Baikoz is a quaint little restaurant in the heart of Oshiwara. Placed amongst the hustle bustle of other small restaurants, this stands out for it's mouth watering and lip smacking and delicious home cooked food. There are a few tables here but then in the ages of Swiggy and Zomato and Uber eats, people prefer ordering over coming to dine out. Me n my Sister visited this place on a weekday for dinner after some impromptu shopping. The owner, Mr. Hussain, is a kind hearted soul who will love to give you suggestions according to your tastebuds and liking. We started with some Sol kadi and Buttermilk. Refreshing drinks, one of the best sol kadi in recent times. Chicken Angara : A spicy chicken kebab, cooked in tandoor with red chillies and spices. Absolutely perfectly cooked chicken, the spiciness was there, the coal flavor was there. They nailed this one. Mutton Galouti Kebab : Melt-in-the-mouth, softest, delicious, Galouti Kebabs in recent times. They serve it on a bed of Ulta Tawa Ka Paratha which is one of their specialities. Absolutely loved it. The spiciness was not too heavy, but the flavors were coming through. A small piece of the paratha, some kebab on top and some onion salad completes a bite. Do try it. Bharwan Tandoori Aloo : Potato fan as I am, we had to order this. Potato stuffed with mix veggies and some cheese and then cooked in tandoor. Heaven for vegetarians. Also, the cheese on top completes the dish. Chicken Ra-Ra : For the main course, we could just have one dish and ordered thr Chicken Ra-Ra as its something I had a long time ago and wanted to try it here. It has minced chicken as well as chicken pieces in spicy gravy. I liked it. It was spicy and cheesy too. The chicken was cooked well. We had it with Butter Roomali Roti and loved it. We also had the Taftan there, which is reccomended to have with the Nalli Nihari but we had it with out chicken gravy. Taftan is a thick roti, originating from Persian and Pakistani cuisines, usually had with something thats too liquidy. I loved it. The bread was soft, not chewy at all and went well with the gravy. Murgh Dum Biryani : We were greedy to try the Murgh Dum Biryani though we were more than full. The biryani, cooked in dum, was amazing. The rice was not too dry, chicken was cooked well, didnt feel chewy. The biryani overall had a graviness to it and the raita with it went very well. Malai Phirni : For the dessert, we got the Malai Firni. Just the right amount of sweetness and the perfect ending to our North Indian meal. I reccomend all the dishes that I had here as I myself loved it too much for me to visit this place again n again. The service is very quick, we didn't have to wait long for our order to arrive. Next time, I'm gona indulge in some seafood. Keep up the good work...!!

A small 35-40 seater inside and outside that has recently opened with unique name. They are two friends and their wives all in the event space with experience of running a restaurant in Vashi earlier. The ladies would be running the business and hence the name Baikoz which means wives. We were invited, then loved it so much that repeated it with friends again. Began with Masala chhas and Sikanji - Must try. As starters we decided VEG - Tandoor Bharwan Aloo and Subz Seeekh Kebab - Excellent NON VEG - Galouti Kebab - excellent, Seekh Kebab - Ok but the mutton could be a bit moist and succulent. The rawa coated prawns were lovely with a squeeze of lime. Then came the Mains VEG: Mirchi ka Salan with the nice juicy and spicy mirchi NOT capsicum as I have had the misfortune to taste at some places. Veg Kadhai and aloo jeera. NON VEG: Chicken Sukkhe - nice but have had better, however the masala was quite good, the maharashtrian way. The Haleem was very good, with some fried onions & chillies sprinkled with lime. Kombdi Vade was very good and definitely a repeat. We actually tried Taftan, Khasta Roti, Ulte Tawa ke parathe and found all good, but came back and stuck to Ulte tawa ke parathe. Managed just some steam rice, without having the space for biryani. Keeping it for another time. In the sweet section tried Kesar Firni and Gulab Jamun - both ok. A nice family place to have good lunch or dinner. The portions are quite substantial. Ask for Hussain or Ashish.
