Nivedhanam Veg International - Muscat

Had chat items. Bhel puri was excellent. But, They could include more items on the menu because I felt that options were too limited to choose from.

A group of 14 had been there for lunch one saturday afternoon. The place was empty which made us second guess our decision . We however decided to try out this place as we had heard some good reviews.<br/ The ambiance was good. The staff were courteous and arranged to get us all seated together.<br/ Their menu had varied cuisines to choose from. We sat and fought there like a bunch of school kids on what to order..After we had finalised the order, we were informed that continental food were unavailable! ****! And we had to start all over again.<br/ After the initial scuffle, we prepared ourselves to gobble up the food that started arriving...<br/ <br/ Soups: We ordered the Tomato soup, sweet corn soup and veg noodles soup. The tomato soup was yum, the sweet corn soup tasted good. The noodles soup however was watery and bland.<br/ <br/ Starters: I would rather call it main course than starters.. We had ordered more starters than the main course.... The first lot of starters arrived.. Gobi 65 and paneer fingers.. the gobi 65 was crispy n delicious.. The paneer fingers were below average though. Then came the wontons and the chilly garlic potato! The wontons were yummy. Crispy with a decent filling of vegetables! Chilly garlic potato!! My my!!. What can I say! We ended up ordering another plate of it!! Slurp! Veg Manchurian balls were equally yummy too. The paneer tikka was however not upto the mark.<br/ <br/ Main course: We ordered schezwan rice, schezwan noodles, Thai fried noodles, fried rice, a bread basket and a thali.. We ordered aloo Gobi masala and paneer tikka masala for sides.. The schezwan fried rice and noodles were good. There was not much difference between the Thai fried noodles and schezwan noodles! Except for the occasional pieces of baby corn and a slight hint of soy sauce!<br/ The paneer tikka masala was yummilicious! We took a peak into the thali ordered by one of our friends. We were floored by the podi n ghee and had to order 2 bowls of plain steamed rice just for d podi and ghee!! Heavenly!!..<br/ <br/ Desserts : Our dessert order was predominantly sizzling brownie and hot fudge sundae! I dreamt of ice creams and a mug of hot chocolate fudge along with it! A plate of 3 scoops of chocolate vanilla n butterscotch ice cream arrives with sprinkled nuts and barely any chocolate sauce!!(Puff goes my dream Disappointing! Sizzling brownie was the usual! I personally did not like it owing to the burnt taste!. The iced lemon tea was deliciously sweet. A little too much honey may be! But I loved it!<br/ Overall a wonderful meal. A little high on the pricing. But we were content except for a few glitches.<br/

Been here many a times since it is near my office.Good ambience.Good service.I mostly used to go for lunch.Their thali is brilliant the south indian one. I love the powder which they give along with it.Other favourites might be singapore noodles.

I had mini lunch for 100 which had phulka kurma, tomato rice with onion salad, sambar rice n carrot poriyal and curd rice with pickle. Loved it. Felt fullllll.

I have visited this place thrice till now (including today) and had their food home delivered twice till now. To describe it in one sentence, for all those who relish good vegetarian flavoured food that always reminds them of homemade food, then add it to your 'must visit ' list. Nivedhanam serves one of the best south indian thalis which doesn 't fail to leave a smile on my face everytime I have it. Their soups are quite heavenly too. I have so far tried the following starters : mushroom lollipop, paneer tikka, baby corn hunan style, and spring rolls. They are all really good. In the main course, the fried rice, peas pulao, veg balls in hot manchurian sauce were top notch and packed with flavours. Surprisingly enough, the fried rice wasn 't doused in ajinimoto. There wasn 't even a hint of the condiment and that 's what made it beautiful, I guess. <br/ <br/ The thai tofu curry with steamed rice was the only bad experience that I have had with their food. The veggies in it were under cooked and the curry tasted like a failed version of the Indian vegetable kurma that we all usually make. Their north Indian thali is definitely a treat for spice lovers. Carrot halwa is almost to die for, if you ignore the slightly high sugar content in it (am sure sweet lovers wouldn 't mind this). Gulab Jamun wasn 't so bad either. <br/ <br/ Overall rating :<br/ <br/ Ambience 3.5<br/ Food 3<br/ Service 3<br/ <br/ To sum it up, one can probably catch up with his or her family for quality time and for comfort food at this restaurant.<br/ <br/ <br/ <br/
