Shobha’s

I recently made plans to visit Shobha’s which is located on the first floor at star city, next to the VUE cinema. I was mega excited, as it is a pure vegetarian restaurant… which basically means no meat, no fish, no eggs, and no alcohol… which is perfect for me!
They describe themselves as serving authentic Gujarati street food, i’m a fan of monkey raja’s and the like so i was really looking forward to it.
However i was left really disappointed! Me and my sister ordered a pau bhaji and a paneer dosa to share between us. The pau bhaji tasted very powdery and really did not look all that appealing… in fact i would go so far as to say it is probably the worst pau bhaji i have ever tasted!
The paneer dosa on the other hand looked awesome! The inside looked beautiful with the paneer and mustard seeds, it was served with a coconut dip and some sort of soup. However it actually tasted really bland, and slightly charred, the only reason i finished it was because i don’t like to see food wasted, and my sister refused to eat another bite. I’ve never tried a dosa before and probably won’t be trying one again.
The coca cola bottle i ordered fizzed everywhere upon opening and ruined our clothes! So all in all it was a bit of a disaster.
The only saving grace was that the staff were really friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and decorated well.
