Food is really yummy.. I like their Mutton Biryani , malai murgh, and chicken reshmi kebab , chicken bharta and butter nan..The behaviour of the staffs are very bad and rude..Dont like their Hospitality

Food is good. Ambience is also good. However, there are no checking at the entrance for COVID protocol. Also the staff strength is too low as I saw same staff serving food and collecting dirty plates from table, which appear to bit unhygenic.Definately a no visit during these period.

Decent place.But staff really really needs to up skill themselves. This is at the hub of the city. Really disappointed with the lackluster nature of the staff.Another negetive thing is half of the menu isnt available.Btw here comes the foodTried Reshmi KebabChicken tandooriBalle balle dhaba special chickenMasala KulchaGarlic naanButter naan.Tandoori was lovely.Reshmi kebab was soft and nice.Kulcha was cold.Garlic naan good.Butter naan good.The thing i didnt like is the special. Dont take it. It is just their chicken bharta topped off with cream and a few nuts and they charge 200 extra for that.Rest all was good.

This place charges like a 5 star place for food that is good, but not great. In fact there breads are usually quite hard compared to other places and portions are smaller. The ambience is terrible. If I pay this much at least the dining experience should make up for it if the food doesnt. The service is subpar. The food however is good.

A cool to place to opt for groups.It has got an awesome ambience and you get nostalgic santa banta jokes complimentary on the display all around you which was something unique.Elaborate menu with lots of options to choose from.I really liked the portion size of their place.Service was a bit slow but we were informed prior about it.Overall it was a great experience.Definitely worth a try. 😊

Really nice ambience and the staffs were really professional and were friendly too i was amazed to see their coordination to arrange the crowd with all the COVId precaution. The food was amazing Chicken Bharta is a must try from this place butter nan was also cooked well and not very greassy it had proper portion of butter. Price was very reasonable and the quantity was good, Happy with their overall service.

The ambience is nice, although not seeming a dhaba, there are hundreds of photo frames on the wall.What I didnt liked is the service there, we went there with a group of 10-12 people, but they didnt bothered to give us glass of water even after serving the food. Wr had to ask twice separately for it.The food is fine, nothing extraordinary Ill say, prices are ok.

Worst experience ever,1st. Their staffs are very rude , they even serve your food in your plate just put foods in your table and they even listen you properly they have no good manners with their customer.2nd. Food some items are really good but some items are not cooked properly or some of over cooked like rotis (like hard and crispy)....Very bad experience.. i will never ever going to this restaurant.😑

I visited this place on Sunday noon. It was crowded. People emptied their stock of biriyani even before 3pm. Seems its most popular dish here. Tasted plain rice with yellow daal and chicken kosha curry. All the items were served very fast and taste was good. It was not too much spicy.Regarding the covid protocol we dont found any strict measures against this. Probably its because public are no more worried about this. And, another thing important is that they are not taking any other payment method except cash.

Ordered 15 mutton biriyani for lunch. Most of the dishes had mutton pieces from other dishes ( mutton khasa or something like that ), the salt content in mutton pieces were rather high.Could have simply told us that so many biriyanies were not available like jabar afgani ( just beside the place ) told us.

We tried this eatout restaurant recently because there were lot of good reviews on Google and it is quite popular locally. So, the food was good and the ambience was nice too. Location is absolutely good and easily accessible from public and private transport. But the service was slow and we had to ask for everything. The biggest disappointment was that they were not taking cards that day, so we had to walk down to an atm to get some cash. Again, the food was delicious and worth paying for.

The place has items of very reasonable price. I love chicken bharta so as usual, I ordered it, and trust me they make it really different than others. The walls are beautifully decorated with frames bordered with black containing quotes, movie posters, songs and other stuff. If youre a person who loves eating in dhabas, you might like this place. It also has a outer view with chairs and tables where one might enjoy food outside with lights beautiful placed. If youre around City Center 1, you can try different in this place. It is 2 minute walking distance from the BATA right beside CC1.

Nice place to eat. Pocket friendly. Good in taste specially malai kofta and daal Tarka. Located at the city center saltlake city. Beside Bata store. The ambience is good. Photo frames of Bollywood movies specially the Punjabi characters are duly framed and fixed everywhere including walls, ceiling etc. A must visit place for all the north indian food lovers.They should put more vegetarian items in order to catch vegetarian lovers.

Restaurant behind city center one. Place opened till 2am, so one can enjoy late night dinner here. Inside decorations are awesome. You can watch the kebabs are being prepared from your seat. Foods are delicious. Must try their tandoori chicken. Only down side is service is slow, you may have to wait for long time outside the restaurant.

If you like pictures, you will fall in love as you enter ! It has all the punjabi related peoples pictures hanged ! Not just the walls but the roof as well , you look up down right left its all so colorful💋🥰☺️ the food is sufficient for 2 people what ever the plate they use to serve ! I felt that naans price ( all variety ) were quite high , plain naan was ₹20 or so and butter naan costed ₹35. Apart from that they dont serve salad as complimentary, its a paid service. Disappointed on that , the place is cozy and its full of people who want to spend their weekends enjoying. Recommended for youngsters and slightly aged people group😁😁☺️😃🥰😇 i tried the paneer makhani and tadka wale amritsari chole and both tasted awesome and final bill was ₹600 . Overall rating 4/5. There is parking space as well for two wheelers but four wheelers will have to park in front of cc1 mall.

For spacial chicken biriyani quantity and was very good. They serves 2 pieces of chicken 1 aalo and 1 egg.Chicken biriyani was also comes with great quantity and they serves 1 piece of chicken 1 piece aalo. We were expecting an egg on besis of the price.Now coming to chicken kosha/curry. This preparation is something which flavour is still in my mouth.This made with 2 piece of chicken and dish is little bit spicy but tasty.This place decorated in propper panjabi dhaba style. Inside decorations are also good.

Being in my wishlist for so long yesterday visited the place & my experience was so-so... Nothing special at all...Ambience is good,one can see poster of those Punjabi theme movies along with pictures of famous celebrities...Staff was friendly and they are helpfulBut the major disappointment was they dont have all the items that are mentioned in the menu..I wanted to try some fish items but I couldnt so I had to stick around chicken +paneer things...My order wasPahari chicken tikka- taste is good, chicken was soft with well coated masala,Paneer tikka- again soft and fresh,Garlic Naan- good amount of garlic and crisp naanMasala Kulcha- loads of butter that driped which was a big no for me but taste was fineButter chicken-good portion enough for 2 people taste good with cream and butterMasala cold drinks-as usual,lime soda- didnt like itOverall experience was tik hai/mota-moti

It is a good restaurant. The price is not too high and the food quality is also good. One complaint I have is the small space of the restaurant. I wouldnt have had a problem earlier but due to COVID, now, this is one factor that you should consider. Apart from this, it is a good restaurant overall.

I ordered through Swiggy, no body cared to pick up the phone both swiggy and the restaurant. Almost more than 2 hours still no response from the restaurant.Swiggy delivery guy is not allowed to talk to manager and tells me talk to security.Security is very rude with his word says manager is not in the restaurant.He is roaming.He says I dont know how much time will the order take.Worst customer experience.Never seen a restaurant serving its customers in such a manner.If the restaurant owner is reading this you need to seriously look on how to provide your customers better treatment if not the food.
