Think Cha'at



Kailash Parbat. Does it sound familiar? Indeed it is one of the famed Mumbai Chaat places that we have loved and longed for in Chennai. Nestled in a quiet corner of the Harrington road, Kailash Parbat boasts of serving a variety of authentic north-Indian cuisines, and a one-stop shop for yummy chaats, baturas, paneer tikkas and ice-cream sodas.

Many might not know how famous Kailash Parbat is though they just have begun their innings here in Chennai, their first in South-India. Its supposedly one of the most crowded and awesomest (couldn’t help for the adjective used – means most awesome) place back in Mumbai. Their crisp and crunchy pani puris out there are one of the yummiest in town. Dhahi Puri was just too good, Chaat Platter beats its taste and most of the baturas which their menu card boasts of go well with.

It seemed like the ideal place for lunch. Not many people were around me when I went, though I could smell some business meetings on. The restaurant manager, Mr. Vijesh Menghani said they expect a crowd of about 200-250 on weekdays and about 300-400 on weekends. It is so deliciously cosy that you can almost forgive the slow service.

I should say KP (Kailash Parbat) is not the fast food joint kind rather their Menu is so very big that it keeps going on and on and you really are struck with awe as of what to order. But, right from authentic Chinese, European, to the north-Indian, Sindhi, chaats everything is available. So if you are sick and tired of the plain old butter naan and paneer butter masala in the name of north Indian cuisine, this is exactly the place you should go to!

We started off with their authentic Dhahi Puri and Pani Puri, slowly shifted gears to their Veg O Veg sizzler and the European sizzler – plump niblets of corn sitting pretty on a sea of tomatoes and onions and a bed of French fries and noodles. Topped with some cauliflower, spaghetti and broccoli, a squeeze of lime and multitudinous chutneys, it set the mood for things to come.

Next on menu was the main course with the salt and pepper vegetable and a little later came in the baturas, one of the best I have ever had in Chennai. They can be juxtaposed to the ones being done in the north of India. With creamy cheese that oozes out of a crisp golden batura, spicy and piquant channa, a pickled mirchi and some salted onions, could one genuinely want more? The main course ceased with a watermelon fresh juice. The very look of the way the fresh juices or mocktails were presented can attract anybody. Way too good. The ambiance here might well set the mood to feast on their varieties of cuisines; exceptionally cosy. Good management and respect to the customers without burning a hole in their wallets.. ofcourse!
