January 2008 | Issue VII (M)

Welcome to the January issue of the burrp! newsletter, plugged-in! Bring in the new year with some facinating insights on what makes our lovely city what it is!

Call us Mumbaikars, call us Bombayites. The true foodies that we are, we wouldn't mind treading from vada pao stalls to sushi bars, local chaiwallahs to the upscale new wine bar, roadside sev puris to the emaculate lounge that serves world cuisine. A perfect night out to us means partying hard at China House or Poison and then ending up at a bhurjee or pav bhaji stall in a quaint alley somewhere. There is no doubting the fact that this sort of a culture curry is hard to find anywhere in the world. This issue of plugged-in is dedicated to the true spirit of Mumbai and the BIG foodie in all of us!

smashed on burrp!

Lake View Cafe

For serving pathetic roadsideish food to chirag_09 and 'luring people under the guise of the other brilliant restaurants in the same hotel.'

The Ghetto

For their inhospitability and arrogance towards trosun2000 and for charging 20% extra on credit card bills!!!

24/7 Coffee Shop

For their joke of a service, shameful setup, serving curdled milk and then arguing with surdattack as if its all his fault!!!

Lemon Grass

For bad management, urorganized and demotivated staff and for serving wrong orders to shahsa

Pizza Hut

For sloppy service, a strand of hair in Grunthor's food and no apologies even after all that!

Hard Rock Cafe

For confirming Gaurav's order a ton of times and still messing it up completely plus giving him a fake sorry!

Cafe Penne

For serving shrenik91 pizzas as if they were rotis with toppings and for the rude staff
