I was pretty bored and lazy today when I got up but I went to the temple and had my breakfast at 7 AM at Annapoorna Hotel which is next to Garnish,its a good place which serves a typical lunch with limited food. Anyways onto the review, I got hungry at 11:10 AM and well I decided that the best meal out there in Matunga where I live was at Rama Nayak Udipi, I reached there and climbed the stairs to the venue and I was happy that there were no que's at that time, it was 11:15 AM, I went to the counter and I bought a token for an unlimited meal. I took my token and sat at one of the seat, thankfully for me the rush had not started for the meals.
I opened the plaintain leaf and sprinkled water on it and cleaned it as per the tradition of a typical South Indian person, I was asked if I would rather have a thali but I wished to eat on the leaf. so hence I was waiting for the food to be served, in just a second every dish was on my leaf and I was ready to go, the chapati's were being made right then and there in the kitchen of which I had a view to, they came and served me 2 piping hot chapati's, the chapati's were so tasty to eat cos of it being made right then that I had 2 more chapati's and the serving ppl kept asking me if I wanted any more chapati's and I said no.
After having my fill of chapatis, I told them that I wanted rice. They brought the rice and it was hot and wholesome,i don't know how they get such soft rice but its good to have that. First I had dal and rice which is one of my favourites, then I asked for rasam as I had heard that rasam was the best there. I didn't eat sambhar today cos I didnt feel like it. They had a beetroot curry, a onion bhaji with some peas and one another dish which I couldnt make out. It was like a divine thing for me,its been like 7-8 years since I had last stepped into this place and needless to say,nothing has changed, everything is spick and span as it always was. Then after rasam,i had the curd rice and this was the time that I was full and yet I managed to eat curd rice as well.
I was asked which dessert I would like and since I like gulab jamuns the most,i went with that as dessert. It was really good and heavenly and after I had finished my whole meal, iwas full and it felt like that I couldn't walk but thankfully and god-willing I reached home at 11:45 which was due to me walking slowly due to the full meal I had.While I was coming out after my lunch,i saw that almost 10 ppl had reached there for lunch and they were waiting and in that time they were reading newspapers.
Truly a divine and heavenly experience.
