A street dinner!
Bademiya, Colaba; famous for its mouth-watering kebabs and ‘local’ setting, was the venue for our first work Dinner Club gathering. Nine of us squeezed around the table on the side of the street, amongst the cars coming and going and the general hustle and bustle of Colaba. Each of us ordered something different, even the strictly vegetarian among us were catered for. We had Baida roti, chicken rolls, Bhuna Ghosht, chicken cream roll, Reshmi kebab, paneer tikka…the list goes on! The meat melted in your mouth, with so many different spices and flavours Although not the five star service we are used to providing, the food arrived quickly and hot from the grill! The paratha were so soft and fresh and the meat so tasty that no one was satisfied with just one and we quickly ordered more! Once we had all eaten as much as we could manage, we headed to Café Mondegar, a popular bar on Colaba Causeway, to wash it all down with a cold beer, or two! Not as infamous as the nearby Leopolds, Café Mondegar (aka Mondys) is always busy with an eclectic mix of young locals and expats from all corners of the globe, attracted as much by the vibrant cartoon-like murals and fun atmosphere as the reasonably priced beer and variety of comfort food. All in all, we had great evening, with more food than we could eat, and all for under Rs400 (about £5) – bargain!
