A recently opened restaurant in Ahmedabad is one of the most recommended places where I felt few ingredients which were quite unique.... Apart from warmth which the place exudes in ample, there is lot of space, antique woven chairs, vintage style furniture which goes in line with the theme of traditional food. Tradition and generation goes hand, it is the generation today responsible to carry forth our tradition.. Madhorao is the right model of the statement.
Wall of Fame - Chaitanya Dalvi |
Chaitanya Dalvi, the man behind this venture mentioned, "The name, dedicated to my father and recipes are inspired by my mother, is what Madhorao all about. Being Goan by origin, I always wanted to present something unique on the culinary map of Ahmedabad. Hence, decided to serve traditional Maharashtran cuisine that too in bronze tableware adds to the authenticity of the culinary experience. Colonial furniture with spaced out tables are intended to give more comfort and privacy to the diners."
What I tried:
1. Mocktail - Kokum Sharbat, a natural ingredient available in Maharashtra and well known for its cooling properties. Best for summers.
2. Kothmir Vadi: Delicately fried starter loaded with fresh coriander (kothmir), mixed with gram flour and peanuts as base, flavoured lightly with condiments. This tops the menu amidst hot favorites.
3. Goan Xitachi Bhakhri: A local bread of Goan origin made out of Konkani Rice flour mixed with coconut and lots of cumin (jeera), fried to perfection and served piping hot. This crispy crunchy filler can fit in anywhere, as a starter or side dish.
Goan Xitachi is a creation of Sushma Dalvi, Chaitanya's Mom....Hence, a must try!!
4. Bharli Vangi: Brinjals stuffed with coconut paste, peanuts and spices served with Puris and Khamang kakdi (cucumber salad)
5. Puranpoli : Well known, age old favorite sweet bread stuffed with yellow lentils paste mixed with jaggery and flavours, shallow fried in desi ghee.. Something then to just grab on and bite upon!!
6. Mohan Thal: Again, gram flour roasted in desi ghee, sweetened with jaggery and loaded with nuts is a must have!!
Madhorao is spread over an expanse of two floors, located at Prahlad Nagar.
Avg cost per person : Rs. 150/- to 300/-
