There's always something charming about traditional food joints; the people, the decor, service style, and ofcourse the food. On a trip to Nagpur I had the opportunity to try out one such place or as they call it "Bhojnalay".
3 words - Spicy As F**k. But oh so delicious. We devoured some Jhinga, Kaleji, Kheema, Chicken Curry and Mutton Curry at this joint also known as a meat eaters heaven! With food so good and great quantities, we were pleasantly surprised and utterly stuffed, but we just wanted to keep going.. An absolute MUST VISIT in Nagpur!
Food - 5/5
Ambience - 4/5
Service - 4.5/5
Music - None but who cares 😁
Tried it for the first time... I was not disappointed... Great food, hygenic packaging...
The place is typically for spicy saoji cuisine lovers. They have the typical masala that goes with every curry irrespective of whether it's fish or chicken. Tried mutton and fish. They had Karad fish and I do not liked it much . Mutton was nice.

An authentic Saoji Experience!
Much was read about this place before visiting. Most of the hyped placed do not live up to the mark. Gladly 'Saoji Jagdish Bhojanalay' isn't in that category.
The people at the coupon counter (yes you've got to buy a coupon before taking a seat) are willingly helpful. The service staff is courteous & efficient. Cleanliness of the premises was a major factor which enhances the experience of the food.
Now coming to the food itself, as mentioned earlier, you have got to buy coupon before taking a seat, the cost includes one dish (chicken, mutton, vegetarian etc) and the accompanying elements are included (unlimited). The main dish is accompanied by gravy, salad, chapati & rice. You have to specify the level of spiciness one you order my suggestion is to go for medium spicy.
The texture & colour of chicken & mutton is almost identical but the taste of each item is unique. The Keema was seemingly much less spicy than chicken & mutton (or maybe I enhanced my spice tolerance level ;) ).
To conclude, this place should be on your 'to visit' list when you visit Nagpur. And if you're already staying in Nagpur & not visited yet, what are you waiting for??
Wonderful Service with Awesome taste. Love to eat from here always. Specially Try to taste Bheja and kaleji which is best but chicken and mutton curry not awesome. This both items is same recipe with no taste. Anyways Super experience with bheja and kaleji everyone should taste from here
Frankly, you are at quite a loss if you haven't been here already. Reason? Because it is Nagpur! And no Saoji inspite of being on Nagpur is pretty much a cultural shock if you ask me.

A culinary tradition that has evolved in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra is, the very spicy Saoji food. (Originated from Halba Koshti tribe) . This is a must try for every food lover visiting Nagpur. Curries made with paya, chicken and mutton cooked with special spice mixes . I gathered from the joint owner that the recipes are not disclosed to outsiders. He suggested me freshly cooked mutton bheja with fulka .the bheja to be eaten while it is hot , else the taste will be lost .The very hot bheja in spicy gravy actually makes smokes coming out of ears , next was dry mutton .exceptionally well cooked. The distinct tastes of various spices used can be perceived easily . The food is spicy and should be eaten with "matha" , a ghol like preparation . Even the recipe of matha was not disclosed , I felt the taste of cummin and coriander in it . The matha does wonders to the digestive system.
There are numerous Saoji bhojnalayas around Nagpur. Saoji Jagdish Bhojnalaya Gandhibagh or the lesser known Om Shakti Saoji bhojnalaya in Golibar Chowk and pintu Saoji are among the better choices .

Very tasty food,the quantity is also sufficient.Particularly I know this and fond of this place.This place is maintaining good reputation since last 25 years.
Delivery from far but even small order was ok. Ordered Khufu and Roti. Just perfect and great.
I will order more.
Recommend this one.
All the best.
Very famous hotel for Saoji Mutton but quality of Mutton is poor. Mainly Masala used in the Mutton dish us not good quality.
Size of Mutton pieces were good. Chapati little made from maida
This place was recommended to me by one of my friend. I had ordered Veg Patodi with Tandoori Naan.
Be ready to get teary eyed, boy the food was spicy. I was warned by my friend about the spicy food. The patodi was filled with tarri/rassa. Even though being spicy it tasted good. Naan could've been much better it was okaish. You have thaali option too whereas you get free refill of Chapati and White rice. There can be improvement in ambiance to make it look more welcome. Staff was polite enough to help me out with menu and service was good was well.
Yummy food.
I found their thali concept a bit different to that in Mumbai or Pune. Here you get a dish and curry of your choice and unlimited chapati and rice. No solkadhis or pandhra-tambda rassas. Otherwise perfect for an empty stomach craving meat.

So finally after a long time we planned for dine in and succeeded. Jagdish Saoji opportunity Gandhi Sagar ( Shukarawari Talaw) So as usual we jumped in to the restaurant and wait for waiter to take our order after some time we got to know we need to use menu card and like self service had to go to counter and give order at main counter and I asked them we need mutton and kheema and egg curry they won't ask me for roti or rice and directly gave me bill....it was shocking as first time I saw somthing like this in Nagpur. Bill before eating anything in Saoji.... Thats new experience for all of us... after some time they started serving us and so nicely they served us rotis and all the dishes we ordered and we got to know rotis and rice is unlimited...
Now here is my actual review... Taste...really great staff... very polite and friendly... order whatever you want you will get everything delicious and rotis and rice hot and warm as you expect all the time... ambience is beautiful. Hygiene was completely maintained... overall one of the best Saoji Restaurant in Nagpur.
Thanks to Jagdish Saoji Bhojanalay
Only one request it will be great if you serve cold drinks it will be like haven in summer....
Taste is awesome👏 and fresh 🍃💦 meat🥩... Little bit🤏 chicken taste was not as per my expectations... Otherwise nice 👍
Seriously service is good. No need to call waiter..
Overall nice
Good for Saoji style non veg food..
Good Place to taste Saoji dishes. As they ask for upfront payment , there should be a proper way to get payment in advance. Waiters way of asking advance payment sometimes does not feel good. Owner can chalk out some way about it.
Nice clean place to try out the famous Saoji food while in Nagpur. Friendly staff and courteous service. Saoji Food can be very spicy and oily hence the staff asks you for 'medium spicy or spicy'. My recommendation is to go for a medium spicy. Fairly priced. Worth trying!
The place is really nice for authentic Savoji Mutton/Chicken. I tried Savoji Mutton curry & Paya kharode here. The taste was really nice. Though we know Savoji recipes for Spicy taste. Here we get moderate spicy Savoji. They have thali system here. Where you get curry with unlimited chapati, Rice & curry. The thing they should offer is bhakari. Overall good place for Savoji curry.
It's simply awesome experience for Khur curry.
