It is believed that actor Sanjay Dutt visited the hotel Noor Mohammedi quite often and was a fan of their chicken preparations. As a patron when Sanju was on one of his regular visits, he directed the chef to prepare a dish with his own recipe and that became the famous Chicken Sanju Baba that is now a signature dish at Noor Mohammadi. The dish became a very big success and food gourmands from across the country visit the restaurant to try this lip-smacking preparation.

When: 6 am to 1.30 am

2. Bhaijaanz

This restaurant in itself is an ode to none other than Salman Khan who is famously known as Bhaijaan. But apart from their offbeat décor that has posters of Salman Khan movies all around the space what is interesting is their menu that divides dishes into sub-section with headings that are a twist on famous Salman Khan movies.
