Marz-O-Rin
When it comes to sandwiches and thick shakes there is only one place we all can think about and that’s Marz-O-Rin. This place located in the heart of city offers healthy snacks for food lovers. Many of us have grown up gorging on the veg and non- veg delicacies it serves.
Marz-O-Rin is located in a heritage building which is over 100 years. The snack parlour was established in the building in 1965 by Mr. Sheriar J. Sheriyarji. In its early years, Marz-O-Rin only served 4 items and occupied just the ground floor of the building. Today the joint has spread over 2 floors and offers more than 150 items.
The ground floor has a small seating arrangement at the entrance to the left hand side. Go straight in and you will find a counter where you’ll need to place your order. The menu board located right behind the counter lists all the items that are served here. If you want to catch up with friends and hang out for a while, then you can go to the first floor, which houses a nice balcony seating area. However, finding an empty table here is difficult especially on the weekend. If the balcony seating is full, you can make yourself comfortable on any of tables in the two rooms located on the first floor. On either floor, you’ll have to pay for your order first and then head to table with the food. A very important benefit of this self service facility is that service is super quick and you get your order in no time.
The ambience is very simple yet very elegant. The huge fish tank placed in the balcony area is quite an attraction especially for fish lovers and kids. Beneath the tank is a small man-made pond which is home to hundreds of tiny fishes. It is fun to sit in the balcony area, as you catch a glimpse of the MG road that is always bustling with activity.
People from different corners of the city specially visit Marz-O-Rin for the lip smacking snacks it serves. The best part about this place is that the food prepared here follows the guidelines drafted by WHO. To make the snacks healthy, they also add soya and non fat milk solids to their preparation. All their bread varieties are freshly baked and soft. They use low fat, cholesterol free cream for their dairy products and all the shakes and ice creams are pure vegetarian. They also use lean chicken so the health conscious needn’t worry about their weight.
Each item served at Marz-O-Rin is a specialty. To start with, you have the different sandwiches, among which the chicken and chutney sandwiches are the most popular. Then you have various types of veg and non veg burgers, salads, multigrain rolls and products made from brown bread. You will also find an array of juices, thick shakes, chillers, hot beverages and flavored milk on the menu. If you like sweets, you can also try the pastries, cakes, macaroons, cookies, chocolates, biscuits and various flavors of ice cream. The eatery serves sugar free and eggless bakery products as well for people with health problems.
The counter on the ground floor is open from 9am to 10 pm all throughout the week while the first floor counter service begins at 12 noon and is open until 10 pm. But you can access the balcony seating area from 9am onwards.
