On the Navroze menu of The Good Choice by Hoshang Velati are timeless classics like Parsi Shepard’s pie, Gallentine’s jardaloo salli chicken, cocktail pulao dar, and lagan nu custard. The best part...ordering the full menu means that you get complimentary chicken and mango salad, achar, sariya and rotli.
