Genuine Review of Matamaal: A Delicious Kashmiri Experiment
Four days ago, I decided to introduce my parents to something new and different from their usual daal and paneer routine. After a bit of research, I chose Matamaal, a restaurant specialising in Kashmiri cuisine located in Spectrum Mall, Sector 75, Noida. This was our first time trying Kashmiri food, so we were excited to give it a shot.
Ambience:
The ambience at Matamaal is quite welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a family lunch. The decor was tasteful and created a pleasant atmosphere that added to our dining experience.
Service:
Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff. However, we did experience a slight delay in service, which was a bit disappointing. Despite the slow service, the staff was courteous and helpful in guiding us through the menu, which we found somewhat unfamiliar.
Food:
Navigating the menu was a bit challenging, as we were unfamiliar with many dishes. Thankfully, the staff were helpful and recommended we try the thali, which they assured would be sufficient for 2-3 people. In addition to the thali, we decided to try the Paneer Kanti Walith.
The thali offered a variety of Kashmiri dishes. While my mother enjoyed it, I found it to be just okay. The portion was adequate for those with a moderate appetite but might not suffice for larger appetites. On the other hand, the Paneer Kanti walith, which resembled a wrap made with Kamiri roti, was a hit with both my father and me. We enjoyed it so much, especially me, that we ordered it again to take home.
The meal concluded with a dessert called Kashmiri Phirni, which was part of the Thali. It was quite good, and it ended our meal on a sweet note. Additionally, we were served a shot of Kashmiri Kahwa at the beginning, which was a nice touch and a pleasant introduction to Kashmiri beverages.
Price:
Price-wise, I found the thali to be slightly expensive considering the taste and quantity. However, the overall experience and the opportunity to try authentic Kashmiri cuisine somewhat justified the price.
Overall:
Overall, Matamaal is a place worth visiting if you are looking to experiment with a different cuisine apart from the usual North or South Indian fare. The ambience is great, the food is interesting, and it’s a good introduction to Kashmiri cuisine. Just be prepared for a potentially slow service and consider that the Thali might be a bit on the pricier side for what it offers.
Would I visit again? Yes, especially for the Paneer Kanti. It’s a nice spot to try something new and enjoy a family meal.
