MOTI MAHAL is a popular global chain drawing inspiration from the cooking traditions of Mughlai and Northern India, and boasting a host of specialities dying to be tried. After circling the nightmarish Salam Street area three times, we finally found the surprising calm and elegant independent eatery, and sat quitely praying that it was worth it over some refreshing lemon mint juice.
As appetizingly complex as the packed menu is, they really push their specialities on you (with box outs describing their origin and cooking details) so we went with their signature butter chicken, special dal makhni ( a creamy black lentil concoction), the prawns in special Moti Mahal Delux masala, acommpanied by sides of charcoal grilled mushrooms stuffed with cottage cheese, and naan stuffed with onions, veg and potato. It sounds like very stuffy stuff but our stomachs were nothing but at peace upon finishing.
Everything was remarkable, with special empahsis on the butter checkin, which we concur is special – the creamiest, most delicate we’ve ever tasted, with a hint of sweetness. It’s really all in their sauces, which add an amazingly rich finishing touch to everything. They’re worth putting the diet on hold for, if you can manage not to think about the dollops of cream and butter that went into making them.
Rounding this all off with Indian style ice cream (kulfi) topped with vermicelli, nuts and saffron was the best decision made since opting to brave Salama Street to get here in the first place. Although it’s always a little difficult to eat until slightly melted, it was so yummy and different paired with the vermicelli that we made like a spade in hard earth and went for it.
This is it for now ’cause I still have to look a solution for my close friend’s eczema skin problem. She asked me to help her find the best dermatologist in town but I told her that I knew a reliable company online. They might help her. She was actually with us during this resto adventure at Moti Mahal. The same time where I noticed her eczema problem.
