Parsi Food Diaries - Parsi da Dhaba

Back to writing after a long time..never the less the spirit to write never fades away..it just making time for it.

I as travelling sometime back to Silvassa and came across this Parsi joint. Simple Parsi street food outlet on the highway with a distinctive spire and outdoor tables.

Its called Parsi-Da-Dhaba. After having lunch there the reviews were not that up to the mark, missed the authentic flavours expected from the Parsi food.

Let's feast upon the subject of street food - Khau Galli Kharghar

Street food is a big hit among the masses in Mumbai.

A foodie’s paradise, Mumbai’s Khau Gallis offer some of the most lip-smacking street food in the city. For the uninitiated, in Marathi, khau means treat and galli means a small lane.

A melting pot of cultures and refreshingly diverse influences, street food in Mumbai offers a unique potpourri of flavors that is incredibly satisfying. And Khau Gullies are where one can feel the pulse of Mumbai’s culinary culture.

One such place to make you drool is at Kharghar Navi Mumbai. The street near Utsav Chowk in Kharghar turns into a fully functional and chaotic Khau Galli in the evenings.

Cost: ₹300-500 for two people (approx.)

Specially known for its Momos, this is a paradise for Momo lovers.
