IMBISS - MEATING JOINT, MUMBAI
This place stands true and loyal to its name, it truly is a sole and sole, a meat lover's place. So its heaven if you love meat, but you cannot think of stepping if you are a vegetarian, it will prove to be a night mare otherwise. For me, well, it is Heaven. Through and through.
Even though I have been here before, well, previously I had been to the colaba joint which is a tad bit different from this one. This one has a more homely atmosphere and has less of a restaurant feel. It atleast made me feel like I am in some Goan Aunty's place. The place has that feel to it, like the backside of an old house has been converted into a makeshift restaurant and I have to say its a pretty good feeling. I mean I love Goa, and the people and their foood!! Though, the food here was not goan, just saying.
The place is pretty small and can seat around 20 people at once, but this place is in demand. The minute the restaurant opened up for dinner, within 30-45 mins the place was full. So caution, be here early or be ready to wait but I should tell you the wait will be worth it, not that I had to wait. I belong to the reach first category! :P
I don't think I have had so much different variety of meat ever at one time. We had chicken, salami, beef and even rabbit! This is the first, that I have ever had rabbit, but I should say these people make it pretty mean and good. We began with chicken wings and a chicken fillet. The wings were the best, I have had yet. The sauce was the right amount and the chicken was so soft and so succulent that it takes you to an all together another place. The chicken fillet though was house special for the day, was a little dry for my taste. It was good but nothing special or so I felt. We ordered another special as was recommended - which was the rabbit fillet cum mince. Since it was the first time, I was giving this try, I was not-so-sure and even though I don't have anything to compare it to, they were pretty yum. Atleast, in this place. Melt in the mouth again! The garlic breads served on the side were again, something I would want to go back for and even though I am not a big fan of mashed potatoes, I found myself having spoonfuls from here. After eating all this, we were almost full but still wanted to have more. Woh kehte hain na pet bhar gaya but mann nahi bhara ( Translation - the stomach's full but the heart wants more). So we ordered one last dis which was the cold meat platter which had different types of salami served up. Each distinct in taste.
I have to give a special mention to the servers here, I had a feeling like they were the ones who even owned the place with the hospitality displayed. So warm and welcoming like you are at a house party and the hosts are intend on satisfying you and feeding you more and more. So that to me is a huge plus to the place. Because anywhere else it would probably seem intrusive. I hate it even when a sales person in a departmental store comes up to me to ask me my requirement, It makes my highly uncomfortable. But here it feels warm. The small line between welcoming and intruding, they know how to keep that in check.
So all you meat lovers! This is not a place you would want to miss!
