The menu of Afghan and Mongolian cuisines provide flavorsome dishes at Aiwan E Shahi. The truth is that you will really like nicely cooked biryani, chicken and kebabs. This place offers food delivery for the convenience of its customers. Most people mark that the staff is energetic at this spot. Cool service is something visitors agree upon here. Prices at Aiwan E Shahi deserve attention as they're good. When inside, the ambiance is charming.
The location that they are operating from (DLF Phase 3, Gurgaon) have zero visibility to new customers though the setup is too peaceful and nice looking.
Our order was Kebab Mushk, Ishtu Shirazi, Qorma Pakhtun, and Biryani Khas, for non vegetarians. For Vegetarians, Benazeer Paneer dish, and Bilpak was ordered.
Kebab Mushk, a kind of galawati (soft) kebabs, was mind blowing, out of the world. Perfectly balanced flavors and spices. Everyone loved it soooo much…
Ishtu Shirazi – a mutton dish, was another out of the world item. This was completely different stew. It is a must try dish..
Qorma Pakhtun – also a mutton dish. Look-wise, it was a simple gravy based item, but once you take its first bite, it will take you to a different world. What a brilliant flavor, we all were stunned with its taste and aroma. The fresh and hot phulkas, arriving one by one, took its taste to the extreme. Very very unique preparation.
Biryani Khas – a mutton biryani, was an specialty in itself. Every here and there, Biryanis are being served with raita, salan, onions, etc. But this Biryani is really Khas, as it does not demand any raita or salan. As per their suggestions, most of us took it with hands, the real way of eating Biryani. It was the most delicious biryani, we have tried yet. Every bite was a rewarding experience.
Both the vegetarians too were so much happy with the food. Their feedback was that they did not had such a tasty paneer and mushroom dishes ever.
We ended our meal with the Shahi Tukda. It was really royal, look wise and taste wise, both. I personally have tried Shahi Tukda at many places, but this was matchless.
Aiwan E Shahi is really a heaven for mughlai foodies. But avoid visiting, if you are on a very tight time schedule. They take time. Service is slow. But that is ok, when the food itself and the way they serve results in a rewarding experience.
Many thanks to all you guys, from all of us!!!
