Value for Money
-By Marryam H Reshii
Once the place for Delhi wallahs to dine out, the original Daryaganj Moti Mahal is quite a frozen-in-time experience, especially for non-resident Delhiites and foreign tourists who flock here. They gawp in astonishment at the rather basic interiors that have been kept (purely unintentionally, let it be said) at the level of post-Partition days. But even though it has distinctly frayed at the edges, the restaurant offers the cuisine it truly pioneered in the city - Dal Makhni, Butter Chicken, Reshmi Kabab, Murgh Musallam. After all these years, the Tandoori Chicken is still succulent and flavourful. Among the new ones introduced Chicken Burrah, Garlic Reshmi Tikka, Paneer Tikka Amritsari are worth a try. The other Moti Mahal outlets in the city are owned by a motley bunch of partners and family members of the flagship, so that though the menus remain largely the same, standards vary. The others have "Delux", "Deluxe" and "Tandoori Trail" attached to the name, indicating ownership.

Moti Mahal is the one restaurant which indeed makes me feel at home. After having shifted to north india from my native, i found it quite difficult to adjust with the north indian way of living and food habits when Moti mahal came to my rescue. Don't miss

Moti Mahal, which once used to be a brand has slowly started deteriorating and it shows in their service. The food served has lost its quality and is suitable for bachelors living alone in the city who can afford to spend that much.

Moti Mahal is a super awesome place to hand out with friends or family. Their USP is of course the south Indian filter coffee, which does not make you want to leave at all. The south Indian dishes have improved with time. Good going guys! Keep up the great work!
