Bombay Club, Dhan Mill, Chattarpur

Bombay Club is located close to the Colocal Café at the Dhan Mill Compound, Chattarpur. Its ambience is soothing with lots of white. The skylights and the use of mirrors gives the place an expansive, spacious vibe. The cane furniture is right at home, and you can get seating near a power plug. Just in case you need to work with a laptop or on the phone and need the charging point.


The service is full marks at Bombay Club. Aakash, who served us, pampered us well, with each request followed. He also helped with the right recommendations and was extremely patient while we decided which food to order. The variety is wide. The management has curated the best and most famous foods from across Mumbai. Somewhat reminded me of Bombay Sandwich Company, another Mumbai food-centric eatery at Cross Point Mall, Gurgaon, which I think has shuttered down, unfortunately. Personally, I don't like the QR code menus in vogue today, so I liked it how they had put up a blackboard with the specials and a detailed paper menu for reference. Old fashioned, yes, but convenient much. 


Coming back to food, the chefs at Bombay Club have not tampered a lot with the traditional Mumbai cuisine. They have instead chosen to perfect the original styles and have been quite successful in their endeavours. For example, the Sev Puri is always a delight to eat. I prefer a non spicy version and the staff got me one without the chillies. 


My favourite was the Baida Roti. Stuffed with ample meat, flaky and crisp yet not a touch of oil on this fried dish. Served with mint chutney and onion salad, this one is a delight to eat. They also cook up this interesting prawn dish they call Kolmi Fry. Prawns are fit into onions and fried for that amazing crunch. The Koli masala adds a distinct flavour to this dish.


Mumbai food obviously reminds us of Parsi delicacies. One such dish on the menu at Bombay Club is the Mawa Cake. It is served with rose and pistachio ice cream.


For drinks, we enjoyed the thick classic cold coffee and the grapefruit cooler. This outlet currently does not serve alcohol. But their food could be well paired with a glass of wine or a pint of beer.

Seating tip: If weather permits, pick up a seat outside if there are just two of you. If you are going in a group, pick a large table at the back of the eatery.

PS: This outlet does levy a service charge of 10 percent.

A convenient location for laid back food and conversations. Especially if people from Gurgaon and South Delhi are looking for a mid meeting point.

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a world so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude. It was a crisp day in Havenwood, and the sky was brooding—dark clouds laced with impatient energy before a thunderstorm, as if even the heavens felt the town’s growing melancholy. It was not the kind of town you would expect to be cloaked in loneliness. Stone cottages lined the narrow, winding roads, and the trees had that sage-like stillness that you only see in stories and dreams. I hadn’t been here long when the problem struck me like a slap in the face: everyone was obsessed with finding The One, as if every single person was but half a person, wandering through life like a lost sock in search of its pair. How did a town ...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
