MAKKHAN MAAR KE

Makkhan Maar Ke
Ground Floor, Rituraj Apartments
Near Mauli Gardens, Baner.
Ph: 98234 43289

Iam always searching for restaurants with unique menus. Makkhan Maar Ke on Baner Road is one such place that serves contemporary north Indian cuisine. The name itself is inviting
enough! The restaurant is quite small, with seating options — dining area and lounge area — on the mezzanine floor. As such, it’s a bit congested.

FOOD & SERVICE
The food menu has typical soups, the only uncommon additions are a sea food soup and a Dal Palak soup. Their starters are quite impressive and unique. To name a few — Saunfiya
dhingri (mushrooms with fennel) Kurkure Paneer, Paneer Sheek Kebab, Dahi Ke Kebab. The last is a prepared just right, but the dahi was sour! Paneer Sheek Kabab would have been better if the binding agent was lighter than the paneer. Non-veg kebabs included Sharabi Kebabi (tandoori chicken marinated in wine), Patri Kebab (chicken breast stuffed with chicken
mince), Golmaal ( mutton mince) stuffed inchicken breast).Main courses are also very typical
except for Subziyon Ka Aachari korma or their special Makkhan Maar Ke
(combination of two gravies — white and red — served separately in one dish). They also serve
lassi, chaas, mocktails and an array of desserts. I often wonder why restaurants struggle with their dessert!

VERDICT
All praises to the food menu compilation, specially the starters. It’s expensive, given the ambience, space, service offered. They serve complimentary butter (as the names suggests), so not recommended for figure conscious people. But, the success of a restaurant lies in its taste, which I think they have to compete for.

MY OVERALL RATING : 6/10
