Byculla's persian darbar

Under the Byculla bridge where traffic doesn't stop and people keep pushing each other either to reach the station or make way for people carrying good on their head or carts. The areas is highly populated as on one side is the mustafa bazaar, second it the byculla municipal market and the railway station. Between the two is Persian Darbar. A highly specialised mughali resto which serves authentic full of great taste food.
The ground plus mezzanine floor resto has several compartments for large groups and families, they even have a sitting section for people who prefer to sit and eat.
For food if you happen to visit it is a must must to eat Chicken crispy, its with shezwan sauce and then move on to their tandoori..If you have the time and space in your stomach and more important people with a good appetite then  try their Ran Biryani it comes in one big plate with a lot of lamb and biryani rice. Its a feast the attendants understand if you call for it. The number of people visiting with you at Persian is more important the more the better you feel after leaving the place. As you would have eaten a lot and tried almost all their special dishes. In main course again a must is to have their daal ghosh or dabba ghosh, the place confirms that mutton is a royal dish and only few places can cook it well. After eating the sumptuous and fantastic food served at Persian, in case you have space in your tummy or want to test your limits then visit the Gupta Ice cream centre near the Sales tax office to enjoy the best malai kulfi and butter scotch candy.

PS: It feels that mutton is not not unhealthy after eating at Persian Darbar.
