Magadh Restaurant

I had talked about Bhaiyaji who had opened a small North Indian joint called Magadh. I had visited it for the first time last week, one month after it had opened. And I made 2 repeat visits in the following 2 days.

The first day was spent in getting a taste of the thalis. It seemed the cooks were nervous. The food was a bit coldish. The chicken a tard undercooked and did not pass my red marrow test. However the taste was immensely good and that encouraged me to take another foody next day.

Bhaiyaji personally takes feedback about the food and I told him exactly what I wrote here.

Next day we were knocked off our feet. The chicken clear soup was a bit shorbaish but it tasted very good. We ordered Chicken Dehati. It was worth the wait and very different, a little earthy and lived up to its name. The chicken spring roll was muscular and fullsome. Nargisi Kofta was as big as Nargis herself. Very typical of a new restaurant.

The third day we tried the chicken fried rice and I quite liked it. It is not as subtle as a Mainland China's and it is not meant to be. Infact if it was I wouldnt have liked it. It was spicy and excellently damdar. The chilli soya was innovative and I have never found this in any other menu. The chef's recommendation, Chicken Patiyala, was a visual delight. The entire chicken wrapped up like a blanket by a double egg omelet. What more could Mun ask for.

On all three days the parathas were stupendous. Infact its worth a visit just for the parathas. We promised to be back next weekend.

Statutory Warning

Magadh is not for those who
..are not used to eating outside the Ebonys, Samarkands and 6 Ballyguange Places
..cannot differentiate between sambar & rasam or fried rice & pulao
..dont mind a speck of curry leave in their tarka dal
..care more about the ambience than the food
..looking for a consistent of taste
..use their nose to maintain their aristrocracy and not smell food
..are more concerned about what they are wearing when they are eating out

Magadh is actually for those who miss the North Indian Dhaba food in muddled South Indian Bangalore. If you miss your parathas and have been to Calcutta and tasted the litti and sattu you must visit Magadh atleast once.

Important Note:
Magadh is just beside Innovative Multiplex right next to its muddy open air car park. If you still cannot find it call Bhaiyaji at 9980228385. He speaks straight from his heart and serves with his hand.
