Chor Bazaar..What a unique name, the name itself attracted me to this place. A fairly spacious restaurant with beautiful ambience. We tried their famous fish tikka with some veg kebab, it had a very inviting presentation, everything was good in it especially the Ajwaini fish tikka. All the kababs were evenly marinated and very flavourful, subtle crispy from out, tenderly soft inside. For mains we had their SIGNATURE DISH chicken Biryani... We also had dal makhani & chicken kadhai , must say.it was one of the best. last but not the least beetroot halwa.......i loved it

I have come here on many occasions and have always found the food and service very good. Kadai vegetable and Saag Paneer need a special mention. Garlic naan is very well cooked and appetizing. Can avoid kulcha bread. Nice and quiet place - good for family dinners.

Warm ambience and service with good food makes your evening worth while. Came here for their famous thali. Well I was a bit reluctant before, but the dish sizes are appropriate and makes you enjoy every bit of thali. It starts with chutneys and sev poori, followed by soup. The main course offers you meat, chicken, fish, dal and veggie s with roro and rice. Dessert is everyone's favourite with gulabjamun, kulfi and kheer. If you want a quiet evening with lots of pampering, then this place is for you.

Went in to try the food at Chor Bazaar in Movenpick Ibn Battuta. A small place and simple interiors. The food was not to the mark it’s supposed to be. Mainly a hit and miss. The food needs lots of improvement in terms of flavor and perfection.

Excellent food, probably the best Grill Items I have ever eaten. Being on my own I wanted to try a few different things and the waiter Hari was very helpful and accommodating, as was the Chef. For mains I had Butter Chicken and Lal Maas with Paratha and Garlic Naan. Simply excellent. Had the pleasure of meeting the Chef during my meal and gave him my compliments. This is by no means a cheap or mid range establishment, in fact quite expensive, but then again any Indian Restaurant in the locality would be similarly priced and not sure they could beat this place on taste!

Had previously heard good reviews about this place and decided to try it. The restaurant is located at the lobby level of Movenpick Ibn Battuta and the ambience is quite good. But the food quality at the buffet is not really up to the mark for an Indian restaurant at a 5 star hotel. There were just few chaats for starters and 1 dish each of fish/chicken/mutton for main course. Maybe the A la carte or set menu is better but would def not recommend the buffet which they usually put on weekends.

Had a visit yesterday to this traditionally decored Indian cuisine restaurant; My reviews Ambience:Considering it to b a romantic dine in spot still I think d lightings should be abit more complimenting with the interior shades which is bit darker so can improvise accordingly and thus not creating a dingy atmosphere. Food:If u miss homemade chicken curry den Mahalla wala chicken curry is must given a try...probably needs to work on food presentation. Value for Money:No doubt bein part of a 5*property but still on a higher end considering the fact of its location.. Staff: staff was proficient...Good luck

Just had a chicken madras with pilau rice, quick bite in this place. Been here loads of times before. Never thought about writing a review. Well it’s just the best curry I had in ages. Heat was right, chicken beautifully tender, nicely marinated and rice cooked to perfection. Sometimes we forget to let people know they did great. It’s supposed to be buffet night but the chef let me have a la carte.

Well we were quite disappointed as the person informed us on the phone that they have set menus ! So my husband had planned our anniversary dinner there however when we reached there they informed us that they have only buffets on Thursday and Friday’s . As we had travelled all the way from one corner of Dubai to other and hungry we decided to go with the buffet ! To my dismay it was really not worth it ! Very few options and the food was cold plus the service was also not that great ! Not worth the money ! Considering it is inside Movenpick hotel the standard should have been high !

Our experience at Chor Bazaar was quite good. We tried their unlimited Veg tasting menu, as we were vegetarians for the day. Ambience - totally love it, high ceilings, hindi songs, tealight candles on the table, definitely to get you in a romantic mood, perfect for a date night. Tasting Menu - the idea of tasting menu is great as it is similar to a buffet, just better coz u dnt need to get up from your table to refill ur plate, they ask you what u wud like nxt and gt it for you (chose from the entire menu) ... I mean isn't tht great 😁 I personally like buffet dinner more coz it gives u time to enjoy ur company than worry about what to order for whom. Food - we were 1st served a plate of appetizers which had a samosa, sprout salad, papdi chaat and some pakoda. You can ask them to repeat whatever u like most but we moved to the nxt stage which was grill items. In the vegetarian option, they had paneer, brocolli and mushrooms. We asked to skip the mushroom and gt the rest. The brocolli was a little too much coated in masala tht overpowdered its original taste, nt much to my liking, rest all was gud ... The paneer and the other appetizers. Main course had dal makhni, gobhi aalu, kadai paneer, saffron rice(i guess) and 1 more veggie which we askd to skip (dnt recall wht tht was) All the curries were nice and were served with hot paratha, roti or naan whichever u chose to order. The rice could have been more flavourful as it tasted more like boiled rice and would have appreciated it they were either jeera rice or the biryani rice kinda flavour. Desserts we order gulab jamun, pista kulfi and zaffrani kheer, all was gud best being the kulfi.

