Hunger Pangs is located at Hill Road, Bandra. A little ahead of Elco, but it comes before Nature's Basket. It's a tiny little place, a little hard to find even though it's on the main road, so keep your eyes peeled! When you do find and enter this place, it gives you a diner type of feeling. We went in expecting average diner-quality food. We were so so wrong.
We first ordered the messi (messy?) cottage cheese burger. It was stuffed to the brim with cottage cheese cubes, onion, and a slice of cheese. It was well seasoned and lightly spiced. Very impressive and hearty. Just look at the filling!
We had the regular size and there is also a 'Hunger Pangs' size. But I'd say get two regulars instead! You'd get much more quantity. Served with a side of seasoned fries.
After that, we ordered the cilantro pesto cream pasta. It was super creamy. And cilantro? That's not a typical addition for pasta. Intriguing but it worked quite well. There was also a slight sharp taste. We were trying to figure out what it was, each bite becoming a culinary endeavor. Eliminating spices and trying to narrow down the correct one. The flavor not too spicy but just the right amount of sharp, and it faded away delightfully. It had a perfect burst of uniform flavor with each bite. It turned out to be habanero! Habanero chilis are very hot, rated 100,000–350,000 on the Scoville scale. However, here, they used only the essence of habanero, else it would have been too hot to handle. This dish has completely converted me.
We also ordered orange juice, which I suspect was the Minute Maid pulpy orange. Which I like.
If nothing else, go for the pesto cream pasta. You will be very pleasantly surprised. Highly recommended.
