Vidya Balan gets restaurant to put her favourite dish back on the menu

So taken in is Vidya Balan by a particular dish at her favourite Bandra restaurant that she compelled the owners of the place to bring it back on the menu after it was dropped.



Says a source close to the Paa actress, "Vidya is very fond of the cracked wheat ragu on the menu at Farhan Azmi's restaurant in Bandra. When she comes there the staff knows exactly what to get for her.

But in the last six months, she got so busy shooting for her films that she didn't find the time to visit the place.

When she came back last week she was informed that her favourite dish was taken off the menu. It is a vegetarian dish made of cracked wheat and spinach and is very healthy.



Few people order it as it requires an acquired taste. During Balan's regular patronage, it was customary in her order. When she heard it wasn't there she insisted that it be brought back and now the dish is back on the menu."

Farhan says, "Vidya is a very sweet girl and my wife Ayesha and I are both like her. We had discontinued the cracked wheat ragu but bought it back because of Vidya.

She loves it. For regulars like Vidya, Ranbir Kapoor, Yuvraj Singh, Salman and Sohail Khan we make food as per their liking like we don't sell pre-decided pasta but the diner gets to choose everything from the dressing to the sauce and vegetables."
