"This was my second visit to Al Madina and I am filled to the brim after today's lunch. The first time my experience was average taste-wise but this time I completely devoured in the food. Al Madina is not the kind of place you would go for ambiance and I felt that I am eating in an Old Delhi restro. Most of the people don't dine-in here as there are only 2-3 tables struck between the racks of kitchen counter and grocery items.<br/ <br/ Coming back to the food, I would say its a pure bliss as compared to the other Indian restaurants in the area. We ordered Chicken Sandwich, Beef Keema Sandwich, Lamb Biryani and Suji Halwa (A sweet dish made from Semolina). The beef sandwich was better than the chicken, but both were filled generously with onion, tomato, multiple sauces apart from the meat and wrapped in a tandoori roti. It took me a lot of time to gobble up everything together but each ingredients' flavor added to the overall taste which was drool-worthy. The lamb biryani tasted authentic and the meat pieces were very succulent so much so that the meat was coming off smoothly from the bones. Suji Halwa completed our lunch by adding the much needed sweet ending to a savory lunch.<br/ <br/ I can't say much about their curries as the one I tried in my first visit, Chicken Quorma, wasn't anything to write home about but their Naans are the real deal! Super-soft and fresh! Go there to have some mouth-watering food, just don't expect fast or personalized service, although they try their best, but the rush is too much to handle!"
