Tingle your taste buds with Fiery flavours of Grills & Wok, Oshiwara


There are many Chinese restaurants in Mumbai and many new ones are opening nowadays. Every Chinese restaurant has its own taste and flavors. From the taste and color of schezwan sauce to ingredients used and preparation style everything differs.

If you remember, China is also a vast country and as Indian food - they too have regional styles of cooking and that where this variation comes from.
Thai Pot Rice


Food at 'Grills & Wok' is packed with spices and fiery flavors. Fiery means super spicy, I almost had 7-8 glassed of water to gulp down my food. Although dishes I have ordered were meant to be spicy but they are extra spicy (even my Maharashtrian Friend couldn't survive that)

The Iconic Roast Chilli Chicken

Sauces used are different and that cooks up some really delicious dishes. The best part of the menu is their 'Roast Chicken' in different chinese preparations. They have dedicated 'Lamp and seafood' option to their food menu - that you don't get to see normally in Mumbai.

Recommendations - Roast Chicken Chilli with spring Onions, lamb in paprika and exciting range of pot rice. 
It is a small Restaurant with two seating portions - apt for family get-togethers as well as casual dinners. I found prices to be at a higher side, but the quality of food justifies the same upto some extent.

PS - The food I have tasted here was extremely spicy for normal palate. Do make necessary alterations while ordering your food.

This legendary eatery can be traced back to 1939, is known for its large size vada with soft pavs.  What makes these Vada Pav special is that they are served hot & Fresh. Unlikely, they don't make it in lots and don't even Re-fry. 

Being a Maharashtrian eatery, they serve some of the best Kothimbir Vadi, Thali Peeth , Dahi Misal , Upma and Kandha Poha. The green chutney and Red Chilli Garlic sukkha chutney is at par with the popularity of this place.

It is a small eatery with little sitting space, they have a Quick Snack counter on one side of eating joint, which makes it a restaurant cum Take away joint. 
They have a limited menu, every dish is worth a try.  They also have a limited array of drinks that are perfect in this scorching heat. You can choose from Piyush (Maharashtrian Chass), Sharbat's( Amla, kokum & limbu), Tak and Garam Masala Doodh.

Ps - If you are at CST this place is worth a visit, not only vada pavs you can experience best of Maharashtrian Delicacies.
