Bombay street food in Delhi @ Shiv Sagar

Shiv Sagar is not new for Mumbai , established and standing tall since 1981, they have come up with their new outlet at the heart of the city, “Janpath”. A pure vegetarian restaurant , serves Mumbai street food along with North Indian and  Indo-Chinese dishes. We planned for a week day to avoid the rush , but found the place jam packed with the shoppers  taking a hault after their shopping in CP.  As the place is surrounded by many offices , office goers also drop in for a quick bites.

After pursuing the huge option in the menu, we ordered for Sev-Puri, Vada –Pao, Shiv Sagar Sandwich, Pao-Bhaji, Chilli Idli, and  Tawa Pulao .  We ordered for fresh juice while waiting for the food .  Ordered for Carrot juice and Maara Maari Juice ( a mix of Pineapple and Sweet lime). Juice was freshly squeezed and without any artificial sweetener.
Sev-Puri was quite filling with spicy and tangy flavour. It tickled our taste buds. Vada Pao was exactly what I had in Mumbai . We were told that they import pao(s) from Mumbai . It was served in a traditional way with dry spices and fried chilli along with green chutney.  Chilli Idli is something to talk about.  A very innovative dish with fried idli cubes , tossed with different flavours and garnished with spring onions. Sandwich was stuffed with Potato slices, finely chopped onions, cheese, layer of green chutney  and chat masala. It was served with garlic and mint chutney.  Bhaji in Pao-bhaji was mild and and pao was soft and fresh. Tawa Pulao was served with creamy raita with finely chopped onions and chillies.


SWEET TOOTH

After having a lavish meal of dishes mentioned above , we preferred to have a glass of Strawberry shake. Shake was good with fresh strawberries but I personally will prefer to have their fresh juices.

After perusing the menu with a huge choice of their signature dishes, we decided to order BBW Shake, Bitchy Berry Shake and Lolz special Chai along with Kurkure Chaat, Messy Bum Burger, WTF Platter , Spicy chicken with Peri Peri Sauce and Spicy Mexicana Pizza.
BBW Shake was good with Brownie and Walnut , Bitchy Berry Shake was a mix of strawberry and blue berries . Their Chai hits the spot . It is like an added "Bonus" for the Cafe.  Kurkure Chaat was crispy , Messy Bum Burger was beautifully platted with fries , pasta salad and inhouse sauce . Bun was wheat bun which was fresh and soft.  WTF Platter was served with Chicken Sattey, Fried Chicken wings, Chilli Chicken and Kababs.  Spicy Chicken stuffed with spinach and cheese and served with Peri Peri sauce and Garlic Bread is something to talk about.  Spicy Mexicana Pizza was with thin crust base with a lavish spread of toppings.

To recover from all those spicy sauces , we ordered for Nutella Waffles which was with a lavish topping of nutella and served with a generous scoop of vanilla icecream.
To polish our food , we had Kala Khatta drink which was very refershing even in cold winter afternoon.
I suggest to head for LOLZ Cafe if you are in the area, looking for some place to hang out with comfort food with interesting Books and Comics or just bring out the inner child in you and play games. If not all, you can just enjoy some good music with your food.
