A Friend's Treat @ Smoky B's

There is a unique fun in taking and giving treats to friends, but it's even more enjoyable when things don’t go according to plan. A few days ago, we had a similar experience. One of our friends got a good job, and since it was his first salary, a treat was a must. So, we all decided to go to Cafe Imran, which is an excellent restaurant but quite far away. We arranged a car, and everything was set, but at the last moment, the car broke down, leaving us without transport.

I suggested we go on our bikes, but everyone refused because the distance was long, and riding bikes would be tiring, taking the fun out of the trip. In the end, the Cafe Imran plan was canceled. I then suggested we should go somewhere else because if we postponed it that day, the plan might not happen again. Everyone agreed, and we decided to meet at a central location, Johar Mor, and from there, we chose to go to Smoky B's.

Smoky B's is the kind of place I would never go to on my own because it's very expensive. Just looking at the menu card could make you think twice. I ordered a burger called Spicy Cheesy Belly, two more burgers were ordered by my friends, and one of them ordered a beef ribs platter, which seemed extremely expensive to me.

It took some time for the food to arrive, so in the meantime, I took pictures of the restaurant. The seating was decent, but nothing special, although the wall pictures were attractive and nice.

The beef ribs platter was quite different, the meat was very soft and tender, and I enjoyed eating it. But again, I didn’t think it was worth the high price. Still, I didn’t have to worry about the bill. Despite the price, the beef platter was delicious. By then, our burgers were also served.

The burgers looked good, but their taste was just average. For the price and the fancy atmosphere, I expected more from the burgers. However, the sauces and flavors of all three burgers were different, and I tasted all of them. Maybe it was the high prices that set my expectations too high, which is why they didn’t meet my hopes.

Overall, it was a fun experience because eating with friends adds a special joy to any meal. So, in that sense, the plan was a success. Even though we couldn’t make it to Cafe Imran, we got a chance to try Smoky B's, thanks to Mr. Mairaj for the lovely treat!
