Istaqbaal Restaurant — Restaurant in Nagpur

Being a super foodie is not an easy Job, I have been exploring diverse range of delicious food from different cultures and places from the past a decade. Yesterday my cousin brother Danish took me to "ISTAQBAAL" It was really an epitome of greetings, as they called it Istaqbaal. I really appreciate the humble owner of the restaurant he literally greets (Istaqbaal) us while getting into the place. See, posting or reviewing just about food is not my type because indulgent food does not include just food it is all about food, ambience and presentation. This is a disclaimer of my post though, lol. So where were we? Yes! @Istaqbaal The ambience is super elegant with maintained proper lightings, the place is completely hygienic, sanitized and i must say they follow all the norms and safely rules of pandemic. Let's talk about the food now, finally! Huh, Before writing about the food I think I'll run out of words today, the food is so so much taste and super authentic. Let me tell you my must try starter "Tau Chicken Kebab" It is something, while writing a review my mouth started watering, lol. Just try it if you in nagpur or around, I hope you'll surely thank me later. then about the main course they have authentic mughalai dishes and breads, I tasted butter chicken with butter naan. Well about the expense, its an pocket friendly restaurant, like 1000 for two people. I super recommend Istaqbaal Restaurant, just try it and i hope...

NEW: They have degraded the taste as well as the dining hygiene, so I am revising my rating from 4 to 2. Also on zomato/swiggy they are selling grave meat in the name of Haleem, which is strictly forbidden by Islamic law. You should not do such things simply to expand your business. OLD: "Istaqbaal" the name represents a place where you can take your family, friends, & colleagues for dinner. I am visiting twice in a week not only because they are serving good foods but also because of their staff's behaviour, they are humble and honest including Saif bhai and the guy who is taking order, I am sorry that i couldn't mentioning his name. Next time I will definitely ask his name.

Very good space for sitting but no wasroom facilities for freshness...!! Yes, Food is also Fabulous...!! Amazing taste, resembling with north Indian zaika, I use to prefer because I am from Delhi...don't forget to try chicken patties, paneer lachcha, haleem, biryani and many more. Also, price is little higher but not worthless at all. Now it's your time to guess your customer @Istaqbaal. Hint is, My last visit was yesterday...

Easy to locate restaurant. May face a parking issue. We went there for lunch. Hospitable Owner.

We went upstairs to sit. It's a compact yet neat and classic sitting area.

We ordered unlimited thali that comprises hot n sour soup, two tandoor and two Chinese Chicken Starters, Chicken Junglee and butter naan in main course and Chicken Briyani to wrap up. All the listed things were unlimited.

Chinese chicken starters, particularly chicken black pepper, were delicious. Chicken Junglee, one of their signature dishes had a mild tang to it. As it was early lunch time and the biryani was made at that very hour it was not mixed properly but I am sure it will be sapid to taste once well blended.

The ideal time to visit is around 3:00 for lunch. It is a reasonably...
