We went for team lunch and opted for buffet. I liked every item apart from mix veg. Kerry ka murabba, mirch ka achar, chatni were simply like homemade. All 3 starters were also very tasty and our most of stomach was filled with starters only. My friend liked paneer mini samosa a lot. They have given different and special taste to baby potatos. Panner was also good. In main course lasooni palak was yumm and paneer veg was also good. I just don't like mix veg there although it's my favorite. Naan, paratha, tandoori roti, Dal and raita were also good. One of friend felt that they could have included Biryani or veg pulav instead of plain rice in menu to pair with raita. I wanted to have something simple so I liked plain rice. Now coming to sweets, there were 2 icecream flavours and doodhi halwa in buffet menu. I didn't try doodhi halwa and chocolate icecream. Some people liked halwa and had 2 bowls full, some didn't like even 1 spoon full. Chocolate icecream was bitter however whoever opted for it, liked it. Now coming to butterscotch icecream... It was toooooooo yummy. We all had 2 and wanted to had more but our stomach didn't allow. For second round butterscotch icecream was short of 2, so they offered strawberry and banana fusion and people who had it, liked it. And it has become fav flavour of one.
Service was good. They served each dish on time. We didn't had to wait for anything. I do not have a single negative point about their service.
Was at Neel - Indigo Deli for dinner with friends. Got to taste some really nice dishes in the Indian cuisine. Especially the Peshawari Rataloo was awesome. Dint imagine sweet potato could be presented as a starter. Overall great food, good ambience and good service too.
Loved it! Great food, quick service and very helpful staff.
Amazing ambience nice hospitality yummlicious food.,. N differently presenting... Good time to spent with family ๏ฟฝ...
Njoyed will surely visit soon ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
Food is awesome.. go for d Neel specialities.. Samosa kadi is a must have.. Malabari panneer
Good food options , great starters and main course . With perfect finish with desserts
Nice hospitality
Superb dining experience ....loved it. ideal place for any occasion
Amazing food, drinks and space! Must visit
Amazing ambience great food highly recommended ๏ฟฝ
I loved it food and cocktails. Grate time at neel
The rice was aromatic, soft, long grains of rice which were not independent- they were sticking to each other. In general it is easy to cook a lot of biryani together but individual portions are difficult. A lot of effort showed in this biryani vs. The effortless yet amazing biryanis of Aafreen , arsalan, idris , shadab etc. We also ordered kokum soda. This was a very nice drink with just the right amount of kokum syrup.
Its superb place nt heavy on pocket and amazing foood wid courteous staff... From yummy starters to main course alll was mouth watering.... Must visit place
Had gone for a private party and had lovely buffet and everything was outstanding. Just loved the ambience and lip smacking food.
This place is again quite posh. Quiet and elegant. Food is decently good. Loved the bar area, lively enough. Good place to chill on weekends.
Good food, Serene atmosphere and extremely wonderful service... We had booked the place for a Pvt party for around 35 ppl.. A separate space was alloted with separate entry... The frequency of starters which was served was lovely with courteous staff very politely offering the same to each and every staff..
Highly recommended..

Came back to eat Neel Mahalaxmi after many years with the family.
The place was classy. The wait staff was very knowledgable about the food (which is rare) - they were able to clarify ingredients in a dish!ย
The vegetarian food was excellent - the cauliflower, the paneer dish were all excellent. The rotis were served in the personal dish, next to the diner - one for each diner. This is truly premium dining.
I look forward to coming back soon.

Food aside the main attraction for me is the jalebi & Rabdi, for years they have made the best most tasty combo and we've usually frequented tote on the turf
for family occasions since the carnivores get their kebabs and the sweet tooths get their jalebi with Rabdi.
Fast forward a few years and you can order from neel's on scootsy, I remember when I use to order this it came in plastic containers the one holding the Rabdi was even double cling wrapped,
All that has changed now and and I have to tip my hat to neel for this endeavour alone!
Forget the fact that the Rabdi and jalabei's are still delicious, but served in aluminium reusable containers for delivery?! This is the new standard being set right here, others in similar price brackets will have to follow suit and it's great ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ I applaud the team at neel's for being the first to take the effort to use sustainable/ reusable containers instead of one time use disposable containers ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
Oh yeah and if you ever have a jalebi craving ๐๐ฝ look no further
Jalebi with Rabdi :
Quality : 4/5
Quantity/portion size : 3.5/5
Value for money : 4/5
Would order again?
Yes
๐Eco friendly rating : 5/5 ๐๐ผ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ I've never done this but I hope to more often! There wasn't a piece of plastic in sight and I'm delighted about it, incase you couldn't tell ๐
Here's hoping all other restaurants follow suit ๐๐ผ
Lovely lazy sunday lunch at tote on the turf.
Excellent food and beverages / Friendly and very attentive staff. Thank you for a awesome Sunday lunch. Lamb is specially very good / kakori kababs are a must try.
Ok gotta admit I love places with candle night dinner so neel took my heart right away with the ambience. Tough would have loved it if the place was a little less noise and dim lit . Coming to the food we called for
1) roomali papad : the service for the roomali roti was quick which is unlikely at other places so enjoyed this thoroughly
2) allepy aloo : perfect blend of the roughly grounded spices and coconut
3) Boti kebab: this was a bit of a let down as the flavours were perfect but the chicken was dry
4 ) katal ki biryani : perfectly cooled biryani; but not the miss the accompaiment of lassoni yogurt and mirchi ka salan ...both were a steal .
Heading back to this place again for sure
Amazing food , amazing service , amazing ambience , amazing restaurant.
Mr Vijay and Mr. Vinod were serving us and they have been giving fantastic suggestions and service.
A totality of a tasty cozy comfort food experience.
Good quality food, though limited menu for vegetarians.
Over all good experience with regards the service and food.
Quiet place away from all the rush and loud music we hear at so many places.
Good place to visit on special occasions.
Came to know about this restaurant from an acquaintance and visited on a holiday evening for dinner with friends and family. The food and ambienc was good but service is what it lacked. Food was served late with wrong item. Order for mocktail was forgotten. It can do much better with good service.

Neel is a beautiful restaurant surrounded by trees and shrubs. They have a beautiful cozy and elegant decor with an interior and exterior seating.
This place is perfect for a date or a quite meal as well.
I recently visited Neel for a Bihari /Magadh Food Pop Up.
It was my first rendezvous with Bihari food and was really looking forward to it.
I'm so glad I could experience it.
The menu offered a welcome drink along with 4 kinds of appetizers and accompaniments.
4 mains and three kinds of bread, litti chokha, rice, three desserts and ending with a paan.
Loved everything. A few dishes were totally outstanding. Yam chutney, a simple parwal Aloo sabji, jackfruit Sabji, green peas bhajiya, litti chokha, parwal ki mithai were my favorite among everything.
The chef did a great job and Authenticook managed it well. The service was excellent.
However a small incident did put me off which wasn't expected to happen here. I take away . 5 for that.
This place is definitely worth a visit.

