Navi Mumbai’s best-kept culinary secret is barely nine months old and serves a rice-squid-bangda-prawn-beetroot bowl that we think is Kerala’s killer answer to Bibimbap

On a random Sunday, while looking for places to eat on an app, we stumbled on Food Stories in Belapur. An oddly interesting name for a restaurant, hidden behind international fastfood joints and well-established eateries, this Kerala food place piqued our interest.
Their menu is an interesting mix of Syrian Catholic dishes, toddy shop-style food and Thalaserry specials, interspersed with South East Asian food. There are a host of prawns, squids, clams and crab dishes and a long list of biryanis, thalis, stews and roasts. It turns out that the restaurant has already reserved a place in the hearts of those who cherish rustic Malabar food. It has a modest seating capacity of 20, with white tables and light green walls reminiscent of eateries in the interiors of God’s own country.
