Good, VFM Mughlai fare...
I've been an Andheri resident for almost all my years in Mumbai. And I have tried a lot of these places which rule Andheri. However, Zaffran turned out to be tucked away in a corner and hence away from my glance.
Went to this place finally after doing a Burrp on this one, and while there were mixed reviews, had to take that chance to try out a new joint.
The ambiance, I agree, gives it the wind of a seedy joint, like the previous reviewers said, the Pink does not give exactly a very enthusiastic experience. But heavens grace, everything else turned out to be gooooood!
I had no intentions of having the regular butter chicken, and hence I decided to go with our waiter's choice for the dishes we were to order. We called for Harissa Jali Kabab in the starters, which were actually huge portions of Chicken legpieces (boneless) in Harissa (Google up to see if you can find a meaning on the herb). The sumptous appetizer downed, the main course was called for. they had a bread called "Zaffrani Taftan" which had its dough made in milk and not in water... not too oily, and good and soft to eat. Murg Patiala was the main course dish, and the portions were huge. Dal Makhani came along.
Boy, the portions were so huge that we had to give our Dal the miss and only finish our meal with the chicken dish. But how can we pass Desserts. They had a signature Chenna Payesh, which again had a unique preparation and was worthy of our palatte.
The portions huge, the prices reasonable, and the Biryani yet not tried. I am gunning for this place soon, and he could be serious competition to my regular joint "Just Biryani" across the road!
You enjoy yourselves when you get here.... :)
