dera punjab

even after a mixed bag of reviews i still opted to visit this place just for the love of punjabi food and ambience. the place is made good... but we go torestaurantto have good food. not to see how well its made. it is said... try the most basic food preparation at any hotel and you can judge the rest. so for a punjabirestaurantthe most basic what i feel is a paratha. well i followed the same and ordered a paneer paratha with masala butter milk.

extremely sorry to say but the except the size of the paratha nothing was good. no taste, no proper stuffing, no spices, no aroma and the biggest disappointing surprise was that the paratha had no ghee no butter. how can a paratha be without ghee or butter ?

its time for the butter milk.... this was somewhat good and served in a tall punjabi glass. the taste was also quite good... but although it was a cold afternoon the buttermilk was higher in temperature than the outside temperature. after i asked for some ice cubes it was a little enjoyable but on the other side i had to compromise on the dilution of the preparation.

we are cultured and raised to respect food more than any product in this world. so without complaining we finished the servings

on and all a super disappointment...

one of the pocket friendly restaurants in usmanpura it consist of two parts one is mess and other isrestaurant. food is very good and taste is also quite good

this place is in the lane behind the gurudwara in usmanpura. i visited this place in jan 2015 . this is a decent joint if you are looking for good non veg punjabi fare. the hotel has 2 sections . one section is for the mess and other is arestaurantwhere they serve a la carte. i visited the restaurant.

the ambience is decent however they are short on wait staff, having said that there were not many customers in the restaurant. the service was prompt and nothing to complain about. the food is really reasonably priced and the taste is really good, the only complain i had is the food is a bit oily but then you can argue its punjabi food. the portions of the food are good for 2 people. we had 2 masala pappad, one gravy, one starter , 1 paraths and 3 rotis and our bill came upto about 350 rs

i would recommend this place to people who want to have decent punjabi food and are on a budget.
