Kebab Corner, Andheri East

After many a relocation in the Andheri area, Kebab Corner has relocated to a really nice location in a rather out of the way area. It is located on Mahakali Caves road, at one of the slightly sharp turns that are present on the winding stretch of road. The problem that compounds the location is that the frontage of the shop is half hidden by trees. This makes it so difficult to spot that you will take some time to figure out the location even if you know the exact spot. I will try to tackle that challenge in the "How to get there" section. If you do however you will find a great layout with an outdoor and an indoor option. We sat indoors but I liked the outdoor layout which can give a feeling of eating on a verandah with a large tree as a natural curtain overlooking the traffic.
The food was great and because we went in a largish group, we ended up sampling quite a few dishes. We tried the Amritsari Paneer, Pind-da-Chana, Chicken Reshmi Kebab, Chicken Kalimiri and Garlic Naan. The chicken dishes were good without being exceptional - tasty, value for money food, the Kalimiri was a decently mild version and avoids scalding sensitive tongues and lips. The paneer was sweet and tasty, could be a problem for those who do not like sweet food but not a problem for my palate. The Pind-da-Chana was almost as good as the name of the dish, the preparation was delicious without being accompanied by the excessive oil which usually accompanies Chana dishes in most standard restaurants. The highight of the meal according to me was a tasty, but slightly over the top garlic naan. I either have never ordered Garlic Naan or this was a rather special version, it sort of freaked me out. It was like at least 40 (and i am not exaggerating) pieces of chopped garlic on top of the Naan, not that it tasted bad, according to me garlic always does, but I happily reverted to plain Naan for the next round of order. I would actually order a piece next time from the sheer novelty of the experience but order a regular Naan also alongside.
A meal for 2 at Kebab Corner, Andheri East will cost you approximately Rs 250/-
How to get there: You have to drive down the Mahakali Caves road from Andheri Kural road towards JVLR. Kebab corner will fall on the right. It is right on a sharpish right turn, which serves as a mini round about with a tree bang on the middle of the road and tree on the right and the left as well. That should serve as the landmark. You could alternatively stop at all mini round abouts and ask people who are usually helpful in Mumbai.
