Chanced upon this little joint while doing one of my favourite things as a Mumbaikar - go galavanting in South Mumbai. Until I saw it recently, I had no clue of its existence and boy was I pleased to find this place!!

So being the Mallu beef hunter that I'm, I had to try their beef fry which combined magically with their flaky, soft wheat porottas. If I had a dying food wish, it would be for beef fry and porotta and the kind of which is served in places like this humble joint. We also tried the squid masala, which was again kick ass and full of flavor! What I loved is the thoughtfulness of the manager to give us 3 different gravies to enjoy our porottas as the beef fry and squid accompaniment we ordered alongside were dry items. Full marks there!

Finally, try washing all this goodness down with some Kerala black tea. Blissful, delicious, filling and yet so economical! I loved the beef fry so much that I bought two of those as take aways too. All in all in a total bill of just 520 rupees including those take aways!! Are you kidding me!! But seriously, beef porotta ke deewano, Public Restaurant ke darshan aap kar hi aao.

Pro tip: go on a weekend to avoid office crowd of the weekdays.

Very economical and tasty Kerala food you will find here. You won't have a comfy seating, but food will be tasty. We ordered for Mutton masala fry and porotta. The meat was well cooked and soft.
