Mancho's Grill & Fries

Two years old on Oct 6th, this unusually named no-frills Parsi dugout has restored my faith in the home-caterer. FOOD: 4/5 The Chicken Samosa is crisp, well spiced and a regular at my house parties. Chicken Farcha and Cheese Malai Tikka (pictured) and the biryani make for a good main course, though I'd like to try their Mutton Dhansak and Salli Boti (only Sundays). They don't do rotis but you can pick up giant Chapatis next door at Dorabjee's. Give the Chicken Cutlet a miss; have another Samosa instead. SERVICE: 4/5 Fast and hygienic, the (literally) hole-in-the-wall packs solid grub for its puny size. The old lady behind the counter bears me patiently while I wander the menu. She also openly abhors Archana Puran Singh. AMBIENCE: N/A I'm not even going to rate it because there's no seating: you have to take your food away. PRICE: 5/5 Incredible pricing means two famished people can dine for under 300. My bulk orders usually feed 10 people under 2500 Rupees. NB: There is NO vegetarian food. And I'm ok with that. It's right behind Ghule Wines (wink wink nudge nudge). They also don't do home delivery at the time of writing this review.
