As you sit down to take in the sights -- a police van, prison cells, prisoners roaming loose and jailers taking down orders -- the treat at The Jail has just begun. Staring down at you from the walls are pictures of Bollywood villains who managed to evade the jail.u00a0
This is one place where the police will always rush to help you -- be it for deciding the menu or suggesting some chef's specials. One such dish being the lasooni yellow dal. It originated when the chef told its directors Amit Bhojwani and Gaurav Wadhwan to pick up any four ingredients. They chose lasoon (garlic), palak (spinach), yellow dal (toor dal) and spices, the result being the must-taste dal.
The soy chicken, mutton gosht and chicken biryani too are on the most wanted list. Continental food lovers are sure to reach nirvana with herb lobster, chicken barbeque with fried rice on a hot plate, shell crabs in a tangy sauce and pasta choices to suit individual taste buds.
The Andheri West eatery is already a ladies favourite for kitty parties, especially on the weekends when there is an in house DJ. And with the cricket fever on an all-time high, The Jail has special offers (unlimited beer per match at Rs 550 and unlimited beer + snacks per match at Rs 1200), teamed with the added attraction of watching your favourite teams on the big screen. So head to The Jail this weekend or get ready to be thrown behind bars!
