Making a comeback after a long time, and guess what? It's another review on RESTAURANT by me :-)
By now everyone must have guessed it that I am a big time food lover, and frankly speaking even I love to write on restaurants a lot. Today the restaurant that i'l be reviewing is a restaurant that is a bit far by from my residence. It's around 1 hour journey from my house to this restaurant, but I do take out some time every week so that I can make a visit at-least once so that I can hog like anything.
If your in Mumbai then do visit this restaurant, its very good and to cut the long story short, its a place which fits everyone's budget with awesome varieties of chicken and pretty good desserts too.
How I landed here?
There is a mall nearby this restaurant and one has to get down and walk for 10 mins if one goes by bus to reach the mall, as I had to do some shopping I knew that I would get late by the time I would finish all my shopping's and stuffs.
As I was accompanied with my best friend, we both drew the same conclusion that we should eat something and then go to the mall for shopping. We couldn't find a rick from station till the mall so there was no other option other than going by bus. After getting down from the bus, we saw Cafe Maaz, and the 1st thought that came to our mind was Ummmmm..As me and my best friend are big time chicken lover, its the best thing that happened to us that we din't get a rick and preferred going by bus and we landed up here.
The things that I dint like about the restaurant?
The restaurant is situated far away from nearest station ie nahur station, and one can prefer going by rick or if no availability of rick than one can go by bus.
The second thing that I dislike was the surrounding area was not that good, but the restaurant seemed quite descent, and the hunger within us forced us even more.
The ambiance was not that happening as CANDIES, TIMBUCTOO etc etc. but it was descent. There wasn't any music but the cushions were very comfortable.
This restaurant was divided into 2 sections, With AC and Without AC, highly recommended that one should go in AC section, as AC sections have good cushions and comfort level is high.
The things that I like about the restaurant?
The restaurant was big, but even though it was big there used to be one heck of a crowd, but recently they have made 3 sections ie they have added a family section also, which is same as AC section but with better ambiance.
There were many things that impressed me about this restaurant which I will discuss below.
What was the food like?
Coming to the food, I just loved it, it was killer, what more should I say?
As this is a Muslim-origin restaurant, the food has to be killer and out of the world, but woahh woahh!!!! This restaurant has its own lil hinge of secret in the food that they make. One day ill surely try to peep into their kitchen to see what's the secret to their food making. Even my mom can't make such delicious food (Sorry mom :P). She will kill me if she reads this haha.
The variety one can find here is enormous, and every variety has its own uniqueness.
I've tried various dishes here, some of which are mentioned below
Chicken tandoori
Chicken 65
Chicken lollipop
Chicken Angara
Chicken Lazeez
Chicken Tawa
Butter Chicken
Chicken Tikka
Chicken White
Chicken Toofani
Chicken Handi
There are more, but as of now I can remember these much only. Every dish has its own uniqueness and different hinge of taste of the masala.
In desserts, I've tried Maaz royal falooda, Caramel custard, sewai kulfi.
My mouth's watering now itself hahahaha
The tandoori roti is also good and better than others.
The food's presentation also was good and very formal like how big big restaurants present, and the waiter's also are well trained.
As mentioned the ambiance and decor was ok and not that great but certainly it has improved a great deal and the family section is really nicely decorated.
Customer Service also was good and till date there are no goof-ups and I feel that's pretty descent. The waiter's are always on their toes and very well trained.
Value for Money is one thing that comes to my mind when I think about this restaurant. As compared to other quality restaurants the pricing of the dishes and desserts are below par and even the food is great.
All that matters is the quality of food and not the quantity. And the perfect pricing with good service by the staffs makes it one of the best restaurants in that area.
Truly satisfied customer, thumbs up to them.
The range of dishes is quite fabulous, and the menu card also is quite funny. The menu card is put together in quite a humorous way, so much so that people are tempted to order something from every sub-section of the menu card.
With 3 sections build up, there isn't any issues of prior reservations n all.
One thing that I have to mention is that, there is some secret recipe that most Muslim-origin restaurants use. Even basic dishes are quiet effective and tasty.
It cant be rated as excellent, although this place is very good.
Hope all my friends found this review very useful :-)
More reviews on restaurants coming soon...........................
