As a kid i use to go with papa an eat mava cake an makroom cake.... Miss those days...

[@jayihsan3532]

Alka, you're one of the best food reviewers I've come across. You speak of not dipping butter bread in tea to not spoil the tea's taste. And like I do when I can't finish all the food, you too were comfortable taking the balance home. Whether you eat it later or share with the homeless or street/community animals is your choice but it's your humility that is laudable. Thank you.-

[@explorewithalka]

So nice of you to acknowledge and share your thoughts. Thank you

[@rajeshmallaya9275]

Wow wow ohh my god 30 saal pahle main ek mere friend ankul they jo mujhe merwans me lekar jaathe they phir se wo seating place aur wo table dekh kar bahut accha laga. My favourite mawa cake and omlet pav thanks dear

Respected madam, You have refreshed my old memories with my father I used to visit this place. Thank you very much.

[@explorewithalka]

[@Wolf29977]

Loved it, loved it, loved it. I previously used to conduct women security program across MAHARASHTRA, whenever I had to lecture at SOPHIA 's I used to go to B.MERWAN 's and used to have my breakfast and then I used to go to the west side and take a taxi. Same with KIRTI COLLEGE used to carry those VADAPAAVS home, at that time I used to stay at KALYAN.

[@explorewithalka]

Thank you

[@agasheparag8382]

I think this is the iconic place not only in mumbai in india. Simply super 👌

[@mumbhaibhai4392]

There is a small shop in Grant Road known as Persian. They have the best Mawa Cake in Mumbai. They come in a very unusual shape of a glass. I think by afternoon they get over. There is a Bata shoes showroom opposite. It's a must try if you like good Mawa Cake

[@explorewithalka]

Yeah have heard abt the glass shaped Mawa cake....will try it soon

[@mumbhaibhai4392]

B. Merwans Mawa Cake is must try! Must mention about the vada Pav/ Bhaji Pav opposite B. Merwans. Actually right outside platform no. 4! The chutney is mind blowing! Must try!

[@nivan231]

had butter bread, keema, french toast, burji etc at nearby small joints and restaurants and had loved the taste everytime.. we used to visit early morning 4:30-5:30 am.. even that Irani restaurant at saat raasta, loved that a lot, specially the tea

[@explorewithalka]

There are quite a few Irani restaurants nearby and at B. Merwan's, the best thing that I love is the eggless mava cake. Also Jam puff and Mawa puff too. Watch part 1 on my channel if you haven't yet for detailed review kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYXVdaNrp6dpZsU

[@desaidhirajlal945]

Alka, you really choose a very good destination. In my life I have also gone to Grant Road Irani Restaurant many times. The Parsee food is always very delicious and pure as the Parsee community is. Try some time Dhanshak Bhaat and pudding oat Parsee Restaurant or Hotel. You will really enjoy their non veg items also. Jay Hind Vande Mataram.

[@explorewithalka]

Yes even I like a few things on their menu. I have covered Cafe Military and Cafe Goodluck too on my channel. Here's the link to the videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/pojJqJmMg9CJaNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/npXYmnifo7qpadE I am sure you will enjoy watching

[@spiritualmakarand6468]

I have always liked and loved Irani brunmaska and tea. Their interior is very unique. The round tables and those typical chairs and their counter. Great .

[@explorewithalka]

Classic

[@kaushikbrahmbhatt7572]

It's superb eatery in very reasonable price and super quality of each n products. # 1 in Mava cake is B Merwan Grant Road n #2 is Kayani Bakery in Pune. Whenever you are making a video of Pune don't forget about Kayani Bakery which is also famous for its Mava cake n susberry cookies. Your all vedios are very good and informative about eateries. Best of luck.

[@mumbhaibhai4392]

One important thing to note at B. Merwans is that they serve the Omelette without salt. So it's a put off when you take the first bite! You are supposed to sprinkle salt and pepper. So please politely request the waiter to add salt while making the Omelette! The half fry is excellent over here! Sunny side up I mean

[@lesliesequeira635]

What timing would you recommend visiting this iconic outlet? Heard they sell out some of their items ASAP

[@explorewithalka]

Yes that's correct. Ideally you should visit before 10am if you want to taste any particular stuff as it is likely to be available that time otherwise you'll have to take a chance. I wanted to eat their khari and jam puff but it was already over by 11am

[@explorewithalka]

Do try the Mawa cake and Mawa puff and let me know whether you enjoyed eating

[@ramasamant3870]

Good news 😃

[@mumbhaibhai4392]

Why no one mentions about the plum cake at B. Merwans! The waiters over there call it kala cake!

[@explorewithalka]

It is usually available on orders only I think. Haven't seen there

[@mumbhaibhai4392]

@@explorewithalka No. It's always available. It's right there on the right side counter between the Pavs and the bunch of Mawa Cake! It's kept in the tray...sliced! The best part is, it's available in slices. Whenever you order tell the waiter...arre bhai 2 piece kala cake dena!

[@explorewithalka]

Will surely try the kala cake next time 😀

[@abbasalichinikamwalla7958]

What wrong they are doing, is that they are serving their foods items in one time use plates/vessels which is against international/BMC rules. They can't use this because such usage is increasing environmental thrash and pollution. This has gone unnoticed by authorities that they are violating laws....😬

[@faizinamdar6201]

Quality very poor ,wrong review,went after seeing your review 2 place and big let down,mawa cakes were horrible .please give honest comments

[@explorewithalka]

I have been having their mawa cakes since childhood and we absolutely love them. You can also go through the comments from other viewers. Its a matter of individual choice. If I don't like a dish, we edit it out from the video or give it a low rating.
