Unless you’ve been living under a rock, it’s unlikely that you wouldn’t have enjoyed a sizzler at Fort’s iconic Fountain Sizzlers, especially if you’re a millennial and a boomer. For 32 years and counting, this popular destination has been dishing out sizzlers, along with sandwiches and light grub, retaining its flavours through nostalgia and quality.

Amrish Arora was all of 25 when he started Fountain Sizzlers. He recognised its potential where it could maintain a balance between Continental and French cuisines. “The sizzler was an instant hit because Indians want their food served garam-garam,” says Arora, who over the years, has opened multi-cuisine eatery, Flamboyante, Boardwalk by Flamboyante in Mandwa, a cocktail bar Hammer & Song, along with a full-fledged catering company. In recent times, his sons Ayush, 28, and Aryan, 23, joined the business to keep food stories relevant to the present-day eaters.
