BEING A BACHELOR


COOL CONFESSIONS with  Sameep Karve
If you are craving for ice creams, milk shakes or falooda at midnight around 2am at Marine drive then you can bang on at Bachelorr's.
Nestled in a nook beside the railway tracks at Charni Road station in Mumbai, this ice cream joint serves milkshakes, ice-creams and sandwiches, is a regular hangout amongst the evening crowd, racing down Marine Drive for kicks, stopping at Bachelor's to cool down. Bachelor's is an experience that every visitor to Mumbai must taste to believe. Their unique flavours cannot be found anywhere else.

Bachelorr’s – initially known as Brahamchari’s – was established by Late Mr. Om Prakash Agarwal in the early 30’s (probably in 1932) on the quiet beach of Girgaon Chowpatty. Mr. Om Prakash Agarwal, belonging to a Ghaziabad in U. P., had run away from his home as a teen & come to Mumbai with almost no money. Here, in Mumbai, he somehow arranged for his livelihood by doing any job that he could get & slogged. Within a year or two,he started vending fruits at a rented stall on Chowpatty. Later he rented another place opposite to the beach where he would store the fruits as business was picking. Gradually the business started flourishing and he used to get good customers. Some customers also asked for the fruits to be cut and served in a dish. Mr. Om Prakash Agarwal started giving that service to the customers
It is open from 5pm to early am. They have lot of varieties of juices and shakes. No sitting area. But the service is quite quick. It's very easy to drive past this joint, but when you observe you can see that it's always thronged by people. It is situated bang opposite Chowpatty Sea Face. Being a roadside joint, there is not much of seating available here, however, you are free to park your car and the servers shall take your order at your car. One of the most popular food joint on marine drive, which is open till wee hours.

Having a juice or a shake hasn't been that sort of a memorable experience as a fine dining? Bachelorr's might just change that. The menu of juices and shakes itself might put many multi-cuisine restaurants to shame.
Out of the long list of menu I ordered my favourite Mango shake with pieces of fresh mangoes doing justice with my taste buds and to the season .
Mango Shake with pieces can't get better. Mangoes are just so smooth and delicious. Mango chunks add to the delight like anything. However the moment I took a spoon full of that Sweet Devil I was into a heaven. No words to describe that happiness.
Also, go for their mocha in chocolate dressing and be prepared to be bowled over. Overpriced but the experience is worth it.
