Review - MAJLIS Restaurant @Kammanahalli Bengaluru

Majlis is a Indo-Arabic restaurant located at Kammanahalli CMR Road, HRBR Layout, Bangalore. The menu looks interesting consisting a mixture of Lebanese and Indian dishes curated by Celebrity Chef Ashfaque Quereshi and Chef Irfan Quereshi. I must consider myself the most luckiest person who actually chatted very causally with the chefs they are here to launch Majlis with co-owner Harish Lakhiani. Harish Lakhiani also owns two other restaurants Mango tree and Mezze located at indiranagar Bengaluru, The causal dine/pocket friendly restaurant is surely going to be the talk of  the town.

We Started our tasting with Mezze Platter which consisted of Turkish Salad, Hummus, Babaganoush, Tabbouleh and Pita bread.

After a wondeful mezze platter we tasted few starters..Dahi Ki Kabab, Rajma Ki Galouti Kabab, Malai Murgh Kabab, Cheese Sambousak.

For mains we tasted Murgh Bemisal (Butter Chicken), Mutton Rogam Josh, Goan Fish Curry, Dal Tadka, Butter Naan, Zar-e-Bariyan Biryani.

For Dessert we had Umm Ali (Phirni).

Overall I liked the food specially the starters it was authentic prepared to perfection. Packed with flavors the quality of food  and service was excellent. I'm planning to visit again and taste more dishes here.

We started with few appetizers/starters...crispy masala sardine fry, herb butter grilled sole fish, and fish salad. Herb butter grill and deep fried sardines were bit bland we loved the crunch and it was perfect for the weather to enjoy this kinda food.

From the salad counter we selected the fish and created our own salad...the sauce served for fish salad was really good the selection included mustard sauce, mint and creamy tomato base sauce all we had to do was create our salad and add the sauce as per our preference. 

After a wonderful salad I chose a noodle and seafood soup this was a clear soup the broth was so soothing and tasty it had tiny pieces of prawns and other butter toasted fish in it the serving size was huge it was a meal on its own. 

For mains we choose butter grilled fish with mash and veggies, fish biryani, fried rice, chilly fish gravy, andhra prawn curry, goan fish curry and rice. I truly enjoyed the goan fish curry with rice and fish biryani it was so tasty I just could not stop with one helping. Fried rice and fish chilly gravy was again a best combo.

Finally we tasted some yummy desserts....a traditional besan ka halwa and icecream...overall worth every penny we thoroughly enjoyed.