We had heard mixed reviews about this restaurant. We finally visited yesterday. Server Subash was very courteous and explained us their concept of menu. Either to opt for ala carte or Unlimited Tasting of all items from menu @ AED 165. We opted for Unlimited Tasting and it was a real treat for us. All of us enjoy their varieties of starters, tandoor and main course. Hatiya samosa, Chicken Kathi Roll, Balti Lamb and Prawns Biryani stood as extra special among items served to us. However, dessert options were not at par with other course of meal served. Overall a good experience.

Tried their unlimited tasting Thali which with entertainer voucher comes to around Dhs 82 per per person. Tasting thali consists of 1) Tomato Shorba Starter- 2) Platter with paneer roll, gol gappa, samosa and a tikki 3) Paneer Tikka, grilled brocolli and grilled potato Main Course- 1) Paneer Butter Masala 2) Dal Makhani 3) Veg Biryani Desserts- 1) Kulfi 2) Firni 3) Beet root Halwa 4) Gulab Jamun My suggestion to them reduce the quantity and focus on taste. Taste was horrible from starters to desserts not worth trying. Usually venues that I really like, I try to repeat and go on various occasions, this place is surely not one of those. Not worth trying at all even with so many options. 3 Rating is for ambiance.

The dishes that really hit the spot were the lamb chops, malabari chicken, Goan prawn curry rice and butter chicken. Priced at AED 165 with unlimited soft drinks, this place is worth every penny. Staff is super courteous. SURELY COMING BACK

This unpretentious Indian restaurant located inside Mövenpick Hotel Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai Hotel, screams out #aromas and #flavors of incredible #India. This is definitely not your typical Indian restaurant. In fact, Chor Bazaar is an award-winning Indian restaurant which offers a creative combination of Indian dishes blended with innovative culinary touch, but without losing the quintessence of the tradition and original flavors of India. So if you’re looking forward to experiencing that excellent and refined culinary journey which includes superlative food, then be sure to try out Chor Bazaar.

Guys - my apologies for the rating, nothing personal pls ! The spread is definitely not to talk about. While they can get what you want, but that’s not the point when you go to a decent restaurant with family. On top of it, it is extremely pricey. I can quote many Indian restaurants in similar price range, which would indeed be a meal to remember.

I was invited to try the special tasting menu for the Holi Festival Celebration at Chore Bazaar Restaurant at Movenpick Hotel Ibn Battuta Gate with delicious and colorful treats as the theme of the festival .. We tried their appetizers ; Fuchka Platter , Moong Ka Chakhna, Hatiya Wala Samosa , Vegetable Shammi Kebab, Murg Kati Roll and all were so good .. After that we had the Special Holi Menu with wonderful varieties from Chicken Biryani , Kebabs , Tandoris and all were awesome, afterwards we had traditional Indian ice cream ( Pistachio Kulfi) as a dessert. Service is very good, and they are very friendly especially with the kids as they served special chicken (without spices ) for my little one.. All in all this restaurant is located in a wonderful location @movenpickibg and highly recommend place. .

Nice hotel, easy access and a cool entrance with front office facing the outside ie-hotel lobby. The ambience is cozy, interiors done up Indian - more contemporary. Gives you the fusion contemporary kind of feel when you enter and settle down. The tasting menu is the highlight and definitely recommended to all visitors. Being veggies, we did not experience a lack in variety. Go for the tasting menu option for a chilled multi hour dinner. The taste of most items on the tasting menu were great. Your favorites can be repeated unlimited. Service standard is above average. The team is quick and efficient; seems to have been there for long and knows more or less customer preferences on their menu. To their credit, there wasn’t a single reason to complain.

