At Modern, every visit begins with a wait in line. The ustaad then carefully handpicks a carcass and cuts off a joint, especially for you {there’s no curry cut rubbish here, unless he can sense you’re a mutton amateur}. He then politely enquires if you’ll need some additional pieces of nalli or charbi, before passing on the joint to his row of assistants who break down the joint into botis ready to packed into freezer ready parcels.
Also available is every form of bakra-related offal from bheja to paya, to gurda-kapura to even siri, that too on demand. They’ve even started making some great ready-to-fry seekhs and shammis for your next dinner party. The only catch with Modern and like with all things Bandra, they’re about 20 per cent pricier than the average Mumbai butcher.
