A couple of colleagues and I had finished a meeting near the Bombay Stock Exchange. We were three hungry men on the prowl. We disdainfully walked past an Udipi, Anna Leela. Our South Indian refused to go there. Too close to home for comfort. We walked past the newly opened Shangh Dynasty and Wich Latte and headed towards Soul Fry Casa at Fountain.
We thought it was a seafood place. Turned out to be a Goan place. Even better.
The ambience was quite nice. Had a classical Goan Portuguese feel to it. Only one or two other tables were occupied. In lunch hour in Mumbai’s core business district! Warning sign no 1.
The food came. I started with fried okra. Deep fried. Not crisp, unlike what the menu described it to be. It was served in a dessicated coconut base. It was nice. The fried bombil turned out to be fried calamari. They had told us about it. Decent again.
