The menu at Mohalla Nights includes ghost-e-dum

It was at the age of 19, when Alka Bindra got married to Baba Siddique that she witnessed her first Ramzan at Mohammed Ali Road. For her, it was nothing short of a spectacle. "The first thing that struck me was, of course, the chaotic crowd. But what was enduring were the images of large cauldrons of endless rows of kebab and huge tawas churning out baida roti, chicken roll and tangdi kebab," says the wife of the former Bandra MLA, who prefers to be known as Alka Shehzeen Siddique. While the food is undeniably delicious, you can't vouch for the hygiene. "Over the years, the crowd has increased to the extent that in the rush to serve, cleanliness has taken a hit." Which is why, Siddique decided to introduce Mohalla Nights — a new initiative of her pop-up restaurant Café De Mom that will bring the flavours of Mohammad Ali Road on your plate through a home-cooked meal.
