In fact one rearely gets list of places one will not visit in the media as the reviews are often paid.<BR/><BR/>I had started my blog keeping such places in mind...then somewhere it became more about things I love<BR/><BR/>Here's my take on some of the places you have mentioned:<BR/><BR/>- 5 spice: never went to the Fort one but people swear by the Bandra one. I fnd it slightly oily but like it overall http://finelychopped-k.blogspot.com/2008/08/5-spice-straight-to-guts.html<BR/>- All stir Fry - loved the concept when it opened. I learnt a vlauable trick of cooking the meats first in order of toughness from there. But my wife had a sever food poisoning once on account of a prawn which didn't agree with her<BR/>- Souk - still can't get over the terror attack<BR/>- Lemon Grass - used to love the original one at Carter Road. but the Phoenix one sucked on service. i am not surprised they shut down<BR/>- Marine Plaza - quite a mediocre place<BR/>- Sri Krishna - I tried madras cafe recently http://finelychopped-k.blogspot.com/2008/12/mayhem-at-madras-cafe.html<BR/>- Bade Miya - hey, aren't you vegetarian? But yes they are very over rated. And street food needn't necessarily be from the streets of hell! You need to be really blase to go there. i seem t have grown out of it. But it used to be our haunt in the nineties after cheap booze at GokulKalyan Karmakarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14552556294198718249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20337786.post-18414034686512551372008-11-24T18:13:00.000+05:302008-11-24T18:13:00.000+05:30Hi gaurav i really really like your blogits just a...Hi <BR/>gaurav i really really like your blog<BR/>its just amazing<BR/>please keep writing for us<BR/><BR/>thanks<BR/>crystalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20337786.post-25743729445856117192008-02-28T10:48:00.000+05:302008-02-28T10:48:00.000+05:30Bade miya is just disgusting.

I think the two have been dining out on their reps for long. <BR/><BR/>I usually stick to coffee shops or Trattoria for late night binges.Gauravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825132273845517460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20337786.post-90993307652473645492008-02-28T04:01:00.000+05:302008-02-28T04:01:00.000+05:30Ayub is excellent, I go back to Bombay every year ...Ayub is excellent, I go back to Bombay every year and I must I visit Bade Miyan for nostalgia.

And even then the food was dismal. Nothing compared to what it was when I first went there. <BR/><BR/>In contrast, what do you think of Ayubs? Last time I was in Bombay (5 yrs ago) I fell in love with the paneer rolls. Spicy and tasty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
