The best kheer in Mumbai is available at Chowpatty. On a clear Sunday you step on to the beach and then keep walking towards the Air India building. This old lady who sits somewhere on the beach opposite New Yorker does the most amazing kheer. According to her it's stirred for about 7 hours by Bihari dwarfs.
Oh all right enough with this. The best kheer in Mumbai is available at Crystal. The place is near Wilson college on the same side as Wilson on Marine Drive. While the kheer is definitely one of the highlights I love it for the palak paneer, Chole and Baingan Bartha. Actually screw it anything punjabi including the chaach is awesome there. Some poor misguided Gujju souls still wander in for the Pav Bhaji but who really would eat anything other than Punjabi @ Crystal. The decor is not the most uplifting but listening to Manna Dey songs is part of the charm. The door to the kitchen is firmly closed but I really don't want to see in what conditions is the food turned out in. Suffice to say this is one of the few vegetarian places that I would walk a mile to. Which incidentally I almost did thanks to Jayesh's idea of parking....
