Mama Kane Dadar | Over 100 years of Maharashtrian snacks

August 17, 2019

Mama Kane in Dadar is an institution, when it comes to Maharashtrian food.

It’s been over a century since Mama Kane has been serving delicious snacks. So I went ahead and filmed all of it for you.

I think Mama Kane serves some of the best Maharashtrian snacks you can find in Mumbai. I highly recommend trying out their Batata Wada, Kothimbir Wadi, Misal and Puri Bhaji, to name a few. They even have a complete Maharashtrian thali which consists of varan bhaat, aloo sabji and chapati, among other things. The place is simple, no frills, no non-sense and no gimmicks for sure!

Since it is in Dadar, which is one of the busiest areas in Mumbai, Mama Kane does get quite crowded. And let me tell you that in case you have to wait your turn for a table, it will be absolutely worth it! Definitely head to Mama Kane and indulge in their mouth watering dishes. And do let me know about your experience in the comments.

Apart from Mama Kane, the Dadar – Shivaji Park area in Mumbai has a bunch of restaurants dishing out Maharashtrian cuisine. Check out this video to know more.

And here is an exclusive video about Aaswad, another restaurant in Dadar known for it’s authentic Maharashtrian food. I personally love the Thalipeeth here. Watch this video to know more.

Apart from Mumbai, Pune also boasts of a lot of delicious Maharashtrian food. Read about it here.

Enjoy a glass of fresh juice at these places in Mumbai

Healthy Street Food

January 24, 2019

Winter or summer, a glass of fresh juice is always welcome in Mumbai.

So in this video I compiled some of my regular spots for grabbing some fresh juice in the city. Watch now!

Haji Ali Juice Center

While they are known for their juices, there is definitely a lot more that you can try here. It’s quite a popular late night hangout where you can grab a nice grilled sandwich, some fresh fruit and cream and lots more. But I would definitely recommend trying their fresh watermelon juice – its basic but perfect!

Bachelorr’s

I remember this from my college days. The place that made me fall in love with fresh strawberries and cream. I do feel that they have become a bit expensive now but I still like the place for all the nostalgia. You could try their juices, ice creams, shakes and even snacks.

Sukh Sagar

Sukh sagar juice is almost like a must do in South Mumbai. They serve up some crazy combinations and I recommend trying out their Fruit Cocktails – its got black grapes, pineapple, apple and pomegranate. It is filling so you could skip a meal! Also don’t forget to walk down towards their fast food restaurant just a couple seconds ahead of the juice shop and try their idli.

Amar Juice Center

This place is known for it’s pav bhaji and nothing like a good Orange and Sweetlime juice to tone down that spicy after taste. It’s open all day but more of a late night hangout. If you come here on weekends then you will definitely be waiting for a long time before you can grab a bite.

Sahu Gupta Sugarcane Juice

Located in Colaba, right next to Pizza Express this is the best Sugarcane juice ever! You have to have a glass to know what I mean. Personally I find sugarcane juice really refreshing and is an absolutely value for money.

JOOST Juice Bar

If you want a place which is high on hygiene then try any outlet of JOOST juice bars. They serve up some healthy mixes and even regular fruit juices. Most of them are squeezed right in front of you and you can be rest assured of their quality.

Here are a few more places that you should visit when in Mumbai

Street Food

March 12, 2017

This one’s from my visit to Rajendra Fast Food Borivali.

Rajendra Fast Food Borivali is a really famous, landmark level place to grab some reasonable yet delicious food. Their dosa, Chinese, Sandwich is pretty famous. Here’s a video from a trip that I made to Rajendra Fast Food!

I hope you enjoyed watching this little snippet from my visit to Rajendra Fast Food.

I ordered only 1 item here – the Mysore Masala Dosa. You saw that being made, right from scratch in the video. They used a ton of beetroot to make it and honestly it turned out pretty good. I wouldn’t call it my most favorite mysore masala, but it was decent.

You get a variety of Chindian food here as well – everything ranging from schezwan rice, to hakka noodles to manchurian. And you will see the guy toss it all up right in front of you. I find it really fascinating to this watch stuff getting made.

You also have various chaat items here – ranging from Pani Puri to Bhelpuri.

And you also can get Dabeli here. I didn’t end up trying any this time, but hopefully I will try it next time.

And their sandwich counter looked so attractive!

I also saw a whole variety of other South Indian items. This includes idli, vadas and umpteen different kind of uttappas and dosas.

They have a counter outside, where you can see all the items getting prepared and you just need to get a coupon and place your order. You can stand out and eat or take a seat in their pretty humble seating area.

This place has something for everyone. I recommend checking it out.

I would love to stay in touch. So do hit me up on my social media.

Foodgasm Bandra

Casual Dining

November 2, 2016

Everything you need to eat when you visit Foodgasm Bandra! Just remember – everything is super delish! And you are definitely going to be overeaating.

Best vegetarian recommendations for Foodgasm Bandra:
Lush green Kebabs

These are nothing but Hara bhara Kebabs – a little cheating never hurt right!

Pestofied Cottage cheese

Pesto and basil flavored paneer chunks. So soft and totally melt in your mouth! The onion and peppers also taste delicious.

Turkish Punjabi

This is apparently as local to Turkey as sandwich is to Mumbai! Filled with spinach and cheese, this stuff is really good.

Quinoa biryani

This is all biryani – with boondi raita and everything. Only difference – Quinoa instead of rice. And trust me when I say that Quinoa doesn’t taste better than this!

Baked pumpkin and feta Fusili

Ok – now I’m not kidding but this has a slight Maggi kinda taste. And I’m not complaining.

Power Shot

Looking for a smoothie with that nice homely feel? Then this is your power shot! Filled with banana, almonds, melon, dates, milk and honey.
Coolant with a kick

Well I was served this as a welcome drink and honestly haven’t like kokam sherbet better. This also has chia seeds BTW.

Bugs bunny cake

Warm and moist carrot cake, with raspberry tarty stuff on the side and ice cream. Yumm!

Raspberry Rhubarb Split

This is Raspberry and Rhubarb compote with a crusty crumble. Very very very sour, but I quite enjoyed it.

The place is really nice. Minimal interiors but food is definitely of substance. I would absolutely recommend you to visit.