I had the iftari meal during ramzan.. it was simply amazing..I would definately recommend this place๐๐๐
Located at mahalaxmi racecourse gate no 4_5 is a place worth visiting Neel tote on the turf Indian restaurant.
This place is really sophisticated and beautiful.
Food is amazing base awadhi cuisine.
Well marranation paneer soft
Best compliment
And specially I meat chef sanjay is really good and explain or foods best teamwork
Best service
The best quality north indian food that u want is here. The way of presentation of food is simply awesome and the food is also so delicious that no can have any excuse to say that the food is bad or low quality.
Looking for authentic Indian? Food full of rich and authentic flavours , one of the best Lal maas dishes served ! Additionally a very classy ambience so itโs a place where family , friends or a partner could be entertained. Make sure you hit the sack post the meal!
Situated just before the turf clubhouse and is below the club tote where you can make the most of the night .
I would recommend the Lal mass, malai kebab and the Shahi tukda (dessert)
Delightful summer lunch with Ramadan specials. We really enjoyed Rampuri Sheekh kebab and Murashidabadi murg biryani. Refreshing cocktails made us forget the blistering heat outside. Service was prompt, courteous yet non-intrusive. I had a lot of expectations from Haleem but it didn't live up to it. I would suggest you avoid the tadkewali jhinga as seasoning and the punch of tadka was below optimum. But overall a pleasant meal which is perfect for weekend pampering.
Located at mahalaxmi race course neel torte on the turf is a place worth visiting . The food is amazing .
It serves the best seafood . This place is really sophisticated and beautiful .
Must have items are the mutton kebabs and mushroom spinach starters , in fish go for the tandoori rawas itโs the best. Prawn is also good.
Dal makhni is the best in Bombay.
Go for the spicy chicken gravy.
Rotis all are good.
Deserts have the jalebi Gulab Jamun and superb home made Rabri ice cream itโs the perfect way to end it
Superb food, great service, polite and helpful staff, smart ambience... A lovely experience in all!
lovely kebabs, the lamb was very well cooked, yummy prawns biryani.
Very nice Indian food. And the ambience is just superb. The restaurant is really big. They have a nice bar on top. Even The bar looks really nice. Loved this place.

Cheers!!! to my Team Neel.
I've tried the Seb Shingada Kali Mirch, which is water chestnuts and Granny Smith apples (my fave green and super-crunchy ones) put into a thick pepper infused gravy. This is a mild, almost sweet dish. While I normally like my food spicy, this was a pleasant fusion effort in North Indian cuisine, and I just had to try it. I suggest people do so, for the different tastes it brings to your palate.ย
The Kasundi Aur Hara Mirch Ka Sakharkhand was my outright favourite though, as I love sweet potato as much as green apples. Okay...one is my fave fruit and the other a fave veggie! The sweet potato slices sauteed in kasundi mustard relish and green chilly was delicious beyond words. It does make for a perfect snack too as well as appetiser. The two types of rotis I had (bakhumaas and Malabari paratha) were soft and lived up to the reputation of this place. For a seafood lover like me, the pomfret filets stuffed with shrimps was the highlight of this meal.
Excellent service... delicious food ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
It's always a pleasure to dine in at places where you cannot find fault in anything....a perfect dine in experience
Great ambiance- spacious, quiet (smooth jazz music), soft lighting. Good service- we had at least 2 servers waiting on us at all times. This was for a party of 4 - so really attentive. Excellent food- suggested by our server - starting with the crispy rumali roti while the rest of our appetizers were cooked. We had chicken malai lassoni tikka , goat boti kebab and ajwaini rawas tikka- all seasoned and cooked just right. Entrees were 2 chicken dishes with rumali roti and a surprisingly tasty kolambichi (prawn) khichdi. All in all a very relaxing and delightful experience.
One of the best places for butter chicken in this part of the town. Great service and amazing food. Have visited multiple times with family after a hectic week.
Had been here for a team lunch! Super place! V quiet specially on weekday lunch! Nice cozy place with nice ambience and courteous staff! The service is good! To begin with v orderd romali papad which was nicely and evenly baked! We ordered panner peshawari and nadru ki shami for starter...nadru ki shami was super tasty! Then in main course v had uttari lasooni shag and Rajasthani dum aloo...both tasted good! dessert wasn't that great so I suggest nt to go for it! The restaurant is surely worth visit!
Bohri thali festival at neel was an awesome experience!! Very different cuisine from what I generally savour! What i liked is that it was made exactly how id eat it non spicy!! Generally any indian cuisine outside is too spicy for me!! Good plx good vibe !!
You know you're in a fancy af restaurant that pays attention to detail when half cut lemons are individually wrapped in muslin cloth.
Here's what we ordered:
Neel Ki Pav Bhaji
Flavourful and light.
Kesari Paneer
SO yum!
Dahi Waali Bhindi
Best. Visit Neel just for this dish. You'll thank me.
Kabul Ki Daal
It's funny how most places get their black daal wrong. Neel hits all the right notes with this one.
Banarasi Thandai Ka Rasgulla
Nice. I really hope they expand their dessert section soon though!
Classy ambience. Amazing service. Value for money.
If you want to dig in for proper Indian comfort food - this is where you go.

Visit Day Date and Time:- Sunday 16-July-2017, 1.00 p.m.
"Neel" one of the popular restaurant from Mumbai which is located in premises of one of Mumbai landmark location i.e. Mahalaxmi Race Course is know for serving delicious and flavourful Awadhi cuisine. It is owned and managed by deGustibus Hospitality which also own restaurant like Indigo, Indigo Deli, D:OH! and TOTE etc.
Recently was invited for food tasting and accordingly decided to visit it.
Ambience:- It's overall appearance is quite clam and classy with vintage touch.
We started off with flavourful Shetbar aur Pista Ka Shorba and Rampuri Nalli Shorba which were served with munchies. Taste was amazing which gave the perfect start to the tasting session.
After shorba we tried out few starters from vegetarian and non- vegetarian section namely Basnu Aur Singhada Ka Kabab, Aloo Panch Foran, Rajma ki Golowti, Burrah Kebab, Gilawat Ke Kabab, Murg Malai Kali Mirch Tikka etc. Starters from both sections were blended with spices and aroma giving the perfect taste to tickle the taste buds. Plus the chicken was well cooked and tender.
Further we tried out Jhinga Dum Anari, Rawas Ki Teekhi Tamatar Macchi, Kashmiri Seb Ki Sabzi, Uttari Lahsooni Saag from the main course section with some indian breads. Kashmiri Seb Ki Sabzi was something in which I had more interest as I never had apple as vegetable. As expected it was bit sweet but delicious. From non-vegetarian main course the rawas was cooked to perfect and it went well with roti and naan.
After delicious meal it was time to tickle taste buds with some desserts. So we tried out Kesari Rasmalai, Angoori Rabdi, Malpua and Parde mein Khubani. Out this 4 desserts, Angoori Rabdi was simply awesome that we asked for more
Recommendations:- Jhinga Dum Anari, Rawas Ki Teekhi Tamatar Macchi, Kashmiri Seb Ki Sabzi, Uttari Lahsooni Saag, Rampuri Nalli Shorba, Basnu Aur Singhada Ka Kabab, Aloo Panch Foran, Murg Malai Kali Mirch Tikka, Kesari Rasmalai, Angoori Rabdi
Plus Point:- Parking
Service:- Service level is decent and staff is really helpful and polite.
Overall it's good place to visit for lunch or dinner with family or bunch of friends.

