Khichdi The Global Food - Kolad

Hey there, So I have not really tried pure Gujarati food, well I heard of this new and really adored restaurant, so I decided to give it a visit. Now let’s begin with the servicing, they will literally serve everything with so much politeness especially the manger around is a really wonderful person, the staff also was very friendly. Hygienic conditions are very well maintained. The ambience is similar to that of a cosy home tables and chairs, their utensils are entirely made of earthen clay and they have them sold as well. The open view of the kitchen was something interesting again, I loved the concept of cooking food in Clay pots it really gives a very enticing flavor to the food they had a variety of khichdi and Sabzi's, believe me I'm not a person who likes eating vegetarian food but this place was really so good with what they cooked we ordered paneer Tikka khichdi, sev tameta sabzi, Lassi, chaas, dahi vaati, mirchi pakode, bajra rotla, cheese burst thepyrolls, churma ke ladoo. All of them were wonderful. The pure ghee flavor was distinctive and could be tasted. Overall I'd say a really lovely experience, plus the Gujrati people would definitely feel the roots of back home there.

Khichdi is 5 minutes away from Vile Parle Station, just make sure to get down at the West Side of the Station. Initially started out to serve authentic Gujarati Food and 65 varieties of Khichdi, they now have opened a retail restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, where you can buy everything from the table to the pots you are being served food in. All the retail items are made in Gujarat and sold at a very reasonable price. Let’s start with what we had: • Appetisers • • Masala Papad 5/5 Freshly cut onions, tomatoes were generously served on roasted Papad served hot which was topped with Sev. Freshly cut onions and tomatoes on a roasted Papad were a treat, the taste was quiet refreshing. A must have appetiser before you start your meal. • Theppyroll Aluwala 4/5 Thepla is stuff with Masala Potatoes served hot with dressing of lettuce. Theppyoll is a unique concept of a roll as Thepla is a much healthier alternative to your regular maida Roti and does more good than harm. Theppyroll Aluwala was spicy and delicious. They also have other variants of Thepla rolls like Paneer and Cheese Burst. Looking forward to try out the Cheese Burst Variant. • Main Course • Bhaji, Khichdi and Kadhi are served in earthen clay pots for the ultimate desi experience. All the food products are prepared in Desi Ghee too, again for the Desi Experience. Plates served are the disposable dried leaf plates and they plan on introducing edible plates in the coming months. • Papdi Muthiya Nu Shaak 4/5 This was the highlight of our visit. This was a spicy bhaji with pakodas in it cooked in spices. • Masala Khichdi Desi Gujarati Kadhi 5/5 We went for the small portion of the Masala Khichdi. The combination of Masala Khichdi and Desi Gujarati Kadhi is a pair made in heaven, each bite of it you could taste the Khichdi and Kadhi along with the pakodas in it, definitely an amazing Khichdi experience for me. They have set the bar so high for my Khichdi experience, I have no place but this now to fulfil my Khichdi cravings. • Rotlas 4/5 How can I eat the main course without Rotlas? They serve one of the most delicious, heaviest and biggest Rotlas I have ever seen. Rotlo are served hot dressed with Desi Ghee. We had Bajri no Rotlo, Jowar No Rotlo and Jav Ajmawalo Rotlo. Everyone has a favourite choice of Rotla to eat the bhaji with, mine was Bajri no Rotlo Palak. • Desserts • Moong Dal Halwa 5/5 The classic Moon Dal Halwa freshly prepared in Desi Ghee served you piping hot. It was heavy but it was delicious, each and every bite of it made me want more of it. • Assorted Ladoos 4/5 We were served a plate of Ladoos consisting of Besan Ladoo, Boondi Ladoo, Moti Chuur Ladoo and others. • Beverages • Beverages are served in their earthen clay matka glasses for the ultimate desi experience. • Chaas 5/5 Chaas was just amazing and refreshing. I have no words to describe it, one of the best Chaas we had till date.

Khichdi.... Not just a word but an emotion for kutchi like me. This place in Ville Parle serving varieties of khichdi from the local flavours to international twists is must try on the food lovers list. We tried there 'Nira Kanda Lasan ni Khichdi

A good restaurant to eat gujrati marwadi style cuisine. We visited around 11 pm, it wasn 't crowed but one fourth of restaurant was occupied. Menu was full of mouth watering dishes but we had stick to signature dish 'Khichdi ' variants as it was late and want to keep it light. We ordered Masala Khichdi and Jowar Khichdi with Kadi it was amazing. We ended up ordering mix dal Khichdi, it was too good. They do serve different types of pickles(complimentary) and you will simple love it. For Gujju marwadi food it 's must to visit place and will try more dishes on next visit. They serve food and water in earthenware. You can also buy earthenware from them.