I’ve been here on business lunches and dinners, but the last I visited was on a family occasion. The ambiance is lovely and the restaurant is nicely located at the Movenpick Ibn Batuta Gate hotel. The entrance and the restaurant are nicely constructed and decorated to give an Indian feeling, which is also the cuisine. We opted for the tasting menu (yippee, unlimited delicious food 😋) and it was delectable. The vegetable starter came with a puchka which was the stand out dish for me. Next were the grilled items which were delicious, especially the chicken tikka. The main course was also tasty with the Makhani Dal and butter chicken we ordered. The desserts we ordered were also a combo and the best of them was the kulfi and the gulab jamun. Definitely a must go, if you like Indian food at reasonable rates.

Any mention of India immediately evokes a sense of the aromas and flavours of Indian cuisine. Our three traditional tandoor ovens burn hot and radiantly at the entrance of Chor Bazaar, allowing the special spices in each dish to swelter and merge with other ingredients – culminating in an enchanting cooking ritual that tastes as good as it looks.

Well, a pleasant experience, being the usual night and heading late for dinner is never a prudent option. However the staff @ Chor bazaar was polite and accommodating to seat us and accept the order,the last few seconds of closing time. Would like to have a special mention to the host @ Nithin and the chef,courteous and maintained the standards expected from a 5 star property. Guess it's not only about the food at the end of the meal. Would definitely recommend it purely for its hospitality.

Growing up in a typical Indian household, the kitchen was always sizzling with exotic aromas and appealing traditional Punjabi delicacy. So how could I not say no to something like Somvaar Bazaar which is responsible for serving Chaats, Pani puri and Mughlai dishes. Somvaar Bazaar is a taste of India's best flavours by Chor Bazaar Restaurant in Mövenpick Hotel Ibn Battuta Gate Dubai, quite a far journey if I may add. A weekly buffet on Mondays with exotic live cooking stations demonstrating India's most popular street food. Intrigued by the Chaat counter, Pani Puri was our very first spot and it was an interesting take to replace the Green tangy water with mint chutney. On the other side, was a hot gigantic 'tawa' with plenty of Aloo tikis served on the spot with Tamarind chutney, spiced chickpeas and mint yoghurt. Next, we grabbed some appetisers which to my shock were all Vegetarian, from mini Samosa to onion & cauliflower Pakodas. But the crispy baked Papads sided with coriander mint chutney were my favourite. In my opinion, only two things make an all Indian menu exceptionally luxurious - Royal Biryani and thin Crunchy papads. Finally, we attacked at the main course which was rather packed with Non-Veg options and the hungry carnivore inside me was very happy. We had roasted Salmon honey, Juicy tandoori chicken, Spicy Mutton Curry, Creamy Butter Chicken and fascinating Veal. From the meat lover's paradise, Butter chicken was my personal favourite when paired with their hot garlic naan. The Chicken Biryani was decent, nothing special but the Dal makhani (Black lentil) and spicy Bindi (Ladyfinger) were cooked to perfection just like how they serve at a local Punjabi Dhaba. Rich creamy texture combined with Indian spice & herbs. The tantalising dessert selection at the Somvaar Bazaar was offered the best of North Indian sweets ranging from Gajar ka halwa to Jelebi, Kaju Katli, Kheer, Ali Baba ( Fruit salad), Besan Ladoo and my personal pick Rasmali. Overall, the ambience at Chor Bazaar was excellent including the polite staff and subtle music, perfect to have a long conversation with a bestie while you indulge in your home country's classic dishes. However, the only complaint I've would surely be the limited selection. The ‘Somvaar Bazaar’ takes place every Monday from 7 pm – 11 pm at Chor Bazaar (Ground Floor, Movenpick – Ibn Battuta Gate, Dubai), and prices start from AED 155 per person. Call 04 444 5613 for reservations.

