FOOD REVIEW: Hashmi Westlands

Hey guys,
I hope you've having a good week.
Now this is a short review of a restaurant that I've come to love recently. I've gone here about three times now and all in the same month.
If you love spicy kebabs or tandoor wraps you will love this place.
This isn't your usual Indian restaurant. You wont find any spicy curry or stews here, just grilled chicken, mutton and beef. Its a Indian BBQ restaurant!!
Most of the meals are charcoal grilled.
It is located at the Nakumatt Ukay in Westlands.

I have tried several meals here and  I think I now have a favorite few. All in all, everything here is tasty. Its one of those restaurants you make your own order but you can't help but stare at the food others are eating on the next table.
It is quite spacious, perfect for family dinners or a Sunday afternoon lunch.
The prices are also quite reasonable ranging from 450 to about 1100 Ksh for the chicken, mutton and beef.
They have the authentic chicken tikka for only 750 Ksh.
If you can't decide what to have you can opt for a mixed grill of basically everything which goes for 1100 Ksh.
Fries go for 150 and 200 Ksh with a salad.
I was also jazzed by seeing their large variety of naans.
The juices here are divine especially the TANGERINE JUICE, Yes note the caps! Its really that good! I tell you, you cannot find tangerine juice just anywhere. I would frequent a Chinese restaurant in Westlands specifically for tangerine juice but then they closed down two years ago....sob sob! You can imagine how happy I was when I found it at Hashmi. I sometimes pass by just to have a takeaway glass.
A large glass goes for 250 Ksh.

 
Now back to the food.
On our last visit me and my boo ordered two different meals with two different accompaniments.
He got the chicken kebabs and I got the chicken wrap also known as the "tandoor"


We also ordered fries and vegetable rice.



This place is officially one of my best spots to eat out. The portions are quite generous. Ambiance is good. The place is clean and the service is excellent.We recently had one waiter add us salad and fries on the house. They also do deliveries at a small charge. This is one restaurant that I highly recommend. 
So make sure to check it out this weekend.

  2. I totally agree with you. Hashmi has become one of my favorite Indian restaurants..and their tangerine juice is divine! I enjoy the mixed grill most, a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
