Nearly two weeks back on the Saturday night, the three of us (me, dAs and Murti) had a weird get-together. I was sitting at my home in front of my lovely computer (*kiss* *kiss*) and trying to put an end to my thesis when i received a call from dAs. On receiving it, it was revealed on me that he was right here in the neighborhood and wants to see me. I had the hint that’s its gonna be a fun filled evening so i hopped out of my home to greet him.
He said "lets go", I said "lets go". and we started off in his car.
Reached the home of the legendary killer and picked him too. By that time we were indecisive about the place where we needed to go. Since we mutually agreed to spend some money and after a joint consensus we realized that we have been too big a losers to go to any expensive and classy place, we thought about Arizona Grill but time was limited and we were a bit extra cautious about the bill that might await us there, just in an instance I mentioned that we are standing in front of another American Style Grill place and still deciding and thus we decided to enter into a new place called ‘Roasters Grill and Coffee’.
As we entered the place, we knew we were at an alien place. The atmosphere was quite unlike the crowded and humming and buzzing places we usually go to. So, we were not sure where to head after entering. A waiter guided us upstairs and we were seated. I took a look around, there were lots of people there – mostly young couples. There was one big family with kids too, but we three were the only dude party in the place. That surely made us the ‘odd one out’ and an object of curious glances too. Perhaps that place was not meant for us to go 🙂
When presented with a menu, we had no clue what to eat. All items carried an unfamiliar name. I looked at my friend with an empty glance, and he looked back to me in a similar fashion. We all knew we had to eat a steak, BUT WHICH STEAK? With a little help from the guy serving us, we decided to get separate steaks for the main course but chose another alien name as appetizer. After the order, all was left to do was to look around and wait.
The order was served in 20 minutes, but first with appetizers. They were something made of chicken… something long … something crispy. I had already forgotten the name. I said to my buddy, Seems like they chopped someone’s dick off and fried it :P… Lets call it Fried Dicks.
"Hey, it even has cream in it", A friend mentioned and we all giggled.
After eating our ‘fried crispy dicks’, we were served our steaks. I had ordered a pepper steak, other guys had ordered mushroom steak and some chicken steak respectively. We wrestled with the meat and slowly devoured our meal which we knew would significantly lighten our wallets. The steaks were served with a baked potato with some filling in it. Justice was served to that potato as well.
So, when we had had our dinner, we asked the waiter to get us the bill, We were charged an amount of 450 per head. (I forgot to mention that we had ordered a special deal for each of us. The Ala carte stuff was even more expensive).
So, after relieving ourselves off our hard earned money, we decided to have a dessert at some pie shop. We went to the nearest outlet of ‘Pie in the Sky’ and got ourselves some yummy dessert. which cost additional 50 rupees a person.
So, after filling our tummy the American style, we headed home with the promises to each other that we shall see each other very soon (considering our busy nature, that very soon is still months away)
So, in the end I would surely recommend you go to Roasters and enjoy some good food over there. Don’t forget to take your date over there coz i believe thats what they use that place for. Try their ‘Fried dicks’ as the appetizer and for main course choose from a variety of items. They also serve some great desserts, though we didn’t try it, but you can.
Have fun 🙂