We had a superb evening at Chor bazaar restaurant, Movenpick hotel, Ibn Batuta. This was our third visit to this restaurant, I book the table for my husband for surprise birthday dinner our whole expericence was just wonderful. The hotel decorated for Christmas and we felt atmosphere refreshing and we received warm welcome & out of the way hospitality in this restaurant. We have started with Mixed chaat. The taste was fantastic, surprise for sense in each bite. We have chosen THALI in main course. It was absolutely astonishing. Dal Makhani was absolutely fantastic, reminded me my home. we received a dessert, cheese cake garnished with fresh fruit and chocolate, labelled Happy birthday which was complimentary and surprise to us, mouth watering combination of art and taste. I want to thank Mr . Anthony for looking after us impaccably. The whole experience was just amazing. All in all it exceeded expectations in service, food, ambience and festive look. I recommend THALI for special treat, an amazing culinary melody of delicious food, traditional flavor, great taste, artistic presentation, five star service, refreshing ambiance, Indian ritual touch. INCREDIBLY INVENTIVE. Impossible to resist…..I have visited many fine dining restaurant but never had such great taste. The service we received was exceptional, swift & attentive . Staffs were very courteous, swift & enthusiastic , thanks chef Jagdamba and Mr. Subhash. Thank you all for such a pleasant evening. We were overwhelmed. Special Thanks to Chef Dayanand looking after us impeccably. I want to congratulate Chef Dayanand for his passion for Indian food. Don’t miss this experience if you are in Dubai. I enjoyed this experience. I recommend to visit this restaurant , you would like to visit it again for sure.

After a wait for two hours we managed to get our table as we walked in without reservation during a weekday. We had some fresh fruit juice , red wine , pahadi chicken and chicken Kali Mirch(both grilled chicken), mutton biriyani and chicken dum biriyani. The service was pretty good and the staff was attentive . Both the chicken dish we ordered for half portion which was 3 pieces each. Food was served in 30 mins . Pahadi chicken was very well marinated , slightly spicy and really tasty . Chicken Kali mirch was average . Mutton biriyani was very good and very well cooked mutton . Chicken biriyani was ok but not anything great. Overall it's a good place to dine in with family and friends .

I have been to Chor Bazaar multiple times now and have loved it every time. The Indian thali package is highly recommended. The soup is one of the best I have ever had, and you can't beat unlimited chicken, lamb, prawns and naan bread fresh from the tandoor. Also the deal is available on the entertainer, and upgrade it to the full alcohol package for an additional 100AED. Total meal for 2 people with unlimited alcohol is less than 400AED

The Chef - Mr Prasad is gem of a person and is open to all feedbacks. You could ask for customization of food and they would happily oblige. The place serves alcohol and the dinner package option includes one with spirit. All in all, If you love Indian food, this is a place worth going!

Every ‘Somvaar‘ (Hindi for Monday), the entrance of Chor Bazaar restaurant at Ibn Battuta Gate transforms into a quaint little Indian marketplace. There is a stall showcasing an array of trinkets, Indian shawls and mirror-worked totes but these are just for show. This ‘bazaar’ is an elaborate buffet, a feast of ‘all you can eat’ delicacies from different corners of India.

average experience , last time i was there was around a year back i guess. i remember food tasted better than this time. sikandari seekh and chicken sukha were just okay . i mean you can have the same dishes elsewhere and would taste much better and a affordable prices . service wise , they were excellent !

Chor Bazaar surprised me this time with an amazing Buffet with variety of Indian street food like Aloo tikki, Samosa, pakora, pao bhaji and Pani puri at live counters with people serving them in traditional attire. Main course was also good with a various options for both Veg and non-veg food. Loved the Gulab Jamun. There was Gajar ka halwa too but it would have tasted great if served Hot. Other options were also good. Chor Baazar has always been good but I always felt its little pricy but with this buffet @ AED 125 per person is really a Great deal for such experience. I am not sure till when they are running this but I will surely recommend.

Nothing out of the ordinary apart from such soothing lights and decor. We ended up here by coincidence, we were four of us, we ordered paneer tikka masala, dal khichdi biryani m, prawn biryani and some lacha paratha but we were not overwhelmed by the experience. We ate it because we had to kind of scenario. The staff wasn't pleasant, no smile, no greeting and delayed service. When we asked for a better seating they said that is a table for six and we cannot give it to you, even though while we were leaving that table was still empty. Paneer was sweet and bland otherwise. It was not cheesy soft nor tasty, it just didn't feel good. We had asked for papad and they arrived pretty late, I asked for green chilli and lemon, which took ten minutes to reach me while in middle of dinner. The breads were heavy. Khichdi biryani was like any other pulav, though I loved dum Roti on top of it. My friend thought prawn biryani didn't feel fresh either. All in all its just a matter of eating plain food in a better ambiance.

I had visited with my family for dinner at chor bazaar.... It's an Indian restaurant which I really enjoyed my dinner.... Firstly we were welcomed by Mona which was so nice n warm.... Then she assisted us to our seats n we were all comfortable where she gave us the table.... The warm n polite Hospitality of subash, nithin, and narayan was outstanding they served us with pleasure n made us feel comfortable at the restaurant.... We being vegetarians... Chef reejan n chef sajid and chef dayanand prasad gave us superb starters, followed by main course n then the deserts.... Frankly speaking my family n me enjoyed our dinner night undoubtedly ..... Step taken to come to chor bazaar was worth the step to be taken.....

