Restaurant Review #11: Nawab
Nawab is located on main Zamzama Blvd (again), right next to Deevan motors. You can’t miss it.
The resturant claims to serve authentic mughlai food, but there is no way to verify this claim as none of us was alive in Mughal era to testify the authenticity.
Nevertheless, I liked the place. Rather, I liked the food. Very rarely I prefer cuisine over BBQ, and that’s what I did at Nawab. Their Chicken Makhni was amazing. I was also tempted to try out Chicken Badami but we had already ordered two much stuff, including Daal Makhni, Chicken Boti and Beef Boti, and all of them were really good.
They also served mango and strawberry flavored lassi and masala milk, very different from carbonated drinks that we have at other places.
The only downside was the turnaround time. It took them 40 minutes to serve the 4 dishes we ordered.
Economically, they are no different than other places in Zamzama. Starters between 150 and 300 rupees, and main dishes above 400 rupees, add that to drinks and naans and parathas, you are easily looking at 700 rupees per head.
But that’s worth it if you want to eat something other than pizza and steaks and be satisfied in the end.
