Brittania - Shutting down

Just heard a very disquieting bit of news. Brittania and Co in Ballard Pier is apparently shutting down. Am in shock.

Update : Brittania is not shutting down but selling out. This is from the owner's mouth. Wonder if I will ever get the oily mutton cutless, the fried bombil or the mutton dhansak ever again. The Berry pulao is also something to be missed but perhaps @ 270/- bucks a plate not so much in these times

What we need is Military rule!!

There is this small little place called Military cafe in town. I used to eat there often back in my younger days and the food was astounding. Rikhav and I went back there when we really didnt want to mess with Brittania's food (Amazingly good thought it is). Military is also a parsi run joint with food that used to be up there. And to cut a long story short the food still is up there. We started off with a nice cold Beer (A amazingly severe lack of which cripples Brittania) and then worked our way through some Kheema Ghotala, Dal Gosht accompanied by slices of Pao. I don't know where Military gets it Pao from but I wants it all the time. The Dal Gosht was amazing and the Kheema was competetent. Unfortunately the Bheja was over (At 1.20 in the noon) but then it must have been good to get over so soon. Military also has specials through the working week and does consider Saturday to be the weekend. All this accompanied by a 300 ml bottle of Dukes Lemonade (That is also becoming a rarity- The 300 ml bottle that is) was bliss. And to finish it off there was one of the best Caramel Custards in town.
