Soul Fry

I went to Soul Fry with my ‘building friends’, the ones I grew up with. We call ourselves ‘chuddy-buddies’ because we’ve been friends since our chaddi days. So the place really wouldn’t have mattered, we would’ve had fun anywhere. But Soul Fry, was actually a very good restaurant. It’s a Goan restaurant, no surprise there considering that L & N chose it. They serve ‘soul food’ or ‘comfort food’ as we’d call it in America. We went with the thalis. The soul-fry special thali had rice, chapatti, clams cooked in a traditional coconut gravy, surmai fry and curry and a ‘soul kadi’ which is a typical Goan dish. It was alotta food, that’s for sure. The ambience was simple and laid-back and we idled there for almost four whole hours. The décor too was quaintly Goan, from the fish nets to the liquor bottles!

To anyone who’s new to Bandra and has never eaten Goan food, I would definitely recommend this place - Soul food and old friends, the perfect way to spend a lazy Friday afternoon.