Neel is one of best examples of fine-dining. Serving excellent Indian cuisine, they have made certain additions to the menu specially for the monsoon season. I was there recently to try the Neel Signature Menu.
I had the following from the menu.
Appetisers:
Asparagus ki Galouti- I have had various dishes of asparagus but never expected it to be presented in a galouti form. The dish was innovative
Kakori Kebab- The classic lamb kebab. Liked this one.
Doodhiya Malai Tikka- Creamy, soft chunks of chicken perfect cooked. Must have
For the mains:
Dahiwala Murgh Korma- Chicken cooked in yogurt based gravy. Not a very spicy dish as the flavor of yogurt is very prominent and it had an amazing aroma.
Gosht Kundan Kalia- I expected this one to be better. Being a Kashmiri myself I know how this dish should taste and it lacked something.
For the dessert I had Kalakand & Banarsi Thandai ka Rasgulla and both tasted good.
Neel is a perfect place to have a fine-dine experience and have delicious Indian food.

Real treat if you are true fan of rich north indian food ,this is the place i will recommend.bit pricey but when take the decor n amazing food ,its worth.wish they keep it up.
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Neel is an ultra fine dining restaurant perched upon the sides of the race course. When I say ultra fine dining, I mean two sets of glasses and two sets of forks. It screams of elegance. It's a perfect ode to success in life. Your transcended to an existence where you are penultimate, and when a restaurant is able to do that it is not short of paradise. In short, there's nothing wrong here, so I'm really glad I was invited.
P.S. the lighting was not the best for photos, and the quantities are smaller in them as they're for tasting purposes.
Service: Brilliant stuff. There is a quality which oozes out of the staff, namely professionalism. And it is well balanced by the right amounts of being friendly and assistint us when needed. I have to say, hospitality was surely amazing. I can't seem to recall any complaints. I constantly ask the name of the person taking care of us, but I keep forgetting. Also the chef came out to see if we were satisfied.
Ambience & Dรฉcor: Modern, cosmopolitan, chic, rich and classy appearance all across. A clean white theme cut by a few painting and the race course in the background. You really are a victim of extravagance, and that's a great thing. Be sure to put on your best evening jacket, unless you want to feel left out. It's a rich place for the rich.
Food: Everything was a solid 9.5. We started with a perfect BONE MARROW SOUP. It was light and heavy in its texture and flavour respectively. You could drink it down but its strong bone marrow taste would be lost. It was like having a Nalli Nihari but in a classy manner. Even the pastry given it with was magnificent.
ASPARAGUS KI GALOUTI. I love Mutton Galouti kebabs so I was interested in seeing how they would prepare this classic delicacy with asparagus. My initial opinion was that it was fantastic, the classic hallmarks of a galouti kebab were remaining, although the asparagus did not take away as much as I thought. Infact the Asparagus added a nice touch to it, but there were small pieces of its stalk that were quite annoying. The small roti was great.
KANDAHAR I ALOO. What a master piece. Baby potatoes cooked in a Tandoori style which were scooped out to accommodate some spinach. One of the best dishes we had here. We were glad to find out that it was not stuffed with typical products like cheese or paneer. Definitely recommend this dish especially to vegetarians.
RAJASTHANI SOOLA MURGH. I would describe this dish as a Chicken Kebab cooked in Tandoori Masala. It was soft and tender like a Kebab and had the same spice coating as the tandoori chicken. Really simple and tasty dish, definitely go for it if you are looking for something that isn't very elaborate.
BOHRI BOTI. You could be forgiven for thinking this Mutton looked like Chicken, and how it tore apart. But the colour of the meat and its taste revealed the true identity. The perfectly cooked starter was a delight to have. If you have the slightest of attractions towards mutton then go for this.
Onto Main Course, MURSHIDABADI SOOKHA GOSHT. It's definitely the heaviest dish that we had. The mutton was rich and cooked on the bone. It was loaded with dry spices that give it another elegant appearance and taste. It was too heavy for us to finish but we still enjoyed it. Again it's a dish only for those who enjoy mutton and its subsequent glutton.
GHEEWALA ROAST MURCH. Yet another heavy and wholesome dish having really cooked meat. Rather poultry. The chicken was cooked very well but was a little dry inside. The masala was extremely delicious and worth going back for. A very good dish that testifies that simplicity is key.
MYSORE JHINGA. A delicious and creamy green thick gravy with very well cooked prawns was a surprising dish at this restaurant. It was very tasty and I'm not a big fan of Prawns but I loved it. Great stuff.
KABULI DAL. A somewhat pretentious name for black dal, but that is completely justified because we were blown away by the fabulousness of its taste. One of the best black dals I have had in recent times. I highly recommend this dish. It is a brilliant and definitely finger licking worthy dish.
MALABARI PAROTTA. It was below average and should be left to the Kerala restaurants. It lacked the distinction of several layers and its softness. It was chewy at worst. Not a big fan.
BAKHATKANI. A very simple dish that was well cooked. It looked undercooked but in fact it was soft and perfectly cooked. Extremely tasty and could be had on its own. Never have I ever had an Indian bread like this.
TAFTAN. Pretty average if i have to be honest. It definitely looked very appetizing but its taste is just not up there. I would recommend sticking to there simple variations in Indian breads.
KUTE MIRCH KA PARATHA. It was very similar to a lachha paratha, but was just loaded with some Chili flakes. The paratha was a little undercooked and hence chewy. I did not like this one much as well.
MURGH CALICUT BIRYANI. Just brilliant stuff. It was like a dum biryani but much tastier. The chicken had some gorgeous flavours. The rice was also very well cooked. On its own the Biryani was a piece of art. The condiments given with the Biryani were outstanding and helped in bringing out some latent yet unbelievably delicious flavours. If you are looking for a biryani then this is a great one.
KALAKHAND. Never had it before, didn't know what it was. Didn't like it either. See the photos. If you don't know what this is, stay away. If you do know what it is, ask the waiters, they're knowledgeable.
CORN AND LOTUS SEEDS KHEER. It was very different from the traditional version however this was prepared in a Matka and was fun to eat. Consider the components of this dish prior to ordering it and if you like the components you will like the dish. Simple, fun and delicious.
RASGULLA. This was not a Bengali dessert but in fact it was a North Indian iteration of the same. It had finely chopped dry fruits and instead of sugar syrup it was a milk based syrup. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I highly recommend it, considering the other two were not up to par.
Drinks: 2 Mocktails and 2 Cocktails. The Mocktails first. NEEL PUNCH and LITCHI PASSION. Both were really good, and just look at the chief components and go for what you prefer.
KIWI MARGARITA and ORANGE VODKA(don't know the actual name). Both were pretty damn awesome. My friend was in love with them.
Overall Neel is a brilliant place, if you're worth it. The money is the only drawback. But other than that, there are only minor things they need to work on. I recommend this place.

Awadh once ruled by the moguls, followed by the Nawabs has a distinct character in the food this region serves. Neel โ Tote on the Turf brings the rich flavours of Awadhi cuisine to Mumbaiโs elite. Located at Mahalaxmi race course this luxurious restaurant is set out to woo you with is delectable serves and stellar hospitality.
While we got down from our self driven and walked to the little reception, a warm welcome extending steward escorted us to a still empty restaurant. A glimpse into the Monsoon chapter of the Neelโs signature menu had us hooked from the very first serve.
Below are our recommendations.