We knew we were in for a treat even before we walked into the restaurant. Chor Bazaar, just like the rest of Moevenpick Ibn Battuta, is so beautifully decorated. There is so much detail in all of the decor, all the way from the floors to the ceilings. We were seated in a corner booth table. The waiters brought out the drinks and food menus, and gave us some time to decide. After choosing what we wanted, they took away our menus and brought us a little amuse-bouche. It was a thin, wafer like bread, filled with an amazing eccentric taste of tangy and sweet, with a little hit of spice. The waiter explained to us that it was a vegetarian snack in India called Poori. After we were done with the amuse-bouche, and while we were waiting on the appetizers, the kind waiters brought a little coloring book and crayons for our 1 year old Khalifa to play with. I thought that was really sweet of them to do that for him. Soon our drinks and appetizers came. For appetizers we ordered the Chicken Tikka Pakora and the Kekra Cake. The Chicken Tikka Pakora is boneless chicken pieces that are covered in tikka spices and batter, and then deep fried. Its crispy and spicy and all around, really good! The Kekra Cake is an Indian twist on a crab cake. Along with crab, it has flavorful spices and is coated in breadcrumbs before being shallow fried. Along with it comes a sweet and spicy homemade chutney. For drinks, we ordered two different mocktails-- mine was a made from kiwi and had a bit of zest from mint, while my husband's was more fruity with loads of fresh strawberries. We loved both of them, and even our little Khalifa liked my minty drink. For mains, my husband ordered Pahadi Chicken Tikka, which is boneless chicken pieces that have been marinated in cilantro, mint, spinach, lime and green chili. Its then chargrilled and served with a side salad and a green chutney sauce. The chicken is very well-marinated and the flavor of the spices goes through to every single bite. I had the Goan Prawn Curry for my mains. We love trying different kinds of Indian foods, but this is my first time trying a Goan dish. It was incredible! The curry itself is a creamy sauce thats not spicy at all. You can really taste the freshness of the prawns and the flavors of the curry don't overpower the prawns at all. Its such a great balance. If your not into spicy food and love seafood, this is definitely your dish! Along with our mains, we had garlic naan bread. The flatbread is flavored with freshly minced garlic and butter. Its so good, you can even eat it on its own. Yummy! Unfortunately we really didn't save any room for desserts, we were so stuffed we couldn't even sample a little bit. They looked really delicious, so we'll definitely have to give a try the next time we go there, and trust me we will certainly be back! Ratings (0-5): Staff/Service: 4 Ambience: 5 Food: 4.5 Presentation: 4.5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4.5 Overall Rating: 4.58 Worth Trying?: Yes, this is such a great place for Indian cuisine-- the decor is lovely, the ambiance is romantic, yet also family friendly, and the food is so good!

Just another desi restaurant. Service 6 Value for money 6 decor 6 food variety 6. I don't see any reason to go visit this place again. And I am being nice with a 6 score. Staff needs to get some enthusiasm I know long working hours and killer wages don't bring in the best but a smile won't hurt anyone. I was given a review card without a Pen lol. Was asked twice if my CC required PIN as if I didn't know what I was saying. Was told a certain section was closed and I couldn't possibly sit there but then in 10mins some random guests went there and sat and the table was automatically laid out for them bit strange!! If you are coming from AUH or live around there and have no option then make the trip that's my advise!! The true gems are still in the real side of Dubai..!!!

