Bade Miya!

                                                          BADE MIYA!

 Great fan of tandoor and kebab ? The aroma of the kebabs and tandoor lifts you up in the trance? Well, then grab some buddies and drive your way to Colaba because BADE MIYA is waiting to serve you those hot kebabs and tikkas!

Located behind the historic Taj Mahal Hotel, BADE MIYA has been attracting customers of all sorts. Be it the customers with the BMWs, the Audis, the Jaguars or even the  common man ! It starts  at night around 9 when the people commence with their socializing and it goes on beyond mid night! As I have already specified that kebabs and tandoors are their signature dishes then it must have been an impromptu that Bade Miya offers you the speciality of Moghlai and North Indian cuisine! Mind you it's not a big restaurant or so but it's a road side eatery achieving turnover greater than restaurants!

 I would say you  must be lucky enough to get a table to dine because the people flock in such large numbers that it's difficult to avail a table. Such is the loyalty and  love of its  customers that they are even ready to eat and place the dishes on the roof - top of their cars.

Vegetarians, i pity you because the veg menu offered is quite limited and narrow because as i already mentioned that their focus is on moghlai and north indian dishes and where the vegetarians always find it hard to thrive! However there is still the regular paneer and aloo tikkas to savour your taste buds along with the special Veg. Dum Biryani ( mind you it's massively spicy).

However for you non-vegetarians out there , Bade-Miya is a heaven ! Quelle variete ( What a variety).
There are whole range of kebabs and tikkas waiting to pacify your hungry bellies and desperate taste buds. To name a few ,  I would say chicken reshmi tangdi kebab, chicken breast tikka,chicken kheema roll , chicken seekh kebab and  chicken tikka fry are worth the stash paid (the word SHAHI, for all these dishes would make them more exciting)! But if it's moghlai and you haven't ordered red meat dishes then it's a failed trip to Bade Miya I would say. The mutton boti fry, mutton baida roti , mutton boti kebab, mutton gurda roll are the hot favourites I  would say.

Once you are through with the  kebabs  , it's time to move on to some breads, biryani's and curries. The butter rumali rotis are a must on every table and it goes well with almost everything means everything ; be it chicken or mutton kheema,  chicken bhuna, 'mutton roghan josh ' or even paneer bhurji! Finally to end your meal , there can't be a better dish than a dum biryani , be it chicken or mutton!

I'm sure this would have made you salivating and desperate to try the menu but hey patience is the key for everything.

As they say no love is sincerer than love for food.

Quality: 9/10

Service: 8.5 /10
