If you are one of those adventurous souls who's ordered mutton in a Mumbai restaurant, you would know what I mean. The odds of the meat being edible are quite low, and the consistency of the meat, if not akin to a rubber band, would most likely be closer to a piece of moon rock.

Enter Cafe Ajwa. Low budget, rundown place, with food to beat the best. Experiment with the different mutton items on the menu, and the chances are you will not be disappointed. The kheema is a wonderfully different preparation in green gravy (The health conscious be warned ... oil is in abundant supply here), and the rotis are served warm and soft!

The biryani / pulao is different, and may not be to everyone's taste. I personally felt the taste growing on me after the second mutton pulao, but I would not go back for the biryani!

Me thinks all those techie folks working around Godrej complex never had it so good ...
