It's been a year I shift to Mumbai and I have tried so many hotels and restaurants but nothing can match Shree Balaji Restaurant. We were looking for a venue to celebrate our daughter's birthday and on the way we came across Balaji Restaurant which is in Mira Bhayandar west. With zero expectations we went and spoke to Mr. Shashi there. He gave us all the details on venue, party hall, seating arrangements, budget etc. He was so kind and generous to us. He made sure our requirements fit in our budget and we booked the venue.
On the day of my daughter's birthday as we entered, everything was taken care of so well. We dint have to run here and there. The decoration part done by them amazed us. It was perfect. We gave them theme and it was executed so well. The best part was their quick service on anything. We were in need of photographer and on spot they arranged for us.
Coming to food, welcome drink was served to everyone by their staff and it was just not kept in one corner. Every now and then guest entered they made sure they get a drink. Starters were served individually to each one of them. We had ordered paneer chilly and spring roll. Paneer chilly which was just heavenly in taste. The garlic flavour was amazing, the sauces used were in right proportion. Panner was way too soft. Spring rolls were also the highlight as they were oil free. Deep fried to perfection. Everyone loved it. We noticed everyone loved it so much that they did take staters second time.
Coming to main course (dinner) We had ordered for Tomato soup- despite Tomatoes being so costly they made sure we don't miss out on actual tomato flavour soup. The bread was fresh.
Salad was served in huge quantity as well.
Mix veg curry- Delicious one. The veggies were so fresh and flavours were well balanced. They made sure they maintain a good balance of all spices too.
Paneer Lababdar- the gravy was so so so good. Paneer being so soft blended well with gravy. Delicious one.
Tandoori roti and naan- every now and then they kept serving hot rotis and just not kept everything once for all
Pulao and raita- this was something I loved it so very personally. Rice was steamed so well and perfect. Raita was amazing. The thickness of raita was way too good. Again fresh veggies used.
Dal and plain rice- Dal was amazing. The tadka that was given to it was something to die for. Again plain rice perfectly boiled.
Gulab jamun- soft and spongy. Sweetness to the point.
Overall Review Food 5/5 Food quantity and quality 5/5 Ambience 5/5 Service 5/5 Hospitality 5/5
Highly recommended place to everyone who expects the best for their events. I would also appreciate Mr. Shashi for being so patient and making sure everything was perfect and now this place is go to place for me and my family...

ย ย ย Read moreVery very bad experience. I took my family for the first time, also said them that's it's our 1st time here. He said to try thali as it's best , so we ordered 1 thali, we clearly asked what all will be there, will it best, how much sabzi, roti size, etc, also asked him to show a picture if he has. So he told try once it will be best and you will not forget and so we ordered & it's true that will never forget such a bad thali experience in life yet, very little sabzi, roti size like a small katori, price charging like giant. Then there's insects, flies, lizards coming. Small Flies irritated us while eating alot, came into our food too. We repeatedly said to do something but they just ignored. We shifted our table, for that also they started arguing. Then we ordered chole bhature and that came after almost 50min, generally in normal restaurants it takes very less time. And after it came the bhature was not at all properly cooked and very oily. We told take again and give after proper cooking, it again took them 20mins, all our chole was cooled down till then and what they gave was just same bhatura with extra oil again. We paid bill and told it was our first time and bad experience in life till date, he said we can give you Rs20 cashback, we said we don't want discount we wanted good service and food (already mentioned that we came first time here). And their owner/senior whatever with his ego/attitude said now what can be done you had ate and payment done will see next time. Never in my dream thought of such from this restaurant, it's just infrastructure good from outside, but inside service, food, atmosphere everything from our end not...
