What people say, in short
Moti Mahal in Hazratganj attracts recommendations for chaat, kulfi and imarti rabdi, alongside vegetarian meals. Some commenters see it primarily as an evening dessert stop rather than a destination for dinner. One long-time customer says it has remained good since their school days. Other diners found the food ordinary, the chole bland, or the paneer and kofta excessively salty. This is Moti Mahal Restaurant, not the separate Moti Mahal Delux.
