As the holy month of Ramzan nears its end, The Asian Age looks at the most popular hotspot in the city — the famed Mohammad Ali Road — that has become a food haven for hungry Mumbaikars.
During Ramzan, people from all walks of life converge at Mohammad Ali Road in south Mumbai to binge on the various delicacies that are prepared and served over the duration of 30 days. Both the young and old, make it a point to visit Mohammadali Road at least once to partake in the lip-smacking fare that is dished out there.
Apart from the common mutton and chicken delicacies, the venue also serves some exotic dishes like patridge and fowls.
For those inclined to indulge their sweet tooth, there are firnis, malpuas, and other sweet dishes that one can dig into during this period.
The venue comes to life soon after sundown and remains an avenue of undescribable hustle bustle till upto 4 am in the morning.
These pictures bring to life the very imagery that is brought on by the sea of visitors thronging the area, the people who cook the myriad delicacies, the glistening lights that shine throughout the night, and the sheer joy of a late iftar with friends and family.
