Restaurant Review - Banjara, Kumara Park

Banjara is a fine dining restaurant located inside the Goldfinch Hotel in Kumara Park.
I always like coming to this hotel, feel calmness inside.
The decore is simple and formal, nothing jazzy to grab your attention. Seating is comfortable and well spread out, allowing privacy and keeping down the volume levels.
Service staff are good and know their job well.
The menu revolves around north indian, they also have continental and oriental cuisine, but are best known for their indian.

Now coming to the main topic - the food
We were here on a relaxed sunday afternnon, so started off with a couple of beers and some starters.
We tried the mutton seekh kabab, kurkuri bhindi and mushroom chilly.
The mutton kababs were soft and good enough to be enjoyed, and the crispy 'masaledaar' bhindi was surprisingly good.
Mushroom was not bad either. Everything was a good accompaniment with the chilled beer.

We went on to order the paneer khurchan which was rather ordinary, and the paneer was not soft either. The non veggies had a murgh lahori which was barbecued and part of the nice thick gravy. It went well with the stuffed kulchas as well as the tandoori rotis.

We also tried the palak rice which had maybe equal proportions of palak curry and rice. We had some raita with it, though it was not really required.

The food was good overall. Made me wonder why we don't go here more often.
The pricing is a bit high, but quality justifies it.

Rating - 4/5
