North-western cuisine, ambience at this joint It's a restaurant for foodies who are on the lookout for the best experience

Navi Mumbaikars are indeed connoisseurs of good taste, which is evident from the variety of cuisines served in the city. For those food enthusiasts who are on the look out for the best of every world, there's another speciality restaurant that has recently opened in Kharghar.
Named Khanabadosh, the restaurant will enable you to embrace the long forgotten or rather never experienced taste of north-west frontier province. This newly-opened themed restaurant will take you through those special delicacies that were once appreciated by Nawabs and Shahenshahs.
What makes this restaurant stand out from the rest is its authenticity in fragrance and spice, that is typically found in the north west, not just limited to India, but beyond that. Himadri Ghosh, ex-Taj Bengal chef and the owner of Khanabadosh pointed out the unique things that make his restaurant really special. "We follow three main mantras out here; firstly we do not use any artificial colour, secondly no outside (packet) masalas and third, we follow a slow cooking procedure. Something that would sets us a class apart, is our authenticity, since we follow the most traditional and authentic process of cooking north-west cuisine," mentioned Ghosh.
In fact, the restaurant is very competitive in pricing as compared to the restaurants that have been doing well in the city. "It's a challenge to maintain quality and that's our USP. We do things the right way. If we need use tangy, we would ideally use yogurt and not tamarind or tomato, to hasten the cooking; in fact if we say Dum Biryani, we not just serve it but prepare it in an earthen vessel," he added.
The ambiance of the restaurant is also enchanting, since it takes you from the deserts slowly to the snow-clad mountains while you are enjoying your food in a virtual tent. The decor is also very eco-friendly, since the walls have been covered with painted canvas using earthy colours, tent cloth, wooden furniture and jute lamps. Although Khanabadosh seems to be rich speciality restaurant that serves some of the best north-west cuisine, they also have a kid's section on the menu. The restaurant is a little away from the busy streets of the city, but there's an idea that goes behind that thought. "You won't find a tent in the city, you will have to go to the outskirts to get the real authentic and exquisite feel. We did not want to be another restaurant in the corner of the street, but be different; it feels nice when guests come looking for your restaurant. And nothing like having speciality cuisine in a peaceful place than a busy street; it helps you enjoy what you eat rather than look the passersby," said Ghosh.Umesh Pawar
