If you were a King, you would't go here. But then, you probably would have lost your throne[restro review]

As a (very) frequent customer of Badshah's I felt obliged to add to a review of the restaurant that appeared in the Kathmandu Post. I have a pet name for that restaurant. C all me what you may, hut I like saying Bad Shah and then by inference, Paras Dai. Yes, my pet name for Badshah restaurant is Paras dai.

Are you looking forward to some great Indian food? From succulent Tandoori Chicken to mouth-watering Biryani, Badshah Restaurant and Bar at New Baneshwor can be an answer to all your wishes.

I usually dont think the place is so grandly, but it is pretty good. And yes, its at a convenient location, so all the better.

Don’t let the minimal interiors disappoint you. With a well-managed dining area and with an irresistible view of the Valley, Badshah is quaintly charming. The owner, Nil Badan Suwal, has tried to bring out the Indian traditional way of dining in a different manner. Although a large place, Badshah is divided into several sections--a faux zoo is recreated on the balcony with cute animal mannequins, while paintings of typical village life on the walls give the place a rather unique touch.

Despite being small(when compared to, say, Bakery Cafes or Alina's Cafe's) it can comfortably table and serve a hundred people in its two floors, though the service might not be very prompt. On a normal day, the service is pretty good and nothing like the Bakery Cafes.

Serving mainly Indian cuisine with Nepali, Continental and Chinese snacks, Badshah is a typical joint that serves Indian cuisine. Its specialities include its kebabs, biryanis, tikkas, and naans, but Badshah offers other exceptions Indian dishes as well. Aaloo Lajawab Pakiza (stuffed potatoes marinated in yogurt) is a tangy curry with a spicy yet sweet taste. Indian Platter is a combo presentation that comes with mutton and chicken kababs and tikkas made with various herbs and spices.

Badshah truly lives up to its name, and is definitely a good place to try out some Indian food, without being very heavy on the pocket.

It does serve all sorts of cuisines but only a super-idiot would go there for Chinese food. The menu is very heavily Indian cuisine inspired, and the theme of the restaurant is Indian. Even though all there Indian items are great(and verry heavy) there's nothing particularly spectacular about any item, though they make chicken items rather tender, unlike at most other Indian places. If course, it's not expensive--with all the competition just across the road in form of cafes and Indian and Chinese restaurants, it just cannot afford to-- it's not exactly fit for a King(or his spoiled son, for that matter). Despite that, if you are around Baneshwar and crave Indian Cuisine, this is probably the best place to be.
