Do not know why they call it cafe....because they serve everything here.
Love the kababs, kheema, chicken tikka, with the large naans followed by biryani rice gravy maar ke.

The very positive reviews on burrp made us venture there for dinner last Sat...and we were not disappointed! The kheema baida roti was tasty, albeit very oily. The dabba gosht was simply outstanding and went well with chapatis. The chicken tikka biryani was right up there with the best I've ever had. We first opted for the reshmi tikka biryani (burrpers' recommendation) but the waiter said it would be "too sweet" and suggested the chicken tikka variant. After the fab main course, caramel custard was the apt way to end the meal.
We've been Rajasthan (Khar SV Road) faithfuls for a long time, but I suspect we may stray this way more often now...

The title sums it up nicely, doesn't it? I visit this place sometimes and more often call for their foodstuff and they inadvertently always leave a little smile of sweet satisfaction on my face (that and the overwhelming need to catch 40 winks!)
I love their Biryani's, esp the Chicken tikka and Reshmi version. Kebab's are likewise just as good, as are most of the gravies. A nice thing about their Chicken and Mutton Biryani's is the fact you can call for half if you so choose to. The Roti rolls are also a great option for someone who wants to skimp on the calories of the gravies and Biryani's on offer (but why resist temptation, I say?)
As one of the few kebab and biryani joints in the Bandra to Santacruz belt that I won't skewer, it's a great little joint. Ain't exactly fine dining but it's all in the food, ladies and ledas. Enjoy!

Cafe Gulistan is the sister of Cafe Noorani and in no way does it let you down that is of course if you choose to go in for the North India fare. Why anyone would choose to order Chinese from a place called Café Gulistan is beyond me!
The ambience is not much to write home about, then again we are here for the food and you décor related sensibilities can be left outside.
The service is rather efficient especially in the afternoons. The waiters are pleasant and step you to through the menu (dry ya gravy, red gravy spicy, yellow gravy sweet etc…. you get my drift)
The kebabs are extremely succulent, especially the lasuini and reshmi. But the piece de resistance has to be the Reshmi Tikka Briyani. You can ask any true blue Santa Cruz resident about the best Briyani and this one will come up 9 out of 10. Unlike most briyanis this one is much lighter. It isn’t half as oily as its counter parts served elsewhere. Its fragrance and fluffy grains also get thumbs up. However the best part is the reshmi kebabs in a cashew and onion gravy at the bottom of the dish, that truly are the stars. The blend is perfect and oft, you will be struggling for more rice as there appears to be more kebab than rice. Not that a lot of people would complain.
Wind down your meal with the caramel custard or the classic phirni. Strongly recommend the caramel custard, as its consistency and melt in the mouth texture would be the perfect ending.
