Bombay Halwa House

A famous eatery in the kilpauk locality and have been serving the area for quite some years . This is a proper restaurant with ample seating facilities and decent ambience ...the place is not that crowded during weekdays but fills up during the weekends. Prices are on the higher side. But they make it up with copious amounts of things like cashew badham in their menu. The food i ordered had almost a handful of cashews. The menu has a lot of options and the place. Overall good for once in a while outing.

A few years ago, Bombay Halwa House was packed by 8.00 PM, especially on weekends. The prime location, a fair amount of parking space and the food brought families flocking to the place. Then Covid happened. And when everyone switched to ordering on phones, the hotel went into passive mode. The crowds have still not returned. Or they've discovered fancier places close by. And while the food is still as we remembered, the empty tables are not. Which is a pity. Good North Indian food is still not as widespread as it should be. The mooli paratha. The koki recommended by the helpful waiter. And the babycorn pakodas, with a thin, spicy covering deep fried and then soaked in green chutney for that burst of spicy salty goodness. The old world waiters are disappointed when you don't order enough to feed an army. They are used to seeing large orders, not a few lines on the kitchen order token. Our man tried. But we gently turned him off and said that we wanted the pleasure of eating a little, not a lot. He actually looked hurt. The decor is simple and the food fresh. It reminds you of what eating out in the 80s was like. The plates, the portions and the serving was from another time The glitzy places have taken over. But if you want a burst of nostalgia and street food served in relatively nicer surroundings, walk in and savour the good old Ghar ka Khana.

One of the oldest Vegetarian North Indian restaurant in Chennai with the traditional cooking flavours and taste, bombay halwa house is the original restaurant available today to try out North Indian foods in Chennai! . We had an awesome dinner from lassi, rotis, Manchurian, gravies to falooda and everything were rich in taste and quantity was appreciative! . I started with Spl.BHH lassi, it was so thick and tasty, it was filled with malai at the bottom which have additional taste to it! . Then we had chilly paneer and mushroom Manchurian with papad as staters. They were well fried and presented well. It were crispy and fresh to taste. . Then we had Spl.BHH family platter, it has a combination of 6 starters and serves 3-4 peoples made of paneer, mushrooms, pineapple, capsicum... each one being different and unique in taste and flavour. . Then we had different rotis and breads from Masala kulcha, Cheese Garlic naan, methi Parotta, Ajwain parotta and gobi kulcha. Each bread were made fresh and quality and quantity was par to the price!we even had veg biryani and paneer schezwan fried rice. . Gravies included paneer cheese tomato, gobi keema mutter, Veg kholapuri, dhall maharani and methi malai corn! Dal maharani had 5 types of dhall which makes it distinguished from others, stuffed tomato had paneer stufings inside, so you can have whatever combinations you want mostly here! . Finally we ended with indian faloodas (must try) which were so good and were available with Ice cream or kulfi. Both were different completely in taste, so try to taste both! . Overall, it is an awesome restaurant running successfully for such a long period with the same pride and quality. So food is so reliable. You will have ample parking and it is child friendly. Staffs are so polite and caring.

This restaurant has been my go to place when we have to eat Vegetarian food for many years. Conveniently located close to where I live, its on the 1st floor and serves some delightful, authentic North Indian dishes. They serve pure veg food cooked in hygienically maintained kitchen using Desi Ghee. They are the original and have no other branches. The menu is rather extensive and has predominantly Punjabi food, Desi Chinese with Jain options too. They serve selected Sindhi dishes for which you have to pre order a day before. I started off proceedings with a delightful Veg Manchow Soup and was taken in with the flavourful broth, with generous pieces of ginger and garlic adding to the zesty feel. Baby Corn Manchurian, Chilly Paneer and a Veg Kabab platter were our starters. The taste was totally on point and I loved the presentation of the platter which came with a lit tomato flower. Since we were a large group we went along with the owners suggestion, plus a few of my evergreen favourites - Masala Kulcha, this panner and vegetable stuffed Kulcha has to be one of the best in the city. This pairs really well with the Gobi Keema Mutter, which I haven't tasted elsewhere. Veg Kolhapuri, Methi Malai Corn, Stuffed Tomato were the other gravies we tried with Cheese Garlic Naan, Methi Paratha, Gobi Paratha and Ajwain Paratha. Special mention must be made of the Dal Maharani- which is made with 4 types of lentils as opposed to the 3 types used in Dal Makhni. We also tried the Schezwan Paneer fried rice, my son's favourite and the Veg Dum Biriyani. All the dishes were excellent and I must say that the taste was distinct in each dish. We were totally stuffed by then but couldn't resist trying a bite of Special Kulfi Falooda. The homemade kulfi was cut into cubes and loaded with rabdi and falooda. A rich and satisfying finale to the meal accompanied by the lively conversation we had with Mr. Rajkumar Duseja and efficient service by Mr. Sharmaji. They do have a party hall which can comfortably seat 50 people and can be hired for private gatherings.
