The dal-fry doesn't disappoint.
Neither does the entirely-in-Hindi menu. Right off the bat, we notice the notice along the bottom of each page:

Tips -- please wait 20 minutes.
The soup section is headed with:
- Thandi ho ya dhoop, khane se pehle soup.
Winter or summer, soup before eating.
- Veg Hot & Sour Soup (Veg/Non-Veg)
Veg Manchow (Veg/Non-Veg)
Veg Sweetcorn (Veg/Non-Veg)
[etc]
Also on the menu are:
- Ring Piss Masala
Veg Triple Sijwan Chopsuey
Triple Fried Rice
Drying Chicken Roll
Fronjh Chili
Franjh Curry
And finally, there's the "Ice Cream" section, with these flavours:
- Butterscotch
Kesar Pista
Vanilla
Cassata
Cold Drink
Mineral Water
Lassi

That's very good, anonymous! My translation seems half-witted in comparison!
heh this was a nice 'light' read!
well..my translation (of "rain or shine...") was inspired by your Hindi song translation.
On similar lines, there is a Kannada song from the movie "Bettada Hoovu" (Mountain flower?) where words are translated word-to-word (http://www.musicindiaonline.com/l/18/s/movie_name.2212/).
Sun let it come,
Rain let it come,
Forest Mountains I go roaming...
Hilarious, as usual. Next time, you must take a photo of one of these menus. They are too good to be true.
