This hidden gem made our valentine's day super-duper delicious on Friday 14th Feb. We were 10 people and reached their for lunch around 12:30, but there was a waiting kind of situation because most of the seats were occupied, and their service is a bit slow too. But the food made us forget the waiting time, it was superrr delicious and made to perfection. We ordered Chicken Shahi and Badami, Mushk kebabs, Darra, and Biryani. Each and every item was so much excellent. Especial mention to Biryani Khas, as this is the real taste and texture of Biryani and that too prepared using Mutton on Bones..... Unforgetable taste and quality... keep this quality consistent!!!!
As someone on Google said, this is absolutely the best place in entire NCR when it comes to Mughlai food. In this era, these guys are serving vintage era recipes. First, the best impression is the wooden furniture and white table covers, then, say the most important point is a very selective menu, just 10-12 items are there. And above all, the taste of the food itself explains its secrets. We booked their hall for 37 foodies on 13th Feb, 2020 to celebrate birthday of my niece. Murgh Shahi and Murgh Badami were on our list in chicken that were outstanding chicken dishes, Ishtu Shirazi and Darra were mutton items that were unique, outstanding, amazing... Biryani Khas, an out of the world mutton biryani... Mushk was there in Kebabs that were mind blowing... Benazeer Paneer and Mushroom Bilpak, and Biryani Sabz were for vegetarians that made vegs super happy... One thing what I noted that not a single guest have any complaint, but each and everyone applauded the quality of the food.
The location that they are operating from (DLF Phase 3, Gurgaon) have zero visibility to new customers though the setup is too peaceful and nice looking.
The best place for authentic chicken and mutton dishes in all of NCR! Unfortunately they are moving in January 2020, which means we may have to drive all the way to Rampur where they will set up their new restaurant in UP 😋 Absolutely love this place.
I absolutely love their food.
Veg: Mushroom bilpak is theeeeee bessttttt dish they have (in all menu). I don't eat mushroom anywhere expect their mushroom bilpak.
Non-veg: Chicken Bedami and Mutton darra are the best. Start with chicken badami and then go for mutton darra.
Their chatapis are the world's best chapatis.
The only complaint I have is with the quantity. The quantity is really very less in that much price.
Plus, the taste of shahi tudka is good. But as things here are not freshly prepared so the bread is not crunchy. It becomes a little soggy.
Please try to improve upon that.
Gr8 food.. the place is modest but the food is totally amazing.. authentic mughlai food and they serve hot phulkas which adds to the taste. Its a must try for non-veg lovers.. only downside is the quantity of food is limited.. still the taste makes up for it
One of the most delicious dine-out of my life, today at Aiwan E Shahi. We were a team of fourteen, two vegetarians, and twelve hardcore non vegetarians. Almost all of my colleagues were first timers to Aiwan E Shahi, except me and a friend. Honestly, I too visited this outlet vey first time. A large table was given, accommodating all of us comfortably. We were there around 2 pm, and were a bit scared seeing the rush. Almost all the tables were occupied except the one reserved for us. Our booking was done two days in advance, and we pre-ordered the items. Because of the rush, our serving started around after half an hour of our arrival. We all were badly hungry, and the flavors of food around were making us uncontrollable. As per the management’s suggestions, to keep the taste buds neutral, we even not asked them for soft drinks.
Our order was Kebab Mushk, Ishtu Shirazi, Qorma Pakhtun, and Biryani Khas, for non vegetarians. For Vegetarians, Benazeer Paneer dish, and Bilpak was ordered.
Kebab Mushk, a kind of galawati (soft) kebabs, was mind blowing, out of the world. Perfectly balanced flavors and spices. Everyone loved it soooo much…
Ishtu Shirazi – a mutton dish, was another out of the world item. This was completely different stew. It is a must try dish..
Qorma Pakhtun – also a mutton dish. Look-wise, it was a simple gravy based item, but once you take its first bite, it will take you to a different world. What a brilliant flavor, we all were stunned with its taste and aroma. The fresh and hot phulkas, arriving one by one, took its taste to the extreme. Very very unique preparation.
Biryani Khas – a mutton biryani, was an specialty in itself. Every here and there, Biryanis are being served with raita, salan, onions, etc. But this Biryani is really Khas, as it does not demand any raita or salan. As per their suggestions, most of us took it with hands, the real way of eating Biryani. It was the most delicious biryani, we have tried yet. Every bite was a rewarding experience.
Both the vegetarians too were so much happy with the food. Their feedback was that they did not had such a tasty paneer and mushroom dishes ever.
We ended our meal with the Shahi Tukda. It was really royal, look wise and taste wise, both. I personally have tried Shahi Tukda at many places, but this was matchless.
Aiwan E Shahi is really a heaven for mughlai foodies. But avoid visiting, if you are on a very tight time schedule. They take time. Service is slow. But that is ok, when the food itself and the way they serve results in a rewarding experience.
Many thanks to all you guys, from all of us!!!
Awsm food tried Qorma pakhtun ,delicious aromatic and properly cooked mutton , good food please maintain the quality will order soon again .
I tried Qorma Pakhtun for the first time from this restaurant. And am so impressed by the taste, the way mutton was cooked. Simply awesome it was. Exact taste of a Mughali food.
I just want to appreciate Aiwan E Shahi for their cooking skills and the final dish that they serve !!
It indeed is the best restaurant in Mughali food and the food is yummy !
A must try restaurant for sure !!
Just loved it :)
This little gem serves authentic awadi food. The taste will just blow you away. Its a very small place but packs a punch. The dishes are very unique as there are not many places that serve good awadi food.
Now coming to the food, chicken badami is their best dish. Even though they say it serves 2, it's so tasty that I end up finishing it alone. Their Biriyani is another notable mention. Its different and yet so good. Mutton korma though isn't that great.
The service here is very slow. But the staff are very courteous and knowledgeable. They even recommend you the correct sequence of having the dishes. Their recommendations are spot on!!
The price is bit on the higher side. Personally, I feel its worth every penny. So if you are in the mood to have soul satisfying food and are ready to splurge, Aiwan E Shahi is the place to be!
We went there on the recommendation of a friend and find it absolute heaven for non veg lover. As we haik from Lucknow, it is very difficult for us to for any restaurant to impress but Aiwan e shahi is just amazing . We loved each and every dish of theirs.
I like the food, it's different from others but little bit spicy. Overall it's good but it's only on delivery option
Nice place... But need little bit of renovation
Delivery was fast and food was hot and fresh.
This is not a dine in, you can order food from here online.
It is good place for non-negotiable foodies
Good option to have dinner in dlf phase 3
Real test of Biryani and kabab
