The best fried chicken and beef in town
A place I rate right on top of the charts! Have been a regular there for the last 18 years- right from my college days (Govt. Dental College) when me and a bunch of my fellow foodies use to eat there at least thrice a week. A very satisfying (huge) meal would cost us all of 15 rupees back then........
Cut to the present.....new management (taken over a few years back by the Bade Miyan but mercifully, the quality of food remains more or less the same. Yes, the chicken is not as humongous as it used to be and the roti's as thinner- but i still don't complain).
The place is actually quite old and run down- reasonably clean though! Don't miss the old warnings still plastered on the walls ("Food will not be served to over-drunken persons").
Right guess- no booze here but have no fear- old faithful Gokul is right across the street.
If you are in the mood for some major hogging- start with Chicken Fry - this is piece of Fried Chicken (you can choose the body part you want- Breast or Leg) along with a fried potato- both with a delicious light reddish batter- Yum!!
The standard order is Chicken Fry Masala with Roti. It is the same Chicken Fry but with some yummy gravy. The roti's are divine (used to be much better)
If you are a Beef eater then don't miss Beef Kanda (onion) Fry. It is not on the menu but order that instead of the regular beef fry (with tomato's and potato's). Top all this with a delicious caramel custard.
Soft drinks available. Can also try the mutton korma, biryani etc.
Can have a full meal in under 100 rupees.

If you wanna beef, better be here
The hotel is excellent. There are not so much varieities but the beef out here is really good.
The caramel custard( a special sweet of the restaurant) is one you dont wanna miss.
The rotis served are also special. The place is not very hygeinic but that would not stop you if you really want to have a real go at beef.
Chicken and mutton dishes are equally good.
To sum up, it is should be best-bet for a non-veg restaurant in Mumbai.

VFM at its best,......
Visited Bagdadi finally after reading so much on Burrp!…. It is behind regal theater very close to Bade Miyan. I have visited Bade Miyan earlier and wondered why it was so crowded and Bagdadi was seldom….Anyways the approach to this restaurant is quite shady…you may also bump into a few roadside drunkards….
Got a table without any waiting as I had expected….and as suggested by fellow burrpers ordered Chilly Chicken fry with Khameri Rotis…Boy, these Rotis were huge, crisp & awesome….Chilly chicken was good though not out of this world….It was more of a chicken fry masala with a gravy full of chillies…I checked up with the waiter & he told me they even prepare it in a chinese way…,..Serving quantity was pretty good…
They serve a speacial preparation every day and on that particular day they had chicken Kashmiri, which we ordered with another Roti …..It was better than chicken chilly though a little oily…The waiter suggested that you may even try chicken handi, Bhuna & Kadai next time..
With a bottle of water & a soft drink the damage(for 2) was 160 Rs. Now where will you get that Value for money in Mumbai? …..

For Arabi Food
Arun Kolatkar, the first Indian poet to have received the Commonwealth poetry Award for the English poetry collection Jejuri, took me to Bagdaadi some 6 years ago. He insisted that I should try thier kababs. Nothing fancy to look at but the taste was authentic. So was masoorghosh daal. Thier speciality was and i am sure it is even now the chicken tandoor with naan roti. You will see most of the Arab clientele favouring this combination.
Arun is no more. But i am indebted to him fot taking me there.

Best food
Do not judge this book by its cover. My girlfriend is a total foodie and suggested this place, I said yes because she knows all, but when I saw the outside I almost hopped back in the Mini and sped away. It would have been a mistake! It was some of the best Thai food I've ever had. My first bite was with hesitation but the last shovel of pad Thai in my mouth was met with sadness as it was all gone. We had the pad Thai with chicken, pad won sen, chicken satay, crab rangoon & baby egg rolls, we like food! The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the egg rolls, my girlfriend said they were great so it's just me. Also, some of the best tasting cucumber salad ever. Everything was fresh and flavorful, served quickly and great you can't beat the value. Ignore the outside and enjoy a wonderful meal!
