The expectations were high when I visited Cita Pani this evening. It was one of its kind back in the days when fast food and Turkish/Arabian cuisine was not available in plenty (like these days). The first thing I noticed was how badly the place was organised. The staff was not wearing any uniform (which I feel should be in place for a unit like Cita Pani). Hence, it was difficult to find someone to talk, mainly to know about the menu/main attractions etc. We wanted to order chicken kebab and asked the counter guy how many pieces were there in half portion. Since he mentioned 6 pieces, we went for full portion. It took more than 20 minutes to deliver, which was expected. On reaching home, we were greeted with huge chunks of deep fried chicken pieces (not at all like the usual kebab pieces that you would expect). It was really bland and extremely dry (due to deep frying for a long time). So, overall I'd say it was just an average experience. Pro tip: Don't order kebab here and you might end up disappointed like me. What I have understood is, people come here mainly for shawarma dishes (of course loaded with mayonnaise 😁). PS: They have introduced a new dish called Cocktail Shawarma (chicken pieces with cabbage, mayonnaise and french fries). I guess it's popular already!

Only fantastic thing to tell about cita pani is their location and neat store. Now the food. I ordered the dynamite chicken, which claims to be the best seller of the store. Yet its a disappointment. I have had the item many time over various store, so i can without dout this is a street copy at the most disgusting level The black olives are what make the dish stand out. I hardly found more then a couple of them. There is huge delay in service and very disrespecting staffs They even tried to scam me with tap and pay 😒. All staffs are north indians and sometimes they really don't understand what customers really trying to ask. The place was so hot and the ac was set to so high it wasn't helping at all. Ambiance is good. But every else is luck.

We ve had dinner from this restaurant quite a few times and I can say that it is a very decent eatery serving tasty foods at affordable rates. The soups i trued were not authentic but tasty. Mandi with both mandi chicken, and peri peri chicken are tasty with the rice having a distinct flavour and texture. The mixed fried rice we had simply stole the show. It was surprisingly delicious with a peppery twist. Tje shaway chicken too deserves a special mention, because its surprisingly juicy till the bone. The staff too are very alert and helpful. Overall the dine in experience was decent.

The worst shawarma I ever had in my life is from this place. Khubooz served with the shawarma was stone cold. After I complained, a person (look like the owner) came, took the plate to kitchen and kept in microwave and came back. This is the kind of service you will get here. The employees were walking around without a mask. The waiter came and described the types of shawarma they have on menu. I order two large spicy plate shawarma and ended up with a normal shawarma with chilli powder mixed. And the taste was average. The place is a hit and miss.

Heart of city. Parking was limited but available. I used to go there years before when it used to be famous. So this time when I have tried I expected it to be better upstairs where it was family seating. The washrooms and basins were dirty and damaged the restaurants appeal. Ac was not really cool as expected. Staff was fine and we dint feel like having much from there and hence had a quick snack and left. Mojitos was really not good and needs improvement. Snacks were okay okay.. The place really needs some renovation.
