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? …..

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.

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!

To all you people out there... you do not eat chicken at bagdadi... you eat beef.... beef biryani, beef chilly fry and those huge rotis...
the food quality may not be as good as it was about 3 years back but its still good.
the service.. excellent, though in a place like this it wouldnt matter....
the only problem is that if you are alone you have to share the table with 6 other people... that kinda kills my appetite but if u r in a big group... fun fun fun.
