I heard nick warren was playing at squeeze the other day.. see who is in town when you're there, go accordingly.... yea.. sometimes clubs accept only couple's.. but at most places... you will get in as a stag..(single) food.. depends on where you are going to be staying.. if you're staying in south mumbai.. let me know.. and ill tell you exactly where to go.. dont really know any place in the suburbs for chinese.. except maybe stomach.. try going to this place called "bombay blues".. its a chain.. eat the nachos and the cholle bhatura there.. best in bombay. wada pav.. worli seaface is my favourite vadapav... pav bhaji.. doesnt really matter.. go to the closest shiv sagar near you.. if you really want authentic (:hysterical:) pav bhaji.. go to "Sardar" at tardeo.. i think that guy invented pav bhaji.. shopping malls.. I liked Inorbit.. was really good.. otherwise the usual.. Personally, i dont prefer shopping in malls.. i like going to individual stores.. somehow dont like the idea of shopping in a mall in india... as for the western ghats.. rent a car and go from bombay to pune.. the expressway in the monsoons will be a sight to behold... superb.. once in pune.. go to koregaon park and chitle bandhu, etc. :teeth_smile: oh, and this is one thing a lot of NRI's miss out on. When in india.. go to the local subway, local pizza hut, local kfc, etc.. you will be surprised at what all they have.. subway will have a tandoori paneer sub with mint chutney.. mcdonalds will have a aloo tikki burger.. pizza hut has this amazing pizza.. (maybe it is smokin joes).. instead of marinara, they put tikka sauce.. with paneer on top.. and green chillies with coriander.. tastes like heaven..:teeth_smile:.. also, try the nazza.. its a mixture of pizza and naan..:haha: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You lucky dog! :top: If you really want to enjoy India, stay away from Domino's, KFC, McDonald's etc. Have authentic Indian(that includes South Indian etc) food and also try Indian Chinese. Have bottled water. Cannot stress this enough. :toilet: If you are going to Delhi, then keep yourself hydrated. Roam around in Connaught Place. It is soooo soothing plus you get to see amazing babes there. You can catch the metro to Chandni Chowk from where you can get a rickshaw to Karim's. If you eat non vegetarian food, you HAVE to go there.:eating: It is amazing. Also try mughali food in Pandara Market. If you want to partaaayyyy, then go to Climax.

No bugger will be interest in ya mate that much I can say. As for speaking to the officials at the airport goes, don't talk much just say yes or no. The customs guys can leech ya if you appear to have been born and brought up elsewhere. Best thing to do is speak little words, yes or no. Having the ability to speak the local language helps immensely. I always use very few words to get around the city. It's fun to be in India that's for sure. I love the rickshaw rides, they are thrilling :captain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locating it for a first timer might be a bit difficult though seeing as it's situated in one of the bylanes of Khan Market. The kebab is simply outstanding. I've been going to that place for nearly 20 years! :lollypop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been going to that place for nearly 20 years! :lollypop: Nothing beats their mutton seekh roll. Melts in your mouth. I suppose the only downside is the time you have to wait. The place is always busy and your order takes at least 20 mins. Well, that was the case whenever i have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aditi Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Indian McDonalds is just plain nasty! The Subway Indian style subs are pretty good. Pizza Hut is good too. The KFC on Linking Road, Bandra was shut for renovation, so didn't get a chance to check it out. For good pav bhaji...SHIV SAGAR! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 The pizza hut in India rules. Awesome pizzas and a very tidy joint :rock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
