Though it does look a tad forbidding inside, Maisha has a great terrace next door to Fantástico’s, on a part of Argumosa which just seems to widen out more and breathe a little on the approach to Lavapies metro. Service is sometimes quite dispassionate at a few of these Bangla-owned mini restaurants, and this is no exception. Crisps were served with our lackluster white wines, but then we decided to have a snack and ordered the prawn puri. Rather than serve a personal-pizza-style one like Moharaj do, Maisha’s comes as two separate coaster-sized confections, topped with fresh colorful coriander leaves, firm prawns and a tangy, chilli sauce that hasn’t just been poured on it like a gravy. It was the best culinary surprise of the week.
