Savour Foods

Hailing from a family that is notoriously famous for its excellent home made cooking (I am sure my foreign friends will testify to that) I was, is the first person to drift away from the home made delicacies to experiment on the food at the fancy restaurants, cafes and the desi restaurants. In my journey I discovered some excellent places to eat and on occasions paid a jaw dropping amount of bills pursuing my endeavors.

However, today I’d like to write about a restaurant which offers a lot of quantity and qua… well let’s just stick to quantity at a very reasonable price. Savour Foods Pulao Kebab has literally just one thing on the menu as every other thing they introduce fails miserably.

What started out as a humble place on college road offering cheap pulao for students and working people turned out to be the biggest revenue generator in the food and beverages industry of the twin cities. Now operating through four branches Savour by par is the most famous place for a quick meal among students. I bet there is very little number of people who have never been there or have never eaten pulao of Savour.

So what makes the very simple dish like a pulao so successful on a commercial scale? Well it’s a sum of number of factors. One the price, two the quantity, three the provision to get extra rice and curd at no extra cost. What more does an empty belly want.

Yet there are cons to this establishment. The biggest of them is that you have to share tables with random people. Sometimes you end up sitting next to a tableghi dude who starts his lecture at the spot. Once I sat next to this old timmer who was telling everyone his love story.

Yet no matter what time you go to Savour the place is crowded. On occasions I have waited for as long as 15 minutes to get a table.

So if you’re short of cash and want to eat out. Savour is the place to be.
