HOTEL MARTAND MALHAR — Restaurant in Maharashtra

We finally decided to visit 'Martand Malhar' after going through some positive reviews and appetizing pictures.

This place is located at Chinchwad opp. Aher gardens. Martand Malhar is known for their Unlimited Non-veg Thalis. I would surely recommend this place for sea-food lovers and one who wants to try out Maharashtrian style non-veg preparations.

The ambience is quite unique. You would find some Marathi serial posters, deepika & Ranveer singh pictures on the wall. The place have dhabba style sitting arrangements.

I really loved their idea of open Kitchen. They do invite their customers to visit their kitchen. I would say this place is well maintained on their hygiene & service.

Now finally coming towards food. We ordered below dishes from the menu :

🔺Alani soup - Alani is combination of chicken & Mutton soup.It is one sub-preparation while preparing Chicken/Mutton Rassa in Maharashtrian style. It had least amount of spices and yet had an incredible taste. This has a lot of health benefits and I highly recommend this hot and delicious soup in this coming winters.

🔺Starters -

This will surely make our taste buds happy.

🔸Paneer Hot pan & Chicken Hot Pan - After trying out some Authentic Maharastrian starters, We thought of trying out some Chinese starter too. And, believe me both the dishes just left me drooling over it. This dish was served like a sizzler in a Hot pan.
