Braai is Afrikaans for grilled meat or for the process of grilling. Like many other words that English has adopted from various languages, this too has found a place in the dictionary. Braai is diagonally opposite Garuda Mall and on the first floor. A little easy to miss, so keep your eyes peeled. The door to Braai is a massive black and gold number and opens out to a pretty big restaurant with low seating with ethnic cushions and motifs.

There was seating by the window side with view of Garuda and the oceans of traffic, but that was reserved for a larger group of people due to come in later. Once seated we began to look around. On first look, the place looks fine, but look a little closer and you see chipped paint, open electrical points and the area behind the cashier's counter looks like a dumpyard of sorts. That having been said, Braai has attempted to work their decor, but failed to highlight it well. What I really loved was the fact that the ceiling was like a massive bangle holder. Glass bangles of many colors stretched across the expanse. I would love to know how many were used. There was also a stray set of Rajasthani dolls on one wall. At the end of the restaurant was a model of a truck which will definitely fascinate kids and a great view into the kitchen. You get to look in only if you are seated at that part of the restaurant.  

Braai has a buffet and the a la carte going on side by side and we opted for the menu. We went in for two starters - Chicken and Cheese Sheek Kebabs and the Mutton Sheek. While we waited, we were given complimentary jal jeera. While the first sip was great, the next sip drives in how much chaat powder is there in it. It was enough to scratch your throat on the way down. Both the kebabs were decent without being brilliant. Not really sure if there was an cheese in the chicken one though.
