Legend ‘wait for it’
dary….. Vohuman, but of course!
So much has already
been said about Vohuman that I never felt the need to pen about it... until now. This
time, though, was very special as I had gone to Vohuman with my kindergarten
‘chaddi-buddies’, hence penning the review.
I was a Mumbaite as
a school and college going kid but now after 29 years in Pune, I am a total
Punekar. This weekend when my school friends came down to Pune for a weekend
reunion, where else would I take them (directly from the station) for breakfast,
except for Vohuman. Except for one gal who was a Gujju we all were Bawis (Parsee)
so ‘eda’ (egg) for breakfast was a given. As soon as we got out of the car the
whiff of delicious omelets flooded our olfactory system. The gals were like, ‘Oh
gosh! We can’t wait to dig in, jaldi se table dhundho’. Sab saale bhukkhad, me
included. ;)
As usual nearly all tables at Vohuman were occupied except for a big table at the far corner, near the back door, where two people were already seated. Hormuz Uncle told us to head to that table. We headed to our table where we plonked our heavy duty butts and with the amount of commotion we created with our ‘bak-bak’, the two guys sitting at the table quickly finished their brekkie and ran away. *very evil grin*
(For those of you who do not know Hormuz Uncle, he is the owner of Vohuman. Sit a wee bit longer to jabber and he will glare at you and tell you to push off once you're done eating. Then again, he is also the ever charming gentleman who when time permits walks over to your table to tell you a naughty joke *typical Bawa humor*).

We ordered bhurji/s, single anda cheese omelet/s, double anda-double cheese toast sandwich (mine, all mine.. sigh!), toast butter, bun maska and tea/s. My friends were aghast (in the most wonderful kinda way :D ) at the butter applied on the toast and the amount of cheese in my double anda-double cheese omelet. We troubled our server, Satish, every few minutes for more glasses of tea and our re-union weekend began with wonderful memories created at Vohuman.

As for the prices, everything served is under a hundred buckaroos and our total bill for 5 people was approximately 640 rupees, if I remember correctly (tip for Satish, extra).
I’ve clicked a few
photographs at Vohuman (posting old and new ones) and I expect you all to be
very grateful (just kiddin’) that I took the time to click them because as everyone who has ever visited Vohuman knows, when at Vohuman, once the food arrives at the table one just cannot
help but dig in immediately.
Bottom line: Vohuman
truly ROCKS!!!
Ambiance: Seriously,
with the fantastic food they serve, who gives a f*** about ambiance. I know i don't!
