SUKH SAGAR, CHOWPATTY

Totally contrary to what the name suggests, this place gave me too much “dukh” the last time I visited it. And it was a rude shock from a place like Sukh Sagar which is known to almost all the Mumbaikars. And just so that we don’t miss a point here , we have visited this place n number of times and we have never been let down ever; no matter what food we have had : pav bhaji, Chinese , south indian or north indian. And if I mention the dishes we had ordered it might shock you as well.

We started with something very basic and frequently ordered, Chilli Paneer. The first bite was so savory we couldn’t stop talking about it for 2-5 minutes but as soon as we had our second bite our faces were like “ what are we eating” ? The paneer tasted disgusting and stale. So apparently what they did was topped the dish with 2-3 pieces of fresh paneer and used their stale paneer for the rest of it. Overlooking this disappointment we ordered Vegetable Monchow Noodles because the description said it has fresh vegetables and tangy sauces. And these noodles were actually hakka noodles with slices of tomatoes and peas. (Like seriously??) Who puts tomatoes and peas in Chinese? And after these 2 major disappointments we decided not to order anything else and just make our move but not before letting the staff know about this disaster. Guess what was their reply?? “Ma’am paneer jyada fry ho gaya hoga.” Whereas the paneer wasn’t actually fried at all!!!!!! Saying  no more we just paid the bill and left and decided let us have juice at the adjacent juice outlet of Sukh Sagar.

We reached Sukh Sagar Juice. We ordered for fresh fruit juices because we had no appetite left to experiment anything new and so decided to stick to regular option of Watermelon and Cocktail. Disappointment again…..the fruits were so stale we could actually smell that rotten thing and once again when we brought it to the notice of the staff they just rudely dismissed us saying “abhi abhi kata hai”

So, all we can say is Sukh Sagar which once used to be a gem of a place is going down the drain with bad food and all the more worst staff who can barely talk to the customers with some respect.

We have some photos to go with of the food and no photos of the juices because they weren’t worth making so many efforts.
