In this chaotic and dynamic world we sometimes feel like getting transported to a much happier place where we can eat without having to think about our next appointment or listen to some good old music. Well, Team Salt and Sandals certainly certifies SodaBottleOpnerwala as a happy place which is peppy yet soothing. Also, we appreciate when a restaurant tries to engage it’s customers by changing their menu a bit. This move helps the restaurant explore their potential and also breaks the monotony for their much loyal and regular customers. SodaBottleOpnerWala seems to have nail this ideology since their new menu is to die for!
Not many of you know but the SodaBootleOpnerWala at Khan Market is chiefly managed by Chef Anahita Dhondy and Team Salt and Sandals was completely mesmerised by her talent and work. she made us go through the entire new menu telling us about the restaurant’s modern take on the traditional parsi food and the choice of ingredients they thought were marriageable.
For starters they have come up with Crispy Corn Bhel and Carnivore’s Bhel. We are sure you must have never thought about giving your bhel a bacony twist but god, does it tastes even more amazing! They also played with the Vada Pav by adding bacon to it. We think that bacon is no doubt the non veg version of butter because everything become yummier when bacon is added. We’d say that simplicity is one of the touchstones of SodaBotlleOpnerWala. They give life to the food we tend to cook in our homes. This simplicity was very well exhibited in their new dish called boiled egg sandwich. The sandwich not only tasted healthy but was actually healthy considering the homely ingredients it bore like pudina chutney. We also tried their new Chicken Soup for the Bambaiyya Soul. The soup is the perfect comfort food one needs on those chilly nights. You guys, Winter is coming and we urge you to try this soup out before it’s too late.
For drinks we went for the all new bombay julep and The BumSuckerWala . Bombay Julep has to be the prettiest drink we have ever come across. Served in the Julep glass garnished with mint leaves and fuchsia coloured flowers, the drink was refreshing and had the right amount of alcohol hit to it. The BumSuckerWala has raspberry, vodka and thyme in it and is berrylicious good.
For Main Course we ate their freshly made Chicken Biryani which was cooked to perfection. The chicken was tender pink and juicy. We also had their new Khattu Meethu Pumpkin Sabzi with a Parantha which was extremely soft and melted in the mouth. The presentation of each dish was worthy of taking a picture. We must say that SodaBotlleOpnerWala slay the presentations of their dishes.
With hardly any place left in our stomachs we had to devour their new heavenly desserts. We tried the very new Matunga Coffee Cake which was baked like our mothers used to do it when there were no ovens. Baked with a the help of a water bath in tin moulds was absolutely lip smacking. The coffee flavour was singing in our mouths till the end and is a must try from their new menu. We also had the Chocolate PeanutButter Cheesecake which tasted more like a deconstructed snickers was delicious. We called it a day with Orange and White Chocolate cake which was served with Vanilla Ice Cream which was the perfect ending to our little culinary rendezvous that evening.
As you all can tell Team Salt and Sandals is all praises for the new menu at the SodaBottleOpnerWala and we recommend our readers to check it out at the earliest. The new menu is now available across all the outlets.