As the name implies: Chor Bazaar has stolen the best Flavours from all over India and created scrumptious dishes. Hence it is called Chor Bazaar, I love the name and it reminds me of Mumbai’s famous Chor Bazaar (thieves’ market).It is located in the beautiful Mövenpick Hotel Ibn Battuta Gate. A great experience comprises of great food, fabulous staff and amazing ambience: Chor Bazaar excelled in all. It for sure can steal foodies heart with the delicious food at offer. Your appetite is stimulated the moment you walk in the restaurant with the inviting aroma of grilled kebabs from the clay tandoors situated at the entrance of the restaurant. We took Restaurant Manager’s help to choose the dishes and she suggested to try the best of Chor Bazaar and that’s what we did!!! Started with Dahi Puri starter which is mouthwatering crunchy puffs filled with curd, tamarind and green chilli, which is a must try. Allu tikki is my another favourite, topped with curd & tamarind. To add to the taste is the flavorsome Butter Milk (Mint Chaas). Besides this we ordered for one Vegetarian sharing platter which comprises of Harabhara Kebab, Samora, Sev Puri and Onion Bhaji: it’s a perfect platter for a vegetarian. If you are a soup lover go for: Tomato Shorba or Murgh Shorba. I really liked the concept of “Thali”. It is value for money and one can try different dishes in the Thali which makes you love the food more. It includes five different curries from different parts of India along with a bread basket, mushroom pulav (rice)and tandoori platter featured an array of meats, from shrimp to lamb to chicken and for vegetarians mushrooms, paneer, broccoli and other seasonal vegetable with aromatic spices – all prepared in the tandoors (ovens). I would definitely recommend to try the Thali. Well that’s not it and Indian meal is incomplete without some sweets and we couldn’t stop not trying the Gajar Ka Halwa, Matka Kulfi and Ras Malai. “Chor Bazaar” absolutely stole my vote for them for good food. May be you guys should head to MövenpickIbn Battuta Gate Hotel this weekend. Dine at Chor Bazaar and later head to Moroc lounge & Bar to watch the World Cup. A perfect weekend plan!!!

Great concept, very poor execution!! We had to wait over 25 minutes before getting any food on our table. The waits between the kebabs was too long. The food was average, if the service was better i would come back. Watch your bill they tried to over charge us twice!!!

Chor Bazaar. The name itself should have sent bells ringing. But we bravely ventured with 2 families. We paid for the ambience...and the for the friendly fella who arranged for my baby to fall asleep on another chair. But the food fell short of expectations. Another lesson to keep expectations low :-(

For me, Chor Bazaar has the best Indian Thali in town. Everything tastes wonderful. The selection of lamb, Chicken & Prawns fresh from the BBQ are so tender & full of flavour. All the curry sauces are wonderful & the garlic nan bread is crisp & perfect. The lamb rogan Josh is my favourite on the Thali selection. It really is good value for money, especially with drinks included. I guarantee you'll be needing a rest afterwards just to digest all that good food.

Had brought my Greek friend to try this restaurant as she wanted to try Indian food and get a feel of India. The interiors looked nice so we entered and ordered some non-spicy courses. We really liked the food. But the next day both our stomachs were upset. She did get a feel of India. Fell sick even before entering India. -- A drop of ink may make a million think. @AyaashPaw

I expected a fine dinning restaurant since I was entertaining, unfortunately after seeing the interiors of Chor Bazaar it would be fair to say I felt cheated before ordering the food. There was an odd smell around the restaurant, possibly floor cleaning detergent, whatever it was, made us decide to go elsewhere. Unfortunately I was looking forward to the food....maybe next time post a renovation where it looks and feels like fine dinning for the price charged. Till then....I'll stick to the ones I know best.

For a long time i have been thinking to try out this place. Had heard a lot about it.. finally got an occasion to celebrate there. we ordered paneer tikka masala. this is first place in dubai where i have ordered a paneer dish.. thanks to my curiosity the dish came out really well. we liked it a lot. sweet dish was mango phirni which was not so impressive... ambience was really nice and an extra 0.5 for the same..

Went here yesterday for our anniversary dinner work friends. The person attending to our table, Krishna was the sweetest person we've met at a restaurant. The service was a tad slow, but I'd put it down to the weekend. We ordered a vegetarian snack platter, grilled lamb chops, Pahadi chicken to start off. The lamb was an absolute delight! Probably the best in a long long time. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting this place. For the main, we tried the chicken curry, paneer and Dal. The chicken curry was amazing with the flavors spot on. We tried the Kaftan bread with our food, and it was super soft and yummy. The staff actually presented us with a delightful chocolate mousse for our anniversary, which was worth every bite. We did wrap up with their dessert platter. What I liked, the option of the various platters they have on offer. Scope for improvement, the place needs more staff. The food is an absolute delight, with well proportioned servings and dress up. Surely will come back for the lamb and chicken curry.

A neighborhood eatery in the Ibn Batutta area. They’ve got a great vegetarian sharing platter to start things off, as well as a flavorful tandoori vegetable grill that includes deep fried mushroom, grilled paneer and mixed aromatic vegetables. As for mains, the paneer tikka masala and black dal have very generous portions and go well with crispy garlic naan. The place is good for a decent casual Indian meal if you live in the area, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there.
