Kala Ghoda although the black horse is no longer there it is a great cultural walk. Amazing buildings across the street (the gem is the Sassoon Library) also located on the street itself is the Max Mueller & Jehangir Art Galleries. It is also the site of the Kala Ghoda festival which attracts a motley crue of performers and viewers.
However we arent going to talk about that. We will talk about the various gastronomic opportunities available. A variety of cuisines is available along this street from Indian to American fast food.
You can literally plonk your car and pick virtually anything you want to eat. The food ranges from the authentic to the Indianized versions.
TGIF - Their town side outlet had opened here and i gave it a shot. It was weak. Not as bad as Ruby Tuesday(Nothing is as bad as Ruby Tuesday)
Khyber - Great Mughlai food. It is not fantastic because it can be inconsistent sometimes. It is a great place to take any non-Indians looking for a taste of something local.
Silk Route - Strictly ok. I have had some ok meals and it is decent but i don’t think the restaurant has found its footing. It isn’t bad but on a street of so many joints, it doesn’t do enough to stand out.
Way Side Inn Sandwiches -
Chetna - The place is really run down and only dining out on yesteryears glory. Place needs a face lift and a new cooking team. Easily one of the worst.
Joss - Haven t been yet.
Bombay Blue - Americanized fast food serving everything from onion rings, nachos etc. The decor is great for all three restaurants as they are all under on roof. Bombay Blue to me is def the weakest of the three restaurants.
Copper Chimney - Disappointing. The food does not live up to the copper chimney name at all.
Noodle Bar - Some what Indianized oriental cuisine. However weirdly they do serve onion rings and hummus as appetizers on their Oriental menu. They have some really good steamed wantons, fantastic Ice tea as well as superlative green curry with rice. They used to make a great wok sort of bowl but it has gone downhill big time.
Samovar (opp side) - haven’t been there in years but from what i recall the experience was not great by any standards. Place is usually full however.
I’m a bit confused here. Should we or should we not take this foodie walk? From what you say, seems like none of these restaurants are worth the trouble going to Kala Ghoda.