Lovely classy ambiance with old world charm and royal dishes from Awadh, Hyderabad and Kashmir on the menu, Neel-Tote on the Turf ticks all the right boxes to become one of the best places to dine at in Mumbai. No wonder it is always mentioned in most must-visit places by celebs.
Had a grand lunch with family, enjoyed their superlative service and every dish had a distinct flavor, none of the usual heavy calorific Punjabi dishes,and loved the generous use of rare ingredients like nadir (lotus stem) and asparagus in many dishes.
Pricing is on the higher side but for this level of food + service + ambiance, very much reasonable.
We tried several items from their signature menu that presents some of their perennial bestsellers over the last decade and everything is so worth it.
Right from warm and creamy Asparagus soup,
To soft and perfectly marinated Angara Paneer Tikka,
From splendidly stuffed Kandahari Aloo to soft like clouds Asparagus Galouti,
From tomato based gravy of Kashmiri Paneer Gustaba Kalia,
To spicy Hyderabadi Paneer and Mirchi ka Tuk
From Nawabi Biryani (this is REAL biryani,same royal feels people!) to bread basket (Khameri Roti my personal favorite here)
And from the utterly refreshing homemade Ginger Fizz To Kalakand, Makhani Kheer and Banarasi Thandai Rasgulla (all desserts must-have here)
We really did not have a single complaint about any dish be it their presentation, their taste, texture, use of spices, everything is perfect and this truly is the best way to spend a lazy meal with family :)

โNEELโ means blue but when you step in here, you wave a goodbye to your blues!
Be it the ambience or the food - the crowd or the service; everything at โNEELโ reflects itโs class.
AMBIENCE :
ย โ just as I mentioned above the ambience is classy & subtle.
It has a vibrant veranda, dinning section, bar, breezy open-air seating & banquet.
I decided to dine at this gorgeous veranda with ultra-fine dรฉcor, where they have these ceiling touching wooden tree like columns.
โNEELโ being this sophisticated & with such a prime location; itโs one of the restaurants with frequent celebrity spotting.
I happened to catch a glimpse of few of my fav celebs the same evening.

STARTERS :
( All the starters were extremely appetizing; itโd be too unfair to list a few of them as MUST HAVES, as all of them deserved a try for itโs distinct taste. But Iโm noting them below in my order of favorites)
> BOHRI BOTI - This starter won my heart on very first bite itself & a must have on their new starters menu. Tender, juicy pieces of chicken tasted marvelous with that smoky taste.
> KAKORI KEBAB โ If youโre a mutton meat lover then you just canโt miss on this, smooth, melting in mouth kinda kebab served along with Ulte Tawe Ka Paratha.

Neel - Tote on the turf. Been hearing this name since half a decade but did not get a chance to be here till very recently to try out their signature menu and celebrate a deliciously rainy saturday afternoon. Situated on ground floor near gate no. 5-6 of Mahalaxmi Racecourse is this formal and quietly elegant spacious dining place with outdoor as well as indoor seating options. The huge arches, decorative ceiling, artwork on the walls as well as old timey lamps throwing shades reminiscent of early 20th century British castles, the ambiance is enough to win over anyone. Impeccable service and Fantastic food just seal the deal :)
It would be tempting to describe the food here as 'north Indian', God knows enough of my friends did *roll eyes* - making me think that some glorious version of Punjabi food was served here. Well, food is glorious but it is a mix of royal Awadhi, Lucknowi, Hyderabadi and Kashmiri cuisines. There is no choley kulcha simmering in the air. There is more than enough authenticity in every dish to make one both aware of the rich royal foodie traditions of India as well as hook them to come back. Excellent use of spices and techniques ranging from broiling to simmering on slow flame for hours done for that perfect flavor. Vegetarians have as much choice as Non-Vegetarians. Splendid!
We tried small portions of a lot of dishes and were floored. Started off with hearty Asparagus soup, lovely, creamy, silky. Complimented with beverages, best of the lot being Kokum Fizz and their specialty Homemade Ginger Lemonade which we had 3 rounds of! A special mention to some accompaniments they serve. The mango-mustard combo as well as fried tomato chutney are mindblowing and mom really loved their in-house pickle too.
Soft, well-marinated spicy Angaara Paneer Tikka started off our starters round, followed by button mushrooms well rubbed with olive paste in Jaituni Kumbh, very meaty in texture and a pleasure to gorge onto.
Absolutely loved Asparagus ki Galouti, THE most perfect veg representation of world famous Lucknowi galouti, served on a little maida bread so that the soft as cloud texture of asparagus could be enjoyed completely and mess-lessly :D The STAR of starters round is Kandahari Aloo, a dish I probably wouldn't dream of ordering on my own (it's just potatoes!) but this has to be THE BEST Aloo based starter we have ever had. Little potatoes stuffed and cooked in tandoor with a sweet-mildly spicy marination of beetroot based paste, out of this world really.
It was equally difficult to choose any main course dish to try, they all looked so tempting and well, everything we tried was perfect once more.
Paneer Gustaba Kalia was my personal favorite with soft paneer kofta cubes in sour-ish tomato gravy Kashmiri style, I can have this everyday even with simple rice,
Dad quite liked Hyderabadi Paneer aur Mirch ka Kut which was mildly spicy and had these flavorful Bhavnagri chillies to munch onto too,
Nadru Shingada Palak brough lotus stems and water chestnuts in earthy spinach flavor to life, the most unique main course vegetable to ever have, a delight with the bread basket on offer!
Along with the regular Rotis and Naans, it is a pleasure to have specialty Indian breads such as Khameri Roti, Taftan and Afghani Magaz Naan (my favorite!) alongside Dal Panchmel (5 different types of lentils cooked together) which is a must-have according to my dad,
Even though we were almost full by now (even on small portions), could not help but try their Nawabi Subz Biryani and absolutely LOVED it, with real biryani flavors, spices mix coming through - no over-garnish of dry fruits, no Kevda essence, no elaichi used, rather a true feeling of having real Biryani, just made better with Raita and Mirchi ka Salan served alongside,
Desserts were another feather in the cap here, with KALAKAND prying its way into our hearts (there are 2 different types here!) followed by rich, not-too-sweet, wholesome Bhutte Mewa aur Makahana ki Kheer (it doesn't get any more royal than this) and our combined favorite of Banarsi Thandai ka Rasgulla. Enough said.
The best of royalty is here at Neel and we will be returning soon to try everything else on the menu too :)

