Ever since ashok, the guy who started it all – died , ashok meat quality has really gone down. my grandfather has two big houses there right next to the shop. As a kid every time i used to visit my grandpa ashok used to make the meat in the Mother Dairy booth opposite to his shop.

Next time you go there, try Madan Lal Halwai puris – the best that i have tasted anywhere in the world. time is 7AM to about 11AM.

LOL.. for each person waxing eloquent on a food joint, there is another spoilsport, who calls the joint overrated. Guess I belong to the latter category!! Main idhar jaun ya udhar jaun.. badi mushkil mein hoon ke kidhar jaun…

Went to Ashok & Ashok today.Finding the place is a herculian task as I had to park my car in CP and take an auto and reached there at 1 PM.. Only chicken curry was available as they make mutton only on Wednesday and Saturday and it gets over by 1.15 PM ( They open at 1pm). So its advisable to call them and request them to keep some for you till you reach there. Much has been written about the food here but it was a great disappointment.The chicken that I got ( Rs 125 for one plate) was probably one fourth piece of breast with hardly any meat on it. Sure it reeked of pure ghee but thats all. I would rate the dhabas at Shanker Market( Kaka, National,Bhapa) far superior than Ashok & Ashok, both in terms of taste and Quantity of the food that they give out.
This shack in Sadar Bazaar is just a hole in the wall joint and you have to stand on the pedestrian pavement and eat, the food is nothing to write home about.Someone somewhere mentioned that theis is the best meat he has had so far, pal, check out the Badaam pasandas at Jawahar,jama masjid.Korma at Nazeer foods Noida,then there is GMW and Rehmani at PC of course, not forgetting Puran Singh at Ambala.Shama at Haldwani ( Nainital). Thats what i call taste. A&A is nowhere in the league.

A few things to remember:

1. The mutton actually gets over in the first hour of sales.
2. TOO MUCH GHEE – expect to lose atleast 5 hours of life expectancy.
3. Ask for Thums Up with your food – the same attendant gets it for you.
4. tip – it might not be a bad idea to bribe the attendant, to ensure you dont die out of hunger.. or worse, all the food finishes right in front of your eyes.

Shail and Sandeep

PS. to soak in the ambience, take the tonga to the market.
