Funny Indian Restaurant Menu Typos




Would you eat at a restaurant offering "1 Bowel  of Sambar" or an "Anguish Burger"? The British left us the English language and its been murdered by many but probably the restaurant industry has really killed it over and over again. I am not sure why this happens but its very common to find typos in the menus of Indian restaurants all over the world and some of its makes for very funny reading. In this article we present some funny ones that we have come across like

  1. The Bombay Anguish Burger
  2. A Bowel of Sambar
  3. Lamb, Chicken and Seafood Entries and possibly the most famous of them all
  4. Sandwhich or Sandwitch 


 Whats the funniest you have come across? Please share it with us or leave it in the comments section.

In this part of our website, we explore foods from around the world. We get to travel to some other parts of the world or sample different cuisines around where we live. We will share some of the experiences with you. 

In this section of our website, we will try and uncover the stories behind some of the popular kebabs available today. Many kebabs have interesting stories about their origins, many of which relate to royalty. 

Mumbai is one of the greatest cities in the world and thousands move into the city everyday. Over the history of the city, these immigrants have had tremendous influence on the food of the city. You can find all kinds of cuisine in Mumbai but there are some things that are very Mumbai in nature and this section of the website tries to look at the food items that define Mumbai. Having spent my early life in Mumbai, the thought of many of these items make my mouth drool. Many of these items are now available elsewhere but there's no better place than the streets of Mumbai to have this.

We hope you enjoy this new section and if you have any ideas on things to add, please let us know.

India is a very diverse country with a long history. Over the years, India has been influenced by almost all cultures, religions and countries. India has a number of holidays during the year and each one of them is partly defined by the food that is prepared for that event. The Muslims make biryani and kebabs during the Ramadan and Eid festivals. The Hindu community prepares sweets and other snacks during Diwali, Dussera and other festivals.  In this section of our website, we explore the various festival foods of India.
