The group of 9 friends went on a food walk through Bohri Mohalla in Mumbai. They stopped at several restaurants and shops along the way to sample local specialties like mutton bhuna boti, bheja fry, baida roti, mutton rolls, khichra, kebabs from the Haji Barbecue, and sweet treats like jalebi and malai khaja. The walk allowed them to enjoy both savory street foods and sweets while catching up with each other along the way.

the Mumbai Rolls are quite similar to the Chinese Spring rolls. This is while Kurush talks about how this
Mohalla has a development plan and perhaps these shops might just close down.
