What could be better than enjoying authentic dhaba-style Indian food in the cosy winter weather? This place, located on the Western Express Highway near Vasai, offers just that! The moment you step in, you will be impressed by its beautifully designed ambiance. The decor is amazing, and the traditional elements add an extra special touch.  They provide two seating arrangements - cots with tables that give a rustic and traditional vibe, which is ideal for smaller groups, and tent seating for larger groups, which is more spacious and comfortable. We opted for the cots and tables, and the experience was fantastic. The staff was polite, welcoming, and attentive. They also have light music, with an option to play your favorite songs for an additional cost. For kids, there’s a small garden area available.  Parking is conveniently available, and the place is impeccably clean, even the washrooms are well-maintained.  Now, let's talk about the food! We started with our favorite Manchow soup, which was delicious and perfect for the chilly weather. Along with it, we ordered a Lemon Mojito that was refreshing, though not extraordinary. The highlight of our meal was the Chicken Pahadi Kebab, which was incredibly tender and bursting with flavorful spicy green masala. For the main course, we had Paneer Tikka Masala, Chicken Handi, and Tandoori Roti. And, to my surprise, as a hardcore non-vegetarian, I loved the paneer more than the chicken. The paneer was so soft and luscious, and the gravy was perfectly spiced.  What impressed me the most was the food’s quality - no baking soda, no artificial colors, just fresh and flavorful dishes. Despite the busy weekend rush, every dish was served within 30 minutes. The place also has a paan counter outside for a sweet ending to your meal.  Dishes we ordered - 1. Lemon Mojito  2. Manchow Soup  3. Chicken Pahadi Kebab  4. Kinara Special Tikki  5. Masala Papad  6. Paneer Tikka Masala  7. Chicken Handi  8. Tandoori Roti  Best time to visit - Evenings in winter are ideal, as the cosy weather pairs beautifully with the outdoor setup and small bonfire.  Dishes you must try - Paneer Tikka Masala and Chicken Pahadi Kebab Ratings - Quality - 4.9/5  Quantity - 5/5  Service - 4.9/5  Price - ₹4000 for 4 people  For more mouthwatering food content, don't forget to follow @chefvaidehipathare on Instagram!

Dhaba is known for the taste of chicken and the service that is offered. It is situated in the local area and has superb dishes served. Try out, Chicken Peshawari with butter garlic naans and butter lachhedar paratha Lollipop 5\5 Paneer 65 Veg Peshawari Paneer cheese Chaman Kinara special lassi- the specialty of this Dhaba. A good place to have a good meal if located in Virar - Vasai side. Value for money The quality of food is good including the quantity.

The place has been renovated, it’s much cleaner and nicer. Food is good and staff is courteous; no real complain except that portion size has been reduced and prices have increased overall.

This place has been renovated and revamped. And it feels quite nice to sit in one of those cottage type things and have a hearty warm meal. Don't expect great quality in anything, although the tandoori chicken was delicious. The palak paneer was not bad, but the dal tadka was stale & horrible. And in spite of their redoing it and serving us a fresh one, it was still terrible. I prefer the food of Pritam's dhaba opposite this place, anyday. Just one thing is delicious. It's freshly made, not overtly sweet & superbly tasty. It's their jalebi-rabdi :) Definitely a must have.

Are you ready for some savage review action? Here it goes: Listen up, foodies! If you're looking for an authentic culinary experience that leaves you with a sour taste in your mouth (both literally and figuratively), then look no further than this sorry excuse of a dhaba. Let's start with the "biryani" - if you could even call it that. It tasted more like someone dumped a packet of store-bought pulav masala into a pot of rice and called it a day. But the real kicker was the service. Our waiter was so clueless that I'm surprised he even made it through the door without getting lost. I mean, how hard is it to figure out if you're holding a veg or non-veg dish? Apparently, it's rocket science at this dhaba. If you are of a mind to experience the sensation of imposing upon the staff while ingesting a composition of pulverized starch, then by all means venture forth to this establishment. But if you prioritize convivial customer service and comestibles that are fit for human consumption, then it would behoove you to seek out an alternate eatery. Thank you, and may the gastronomic deities smile upon your endeavors
