There’s a reason immature people cite streamer to Candies. The food is affordable and fills we up. But what if we told we there’s something improved watchful for we only around a corner? Say hello to Chef Aloo’s, that serves tasty deli-style burgers, sandwiches and ready-to-eat dishes during a same prices that Candies does.

Coconut Pancakes

Chef Aloysius D’Silva’s latest venture, Chef Aloo’s is a month aged and occupies a same space that his matchbox-sized grill Villa Vandre once did. Gone are a tables and chairs, and in their place is a opposite heaving with goods. A sole list is trustworthy to a left wall, and there are bucket seats (no, literally, they’re buckets with cushions on top) we can park yourself on. By a looks of it, this is meant to be a pack-and-go kind of eatery.

Pork Sausage Muffin

Meat lovers, unite
The menu spans East Indian, Parsi, and Continental flavours. While there are a integrate of vegetarian equipment on it, like a Vegetable Caldin with Rice (Rs 200), and a Mushroom, Sage and Cheese Pie (Rs 120), remember that you’re entering domain that is dominated by your unchanging Bandra carnivore. From seafood and duck to pig and b**f, this menu spans a non-vegetarian spectrum.

Tenderloin Steak Burger

We totally omit a aforementioned vegetarian equipment and go true for a Pulled Pork Burger and a Tenderloin Steak Burger (both Rs 100). My dining messenger and we finish adult fighting over a former — a shredded pig is baked beautifully, slathered in mayo and sour chilli sauce, before being pulpy into a bun. The latter, too, facilities a failsafe multiple of the-meat-that-can’t-be-named and caramelised onion. If you’re not looking for something too heavy, get a Pork Sausage Muffin (R60), that stars normal spiced sausage brew encased within a light-as-air bread ‘muffin’.

Seafood Chilly Fry

Finding favourites
We try dual of a mini meals, and it is here that we find a favourite plate — a Chicken Khudi with Rice (Rs 180). Rich with coconut and perfumed with a aroma of bottle masala, mopping adult a curry with rice now transports us to an East Indian aunty’s home. The Seafood Chilly Fry (Rs 250), served with pao, is flavourful, though could have used some-more of a seafood it promised.

We’re pressed by now, though we’re not withdrawal but dessert. We sequence a week’s special, Coconut Pancakes (Rs 100). The ideal finish to a meal, a pink-tinged rolls reason a reduction of honeyed grated coconut and raisins.

Moral of a story: a subsequent time you’re in Bandra and feeling broke, skip your dear Candies and give Chef Aloo’s a shot. We’ll substantially come along. So, when are we going, bugger?
