Situated in somewhat secluded but nice place, nearby the Kokila Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital; Never too crowded (as on date) - u can find a place within 15 mins even on weekend nights. My non-vegie frnds tell me the chicken et all taste awesome. As for the vegitarian food I can safely vouch for that.
The best part is u need not spend whole night reading the menu as is the case in most of the restaurants; those menus remind me of multi-games cassetts (and later on CD's) which proclaimed to have 1000 games - contra I, contra II, contra III.... contra 100.... but essentially all were the same. But this is not the case here. There are limited number of food items however each one is different from the other and constitute a pretty exhaustive list.
My fav used to be baingan ka bharta; owing to a low demand, they don serve it anymore. Second on my fav list is Kathel ki sabzi which is again a seasonal one. Masala mantra (MM) is the only third one after my mother and naani, where I eat kathel. mmmmm....Mouthwatering !
Coming to breads - all are good. In particular, I like the 'Lovely aunty ka paratha' and mirchi paratha. However, recently I tried methi parantha at Golden Punjab, sector 7 Vashi, Navi Mumbai. They prepared it really well - kneading the methi with the wheat floor unlike in other restaurants whr they just sprinkle some methi over the parathas. I would like to recommend this recipe to MM too.
I am all praise for all the dishes served at MM. Each one different from the other, however, equally mouthwatering.
Cost per head: A tad costlier than the avrg restaurant - Rs.200 per head with drinks.
And yes ! How can forget to tell you about their unique way of celebrating their guest's birthday. Here, I can only tell you its very weird but amusing too. You check out yourself.
Arrre! I almost forgot about the service part too. Quite prompt and attendants are really courteous. One more advantage - the retaurant has a wallet parking too.
I am rating it as very good and not as excellent for scrapping my fav Baingan ka Bharta from the menu.
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
