Cafe Maaz

A wonderful little joint discovered on a bus journey on LBS Road in Bhandup. Cafe Maaz is a hardcore Muslim style eatery serving the usual Indian, Mughlai food with a large variety in Mutton which is rare in the central suburbs. There are very few places of this kind north of Kurla on the Central line. Cafe Maaz is at Sonapur bus stop, a 5 minute walk south from Nirmal lifestyles.

Three of us started with Mutton simple fry - excellent chomping in store. We had Bheja fry in egg - which was very good too. We had Mutton Kabuli (Mutton in a Kabuli chana gravy) and the usual Butter chicken. Chapatis and Rotis were excellent. Looking around we saw good Tandoori chicken, and other chicken/mutton gravies being enjoyed at the other tables. Our order turned out to be in red gravy and I saw the green and white ones floating around.

There was a stall right next to the entrance who was frying eggs, chicken, fish to make a great stret-food stall - he is not a part of the cafe but looked worth a try definitely. As in other cafes of this kind, no smoking, no drinking, no beef, no pork. All in all, good food, honest prices.
