Tandoori Chicken, Biryani & Baida Roti @ Mahim.

After getting a jolt from my friend on my capacity to study, i needed a break. Walking towards the Mahim church from Sitladevi temple, with the likes of Delhi Darbar et all.. my pick for a perfect Tandoori Chicken & Chicken Tikka Biryani was a simple & a subtle place called Hotel Paramount. Located just next to the Makdoom Shah Dargah food lane...this place is full of energy bustling with orders of chicken from all possible corners.

A casual place, recommended by a dear friend & now the co-author of this blog, Vinay Nasta! "Food is in his name!!! This is perfect for people who like Chicken to its core. A simple menu placed at the entrance tells you about Chicken delicacies it serves. My pick was a half Chicken Tandoori. A well marinated and soft chicken was served with mint leaves & salad comprising of shredded onions, cabbage & red chilly powder dressed in salt & pepper dripping. It scored in my taste & quality parameters.

My next pick was Chicken Tikka Biryani, the quantity was sufficing & the pieces were wholesome too. The only drawback was it did not come with a Raita at this place. It was not as spicy as a Biryani lover would want it to be, but it was surely value for money & needed a mention in your menu.

Where?: Towards Mahim church, near Makdum Shah dargah lane

Ambiance?: Not recommended to go with family, can get home a parcel though.

How Much?: Chicken Tandoori (Half) Rs 80, Chicken Tikka Biryani (Half) Rs 55.

Vinay had in advance asked me to keep some place in my appetite for something special... Our next destination was Ehsaan bhai's stall which served Baida Roti (Marinated & minced chicken rolled in Indian Roti or bread & dipped in egg.) For a health conscious person, this place is a strict NO NO. Served plate full dripping with oil, it was a treat to relish & bite over the baida roti which is served with a spicy mint chutney & onions. I'm sure 1 would not be enough to fulfill your hearts content.

So all you foodies, have fun.

Happy Eating!
