Bhagat Tarachand(ORIGINAL SINCE 1895) — Restaurant in Navi Mumbai

Bhagat Tarachand may not be fancy but the food here speaks for itself. The meal here is clearly prepared with heart. We had ordered a special thali along with moong dal halwa and rabdi to our office. The packing of the thali was neat and impressive. Coming to the thali, it included :

3 SPECIAL CHAPATIS : Packed in a foil inside the box, the chapatis were still hot. Also they were loaded with butter. The goodness of these chapatis is ought to make you like it. The 3 chapatis along with the sabzis is in itself very filling.

PANEER TIKKA MASALA : The thali always consists of one mandatory paneer dish be it paneer bhurji, paneer masala etc. We were served with paneer tikka masala. Rich, creamy and indulgent, definitely not to be missed. They are perfectly cooked.

MIXED VEGETABLE : The second sabzi accompanies is usually aloo methi, bhaingan bharta or mixed vegetable. The mixed vegetable served in our thali was simple, enjoyable and flavourful. Sure to please everyone.

PULAV + MIX RAITA + PAPAD : If you like properly spiced and generous portion of rice which is cooked in homely ghee, then the pulav served here along with papad and mix raita will hit the right spot for you.

DAL FRY: This dal is given ghee ka chauk. It imparts flavours with familiar texture without being heavy.

CHAAS : Warning! Addictive. The more you have, the more you want. It's so good that it will make your thirsty heart thrilled with every sip PS : When you order the special thali in their restaurant, you get the chaas complimentary in their trademark beer bottle. While in home/office delivery, chaas is not complimentary.

GULAB JAMUN : For desserts, you can never go wrong with gulab jamun. They were hot and large in size. You wont stop popping it into your mouth.

We had ordered moong dal halwa and rabdi separately.

MOONG DAL HALWA : Dont you dare leave without ordering their irresistible moong dal halwa. Made in pure ghee, it would be a sin to miss this if you love moong dal halwa.

RABDI : Thick, rich and creamy, seasoned with dry fruits, you'd be really missing out if you didn't order this.

This place is surely a crowd pleaser. The consumer satisfaction is so high that you can feast here without breaking a bank. I would definitely try out this place once more and run through other dishes. Kudos...

While returning from Mumbai to Pune, we had pleasure to dine in at Original and Famous Bhagat Tarachand near APMC market, Vashi.

This is the branch of original Bhagat Tarachand at Kalbadevi, Mumbai which is in existence & very popular since 1895 (can you believe 130 years). This is so popular veg restaurant offering simple but very tasty veg food for lunch & dinner that now I believe there are multiple restaurants with prefix from A to Z (mainly restaurants with same names started by offshoots of original Bhagat Tarachand) in Mumbai.

But we found original is original. The restaurant had minimalistic decore, very clean atmosphere and very tasty food. Papad Churi, Ghee Tadkewali Dal, ghee coated fulka, Sev Tamata, Lasuni Methi, the dishes which made Bhagat Tarachand famous were available here and exactly the same we ordered. Each dish was very very tasty (it is so tasty that we ended up eating 2-3 additional fulkas for dinner).

Serving delicious Chhas (butter milk) in beer bottle was started by Bhagat Tarachand, a tradition, which they still maintain and we definitely were not going to go against tradition and hence enjoyed chass in beer bottle (1 full 650/750 ml of thick Chhas per person). The Chhas was so delicious and fresh that we did not even had to sprinkle chhat masala on top. After gulping down one full bottle of delicious Chhas or butter milk, we realised by Chhas in Kachh region of Gujarat is called Kachhi Beer (कच्छी बिअर).

Another great item (which I believe no other restaurant in world serves) was Papad Churi. Papad Churi here is really amazing and I was told that people come here mainly to enjoy papad Churi and also take packed papad Churi home after lunch / dinner.

Overall, our experience of original Bhagat Tarachand was really amazing and this branch of Bhagat Tarachand restaurant really lived upto its reputation and we also now understand why original Bhagat Tarachand is thriving since last 130 years and why there are so many namesake restaurants with same name with prefix.

We ended up having so much in dinner that we had to toss up to decide who is going to drive back to Pune after dinner (as everyone wanted to have comfortable sleep on...

Bhagat Tarachand in Sanpada is a popular choice for authentic North Indian and Gujarati cuisine.

I’d rate it a solid 5 stars for the exceptional taste and quality of the food. The flavors are rich, and the dishes like dal fry, paneer tikka, and churma laddoo truly stand out. The freshness and authenticity of each dish make it a delightful experience for anyone looking to indulge in delicious vegetarian fare.

However, when it comes to service and pricing, it falls slightly short, earning a 4-star rating in my opinion. The restaurant tends to get very crowded, especially during peak hours, leading to longer wait times not just for a table but even for ordering an extra roti or rice. The service staff, while polite, often seems overwhelmed, which impacts the overall dining experience.

Additionally, the pricing feels a bit on the higher side given the portion sizes. For the price paid, the quantity could be more generous. Despite these minor setbacks, Bhagat Tarachand remains a must-visit for food lovers who prioritize taste and quality over service speed.

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
