This is a great restaurant. The food is extremely good. Mostly North Indian food of high quality and low prices.

Badshah store is named after B. A. Badshah. He operated seven fruit juice shops in Mumbai during the early 1900s. He was a kind man and a wonderful employer. He died at a young age of 38 without any kids. In his will he left each of his seven shops with once of his loyal servants. Badshah at Crawford Market was inherited by Merwan Jehangir Irani - then manager of the place. He has employed a 12 year Iranian immigrant for cleaning help. Mr. Irani was impressed with the boy's ethics. When the boy grew up, he married his daughter Yasmin with the boy and handed the shop over to the couple. Aspi passed away in 1996, and Yasimin ran the should with her daughter Behnaz's husband. They also have opened a shop in Pune.

Favorite Dish: Falooda is Zoroastrian Persia's national drink. Badshah in Crawford Market area is the place for Falooda in Mumbai. About 65% of Badshah's business comes from Faloodas. Falooda is a tall cooling milk-and-rose syrup drink with vermicelli and takmaria seeds (also known as sabjah). It is typically topped with ice-cream.
The mango juice is Rs. 65, same size, and includes the juice of one-and-half mango. Then there is the mango ice-cream (Rs.18), all the ice-creams pista, butter-scotch, chocolate, strawberry are priced at Rs. 18. The mango melba, a speciality of the place, is Rs. 80. In a bowl you get mango slices, two scoops of ice-creams, one mango and one pista, jelly and a biscuit, what are known as the ice-cream biscuits. Fresh stocks of mangoes come from the Vashi market every day.
The mango also forms a theme for the restaurant. At the Badshah Annexe, each table has a small mango tree in its centre. Actually, it is a bracket, cleverly designed, with mango leaves arranged in the brackets and fresh mangoes tied to them. The mango leaves are changed daily. The whole decor is fresh, nothing plastic, and, when you sit at a table, you get the aroma of fresh mangoes dangling in front of your nose. The mini-mango trees are just one of the displays at the Badshah Annexe. There is an entire wall covered with fruits, almost all the fruits in the world, apples, mosambis, chickoos, pomegranates, fringed by pineapples. And they are not just on display, they are used daily and replaced.

The best Indian Food Serves Here.Indian Tandoory items like Mogulai dishesh .
If you have been searching for authentic Punjabi and Mughlai food in Navi Mumbai and are not able to find a place, your wait has come to an end!
Moti Mahal, as this restaurant is called, serves authentic Indian food. And to say the least, as I ate their yesterday, I found it the most delectable Mughlai cuisine (once prepared in the kitchens of the royal Mughal emperors) in town.
Remember to skip your lunch the day you plan to have your dinner at Moti Mahal. Or you might miss out on the wonderful meal that the restaurant serves, including some wonderful options for dessert. Their Gulab Jamuns are simply out of the world delight!

Favorite Dish: Mogulai dish, Tandoori dish¸ Chinese dish, Continental dish, Labinesh dishes....Try best " Paneer Butter Masala."

Ambiance is Bad, locality too. But if you want to taste real Mughlai kind of Biryani it is it. The taste is hot. But it is spicy and Dum Biryani in its original taste as is cooked in Indian local Wedding parities.

Favorite Dish: Mutton Biryani and Fallooda.

One of my familys favorite moghlai joint. If you love Moghlai food, the typical kind with the aroma of ghee and garam masalas, gotta check this place out.
Conveniently located near bandra station, you might actually miss out the entrance to it. When I did discover lucky I was a bit skeptical whether it would be good. But once inside, I felt really good and hungry, what with the aroma of food tingling my senses.
It has a moderate but comfortable decor. This place is not reputed for its ambience but the food makes it a worthwhile and popular joint. The service is quick and prompt. It has a reasonably good menu, that includes almost everything moghlai and punjabi. Great biryani’s, tikkas & tandoori. Reasonable pricing and good for take outs too.
So its worth a try for the delicious moghlai food!

Favorite Dish: No1 For Biryani's And moghllai Dishes ,Tikka's Tandoori

Farhaad specializes in Moghlai and Chinese dishes. It used to be a very small unassuming place with a few tables and chairs. They have recently changed to all take-out/delivery.

They specialize in biryanis (mutton, chicken, veg) but my favorite dishes are (spicy) chicken cultets - which sell out well before dinnertime - and chicken reshmi kababs and butter naan.

They have various Tandoor, Chicken, Mutton, and Veg dishes, all kinds of rice, breads (naan, roti, paratha), and Chinese dishes. They take party orders and offer home delivery.

Daily specials run about $1.50 and a normal meal runs between $1.50 and $2.00 although you can still eat for less!

This unpretentious cafe/restaurant seems to be always busy. It is a Muslim run restaurant and serves very good food at low prices.
I had chicken biriyani, which was excellent.
When I visited, I was the only tourist - it seems very popular with locals.

Favorite Dish: I had very good biriyani

The food is good but the pricing is equivalent to Khyber and Trishna, the higher ended restaurant.

The ambiance is a mix of arabic, punjabi with a pub next door. For few dishes, I noted they charged even more than Khyber, such as Afghan chicken.

It is located in CR2 shopping centre in Nariman point. A meal with drinks costs about Rs.1,000 (Jun 09).
