Ending a clam and relaxed Sunday on a sweet note me raksha, vamshi and jeet my #blog world friends were out for a mothers day event and we badly wanted a break from norm so we sat in vamshi's car and headed to our unknown destination at first we wanted to settle in for coffee then we argued about it and drove and drove finally ended up at HajiAli food shrine @ MM Road...
We picked the right choice and coming to a place where we could attain peace over a few gulps of sweet faloodas...we needed me time pointless conversations jokes planning on future... which is not going to happen soon and loads of laughter made our day special for once we forgot about all the burdens of life and returned to childhood days...
HajiAli is popular among college kids in Mumbai they are know for best grilled sandwiches pastas smoothies faloodas and fruit juices on a budget when i used to stay at mumbai for work HajiAli was always on my mind for snacking i used to see both young and old visit them in large numbers...
I was surprised to see HajiAli at our own city was quite exciting to revisit and recuperate old memories the place is well lite quite centralized to colleges schools and offices in and around neatly maintained parking is available right outside and importantly staff is friendly...
We sat down and relaxed a bit as they handed the menu cards i was quite surprised to see few new dished added to their extensive menu...i had no space in my tummy for all of that neither were my friends so we settled down for faloodas...
We ordered Mango, Butterscotch, Kesar and Dry Fruit Faloodas... ranging between 130 to 160 Rupees..
The creamy and wonderful faloodas were yummy a bit to sweet for my pallet but we enjoyed every bit..totally worth it they are opened 11am till 11pm
and in no time its all gone...
HajiAli is a place to enjoy with family and friends there is a private seating area if you want to organize a birthday party or anniversary the right place to be in with loved ones i will totally recommend this place for your next event and i will be visiting HajiAli for sure...
