Eating Out In Mumbai Series:
Correct Food.
Rosaline Restaurant, Grant Road W
If you have friends like me, you end up eating in places that are affordable, tasty and has character that reflect both the people who run the place and their regular customers.
I recently met @bigmlittlem aka Meher, a food writer and who has the most interesting things to say and write about food and @bombil_fry aka Sanchia, who is immersed in her research about culinary history and habits of colonial Bombay at a restaurant that you will not find on google.
It is an old restaurant called Rosalin on Sleater Road/N Bharucha road outside Grant Road Station West. It now seems to be a favourite of taxi drivers.
You may have to wait for your seat during peak lunch hour and I ordered what everyone here seemed to ordering: a plate of rice and dal with burjee. The quantity they serve is huge and the taste is right. They also allow outside food.
We also ordered Pav and Dal Fry (hot and right).
It is just right. It's faithful and along the lines when it comes to what dals should be. Error-free food, I guess. Perfectly correct even. Everything was just right and hence Correct Food (as christened or naamakaraned by Meher)
The chai is, like you guessed, right too and we could have had a couple of rounds but the manager ensured that we were out because there were customers waiting.
