Zabardast Indian Kitchen

Friendly staff, tourist focused with good hygiene and western flavours . But if you ask them they will spice things up for a more authentic flavour . Good drink specials and central location .

It is hard to believe that such an excellent culinary organisation was able to escape my "food sense" for such a long time. If it not for Zomato's collections page, I would not have able to sample of the most delicious food to be served in the gallis of Connaught Place. The place is situated in a galli in CP's E block, right between the inner and outer circle boundaries. The road out the place is very maintained and the durbaan is a cheerful guy with a decent moustache(bonus points). As we entered the place, our attention was immediately grabbed by the decor and positioning of the place followed by the proud award plaque that they have put up near the entrance(Sorry I can't remember the prestigious award they earned). The staff was polite, helpful and understanding as they catered to our request of changing our seating location in a professional manner. The new location was quickly cleaned and arranged for us. This was the first time I was not in a animal like hungry phase while visiting a eatery so we started with light starter set comprising of Ram Ladoo(Had heard people complimenting it in various reviews) and Prawn Kurkure(My seafood adventure continues from my trip to the southern half of the country). Ladoos were properly prepared and the garnish of Radish, green leaves and hari(green) chutney on them gave them an authentic taste close to what you get on the Delhi streets. The Prawns were well cooked and their coating was flavourful. The quantity was enough to stuff me full for the entire night. Since the family and me were 90% full from our appetisers, we decided against ordering proper dinner dishes. But, both my father and I had been curiously eying the BREADS section of the menu and decided to eat try the Khameeri Roti and Chilly Paneer Parantha. Now comes the most entertaining part of the night. As we informed the waiter of our order of breads for dinner, he naturally asked us for gravy or daal to accompany it. Naturally we declined since we were full. The poor guy tried again and again, trying to make us understand that the breads would be too dry, how Khameeri Roti is just leavened bread and so on. When we still did not budge from our decision, he left but continued to stare from afar as to how we would finish our meal of just breads with no gravy/flavour to accompany them😂 We ended the night with Kesar Kulfi and Green Mango More mocktail(heavenly). I would really like to come here once again with family and friends to properly experience the dinner/main course part of the restaurant because the limited I did experience the ambience and food, it was mind blowing. My Dad could not stop himself from praising the chef/s. Excellent work Zabardast Kitchen crew.

The long waiting on weekends is a turn off, but calm ambience and good Indian food makes it worth it.

Located in Connaught Place, restaurant can be found reasonably easily. Prompt courteous staff, generous servings of North Indian food. Quality of food very good and authentic in flavor profile. Priced very well, would definitely visit Zabardast Indian Kitchen again!

Yesterday had a lovely party / dinner over here.
