gm is one of the oldest restaurants in fancy bazaar area serving authentic & fresh vegetarian fare. i have been going there from time immemorial as both my parents, who are converted-veggies, prefer this restaurant over the other veggie outlets.
but for a newbie foodie to search this place would be quite a task. i would advise you to take the directions from the local people when you reach fancy bazaar. if you know madhukunj sweets, half your task is done, as it lies in the adjacent bylane. on seeing its location you may wonder that who will prefer to come to this place for a nice meal & i wont disagree as the surrounding is very dusty and dirty owing to the nearby wholesale food market.but all will be forgiven when you enter the place as it nicely blocks all the shabbiness outside & during lunch & dinner time it is almost always packed. also they have undertaken a recent makeover making the place a bit more trendy for families.i have one complain here though & that is regarding the parking place which is next to nothing & you may have a tough time finding a place for your vehicle.
i must say i am quite a fan of their paneer. it is one of the freshest you will find in entire guwahati ( they make it in their restaurant itself ). people who know this place, come from faraway places of this city just to take their paneer.even at our home when mom plans to make any paneer dish, the paneer inevitably is from here. i even know some people in west bengal, who when they come to visit guwahati, make this restaurant a must-visit place. i would without any hesitation recommend their paneer delicacies, be it paneer masala ( their specialty ), paneer butter masala, shahi paneer or kadhai paneer. they all are equally luscious. to accompany it you can order their butter tandoori roti or if you prefer rice, you can order their special pulao. among the starters their malai paneer tikka & crispy baby corn are also very good.
the service is quite fast, though if it is packed it may take some time to process your order. the waiters are decent & if you are in a confusion, you can take their advise.
earlier their prices used to be one of the lowest among the veggie outlets. but after the recent makeover, they have increased the prices quite a bit which maybe a dampener for some people.but if you are a paneer-fan-foodie & haven't visited this place, you owe it to your stomach. ;-p
