Banjara Restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences—some truly delightful, others frustrating. Let’s start with the major downside. Despite showing availability on Swiggy Dineout, the restaurant did not accept it, something they only informed us after we were seated and ordered. This caused unnecessary inconvenience and disappointment, especially for those expecting to use their Dineout discounts.
That said, the food did manage to uplift our mood to a certain extent. The Tandoori Chicken (full) was the standout star—perfectly charred, juicy, and packed with flavor. The naan was soft, fluffy, and ideal for scooping up gravies, although the tandoori roti was just average and could have been better. Portions were generous, making it good value for money in terms of quantity.
However, the mutton dish we tried fell short. The meat pieces were tough and not of good quality, which was a letdown, especially considering the pricing. A little more attention to meat cuts and preparation would go a long way.
The ambiance, on the other hand, was lovely. Soft lighting and a calm, soothing environment made the dining experience pleasant. The large TV screen playing the IPL match was the cherry on top—it added a lively, relaxed vibe without being disruptive.
In summary, Banjara Restaurant has great potential with its ambiance and certain dishes, but the lack of transparency with Dineout and inconsistency in food quality prevents it from being a go-to spot. Worth a visit, but with managed expectations.
