Perfect Charcoal Grilled Kebabs at Shahi Zaika, Mira Road Food Review

Koyle Ka Khazana - Tandoor Mix Platter at Shahi Zaika

SHAHI ZAIKA RESTAURANT FOOD REVIEW

Mughlai and North Indian cuisine is one of the most common and popular cuisines in India, which has even won hearts globally. Personally i am very selective and a huge fan of Indian desi food be it gravies, kebabs, dals, indian tadkas, rotis, naan, sabzi, pickle, papad, chutney, desserts etc... the best part is we don't have any rules when it comes to desi food. Unfortunately today we have tons of restaurants but very few selected places in Mumbai city which serves extremely delicious, succulent, juicy , perfectly marinated and cooked kebabs where the meat is not rubbery or hard but extremely tender and packed with flavors.

Luckily on my recent visit to Mira Road i found a place which serves fresh perfect smokey charcoal grilled hot kebabs in Mumbai city called Shahi Zaika. Usually for kebabs i have always gone to South Mumbai mostly Byculla where you get authentic traditional best flavor kebabs and Mughlai food. Now Shahi Zaika wasn't up to that level but it was definitely a place i would regularly visit with my family. Located in Mira Bhayander Road this restaurant serves Indian, Mughlai and Chinese food. The service was super quick and staff was always around to give best of suggestions and they knew the menu really well to guide you too. The seating is very comfortable, ambiance is not extraordinary but it is decent. Overall it is a family restaurant which is normally crowded.




Now coming to the food this is what i tried:

My Plate with each piece from 5 different flavors of Kebabs

1. Koyle Ka Khazaana - Tandoori Mix Platter Shahi Zaika (21 Pcs)
Rs 880
5*/5

This is by far one of the best kebab platters i have eaten in recent times, honestly i was reaching a point where i was giving up on kebabs because normally the kebabs which are served are not up to the mark. But this platter had chunks of good pieces of meat and amazingly cooked , so tender , so delicious, each one had a unique taste. The taste ranged from subtle sweet and spicy to medium spicy well marinated and charcoal flavor meat. It had 4 pieces each of 5 different variety of kebabs and it was worth the spend if you are in a group - Chicken Malai, Chicken Afghani, Chicken Pahadi, Chicken Seekh, Tandoori Chicken. Highly Recommended!

Chicken Shahi Zaika Special (2 Gravy)

2.  Chicken Shahi Zaika Special (2 Gravy)
Rs 270
4.5*/5

This was recommended by the restaurant and it has 2 gravies served in one dish. The green hyderabadi creamy thick gravy is extremely delicious with lovely garlic flavor and it is medium spicy. The red gravy has a special tadka of red chilli flavor and i found it very spicy. This was also very tasty but i liked the green gravy more. There were enough chicken pieces in the dish and it was good for 2 to 3 people serving.

3. Tandoor Rotis
5*/5
Nice soft tandoor rotis right out of the hot tandoor.

4. Mosambi Juice
Rs 60
2*/5
I was disappointed with the juice here, it was way too sweet and way too cold.

5. Fresh Lime Soda
Rs 55
5*/5
Nice and refreshing

6. Fruit Salad with Ice Cream
Rs 150
5*/5

This presentation was beautiful. It had a lovely fresh fruit mix with a taste which was nutty and ice cream was yummy topped with a cute cherry. Recommended for ice cream lovers.
