There is literally a 200m radius in Yari Road a small stretch at the back end of Versova in Andheri West that provides a cheap though not exactly healthy source of sustenance for local denizens strapped for cash The options range from humble sitdown restaurants to street stalls that have people gathering in hordes for a bite at night Some of these places have kebabs that patrons order on such a regular basis that the eatery is able to sustain itself thus making it a symbiotic relationship between establishment and customer Here are four of the best options which offer a range of kebabs that are priced below Rs 200 One in fact is as cheap as Rs 16The power of oneSS Kebab paoThis humble stall is bang opposite Yari Chote Miyan and serves one thing only mdash buff tikkis sandwiched in a pao with onions and green chutney Watching the tikkis being fried in a pool of reused oil might give you a heart attack But what can you expect when the dish is priced at 16 which is literally cheaper than peanuts This is definitely not a place for people who are healthconscious But the tikkis are good enough to tingle the taste buds of those who are broke and canrsquot afford much elseTime 4 pm to 11 pmAt Opposite 7 Yari Road near Vimla Hospital Zohra Agadi Nagar Versova Andheri WestSeekh and you shall findBuff seekh kebab with parathaRamzan is possibly the best time to order fare from Seekh Paratha Inn because they put up stalls in front of the shop that serve dishes outside of the menu like khichda and mutton paya Otherwise their signature dish is whatrsquos on the label mdash seekh kebab and paratha We get the buff version that costs Rs 100 and is nonoily flavourful and you probably guessed it cheap Their nihari is not halfbad either for the price Rs 100 for half a portion Seekh Paratha InnTime 11 am to 130 pmAt Mangal Orchid Versova Andheri WestCall 9167619726Caters to allChicken tikkaYari Chote Mian is a streetside eatery thatrsquos slapbang in the middle of Yari Road It opens in the evening and offers stuff like chicken and buff tawa pulao baida roti and bhuna roll The kebabs depend on what meat they sourced for the day though chicken seekh and tikka kebab priced at Rs 160 each are a constant very rarely they even have mutton khiri finding which is like looking for a needle in a haystack in most of Mumbai The place is frequented by both single folk and families out for a cheap meal togetherTime 4 pm to 11 pmAt 7 Yari Road near Vimla Hospital Zohra Agadi Nagar Versova Andheri WestServing succulenceTandoori chickenDonrsquot order the gravy dishes from Yari Zaika a place that has attained legendary status in the area Having them is akin to having a bath in oil But the kebabs they offer are the real deal The chicken reshmi option has hefty pieces of meat that are soft and creamy The tikka has a malai version yoursquod rarely find elsewhere But we get tandoori chicken another classic The hallmark of a good tandoori chicken is the black charred bits that coat the meat and the one at Yari Zaika fulfils that criteria Sometimes they do get it wrong though because the dish turns out to be too dry But at other times you might want to write a letter to them thanking them for the succulence and for the price itrsquos at which is Rs 190 itrsquos worth taking the riskYari ZaikaTime 1230 pm to 12 amAt 242D Yari Road Jeet Nagar Versova Andheri WestCall 8452007030
