Soak in the city's scenic skyline at a rooftop joint in Dadar that serves decent VFM fare
This clientele ranges from college-going youngsters looking for reasonable drinks to families with children running around. That's a healthy sign, because such a diverse mix of customers bodes well for an eatery that's less than a year old. "The food can't be bad," we think while perusing a menu that's so hotch-potch that tandoori tacos share space on the same page with Jamaican jerk tangdi kabab. But we play it safe, asking for the humble but honest combination of daal tadka and butter roti. We are in a "dhaba" after all.
We also get a whisky sour, which, at '250, is one of the most reasonable versions of this classic cocktail we have had. It's not the prettiest one though, as we discover. But we take a sip telling ourselves, "Itna paisa me itnaich milega," and are glad to discover that it doesn't taste bad. And the fish fingers ('299) that we ask for as an accompaniment are decent enough as well.
Similarly, the dal tadka ('199), too, can be summarised as perfectly palatable and nothing more. This isn't gourmet stuff. But it's not a botched job either. Plus, the drinks are cheap and prepared by a bartender who knows his chops, though eventually it's the ambience for which we will return to Angrezi Dhaba if we are in the area. It's the rooftop that sold it to us.
