Shiv Krishna Hotel — Restaurant in Mumbai

We have some fond memories attached to this restaurant from our childhood days. Clearly it is one of our most favourite restaurant in our residential hub Girgaon .

The hospitality of the staff is always really touching and this time our hearts were won by the sweet gesture of Mr Nayak .

Here are some our all time favourite delicacies of this super cool place.

Manchow Soup : Had a nice crunch of veggies within along with a perfect taste as expected. The crisp noodles were also nicely done.

Corn On Toast : Expected this to be a bit more cheesy however the mix of mashed corn did taste well over the crisp toast .

Tandoori Cheesy Kulcha : . This one is definitely a must try appetizer of the place. The stuffing within the buttery kulcha is super luscious .

Achari Kichadi Arancini : We are not a big Arancini fan however on strong recommendation of Mr Nayak we gave this one a positive try and to our surprise we really enjoyed it. The dumplings of dal Kichadi topped with achari Mayo & papad were extremely detectable and went well with salsa served along side.

Gini Dosa : Wanted to try some dosa & this one caught our eyes on that menu so we went for it straight away . The stuffing again was extravagantly fest and yummy .

We were too full to go for more dishes from main section after all the above so we requested for the following mains but in tasting portions only

Veg Chilli Milli : Best delicacy of the outlet from their mains section . An impeccable mix of spicy and tangy Flavours .

Triple Paneer : The presentation was too good . Three hanging tiny buckets containing three different paneer variants . Amritsari paneer did wonders amongst the three .

Gulab Jamun with Vanilla Ice cream : Can't ask for a better end to a scrumptious meal . Indeed our most favourite dessert and definitely a must try when out here .

Overall a memorable experience and was fun to visit a restaurant from my childhood diary .

Thank You for reading my detailed Review .

Mithil...

Iconic restaurant located at Charni Road, perhaps needs no introduction, was in the vicinity and was craving for some yummy Chaat and fast food! Shiv Krishna was our stop for that night. Named after two deities, one can expect it to be an all veg restaurant. The moment you enter the restaurant you can see beautiful paintings of Lord Krishna in various a avatars all over. Restaurant has two levels, upper deck has AC.

Talking about what all we had at Shiv Krishna -

As mentioned earlier was craving for some Chaat so we started with Sev Puri. Neatly presented to us. Sev Puri is usually famous of all street vendors and hawkers in Mumbai but you get a similar taste of it sitting in the comforts of this place. We followed it up with Veg Pizza. I would personally say it's made in the Indian way and I have no qualms in saying that I love the pizza made in this style. Very homely style and I enjoyed it.

Along with food, we ordered for couple of drinks - Paan Mojito and Kit Kat Shake. Mojito was refreshing with fresh Paan flavor. Good part is no essence. Kit Kat Shake was decent. Moving on, we next tried the famous Pav Bhaji of Shiv Sagar. It definitely features amongst the top selling list and most popular dish. Again presented in a very neat way. Was pretty stuffed by now, but the manager suggested us to also try the Tandoori Cheese Kulcha which is a relatively new dish introduced by the restaurant. Served in a starter format, so quite unique in its way. Stuffing is a mix of paneer and cheese mashed well and grilled well. Stuffed in Kulcha covering and kept in tandoor. Would recommend people to try this dish in case they haven't tried it elsewhere.

Last but not the least, was really excited to have the Cassatta ice-cream. Have had it really long back and was excited to see it as a part of the menu here. A combo of chocolate, tutti fruti, butter scotch ice-cream with nuts used for garnishing. Just loved the ice-cream and would love to revisit the place just...

One of the few good old veg restaurants in the area, Shiv Krishna serves delicious North and South Indian food. In terms of the latter, I really liked the Medu Wada and Sada Dosa, both crisp and fresh with sambhar and coconut chutney.

Their Pav Bhaji is one of the best in Mumbai, perfectly balanced in spice and taste! Must have!

Amongst the North Indian, I recommend the following:

Starters: Paneer Babycorn Ajwain Cottage cheese and babycorn marinated in red masala and deep fried!

Main Course:

Veg Chandni - Assorted vegetables, paneer and noodles cooked in a mildly spiced curry. Something innovative and yumm!

Methi Tikki Masala - a Shiv Krishna special, this has tikkis made of methi in a green gravy. Healthy and tasty!

Those who like sweet gravies over spicy ones, Navratna Kurma is a good option with mix veggies in a cashew gravy.

Amongst the Koftas, go for Makhmali Kofta that has paneer dumplings in a yellowish gravy and Birbali Kofta that has vegetable dumplings in a brown gravy.

Mushroom lovers can order the Mushroom Tikka Biryani instead of the regular veg and paneer versions.

As compared to the Indian food, their Chinese (in that I tried the Triple Schezwan and Veg Fried Rice and Veg Manchow Soup) is quite average.

They are known to have Jain options for almost everything on the menu though I personally have never called for any Jain dish but it's definitely a plus point!

Service is courteous and there is an AC section above. The seating downstairs is quite limited but yes its comfortable. Prices are in line with the quality they serve. Do visit if you are in the area and looking for good...