Service- 4.5 out of 5
But I didnโt like the dessert I tried but overall the food taste was awesome and I was totally in love with their biryanis. (They serve 18 varieties of Biryanis!!!!!!!!)
Neel, a part of indigo delicateseen, serves authentic Indian Nawabi style food in the most representable way. At Neel, the specialty Indian restaurant at the ground level of Tote, itโs all about paying homage to the rich and evolved cuisine of old Nawabi style food from Lucknow, Hyderabad, and Kashmir. They present it in a tasteful blend of authentic flavours, textures and colours to create a sensational gustatory experience.
Helmed by Master Chef Mukhtar Qureshi, the food at Neel, while embracing traditional Indian herbs, aromas, flavours and cooking technique, is expressed with a healthy dose of modernity. (Got it from their website)
We visited Neel to give a try to their monsoon menu and it was excellent in all aspects. Ambiance was lovly and well decorated. The ambiance will give u royal feeling of dining.
Coming to food:
Starters:
JAITUNI KHUMB;
Marinated and infused with masalas. So tender in taste, it will literally melt in ur mouth. Brilliant work by chef. Kudos.
ASPARAGUS KI GALOUTI:
Prepared from fresh asparagus. Asparagus is used in many kind of medical treatments. It was supper yummy and relaxing. Must try
RAJASTANI SOOLA MURG:
Marinated tandoor chicken with a ltl bit more spice (Chilli, ginger were dominant). Must try
BOHRI BOTI:
Laal mans boti served in the most authentic way (Indian style). Maans was so well cooked that we couldnโt differentiate it much from chicken delicacies but the elegant taste of maans made us notice it. Love love
SUVA AUR KALIMIRCH KA MACCHLI TIKKA:
Fresh water fish. Yup. I love all delicacies prepared from fresh water fish as I am an odia and we always prepare fresh water fish for our cooking. The chef was really brilliant in preparing such a delicious fish with the right flavours.
BASNU SINGHADA KI SHAMI:
prepared from lotus stems?? I was quite curious to know abt the preparation and taste but it was amazing. A sweet taste mixed with indian spices and herbs. It was delicious. Must try.
laal Maas- Boneless delicious pieces of meat just melted in the mouth.
MURSHIBADI DUM BIRYANI, MURGH CALICUT BIRYANI, NAWABI SUBZ BIRYANI -
mutton dum biryani that comes with juicy muttn pieces with it.
Fresh mint, brown onions and whole spices do the magic.
Fragrant flavourful bliss. The best tasty biryanis served by them (served piping hot.). I found all biryani and pulao served by them excellent. ( specially made curd and mirch sauce was a great compliment for biryanis), but I would say I was totally a fan of their biryanis.
TANGO MANGO, NEEL PUNCH, GINGER FIZZ:
these are the mocktails tried by me. Tango mango was the absolute winner.
DESSERTS:
Kanju anjeer barfi on rajgira chikki:
Didnโt find it pleasing my tastebuds. ๏ other varieties of desserts are recommended.
Chef sanjay sutare personally came and explained all the flavours and the cooking style behind all recipes. Its one of the best places in Mumbai , which serve authentic Indian food. But a must dine in place. MUST. ๏

Fine Dine of the Highest Standards.
Well this place truly justifies the title I shared. Be it the ambience, the service, the food and the place, in all aspects it is truly rich.
I was lucky enough to have been invited to Neel to try its new monsoon menu. From the reception we were nicely escorted to our table. The place has that old world charm. Very formal yet inviting ambience makes one comfortable soon. It has an indoor as as well outdoor seating, we got to sit indoors.
For food we ordered quite a lot of things. To start with we ordered Asparagus and Pista ka Shorba along with a platter consisting of Malabari Chilli Kaya, Kandahari Aloo and Angara Paneer Tikka. The Asparagus and Pista ka Shorba was served in a tea cup. The soup was good, flavorful and served hot. The starter platter was presented beautifully. The Angara Paneer Tikka was soft, spicy and charcoaled to perfection. The Kandahari Aloo had stuffing inside the potatoes and was going along well with the chutneys served along with the platter. The Malabari Chilli Kaya was the best amongst the lot. French fries like long skewers rightly tossed with chillies, garlic and other spicies. The Chilli Kaya in the platter was my personal favorite amongst all.
For main course we ordered Hyderabadi Paneer and Mirch ka kut, Paneer Gustaba Kalia, Taazi Bhuni Sabji,
Kabul ki daal along with assorted breads. All the vegetables were equally good but the Kabul ki daal their name for Dal Makhani was the best. Well this dish cannot go wrong for me. Nicely cooked, rich, catchy and really tasty.
We also ordered it's Veg Dum Biryani with Burhani Raita. The Dum Biryani again was very flavorful, had all the spices required. The raita was simply fabulous. With burnt garlic infused in it, I could have the raita all day.
For deserts we called for Thandai Rasgulla and Kalakand. The Thandai rasgulla is innovation at it's best, the thandai flavor definitely adds richness to the sweet. The Kalakand had the right amount of sweetness and dry fruits to it.
Also for mocktails we ordered Spicy Guava and Masala Fresh Lime Soda. Both the mocktails were good and refreshing.
The service at the place is again of the highest standards. Suggestions were given appropriately when needed. Also the serving time is good.
Well as I said earlier the place is rich, food flavorful and the service of the highest standards. Be here at Neel before they take off their special monsoon menu.
It had been a long awaited dinning event I had been waiting for, so I was lucky to be there on a Monday with my friends . The food was good and so was the service.

NEEL means BLUE and I must say this place will take away all your Blues whether its weekdays or weekends.
Visited this place for the first time with one of my foodie friend and we really had a splendid evening with lots of good food and great talks.
Ambiance:- The place is located at the popular Mahalakshmi Racecourse on the ground level of Tote, Specialty Dining place serving Indian cuisines especially Lucknowi, Hyderabadi and Kashmiri tasteful rich dishes. Spacious dining restaurant with brilliant and lavish decor with well trained, humble and kind staff.ย
Let's talk about FOOD:- So we started with Subz Santra Shorba - A hot flavorful soup with tangy taste was served in small portion.
Chef Sanjay Sutare personally told us about the new monsoon menu and suggested to try the variety of delectable dishes prepared by him.
Veg. Starters :- We had Angara Paneer Tikka, Kandahari Aloo, Asparagus Ki Galouti and Malabari Chilli Kaya.
Non Veg Starters :- Rajasthani Soola Murg and Doodhiya Malai Tikka.
Mocktails - Neel Punch, Litchi Passion, Ginger Lemon Ice Tea.
Upon our request, all the dishes was served in smaller portion with amazing presentation giving a healthy dose of taste.
Main Course:- Taazi Bhuni Sabzi - Dry gravy prepared by mixing fresh vegetables perfect for all veggie loversย
Paneer Gustaba kalia - A unique dish where two paneer koftas was served in red gravy, sweet in taste but loved it.
Kabul Ki Dal - I had the whole bowl of this, truly a winner of all, MUST TRY with Awadhi Magaz Naan nad hot Malabari Parathas.

