    Alka, you're one of the best food reviewers I've come across. You speak of not dipping butter bread in tea to not spoil the tea's taste.
    And like I do when I can't finish all the food, you too were comfortable taking the balance home. Whether you eat it later or share with the homeless or street/community animals is your choice but it's your humility that is laudable. Thank you.-

    There is a small shop in Grant Road known as Persian. They have the best Mawa Cake in Mumbai. They come in a very unusual shape of a glass. I think by afternoon they get over. There is a Bata shoes showroom opposite.
    It's a must try if you like good Mawa Cake

    It's superb eatery in very reasonable price and super quality of each n products. # 1 in Mava cake is B Merwan Grant Road n #2 is Kayani Bakery in Pune. Whenever you are making a video of Pune don't forget about Kayani Bakery which is also famous for its Mava cake n susberry cookies. Your all vedios are very good and informative about eateries. Best of luck.

    Alka, you really choose a very good destination. In my life I have also gone to Grant Road Irani Restaurant many times. The Parsee food is always very delicious and pure as the Parsee community is. Try some time Dhanshak Bhaat and pudding oat Parsee Restaurant or Hotel. You will really enjoy their non veg items also.

    Same with KIRTI COLLEGE used to carry those VADAPAAVS home, at that time I used to stay at KALYAN.

    One important thing to note at B. Merwans is that they serve the Omelette without salt. So it's a put off when you take the first bite! You are supposed to sprinkle salt and pepper. So please politely request the waiter to add salt while making the Omelette! The half fry is excellent over here! Sunny side up I mean

    What wrong they are doing, is that they are serving their foods items in one time use plates/vessels which is against international/BMC rules.

      I have been having their mawa cakes since childhood and we absolutely love them. You can also go through the comments from other viewers. Its a matter of individual choice. If I don't like a dish, we edit it out from the video or give it a low rating.

    I have always liked and loved Irani brunmaska and tea. Their interior is very unique. The round tables and those typical chairs and their counter. Great .
