
So from their wide range of burgers, we ordered for the Sheesh Taouk and Surf-N-Turf. I know, I know we should have ordered their legendary Burgers under the Titan Selection, but it was something I knew that at least on this day, I will not be able to finish, as I had had a heavy lunch, even though I knew better. Where as I had opted for the cheesy fries, my friend went for the regular. This might have been the first time in history, that I have to say, I wish I had gone without the cheese. I liked them, but some where I felt the flavors of cheese has over taken the fries, and I couldn't enjoy the fries completely. I could cheese on its own, but if I am ordering fries, the fries should also have a distinct taste, which was lost here. For the burgers, I did enjoy the burgers, but not as much as I had hoped. This could be owing to the fact that I had had a heavy lunch or it could be because there is this small place called Between Breads in Bandra which has left such a lasting impression on me that I by default make comparison. (Check out the review in this same album!). What I have said is true more for the Sheesh Taouk than the surf-n-turf. The surf n turn consisting of a lamb and fish patty, were almost on point and didn't disappoint. (Maybe I had just opted wrong?!). We had also ordered for a BBQ Chicken Craver, which is a small sandwich consisting of well BBQ Chicken, here I think I felt satisfied the most, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that this is only for Rs 80!! So a quick fix and great on the taste buds (I believe how you price your items also has a role to play when some one orders from your place, because the expectations change with it).
I still haven't made reference to the small dialogue that I had mentioned in the beginning of this post. You know what had really pulled me to this place?? Like really really? Oreos. Deep Fried Oreos. I am obsessed with Oreos. So Imagine when I read Deep Fried Oreos. Do you see the big heaves coming from my chest, I need deep fried oreos! I need deep fried Oreos. DEEP FRICKIN' FRIED OREOS!! And what had I said before? "Anything deep fried is by the rule, always good". So Imagine, when you are presented with Oreos, the deep fried way??!! Beyond Bliss. I almost, or maybe actually did forget cheese-cake for a minute. I never forget cheese-cake, never. like literally NEVER. Have I made that clear enough??!! I guess, I have. :P
The point is they have a wide range of burgers, all you need to do is choose well. If you happen to have an appetite, go for their Titans. But by default, without putting any thought to it, order the deep fried oreos and come back and tell me Thank You and to express your gratitude, send some my way! :P