What stands out -
My wife and I decided to try this amazing restaurant on Saturday night. This restaurant is located inside race course and has a lot of space. The tables are royal and very well spaced out, giving a lot of privacy. There are two sections and both are well decorated. Ambiance here is outstanding. We came to check out their new monsoon menu. The service here is amazing. We were greeted by head chef Sanjay Sature and he offered us to give smaller portions so that we could try more variety.
We ordered the following for soups and appetizers.
1. Sabz Santre ka shorba
2. Kandahari Aloo
3. Angara Paneer Tikka
4. Malbari Chilli Kaya
The shorba or soup was outstanding to say the least. It was surved in a cup and saucer with two indian shakarpara served with it. The soup was tangy. It was a bit different but brilliant. Kandahari Aloo was chef recommended and tastes good. It's baby potatoes deep fried with skin and added masalas. Angara Paneer Tikka is also great. The paneer is super soft and it's so well cooked and tastes perfect. Malabri Chilli Kaya is an interesting Kerela dish. Kaya is fries but of raw banana. It is made with garlic and other spices. I loved the dish and I strongly recommend for some unique experience.
For main course we ordered the following.
1. Paneer Gustabce Kalia
2. Nadru Shingada Palak
3. Dal panchmel
4. Kabul ki daal (dal makhni)
5. Tandoori butter roti
The paneer is very well made and has a great tangy curry. The panee made as koftas are quite soft and very well cooked. The filling is very tasty gravy however was tad too liquid but no complaints as such. We also tried Nadru Shingada Palak sabzi. This was a bit of a disappointment. I generally love palak but this one was too dry with almost no gravy. It's a little different than what I was expecting and there is nothing wrong with the dish but I didn't particularly like it much. Dal panchmel is a mix of 5 dals. This yellow dal tastes great but Kabul ki dal was just was too good. This is my favourite dish and if nothing I will definitely come to eat just dal and roti again. This is the most creamy black dal I have had and I strongly recommend you order this.
We ordered the following for drinks and desserts.
1. Neel - Mary
2. Lemon Ice tea
3. Ruby
4. Kalakand
5. Bhutta Mewa and Makhan ki kheer
6. Banarasi thandai ke rasgulle.
Neel - Mary is a brilliantly made bloody Mary. Ruby is another alcoholic beverage we ordered. It is a mix of pomegranate and cranberry and has pomegranate inside too. It's a decent refreshing beverage. Lemon Ice tea here is super tasty. This is the strongest ice tea I have ever had. The flavour is very strong so don't order if you aren't a big tea fan but I just loved it here. Kalakand is a dry indian sweet with a lot of ghee. It wasn't as soft as other places but tasted just as good. The kheer is served in a matka and is very thick. Loved the preparation but the highlight has to be the rasgullas. Made from thandai it has a combination of thandai and rasgulla flavour. It's a great unique dish.
All in all this is a place I strongly recommend. It's ideal for family or date scene and the service will leave you awestruck.

Neel, the specialty Indian restaurant at the ground level of Tote, is all about paying homage to the rich and evolved cuisine of old Nawabi families thus presenting a tasteful blend of authentic flavours, textures and colours to create a sensational gustatory experience.ย
It is stretched across a wide space at the race-course with outdoor and indoor seating. The interiors are washed white adding to its elegance and beauty it holds.
Helmed by Master Chef Mukhtar Qureshi, the food at Neel, while embracing traditional flavours and cooking technique, is expressed with a healthy dose of modernity.ย It is fresh, clean and prepared with great care. Herbs and spices are carefully used to enhance the natural flavours of the food - not overpower them. The cuisine takes a modern approach to classic flavour combinations, creating a sophisticated menu.
What we were served: Asparagus ki Galouti, Malabari Chili Kaya, Mushroom Water Chest Nut Kebab, Nadru Shingada Palak, Awadhi Magaz Naan, Kute Mirch ka Parantha, Ukadiche Modak, Bhutta Mewa aur Makhana ki kheer, Banarasi Thandai ka Rasgulla
Asparagus ki Galouti: We are sure you must have heard about the famous Galouti kebab of Lucknow. 'Galouti' or 'Galawati' means melt in the mouth. And definitely these kebabs will melt in your mouth once you have a bite of it.ย We never did realise Asparagus could fuse so well with Indian spices to transform into a delectable dish.
Malabari Chili Kaya: Quick fried slivers of raw plantain wok tossed with Kerala spices. This fusion of South India and Chinese is a masterpiece in itself. Crisp texture with spicy taste!
Mushroom Water Chest Nut Kebab: This easy marinated mushroom and chest nut kebab is as soft as Galouti and as crunchy as Malabari Wok. The filling has its perfect raw crunch when the kebabs are delicately prepared to feel as soft as cotton in oneโs mouth. Brilliance!
Nadru Shingada Palak, Awadhi Magaz Naan & Kute Mirch ka Parantha: Their Indian breads have a special twist to it and we liked the innovation done! Nadru Shingada Palak is dry in consistency with lotus stem, water chest nut and spinach as ingredients. The portion is less content, even though it forms a great meal
Ukadiche Modak: No. Itโs definitely not what you think it is! A regional specialty prepared with an innovative edge. Raw banana covering scooped out and filled in with Modak fillings is highly innovative and impressive.
Bhutta Mewa aur Makhana ki Kheer: This traditional Indian dessert is not so traditional with its content. Golden corn kernels and lotus seeds in a rich milk pudding make its way to your table in a Kulhad. We wished it was less solid and more like a pudding.
Banarasi Thandai Ka Rasgulla: Juicy Rasgulla served in a sea of Thandai is basically a modern touch to our age-old Ras Malai. Perhaps, it the best signature dessert at Neel.
Constructive Suggestions:
1.ย We are in awe with the quality. Go a little more on the quantity
2.ย Sometimes itโs better to stick to the traditional taste. Try to make the desserts a little more desi keeping the innovation intact too
All in all, Neel is a vintage classy place for a perfect family meal or a royal date with your loved ones.

Neel, is one of my favourite restaurants in Mumbai. ...I love the food, ambience and the service.
The food is Awadhi - a refined North Indian cuisine of the Lucknowi Nawabs...
Absolutely delicious, well spiced kebabs like the gilawat, kakori and seekh that simply melt in the mouth as well inventive vegetarian kebabs such as basnu aur singhada kebab and the nadru shami...
I love the white and spacious dining room. ....tables are spaced well apart so that there is enough room to sit comfortably and you dont feel cramped.
Service is quick, friendly and extremely professional. I've been here dozens of times and have never had a bad meal or a messed up order.
The focus here is on nuanced flavours and drwsh ingredients......no, greasy, heavy Punju food here. Do try the taazi bhuni sabzi and the khade masale ka paneer for your main course and you will understand my point.
Definitely save room for dessert here, whether its the rich malpua or the unusual rabdi ice cream.

- ANGOORI RABDI
All the three desserts were fresh and delicious, I specially liked rabdi the most !
Overall, It was a scrumptious meal !
Each and every dish had a bold flavour profile but none of them felt too spicy or greasy.
Quality whole Indian spices were used in the making, they gave a beautiful flavour and "aroma" to the dishes.
The chef at Neel (who has learned cooking under Padma Shri Imtiaz Qureshi, the maestro of awadhi cuisine) has done a exceptional job, I was amazed to savour his vegetarian versions of traditional awadhi classics.
There are very few places in Mumbai where I like Indian food, Neel is one of them !
Go try indulge !

