I was in India this week. Had a few great meals. Mahesh Lunch Home on Juhu Tara Road in Mumbai has the best Lobster Curry I have ever had. Next to it the JWM’s main restaurant concocts interesting Indian fusion dishes (like the masala pasta dishes in the photograph here), though I passed, on account of the more authentic choice in the Mahesh nearby. The Raj Pavilion at the Windsor Manor in Bangalore has fantastic Dosas, which I did repeat. And the China House at the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai has the only Peking Duck I have ever had in India. In a nutshell food is great; the service though is still a substandard value for money – the waiters are right on top of you and desperate to help with spooning the food from dish to plate, yet totally clueless about the ingredients, preparation or the origin of the foods.
