It was a rainy afternoon ,trees swaying rhythmically on glitzy winds,road blocked up with traffic jam and school going children when we school friends decided to catch up for lunch at Simply Saraswat in Borivali west.This restaurant sounded fancy and stylish to me by its name. So,among all, I immediately shortlisted this one and almost finalized the venue without giving much chance for my friends to rack their brains.
Simply Saraswat is situated at Chandavarkar Road,Borivali west.This tiny and cozy restaurant is done up in simple,warming interior with not making much fuss about lavish and posh design. The restaurant is run by a lady which was quite a brownie point for me.But unfortunately,I could not meet her while leaving.Simply Saraswat is South Indian Vegetarian cuisine where you not only get numerous types of idlis dosas but also other south indian delicacies like Bisi Belle Anna,Appams,Payasam,Tamarind Rice,Lemon Rice,kairas,surnoli etc etc.The restaurant has not forgotten to make variations in Idlis and Dosas. You will get unique pizza dosa,paneer bhurji dosa,Spinach Dosa and similar varieties in idlis as well.The area is sufficient to occupy approximately 10-12 tables at a time.
After long awaited chatterings,we shifted our focus to food.We ordered "Kele phodi" (banana fritters)as starter.They were crisp , tasty and medium spicy.The main course consisted Spinach Dosa and then Dosa Platter resepectively.In Dosa Platter,as the name suggests, we get all each types of Dosas.E.g.Neer Dosa,Sada Dosa,Ambolya,Spinach Dosa etc.So far the food was quite satisfactory reaching our satiety level.Later,Desert was called in.And to our gluttonous tastebuds,Pineapple Sheera met our eyes.It was slightly disappointing for me to see that instead of pineapple cubes,the chef has made a short cut by pouring pineapple syrup in it !! Well,it not only changed its flavour drastically but also shook its after-taste in mouth.The overall experience of eating out and exploring new outlet was good and worth trying once.One can definitely experience simplicity of food,hotel,service in Simply Saraswat.
