Dear Folks!

THE GREAT SAASUMA!!

Recently in Surat I visited a restaurant by the above name. Saasuma. What an amazing place to serve Guj Thali. They serve only Thali. It is 120/- per person.

As soon as you are seated you will be server a jeera chiller. You have to drink it to enjoy what follows

A round plate with 6 katoris. four for four different side dishes(one with kala channa, one with bataka(potato), one with paneer and one with mixed veg. Then one cup with kheer, another cup for dhaal or kadi. A tumbler is filled with butter milk.

you get a small bonda and dhokla. and here you go. now no looking up or wasting your time.The rendezvous has begun. you just cannot count how many rotis you ate or how many cups of kheer you gulped. you keep drinking chaas buttermilk in between.you will feel like you are attending a family lunch because of the service. It is amazing to note that the waiters use only symbols and code numbers to fill our plate. then follows khichdi with ghee. what a food and what a service.

SAASUMA BANGAYI MERI MA!
