Durga Lunch Home (Mahim West)

Tolerable - not too bad if they've got your order right

The single most dimly-lit eatery in all of Mahim, Durga may be forgiven for the stewards not quite being able to see what they are carrying. This is a mistake often made in vegetarian dishes, where atrocities like Aloo Tamatar have been served instead of Aloo Gobi. The steward might also emerge 20 minutes later and tell you that the gobi for your aloo-gobi is not available, and you may choose something else. When it comes to the non-vegetarian dishes though, promises are mostly fulfilled in terms of the food item, though not necessarily the food quality. The chicken lollypop, served with some extremely intense chilli sauce, hardly evokes any taste except what is absolutely necessary to accompany beer. The same may be said of the Chicken 65 - the flavour of the chicken gets lost amidst all the allied things that get added to the plate. The only dish worth its salt is the Boneless Chicken - a completely unpretentious, blunt name, and accompanied by no separate salad either. Enjoy your beer and fork up pieces of shredded boneless chicken in the dark - at Durga, that is the definition of 'Bliss'.
