From past few weeks I'm thinking to go to some traditional place and try some traditional Cuisine like Desi Thali's. So I pin some restaurants in zomato I asked some foodies which place is better and then many foodies specially Shahbaaz Zaman strongly recommended me to try Suruchi. So I check in here for dinner with some of my foodie friends and spend a traditionally Delicious evening.
Location - It was located in ballygung. Opposite side on Quest Mall next to Bata Showroom in a narrow lane. First floor of the same building were Barista and Gupta's was.
Décor- Well Décor was completely Traditional. Theme was Rajasthani. Wall was covered with golden Peacocks and trees drawings in blue background wallpapers. Seats were like Gaddi very comfortable and royal. There are Rajadhani traditional puppets all over the walls. Devided in two rooms. One has a straight line long table to sit and single separate table to sit and other one is a big hall with some tables to sit fully separated with a big door. In this hall you see a old age bell clock and couple of Rajasthani paintings. Lighting were also equally traditional.
Ambience- very impressed with the Ambience. It was fantastic. Hospitality was heart touching. Service was quick and presentation was amazing. Staff was very friendly and confident. Impressed with service also alot. They were really good in that. You gonna loved their service and I don't think you find any complaint about it.
So now let's talk about love i.e. food.
They Served Thali's so we ordered all three Thali's i.e. Rajasthani, Gujrati and Punjabi and on special request they allow us to mix all Thali's so that we can enjoy all the dishes and write about it.
Okay so let's see what we tried and how good were that.
In thali first item we got was Chhas (buttermilk) It was spiced buttermilk with some chat masala, crushed cumin, black salt and some coriander leaves in it. It was very good but it will be more better it they add some mint leaves in it.
After then they serve us Dal Bati Churma in Thali which was an traditional Rajasthani snack in which Dal was an simply spicy and hot chana dal and bati was bolls made of Whole wheat flour which we fried in desi ghee and Churma made of finely smached gur. We mix all three together and pour some desi ghee on top and made a amazing snack which was very Delicious in taste and royal in look.
Then they serve us Khaman Dhokla and mung pakodi with some chatnis. Dhokla was very tasty. It was soft and Khaman was properly maintained. We can feel the tanginess of Khaman with rawness of besan and sweetness of water. Served with coriander and mint chatni which was also tasty. Mung Dal Pakodi was less spicy and salty just the way made it Rajasthan. Very tasty served with imli and chilly chatni & Garlic and chilly chatni they were truly desi, very tasty and best match for pakodi.
Then they serve us all the vegetables which were reviewed below-
* Gatte ki Sabji - This was the one which I'm having from my childhood atleast once in a month. My personal favorite and they mede it truly Delicious. The best part is that they haven't experiment with it. They made it pure traditionally. Gatta made with Dough of besan floor with some spices and red chilly powder. Cooked in yellow gravy with dahi mixed to it tastes finger leaking Delicious.
* Chana Masala - Kabuli Chana cooked in dry gravy with full of spices and ginger garlic paste tastes truly punjabi. Spicy and very tasty.
* Corn & Methi in Cream - It was punjabi dish. Sweet in taste made with boiled corn and methi cooked in Cream very Delicious.
* Beans Dal - Many people didn't knew about it so let me tell you what exactly it was. It was an north indian dal which was made with white kidney beans which were tastes like soya bean and rajma. With added some spices and cooked in tomato gravy. It was very taste and also this beans has large amount of proteins which helms in cure diabetes and kidney problems.
* Butter Paneer Masala - Punjabi dish made of soft and creamy paneer cooked in Cream and cashew dry gravy. Very Delicious, creamy and little sweet.
* Dal Makhani- No need to describe this one we all know what is Dal Makhani was. One of the pride dishes of north India. They made this with true love. Tastes just like tastes in home. thick, creamy and spicy. Very tasty.
* Rajasthani Paneer - Soft and creamy diced paneer cooked in yellow gravy with some spices and methi tastes spicy and little tangy cause of dahi factor. Very Delicious. Loved it.
* Sweet Bitter gourd - Yes you heard it right sweet bitter gourd. But no they didn't make bitter gourd sweet. Bitter gourd was in its actual taste. They just fried bitter gourd in sweet sauce and with sweet vegetable which name I won't reveal. You try and find out yourself.i can only say that you gonna love this experiment.
* Aloo Masala - Boiled aloo cooked with dry masalas and less spicy red chilly powder. Truly Rajasthani, spicy and very tasty.
* Brinjal - The most hated vegetable worldwide Brinjal is one of the most favorite vegetables of marvadi people only because we made it so Delicious with of method of cooking with spices. First im double minded that they make it better or not but after tasting this I'm very impressed by them because they make it perfectly with right choice of spices.
* Parwal Bhaji - It was tasty but not up to the make. The method of cooking was perfect. The choice of spices was good but they use less spices because of that it was less spicy but still taste was good and it's truly Rajasthani.
* Aloo Tamatar - It was the most commonly cooked vegetable in marwari house. Boiled aloo cooked in tomato based red watery gravy which was spicy, little tangy and very tasty in taste.
With all this vegetables we have some breads to taste like Bajre ki Roti which was an traditional Rajasthani roti made of Bajre ka aata and it's taste best with gud and hot ghee. and we have phulka which was normally called chapati and we have khulcha and naan. All were cooked under perfect limit and tastes good.
Then after they serve us Rajasthani Khichdi which was made of boiled rice and pulses. Well some people wouldn't like this because they used to eat the thick one but in typical marwari house you always see the Khichdi cooked little watery and personally I'm also used to like the watery one. It was perfectly made. Little watery with perfect amount of salt and aroma of cloves and cardamom. Served with Rajasthani khadi which was simple, plain and tangy made of besan tastes very Delicious & perfect suit for Khichdi and Gujrati Khadi which was sweet in taste and made of dairy products.
After then they serve us steam rice with Rajasthani dal which was made of chana. spicy, hot and very tasty. and Gujrati Dal which was sweet in taste because they add sugar in normal spicy dal that's the only difference.
We end our traditionally Delicious journey with couple of Desserts reviewed below-
* Halwa- Truly traditional Rajasthani Halwa made of Suji and sugar. Made by fry suji and sugar in low flame and add some desi ghee and some dry fruits in it. Sweet, perfectly soft cooked and very Delicious.
*Custard- Custard was very Delicious. Yellow in colour because of saffron water and Delicious in taste because it made deliciously with mithai made, little caramel, dahi and rose water with added apples, pomegranate and sugar in it.
It was an traditionally Delicious experience. Like to thank the service team Mr. Rajkumar and other boys for taking care of us so nicely. Personal favorite place. Must try. Highly recommended to all. Loved it.
