State Bhavan: Maharashtra Sadan, KG Marg, Connaught Place, New Delhi
By Thetastingfork
No dinner at home? Let's go to Maharashtra Sadan! That is how this state bhavan is for me. It's the prettiesttt state bhavan we have in Delhi! So grand, so neat, so polished- it's maintained really well. They have proper sofas and cushioned chairs for the seating, and your experience becomes a really comfortable one because of this. The walk from the parking till the main entrance at night is just beautiful. Because of the greenery around, the place is really cool.
Their food is very delicious and homemade. They have the concept of buffet for lunch and dinner, for only 100 bucks all inclusive. The patent in their buffet is Dal, rice, roti, 2 subjis (1 dry and 1 semi dry/gravy), pickle and papad. Their dal chawal is to die for!! Never do I enjoy dal chawal at home like I do it over here. Their dry subji, no matter which one it is, is equally delicious. So so much flavor in it! My favorite dry subji over here is pitha that they cook in onions and tomatoes. Their Pakode ki Subji, Pitha in gravy and other dishes are good too.
The thali includes a sweet. I've tried their rice kheer, sevaiyan kheer, fruit custard, badam halwa and shahi tukda on different occasions, and the kheer and fruit custard are my favourite! A portion of dessert, if wanted extra other than the thali, is only for 20-30 bucks.
They have an extensive ala carte menu too that has a lot of lip-smacking non vegetarian dishes. My money is on their Kolhapuri Chicken. Cannot describe how good this is!! Order some naan or roti to go with it and you're set. They also have a very nice Kadhai Paneer and Bharwa Bhindi that is a must try!
They don't have their menu printed anywhere, and only tell you the names of dishes that they have available on that particular day. Their service is very prompt and the prices are really low. Delicious food in a nice ambience and at such pocket-friendly prices. One of my most favorite and frequented bhavans in Delhi.
