Sachin

Sachin is a very old establishment in Dadar. It is a small joint with minimal decor with no pretensions to being anything but.

We had a bunch of things, a prawn masala which was good (altho i personally thought it could have been fresher). The rava fried surmai was excellent, as was the pomfret despite being relatively small. friend ordered a tomato salad( chopped tomato and chutney and curd) and that was a hit, we ordered seconds.

Chicken sukka was good, spicy and garlicky but not very oily. The egg masala was excellent (had some black masala, which gave it a sangli/kolhapuri flavour. We also ordered the mutton vada, supposedly their speciality. The vadas were good (if you like them in the first place) not oily, or chewy. The mutton was disappointing. The gravy wasn't as appetizing (the egg on was better) and the meat was badly shredded, nice bigger chunks would have made a big difference.

the butter milk and sol kadhis were soso.. chapatis were excellent, light and fresh.

overall total value for money. 5 of us ran up a tab of 516 bucks, and everybody except me confessed to overeating.

no beer.