Went bit too strong for me
โข Peshawari Paneer Tikka
Paneer used is so soft that it melts in your mouth, it was super delicious.
๐ธMains
โข Uttari Lahsooni Sag with Aawadhi Magaz Naan
Mixed green leafy veggies, flavoured with garlic and chilli went very well with crispy butter magaz Naan.
โข Taazi Bhuni Sabzi with Bakhumaas Roti
Stir fried mix vegetable and the bakhumaas roti is the best combination.
โข Khade Masala Ka Paneer with Ulte Tawa ka Paratha and Lachha Paratha.
This meal would have been incomplete without a paneer Sabji, this one was dry paneer masala sabji, it was nice but I had too many dry sabjis by that time, so I wish I had tried some paneer in gravy.
Both Parathas were good.
Infact all the rotis were made perfect.
The only Sabji I didn't like was Kashmiri Seb ki Sabji, apple curry.
This one is not meant for me, too bland and sweet.
This place is visited alot by all foreigners and they love this curry, and hence its one of the most popular sabji at Neel.
โข Tarkari Dum Biryani
Long grain rice sealed with roti dough to allow all the spices to adjust and smoky flavor to get absorbed in the biryani.
๐ธ Desserts
โข Parde Me Khubani (Baked Apricot Halwa)
Sinfully Delicious โค
โข Neel Rabdi Ice cream
Fresh and delicious โค
๐ธ Mocktailsย
I tried like 3 4 Mocktails - Gauva, Peach, watermelon and the best one was Kokum.
Please mention them if you want your mocktails to be very chilled.
Overall my experience with them was good.
Few authentic dishes didn't suit me, few went bland for me, so my rating for food stay 4 but taking all points in consideration like ambiance, service and all I rate this place 4.5
I loved that it's one of the very few places who stick to the traditional flavours and cooking, this place purely serves Lucknowi, Aawadhi khaana, no fusion at all.

One of the restaurant in my Go to list for long, we decided to visit this place yesterday for celebrating my parents anniversary. I made the reservation through Zomato, the place has an old gymkhana feel to it, very cozy for a Sunday lunch. The place was busy and noisy inside where they have the bar, as they were hosting couple of big family tables around. We wanted to seat outside and though there was a table available it took us 10 minutes to convince the staff if we could have that, finally they agreed Thank you ! we were told the table which we wanted was reserved for another party of 6 but until we finished our lunch we didnโt see any 6 pax table coming in !ย
Once we settled down in our preferred table, it all was good. They have a limited menu to choose from but the quality is very good, we order Pakhtooni Peshawari Boti, Bazari Murgh Tikka & Kairi Pudina Mahi Tikka, they were amazingly moist & flavorful. Specially the Mahi Tikka is a must try! Portion size is just perfect.
For the main course, we ordered a Murg Baradari Korma & Adraki Bhuna gosht, even both this dishes were very well prepared. Roti, Naan, Kulcha all are fresh and hot when served. We also ordered the Hyderabadi Murgh Biryani which was good as well.
Overall Service is very attentive, food is good and the ambiance is nice. Lot of kids running around our table while we were having lunch, not sure I would recommend this place for an intimate dinners as long as you donโt mind kids running around.
ย
It deserves ย a 5/5 but the table issue in the beginning & the noisy ย kids around took that one point off.ย
Overall
Service: 4/5
Food Quality 4/5
Ambiance: 3/5
Value for Money: 4/5

Love was in the air on 14th February at the Neel. A special Valentines Day curated menu was what I was there for. Service with a smile and the perks of fine dining was in store.
The restaurant ambience was beautiful that evening, was all set for a fabulous evening with a Sparkling fratelli wine bottle.
The Menu
Amuse Bouche - Papri Chaat this was one thing that I can never get enough off. The Chaat was just irresistable.
The veg and non veg starters were cooked to perfection and went very well with wine
Laal Maas- Boneless delicious pieces of meat just melted in the mouth.
Sorbet - The sorbet served that evening was OK OK types.
Biryani - Excellent and served piping hot.
But like the saying goes "Save the best for last"
The dessert platter was to die for. Pista Juli, Gulab Jamie, angoori rabdi and malai barfi. A super treat for all with a sweet tooth.
A beautiful Valentine's Day as Neel. Will not forget this ever. Thank you.

Some of the best Indian food you will ever get to eat.
Must haves are their version of galouti kebab, the baida roti (which seemed unusual to order but was recommended by the steward) and the biggest shocker was their version of the chicken tikka which was outstanding.
Our main courses were also excellent. The jinga badam and anar curry was lovely.
Mutton biryani was lightly flavoured but excellent. Little heavy on ghee.
Desserts were also good.... but no comparison to the food.
All in all a superb meal.
The food and service is super good. Really good ambience. I liked the Chicken Biryani with Parda and Hyderabadi Jhinga. Also liked the Virgin Guava Mary in mocktails.
The Ambience of the place is outstanding. One of the places where you dont feel heavy after indian food with your taste buds satiated. The mains are good in quantity, so dont over order.
So finally after two months of trying to get a reservation I got a table yesterday here!
In very few lines I'll sum up the experience..
I really had high expectations and trust me this place overwhelmed me with their hospitality,ambience and most important of the all the food!
Right from the starters to main course to deserts,they didn't gave a chance of saying anything!
Just select what you wanna have like chicken ,fish or seafood and ask for the suggestions from the staff N trust me they will not let you down! Would like to have more experiences soon!

So, we were always wanting to go to Neel since we had heard a lot about it from friends. Finally, an amazing offer came our way from insider.in in form of Small Plates Week. So, we landed up at Neel at about 1 PM for lunch and boy the place is beautiful and surrounded by greenery. We sat in the outside section which meant natural light which was wonderful. So, our set course menu had small portions of about 4 veg and 4 non-veg appetisers along with about 5 veg and 5 non-veg mains along with biryani and breads. We also had about 4 desserts which were malpua, an ice cream, rasmalai and gulab jamun. All were decadent. We especially loved the orange shorba and chicken shorba, both tasted heavenly. Our starters which included rawas tikka, chicken tikka, lamb seekh and prawns were all to die for. We absolutely loved the dal makhni, chicken do pyaza, paneer and prawns main course. All in all a definite must go and value for money offer which we grabbed!! Staff was hospitable and really helpful and supportive!!

Neel has a special atmosphere to begin with because it is located in the confines of the race course its quiet infact you could easily mistaken the experience of eating here for having dinner at a nice modern bungalow or house outside Mumbai. The decor is eccelectic modern with lovely terrazzo floors and adventurous roof!
The service is also great and you won't stop admiring the food long after you have eaten here. I suggest choosing off the beaten track which I did entertaining a group of nine people here for dinner. For appetizers we tried the beetroot and rajma kebab. Amazing! Followed by the paneer kebab which really was dominated by the taste of the rich paneer. For the non veg we had the chicken green masala kebab and a mutton seekh. The names in the menu were different and so were the actual dishes quite different from convention. In the mains I liked the khade masale ka kheema...the largest kheema chunks you'll find anywhere. The vegetable main was also great though I cannot remember the name.
Overall I highly recommend neel as it's a very unconventional Indian restaurant. It also offers peace and quiet which is not afforded by any of its competitors. For a large party one can budget about 1500 per person with drinks and no desserts.
Amazing experience it was to relish delicious food at Tote. We ordered murg ka panja which has 4 pieces of chicken leg and it has typical dhaba taste, great for starters. In main course we ordered lagaan ki nihari, it is a mutton curry with 6 pieces which is served with 2 small size naan.
Ambience is awesome, it is quite and spacious and very classy. You feel special once u enter the restaurant because that is the kind of service the staff provides.
This is one place where you should go till the time you finish tasting everything on the menu. The fish was well cooked served with the right amount of corainder mint sauce. Murg e khaas was also as khaas as the name. To lap up we had hot jalebi with rabdi which was an absolutely a sight and adish which you couldn't have said no to!
The portions are huge and the different breads are just something u should try.
The ambience is like any lifestyle club restaurant but the food beats any Michelin star when it comes to taste. I am going there as many times i can to taste all the murghs and the machli.

