Meal : Dinner
Location : Near Bhatia Hospital, Tardeo.
Ended up back at Swati as my wife had a burning desire for some Panki. I had some work in the neighbourhood so we mixed in business with gastronomy.
So the panki was what we ordered, two versions, the mint and the chutney. Panki is a traditional gujarati snack not found everywhere, its like a uttapam or a chila but steamed between leaves and served with chillies and chutney. Delicious.
I also got the Dahi Misal, which is a more traditional Maharashtrian snack and it was just incredible. I haven't had such a good one anywhere, it was less spicy than usual and maybe thats why the taste came out so well.
The wife wanted some good old batata vada and we got some but i was not too impressed. no real taste or bent of any kind, plain, simple & boring.
the whole thing was topped of by the baked masala khichadi. Fantastic, not as spicy as usual again and a good call. piping hot, it was just delicious with a capital D. do ask for extra dahi (curd), it will go very well with the heat.
Overall the food was great, the service was quick and friendly.
Swati is a great option to get a taste of Indian snacks in an upmarket ambiance and a hygienic setting. They also serve two of the coolest and uniquely Bombay things, the Kala Khatta Gola (sort of like a slurpy on a stick) & Sugarcane juice.
