Zahtar Restaurant — Restaurant in Bidhannagar

Let me introduce to you the newly, renovated and more upscale "Zahtar" which not only gives you a perfect fine dining experience but also pleases your taste budes with the variety of foods it has to offer. This is probably the only restaurant in the area which serves awadhi food along with drinks and cocktails.

Location- It's on the first floor of the Hotel Maureen ( If you travel towards airport from Baguiati, it will be to your left,just after Chowman).

Decor- One word, "Splendid". The docor gives you that extravagant feel. Its bright and the seating area can accommodate a comfortable 40-50 people. If you are lucky,you might get the lovely 2 seater which has the view of busy city on one side.

Drinks:

Beach Party Liit- This is a 500 ml cocktail which has a taste pretty much every liquor in the house. It has Vodka,white rum,Gin,Tequila and Cointrue.

Strawberry Diqury- Probably the best we had in the night. Simple base of Bacardi White and a flavour of Strawberry and a taste that you don't forget.

Sunami- A mix of cranberry, vodka, whiskey, tequila and white rum. The presentation was nice but tasted average.

Food:

Panner Dil Bahara- A nice veg starter with a piece of panner topped with sattu and cheese.

Veg Akbari Sheek Kebab- These were like a baked pastry with a stuffing of potato. Tasted amazing and best part it looked superb.

Galouti Kebab- Oh my god.!!! They were just awesome. They were tender soft and had that perfect blend of spices (Highly recommend).

Samandar ka Khazana - Just as the name suggests, these were truely the hidden treasure of sea. The platter had tandoori prawn and a boneless ajwani fish. The prawn was just awesome and what to say about the fish, they just melted in your mouth.

Now after the amazing starters we were left with very little space for main course, hence we tried

Kachi Gosth ki Biryani- I wont say the best biryani in town but yes a biryani worth eating. Served in Handi, it had 2 Big pieces of Mutton/Chicken and a kachi biryani which was not dry and can be consumed without any gravy.

Murg Kumb ki Tari- I have never tried a awadhi chicken gravy with capsicum and mushrooms. Even the chicken had a stuffing of capsicum. But the gravy is too good to die for. A perfect combo with Butter Naan/Naan.

Overall a amazing place for dinein with your special one or your family in the Baguiati region. Please give it a shot and i am sure you...

Visited zahtar with family expecting a good time, however it turned into a nightmare as the service was very slow 😞 ..need to wait for a dish for more than 30minutes..i ordered chicken biryani, kadhai chicken, butter naan, crispy chilli baby corn ,chicken lollipop which were very okayish..Cheese garlic bread was good in tatse, however I must say they need to update their standards in terms of quality of food and services..the worst part was paneer tikka masala which was very salty and they had to replace it and then there was tandoori roti totally burn from the back side.. i understand that one can happen but all the 3 tandoori roti was burnt from the back side totally and I had to remove it to make it etable and the funny 🤣 part was when I order the 4th one that was not at all burn..so I wonder they would have done earlier but the butter was missing on the 4th one..The service was slow.. waiter was not atll acknowledging if you need something or checking on your table so if you want to eat there please avoid corners and sit at the middle as I assume there is problem of understaffing so hiring more staff or training them may solve the issue..one of the waiter was also rude as because when I complaint about the salty paneer and it was lately delievery post replacingw that I said that I ate all my tandoori roti without anything since there were two of us vegetarian then the waiter said me one roti is complementary for you and others are chargeable however we did pay for that extra tandoori roti..Also when I see the bill I order paneer tikka masala but the bill it was written paneer makhan malai.. Really disappointed! I must say nothing was good except for the ambience.

Not...

Didn't expected such great food but Zahtar made the visit worthwhile specially after the long lockdown. The ambiance of this place located inside The Maureen is just beautiful.

Although service was awful but not in the sense of behavior of the staffs. They took almost 1 hr 10 min to serve the food on table. That was really frustrating. Someone said "Sabr Ka Fal Mitha Hota Hai" and hell it was, the quality of food was amazing.

Navratan Khorma @ Rs.230 (4/5) : Wonderful blend of nine kind of veggies in white creamy gravy that tasted really nice. We had it with chapati, but any kind of bread will be perfect.

Murgh Bharta @ Rs.300 (5/5) : Shredded Chicken like authentic Bhartha but bit dry and spicy that tasted brilliant.

Murgh Jafrani Kofta @ Rs.300 (5/5) Such a flavorful dish with the delicious gravy and big Kofta balls tasted just incredible.

Kashmiri Pulao @ Rs.250 (4/5) : Brilliant quality rice cooked perfectly with lots of fruits in authentic way that tasted really sweet and went perfectly with the side dishes. Highly recommend.

Pricing mention on online menu card is Rs.100-150 less than their current prices that I felt is bit expensive. But quality of their food was very very good. I highly recommend this place, they just need to quick up the...
