Restaurant Review - Punjab Restaurant.

Delhi is especially known for Punjabi cuisine. And this restaurant does full justuce to that. This place has been there since long time in Ajmal Khan road, Karol Bagh and one of my favorites. I remember my hay days when I used to buy samosas in the evenings whenever snacks was not available at home. At that time there used to be a non-AC restaurant and a place for making and serving chats and sweets. It was initially called Punjab sweets corner.



Now it has grown into a biggie. Now called Punjab Restautant, this has all the needs of a good restaurant, superb food, quick service, couteous staff etc. Dont go by its name because it does not only serve Punjabi food but also South Indian items, chats and chinese cuisine.

Apart from a-la-carte items, you can also oget deluxe thali (Punjabi meal) for INR 150 which is reasonable enough. The meal includes 2 pieces bread, 3 tandoori side-dishes, one rice item, sweet, papad, salad, pickle etc.

Problems: Crowded, being in main area and a commercial centre, and at the corner which is the intersection of Ajmal Khan Road and Valmiki marg. Service may become a little bit slow during peak hours.

But as it is for any other restaurant in Delhi, the superior food quality will make sure you would complain neither about the crowd nor about the slower service.

Restaurant review - Udupi Restaurant, Delhi

This seems to be one amongst the most inspiring restaurants I can find in Delhi. Not only in terms of the food available but also the ambience. Specialities start from the very entry point. The below pictures show the way in to this place of food:

Udupi restaurant hosts an open-air garden restaurant and two air-conditioned restaurants.

This is a pure veg restaurant specializing in both North Indian and South Indian cuisines. You can order A-la-carte (individual items) or Thali (Meals). You can have North Indian as well as South Indian meals. You can have a mega North indian meal for INR 150. This meal would contain tandoori naan (with or without ghee), rice, Dal Makhni, Paneer side-dish, Raita, Salad, Pickle, Sweet, Papad etc. You can order Tandoori dishes A-la-carte.

South Indian meals include Rice, Kootu, Poriyal, Sambar, Rasam, Curd, Appalam, Pickle, Roti, Sweet etc. You can also order items individually, like Dosa (Plain, Masala, Rava, Onion Rava, Paneer, Ghee dosas), Uttapam (Plain, Onion etc), Rice items (Sambar, Curd rice).

Chat items like Bhel Puri, Masala Puri, Dahi Puri, Dahi Papdi, Kachodi, Samosa etc are also available. Do remember to get the taste of the delicious and variety Indian sweets like Halwa (North indian) and Mysore Pak (South Indian).

Though the name of the restaurant is of South Indian origin (Udupi is a place in Karnataka, South India), you can find a mix of Indian delicacies in this heaven of food on earth. This is located in Munirka near Munirka market in Delhi. This would surely be one of my all time favorites for long time to come.
