Cuisine : Parsi Food (Starters/ Side Dishes), Sandwiches, Burgers, Biscuits, Rolls etc
Getting There: Opp Metro Adlabs
As usual deciding the location was a crazy task and we were a divided house. We finally agreed on Kyani's. Somehow i have just not been able to get the team to go to Olympia. On arrival at Kyani's the distinguishing fact about the entrance is the long rope that is hanging at the entrance. The kid in you may just encourage you to swing to and fro by clinging to it. We realised on being seated that they may not be having a 'propah' lunch. The ambience is pretty much old world, the way i like it. Some of the posters around maybe 30 to 40 years old. We walked around checking the bakery counter and saw an interesting range of biscuits, scones and rolls on display. The place has 2 levels, with the upper level being for women, children aka family seating.
Coming back to food, the realisation that we would have to experiment with sandwiches was just sinking in and the old waiter was definitely not in the mood to entertain any young 'uns like us. The menu was primarily sandwiches, burgers, omletes, burjees etc... We started off with mutton cutlets and keema pao. The cutlets had too much potato in them. In fact i was to have a kheema omlete, but was later informed that these would be served separately and were not a single dish ( I doubt it !). The kheema omlete was nice, not too spicy ! just nice. Sreekanth had ordered a chicken burjee and chicken burger , both of which took ages to come and apna Kaivaan baba as usual had Cheese Omlete , With Extra Cheese !! By this time Mallika had again ordered cutlets ,which were being ticked in with pao. The agonising wait for Sree's chicken burji turned out to be worth it. The dish was tantalisingly spicy ( haldi being a tad excess) and was well peppered with shredded chicken. The Chicken Burger finally arrived. Let me tell you this has been one of the finest burgers i have had, it had 2 layers of piping hot chicken cutlets placed between the buns and they were just divine ! Simplyyyyyy Divine. We had chided Sree on not experimenting, only to find out that he had made the discovery of the day with both the dishes he ordered. Dessert was Lagan nu custard, caramel pudding, followed by Irani Chai. All of these were average. Sree complained that they had not boiled the milk. But i found it ok.
Kaivoo tried to speak to the Irani/ Parsi gentleman behind the counter, only to get the cold shoulder.
The place is also good on the wallet, cos the bill for 4 people and about 10 dishes (incl coke etc) was about @INR 300. My rating - 4 out of 5, simply for the old world no nonsense ambience and the interesting food, which was of good quality. Interesting how a bakery could have such cool menu.
