Masala Canteen, Vastrapur, Ahmedabad: FOOD
The menu runs through a gamut of Indian food options from street food favorites of Mumbai to North Indian, with some innovative plating and serving techniques. The Bombay Vada Pav is not as spicy as the original, instead the red chilly paste is smeared on the plate so you can rub the sandwich over it before having. The Bohri Kheema Pav is also neatly presented, with delicious minced meat. The Naan Rolls with mutton, chicken or paneer are also pretty good.
A must have is the Kebab-e-Khas, stuffed chicken tikka on skewers which come in a small tabletop version of the tandoor. This ensures that when you are eating from one skewers the other tikkas stays coal fire hot in the clay pot. The Byculla Market Mutton Kebabs have a nice texture but are not very well seasoned. The Kasundi Fish Tikka has eye appeal and has a good balance of seasoning so that it does not overpower the delicate fish. Pudina Mirch Paneer Rolls is a house special.
The Shorbas are well made and stock-rich whether it is drumstick or chicken you can taste the resultant flavours. The Chaap ka Yakhni is rich in mutton stock and gelatinous.
For those who like pizza, this restaurant has Naanza with toppings like Butter Chicken or paneer, chilly and soya.
For the mains, the Tiffin ka Jadoo makes a substantial meal the tiers of dabbas that make the classic Indian tiffin are well-filled with main dishes, breads, rice and accompaniments. The Kolhapuri Aanda Curry is a spicy dish for egg lovers.
The desserts like Gulab Jammun and Rabdi are also reasonably good.
