The Potbelly Restaurant Bihar Nivas - North Eastern Indian restaurant in New Delhi - New Delhi, India

Went there for early lunch around 12 and it was empty. Due to ongoing renovation we faced some issues with the entry and exit plus the view had construction. We ordered Tehri, gugni, madhubani thali and bihari thali - the quantity was good and the sides were really tasty. They had amazing parval tamatar and alu chokha. Tehri was full of veggis and amazing choka hua dahi. The atmosphere was good and the service was also very good. The staff was also courteous.

The perfect place to have an authentic Bihari cuisine. The litti chokha platter is a must-try. Also the sattu parantha platter. The ice rose tea was also amazing. The Makhana kheer was tasty but overpriced as per the quantity. Rest all great.

The place was good for bihari food. We ordered multiple dishes Service could have been better. Pro tip 1: Mix things on one dish being served and then eat it for traditional bihari taste. Pro tip 2: don't order sabudana separately as almost every dish had that

There are many aspect which makes this restaurant mole out of a mountain. PRICE: this is over price proportional to quantity served. All the new rates have been scribbled on small chits and pasted on menus which is thicker than tax reports of Bihar. A sattu parantha platter here cost more than a chicken platter outside which much less quantity. QUANTITY: The quantity of chokha is served in katori which is size of suji gol gappa. Same goes with mashed potato served for unknown reason or probably just to fill the empty space of serving dish. The two chutneys is full teaspoon each. They want mustard seed for every bite of sattu parantha. Their price proportion to quantity is unjustifiable, nightmare for north indian who wants to pay more for good food quantity. Pakora platter has 4 types of pakoras of 2 pieces each. Potato, Brinjal, onion and cauliflower served with chutney and priced at Rs.300/-. CONTRARY FOOD: Litti, a famous staple of Bihar, which is baked in coal so as to prevent it from frying/deep frying/using oil in any way and to prevent its taste giving a charcoal taste is deep fried. They just done the opposite of litti can still has the audacity to call it litti. Same goes with Chokha. A plate of litti chokha has urad daal on it rather than chokha. For formality, they serve chokha not brinjal one remember but brinjal mixed with potato in microscopic katori size, a size which you can find at any chapp corner, in which they serve green chutney or vinegar onion. Urad daal is served with saatu parantha and litti chokha for reasons unknown. AMBIENCE: No doubt, it has the excellent ambient and atmosphere but a crying child will ruin it without hesitation. One common toilet for entire lounge which has wash basin inside is quite a challenge. If one has to wash his hands, he has to use the toilet and lock the room from inside as the comode inside doesn't have a secondary door. CONCLUSION: They add the service charge without asking so beware. Moreover, if you want to travel all the way from Rohini or much far and want to eat Bihari cuisine, I recommend take NH19 and after Varanasi, taste the authentic Bihari food. Second route is after crossing Gorakhpur. Its time taking but gives far more satisfaction than this over priced, over hyped, under quantity, under washroom restaurant shall.

Food is below average and overpriced. Litti chokha at a hawker is better than what they serve. The only likeable food is Aloo Lalu Chop and Upside Down Pineapple Pastry

Liked the ambience, authentic food from Bihar, good service. Though a balance between the food price and portion size if reviewed can go a long way.
