| Only Parathas @ King's Circle |
I have to mention here that the same premises used to house New Yorker @ Matunga a little more than a year ago.

| Venkat looking kind of baffled at the paratha that had come highly recommended |
The ambience was good and the restaurant was fairly crowded at 9.45 pm when we reached there. It was later that we realised that this was probably more because Matunga has very few restaurants open after 10 pm than because the food was great.
The menu has a humongous range of parathas besides other dishes such as snack items; rice items and more. We can choose the combinations of ingredients that go into the parathas in a style similar to that of choosing pizza toppings. So far, so good!

| Paratha with gobi, cheese, etc filling |
The waiter recommended a paratha with gobi filling along with cheese and one more item, I fail to recall. It was served hot along with a helping of raita, rajma and chole. It was the most horrible paratha that I have ever tasted in my life. To begin with, it was badly cooked. A paratha should be crisp, flaky and melt-in-the-mouth. This was like chewing on a piece of rubber. The filling was just ‘okay’.

| The one with peas, onions & cheese filling |
Before this paratha came to our table, I had already placed an order for another paratha with peas, onions and cheese filling. This paratha filling was slightly better than the first one while it was as badly cooked as the first one.
 |
| Vegetable Biryani |
The raita that came along was very good while the chole and rajma were extremely mediocre.
Finally, we decided to have a vegetable biryani. This was not as bad as the parathas but I have tasted way better.

All in all, a THUMBS DOWN for the eating experience at Only Parathas @ King’s Circle – a total disappointment.
Address: Shop No 471, Radha Bhavan, Adenwala Road, Kings Circle, Matunga, Mumbai

I recovered from the trauma by making my own paneer-gobi parathas at home the very next evening.

Higly arrogant staff, with worst food ever had. Tottally unhygenic with cockroaches in it. On asking for a replacement the Manager of the hotel argues and insults the customer.