Never new there exist this place.. very quite yet very classy.. service is extremely nice.... u will feel at most comfortable.. they suggested some paneer main course which was really filling and perfectly cooked.. tender paneer.. I still can't forget the taste even after few months.. ๐๐๐ little heavy on ur pocket.. but der are always some special occasions for special places..
The restaurant is located at one of the prime places of Mumbai. The ambience was very comforting and the food was excellent. The service was very courteous and disciplined. Overall it was a "must go again" experience.

Classy and quiet. Serene and spacious. Neel is the perfect place for lazy lunches and long dinners. We were celebrating a friend's recent engagement here and it turned out to be a nice get together. The place has a nice feel, is well appointed and beautifully located at the Race Course.ย
We got us a large table near the bar and the sessions started. After a round of drinks both (alcoholic and mock) we went with most of the maitre d's suggestions for starters - tandoori aloo (quite lachile!) and rajma tikki (delicious) for the veg and kakori, gilawati (melt in ur mouth) and peshawari for the non-veg - all very well done. For the mains we ordered bhuni subzi, bhindi in yogurt, a lamb gravy, tandoori chicken gravy, some rawas and kabul ki dal to go with the fresh hot roties and lachcha parathas. We also did justice to the kesar rasmalai although we were bursting from the sides!ย
No matter what you eat at Neel, the ambaince makes it all the more better. So the next time you got lots of time on your hands (and not to forget money!) make for Neel.

Decided to have a family lunch here so did a table reservation, day in advance through the app. The table reservation process was seamless.
Reached a little early as less traffic being a Saturday. I suppose reaching early is not a problem for most of the restaurants so was showed in to our table by well attended staff.
Now this place is huge in seating capacity and has that old world charm to it. More on the lines of British era gymkhana feel. Of course this diner is on the premises of the Race course so that says it all. The ambience is simple with well laid out tables , ample space between tables. I like that as gives a fine dining experience.
We started with the drinks and starters. The Lychee punch was good with a tangy taste. Also I liked the Basnu Singhada Kabab - the name is deceptive but these are lamb kababs which ย one should try. Soft and tender with the right amount of spice.
Followed up with the main course which was a paneer dish and a chicken gravy dish with rotis and parathas. Good food served hot and fine on the taste palette.
Topped it off with a Ilaichi Jamun which was hot and very tasty.ย
All in all a good dining experience , attentive staff and good ambience.
There is ample parking so that is not a worry. Probably on a Sat or Sunday evening could be a challenge.
Would reccomend this place if you are looking for a quiet lunch or dinner with family & friends.

Went there for the Sunday Brunch yesterday....and I have to say it was a fantastic experience. The service is amazing and they treat every customer like royalty. Everything is there on the table without you having to ask for it. Coming to the food, it was pretty amazing as well. Right from the Broccoli soup to the huge variety of starters. The Yellow dal was to die for. It was all topped with a selection of 3 quintessential North Indian desserts. And all this at a decent enough price (compared to other five star brunches)
Moms birthday and neel-tote on the turf was a perfect pick. A fine dining restaurant serving one of the best indian meal and beautiful ambience. Food quality and service is upto the mark. They are so very humble and attentive.
Galouti kebabs are amazing, they melt in your mouth and the blend...
We had dinner on Wednesday 4/8. We ordered a Rawas curry dish but were surprised that it did not taste as Rawas. On checking with Waiter he stated that it was Rawas. On checking with the Steward he too insisted that it is Rawas. The Steward was asked to go and check with the cook. He sheepishly returned to inform us that it was BASA. While we enjoyed the Starters this was a dampener. I for one detest a pass over.
Neel-Tote On The Turf brings to all food lovers, a leisurely Sunday brunch...where one can feast like a Nawab with an all you can eat experience. The multi-course special brunch,takes you through a course-wise a la carte menu with plenty of options for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.ย
Indulge with your friends and family by savouring dishes such as Murg Malai Kali Mirch Kebab, Baghdadi Seekh Kebab, Murg Dhanewal Shorba and several succulent and lip-smacking fish, lamb and chicken curries. The food is prepared with great care embracing traditional flavors and is expressed with a healthy dose of modernity.
For those who have a sweet-tooth can feast on unlimited repeats of hot & fresh malpuas, to malai kulfi and absolutely delicious and rich bowls of rabdi.
Neel is a meat heaven. Don't go and eat anything else but mutton in this place.
Burrah Kebabs are lip smacking good. Galouti kebab is soft and melts in your mouth. Nihari in mains is just heaven on earth. Don't miss the Jalebi in the end, it is hot and crisp.
Sangria and whisky sour are nice to order till your food arrives on the table.

The Nalli Shorba is lovely! The lamb shanks stole the show and so did the melt-in-mouth galouti kebabs
food was overall excellent in taste. the paneer tikka with dil was excellent. the vegetarian main course was also great . the gravy was thin - making it less heavy. the rabdi icecream was unique and excellent. Overall good experience. The service was also great, with the manager coming to the table and asking on couple of ocassions if everything was ok. One suggestion, please do update new menu with the right prices on zomato. the menu currently on zomato seems to be the old one
Amazing place and what do I say about the food - everything in here is just perfect. Love the ambience and the hospitality.Highly recommended
One of my favourite places.
The food is so appetising , delicious; that one can't help but visit again and again.
The chicken soup , the fish and chicken starters , the main course- dum biryani , the dessert- dark chocolate, everything is just amazing !!
Ambience is classy. The supports on which...
The food is absolutely delightful. Well done and tastefully so. However, it is heavy - so order carefully. The cocktails and selection of single malts are great. Ambiance is lovely and would be even better in winter - the outside dining area makes for a great evening.

Beautiful place to conduct small events.
Recently attended the Benetton Perfume event and was amazed with this place as it gives you so much of open place along with the indoor sitting
Overall itโs a decent place
Neel has become another restaurant on our list where the food quality remains consistently good over time. Its not as noisy as other restaurants and a great place for a friends / family dinner where you want to talk to one another (without shouting) and enjoy your food. Dal Makhani is just excellent.
Good food, Serene atmosphere and extremely wonderful service... We had booked the place for a Pvt party for around 35 ppl.. A separate space was alloted with separate entry... The frequency of starters which was served was lovely with courteous staff very politely offering the same to each and every staff..
Highly recommended..
Really awesome memories of the yummy food served here. Best Multicuisine, Mughlai, Indian, Hyderabadi, Kashmiri, Awadhi, Lucknowi, Kebab, and North Indian. Polite Staff, Live Dj, Ambience very beautifully, Elegant Dรฉcor, Classy Interiors, Peaceful Atmosphere.
The great place for party ๐๐. The food is awesome and staff is very polite. Best place for small meeting and function. Must visit.
I was there for a Navjyot - the decor was magical and enchanting as was the cuisine
This hotel is amazing for its beautiful decoration and large spacious dinning. The food quality is awesome and the support staffs are well behaved. Moreover you can have a variety of foods here
The place is good with full of positive vibes and great energy. Staffs are polite and attending. The food tastes good- simple, authentic and flavourful. The ambience is vibrant. We spent a great time with our family and will love to visit the place again.
