Kokani Darbar Restaurant — Restaurant in Nashik

Date of visit: 13/8/2022 Time: Dinner Food Taste: 3/5 Ambience: 2/5 Budget Friendly: 2/5

It was a long weekend and my family decided to plan for Nashik & Igatpuri for a short vacation and stayed at Nashik for a couple of nights. After exploring web and consulting a couple of my friends for great non veg places KOKNI DARBAR was everyone's recommendation and so one the very first dinner in Nashik we headed to this place. It was a crowded old Nashik area with narrow lanes and highly populated crowd movement (Thank god we decided to take an auto to reach this place). It was located in the interior and one could only visit by asking the locals as the front of the place is too small with almost no visbility and illumination. Although they made us sit inside the family zone still I would not recommend anyone to visit this place with women. Dishes that we ordered:

1. Mutton Fry Masala: Thick Red medium spiced gravy with mostly chaap pieces in it. It was good and no as such complains about the taste. 3/5

2. Mutton Manchurian: Deep fried mutton pieces sauteed with chinese sauces and finely chopped garlic, onions and capsicum. Something different and worth a try but found expensive. Half a plate ( 5 small pieces) was around 400. Would rate 4/5

3. Chicken Biryani: All I could say is they made a fool out of us. Butter chicken gravy topped with plain white rice. Thats it!! It was faaaaarr away from the word Biryani. Would rate 1/5

4. Roomali Roti: They were ok but could have been much softer.

5. Caramel Custard: It was amazing and worth a try. Rate 4/5

Also we tried ordering more items such as seekh kebabs, Haleem, chicken tikka biryani, salli boti but most of the items from menu were unavailable and we had to stick to their recommendation as per availability. The service was a lil slow too.

Overall coming to my experience, Its a totally overhyped place and definitely...

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Kokni Darbar for lunch recently, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The warm and inviting ambiance immediately set the stage for what would be a memorable culinary journey.

We opted to try their special dishes: Murg Musallam, Special Chilli, and Tandoori, and each dish exceeded our expectations in every way.

The Murg Musallam was a true highlight. This dish was a masterpiece, featuring a whole chicken marinated in a rich blend of spices and slow-cooked to perfection. The flavors were incredibly deep and aromatic, with a subtle sweetness that balanced the savory spices beautifully. The presentation was stunning, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail and passion for culinary excellence.

The Special Chilli was another standout. The chicken pieces were tender and flavorful, coated in a deliciously spicy sauce that had just the right amount of kick. The balance of heat and flavor was impeccable, making each bite a delightful explosion of taste.

The Tandoori dish was equally impressive. The chicken was marinated to perfection and cooked in the tandoor, resulting in juicy, tender meat with a slightly smoky flavor. The spices were well-balanced, enhancing the natural flavors of the chicken without overpowering them.

In addition to the incredible food, the service at Kokni Darbar was top-notch. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, ensuring that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. Their passion for the food they served was evident and added to the overall exceptional dining experience.

Kokni Darbar is a gem of a restaurant, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy authentic and flavorful Indian cuisine. We left with satisfied appetites and a strong desire to return and explore more of their menu. Highly...

NEW DELHI:   The Centre’s top advisory body, Niti Aayog, has agreed to a Dental Council of India proposal to allow dentists to practice as general physicians after a bridge course. Sources told this newspaper that in a meeting between senior members of the Aayog and a representative from the DCI, it was decided that modalities of the course would be explored. The development comes following a meeting in the Prime Minister’s Office earlier this month in which it was urged that unconventional methods be adopted to address the shortage of doctors in the country, particularly in rural areas. “In the said meeting it has been inter-alia decided to explore the option of allowing dentists to practise family medicine/mainstream medicine following a bridge course,” a letter by Niti Aayog inviting the DCI had said. “Accordingly, a meeting to discuss issues on leveraging dentists to provide primary health care thereby reducing the gaps of current shortfall of doctors in the country is scheduled to be held on 22 April 2019.” The DCI had last year also sent a proposal to the medical education regulator—Medical Council of India — but the previous council did not take it forward. The DCI has proposed a post Bachelor of Dental Science (BDS) bridge course running for 3 years. The council, in its submission, has said that admission would be either through a common entrance exam or through cumulative marks secured in the BDS course, or even a combination. As per the DCI, the syllabus curriculum, scheme of examination, method of evaluation, degrees and registration all these criteria will be the same as...
