For the milestone twentieth episode of the Adventures of Cheap Beer, podcasters and dive bar regulars Karan Agarwal and Siddhant Mehta took along their friend, advertising professional Karl Bharucha, to Raj in Chembur. The third member of the tippler trio Suyash Barve was conspicuous by his absence. On the podcast, Agarwal, Mehta and Bharucha discuss why Barve is MIA and introduce a section about the show’s new producer Vageesh Bhan. They also talk about their visit to Raj, which Mehta told us a little about:
“The first impression we got of Raj restaurant was not by seeing it but by smelling its wonderful tandoori dishes while we were down the street. The kebabs did not disappoint and we ate till we were stuffed. But we didn’t love all the strangely-named Chinese starters. Raj is quite roomy, so you won’t have trouble finding a table at all. After Lamba, it’s another great drinking option for Chembur residents, .”
