Mehfil Restaurant — Restaurant in Gujarat

Umm.. it's located in such a cozy corner of the town that it's not visible from normal traffic view nowadays.

You can find it just opposite of the most popular Jain Dharnidhar derasar ,Vasna.

The entrance is pretty cool. The waiting area is allocated just in~front of the main door which becomes quite uncomfortable in many instances.

There's usually a wait time of 20 minutes no matter what day it is. Also, it is always crowded. But here it attracts the most trendy and classy crowd just because of it's taste.

It's a perfect family restaurant. 🤗

Well, talking about ambience; then I'd like to say that things could be much more better. Being such a small place you would always here the talks of your neighbours table !! 😅 However, the interior is now lit awesome !!!

On the other hand the Food will definitely let you come here again next time !😍 They serve the best of its kind Punjabi cuisine. Punjabi thali is their speciality. They serve pure whole wheat flour rotti here. Which is good for your tummy and foodies too ! Also, they Punjabi sabzi rocks the menu card. They also serve Chinese and Italian nowadays. However, I'd like to add that one should never try it's Mehfil special Punjabi sabzi ,believe me guys it was hell pathetic in taste !!! It was really very untasty and flavourless. In desert you must go for it Gulab jamun ! 😍

The Staff service is pretty fast and good.

Value for money 10 on 10.

Wheelchair unaccessible here.

However, despite of all these flaws and flawns looking for...

I am writing this review in respect of Mr.Indrapalsingh Bhatia. I would like to narrate an experience shared by my wife. This happened yesterday when she and my Mother-in-law visited Mehfil restaurant to collect their food parcel. Order was quick and food was prepared in no time. They left restaurant and my wife was taking her vehicle out and my Mother-in-law was holding food parcel. Accidentally food parcel slipped from my mother-in-law's hands and fell on ground. All food was wasted. As our 05 year old son and old age aunt were eagerly waiting for food at home hence my wife decided to go back and reorder . She repeated the same order at front desk. Mr.Indrapalsingh surprisingly asked her for repeating the order. My wife explained him the scenario. Then she took her wallet out for payment. At her surprise Mr.Indrapalsingh denied to accept money as this was an accident. Not only that he sent his personal to carry parcel till my wife and Mother-in-law set on their vehicle. Listening to this my Mother-in-law had tears in her eyes. Mr. Indrapalsingh You have inspired me today with your kindness and generosity. I would recommend this restaurant to all my friends and colleagues not just for is great tasting food but also for Mr.Inderpalsingh who owns this place. Everything would be better if more people were like you! Your community and family is lucky to have you arround. From now onwards your restaurant will always be on top of the chart in my list of favourite places for meals. Thank you...

My orders: Cheese Angoori (Kofta), Paneer Toofani, Hyderabadi Biryani and Cheese Naan.

I have to be critical about the food (2 star) because there is severe imabalance in price-to-taste ratio.

While ordering sabzi: 1 of our order was Cheese Angoori (which was supposed to be in Red gravy as mentioned in the Menu) and another was Paneer Toofani (which was supposed to be spicy).

The reality:

1. Cheese Angoori did not have an ounce of cheese-like flavour. Instead it was just dry kofta balls floating in gravy. Also the menu mentions that this sabzi is supposed to be with red gravy. I don't think it was matching any shade of red.

2. Paneer Toofani was confirmed to be spicy and was recommended by the waitstaff but wasn't spicy at all. It was vertically cut paneer pieces in bland gravy. Even the basic condiments like salt were off the mark.

3. Hyderabadi Biryani was okay. I wouldn't say I loved it or hated it but it was right in the middle. Still ₹270 is way too much for what is being served. (Bonus: they are generous enough to compliment it with Raita alongside)

4. Cheese naan, this too was simple (I feel some basic restaurants serve way better than Mehfil's). Not something that would blow the minds away.

Final verdict: The recommendations that we all receive regarding Mehfil might have be valid in the past but today they are way way way off track.

P.s. This review may seem gravely critical but truth being told is...
