I believe all have seen a glimpse of the previous Dhaba Hunt. The purpose of this G2G is to go in search of a dhaba on a Highway/Main Road/Street/Gully etc in search for good food/decent place and value for money.
Ya Ya we are like the show on NDTV Good times:Highway on my plate.

Prelude:

• Motionfreak is a guy who loves to ride in the night and given an option he will only ride in the night with the truckers (God only knows why?)

• Santosh Xtra: He was the guy whom i met almost a year back and i am probably responsible for his happy married life (). He is a good friend and probably the one who either slept on the pavement outside his building yesterday night or on the sofa (it was too late and wify had told him to stay out and need not come home)...hahaha

• Lukha category: Rest of us. Surprisingly my mom called and asked me to be home at 2:00 am and Rossi father yelled at him at 1:00 am...

The time decided was 7:30 pm and at Eternity Mall Thane where all were suppose to join. Chetan had some classes in Thane and he was riding a pillion to anyone of us.
Motionfreak arrived and then within a span of 15-20 minutes all were there except for MotoB and Razor.
While waiting we caught up with Ujwal(2write) and Anup(BB) who had planned a Nightride to Mahabaleshwarvia Wai Route and return back the same route. Spoke to them for a couple of minutes befrore they left.
We waited patiently till 9:30 for them and they arrived soon
Rode on NH3 and stopped over at the above mentioned Dhaba
The ride was a pleasant one as we were riding at 70kmph and in a well organized way. It hardly took us 45 minuted to reach the Dhaba.

Return:
Sumit and Chetan had come from Panvel and had to leave early as Sumits parents were waiting for him to be back for dinner.
Shiva found an ideal excuse to ride back with them.
I couldnt stop Santoshxtra for obvious reason.
I reached back home at 2:00 am as Mom called.
Rest of the gang: probably rode to Shirdi


Place Visited: Chatrapati Dhaba on NH3
It is exactly 25 kms from Thane on NH3. Just when the 4 Lane higway breaks into the 2 Lane highway and ahead of the Indian Oil Petrol Pump.

Food: We had ordered chicken and some lasooni chana as startets and butter chicken and Roti for dinner.

Drinks: Old Monk and Kingfisher Mild was an adultrated drink. Only th foster and Kingfisher Strong was drinkable.
So most of them drank the Foster and KF Strong.
Largely nobody drank much the only reason being the Adulterated drink.The Dhaba gives the option of choosing the live chicken and they cook it for you. Almost felt like a good thing but we couple of us went and saw the chicken being slautered.

Starters: Chicken Lamba, Chicken Chilly, Chicken Tandori, Chicken Liver Pota, Chana LasooniWell they were just edible for the stomach.

Ate and Drank as usual. It was getting late for all the guys especially Santosh Extra and Sumit so they parted ways with Shadab and Chetan and Shiva.

Rossi, motionfreak razor,motorB and I were still thinking of riding to nearby place and spending some time there. Malshej was the ideal location as it was just about 70kms and good roads.

12:30 We decided to ride and we were riding on NH3 and after 5 kms we stopped and Motionfreak came up with the idea of riding to Shiridi and my Mom called.

I returned back and the other guys road to Shiridi.

Verdict:
Food: 1.5 /5
Drinks:1 /5
Value for money: 1 /5 (the rates are exorbitantly high and the total ran upto 2175 Rs/-)
