Mohammed Ali Road Mumbai

"A very popular place during Ramadan to try the special dishes that are generally not available throughout the year! Hygiene is a big issue, especially during weekends. However there are some really great options to try when here. The Dal Khichda from Keshodwala Food corner along with their Galouti kebabs, Sweets from ZamZam Sweets and Malpua Rabdi from Tawakkal Sweets and Suleman Usman Bakery are a must try. For hard core non vegetarians, please try the Batair Tandoori (Quail) from Mashallah Restaurant right in the middle of the street. Another must try is the Mutton Haleem from a smaller but crowded food stall a little ahead of Mashallah Restaurant called the Hyderabadi Badami Haleem stall. Other options available that will not upset your stomach are the baida rotis, bheja fry, liver fry, chaaps, seekh kebabs, etc. but those are available on almost all food stalls laid out there and elsewhere in Mumbai. Another special item to try is the Sandal, a sweet dish made of khoya/maava. The firni also is especially available during these weeks. Halva paratha are also available but are not recommended from here due to hygiene issues. The costs are really nominal like ₹50 for Dal Khichda, ₹150 for Haleem, ₹50 for 3-4 pieces of Galouti Kebabs, and so on. The most expensive dish was the Batair Tandoori at Mashallah. Lot of other takeaways too from clothes, toys, Islamic materials, shoes, etc. Also there are Ittr and Perfume shops everywhere. A must not miss is the "Mohabbat wala Sharbat", a cool and refreshing Watermelon-Rose Milk-Sabza based drink that is a commonly spotted item everywhere. Travelling to this lane could be quite tedious and no taxis risk going into this zone during Ramadan, so recommend to take your own vehicles since even Ola/Uber rides cancel due to frustrating traffic. No taxis are ready to take you back to even 2-3 stations away and drop you. It's a fun place for every food lover and explorer at once during this season, only if you are ok with management amongst chaos! 😁"

"Best place for Non-veg and dessert lovers. Best time to visit during Ramzan to try the best dessert and variety of non veg food. A must try is the Rabdi jalebi in the dessert. It is crowded most of the time and is near to Sandhurst railway station."
