Peshawri by Welcomhotel Vadodara — Restaurant in Gujarat

We visited Peshawari at The Welcome Hotel in Vadodara on 3/27/25. We were visiting from USA and celebrating our 15th Anniversary. Since we have been to The Bukhara at ITC Maurya in New Delhi we were looking forward to dining at this place. The ambience was decent. They sat us at a table of 8 vs 4, which was really weird given the entire place was empty. Then different severs rolled in at different times and placing our appetizers at the far empty end of the table .. super bizarre. The food was below sub par and extremely disappointing. Salty to start with. The food presentation was sloppy and given the reputation of the restaurant it was very surprising how they could let this mess leave the kitchen. The chicken was dry and tasteless, again heavy on the salt… there are other ingredients. The drink order the second time took forever and it arrived after we had paid the check. The famous daal Bukhara was dry, cold and not upto its known standards like the one in Delhi. We know good food and this was a disaster of a meal. 😞🙁

Update: 3/28 The Head of Food and Beverage contacted me and inquired to what transpired. He was generous and offered us a visit back with a complimentary meal and we were happy to know he cared and was willing to make things right. Unfortunately we were leaving the following day so we could not go back. I appreciate his thoughtfulness and willingness to make things right. It was much...

We visited the restaurant last week on occasion of my mother's 60th birthday. My parents visited this restaurant for the first time and were quite amazed at the world-class ambiance. We had ordered vegetarian cuisine here and the food, as expected, was amazing. Especially Dal Bukhara and the dessert (Kulfi) were out of this world.

The hospitality was great, the staff made us feel as comfortable as possible. This was important because it was my mother's first visit to a 5-star restaurant and she thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Though they have a limited menu that does not offer umpteen choices, whatever they have is of topnotch taste & is quite flavourful. This is important because I too personally prefer quality over quantity (options).

I would like to specially mention Mr. Dalvir Yadav for helping us with the recommendations and for being proactive in anticipating our family's taste. Not just this, he also arranged a complimentary cake for my mother (i had casually informed him about my mother's birthday earlier). It made our day - thanks to him if he is reading this.

The only downside was that the 'Dessert Platter' was not available, even though it was a part of the menu. We intended to taste all available desserts by ordering the platter.

All in all, if you are looking for a quaint place to dine, Peshawari should be one of the...

Peshawri is a timeless treasure that has been a tradition for years, and dining here is nothing short of a delightful experience. While the menu is limited, the restaurant more than compensates with its warm ambiance and exceptional flavors. From the moment you step in, you can feel the care and pride that have gone into maintaining its legacy.

The service was impeccable, with the staff ensuring we felt welcomed and well taken care of. The quality of the food stood out immediately—you can tell everything was prepared fresh and under the highest hygienic standards.

The Paneer Khurchan was an absolute highlight, with its rich, vibrant flavors that had us savoring every bite. Paired with the roomali roti, soft and perfectly made, it was a match made in culinary heaven. Another standout was the paneer cooked in the tandoor—it was incredibly delicious, with a smoky, flavor-packed profile that showcased the expertise of the chefs.

Peshawri isn’t just a meal; it’s an experience steeped in tradition and authenticity. Whether you’re a regular or visiting for the first time, it’s a place that promises and delivers satisfaction with every visit. A must-visit for anyone who appreciates the finer nuances of...
