krishna vaishno dhaba – based nearby dal gate is perhaps the most famous pure veg dhaba of srinagar and we paid them a visit to see if this place is worth the hype or not!
to start off, the place was already over-crowded, and we somehow found a seat for ourselves – a big family stood “outside” the restaurant with only tables placed in front of them and food served atop i.e. they stood and ate – this explains how famous the place is!
we ordered their shahi paneer, rajma fry, tandoori roti and roasted papad - onion salads and mixed pickles came complimentary!
taste-wise no issues and service was fine as well – and don’t forget the reasonable prices! but food quality has gone for a toss – the dalda based curries were somewhat unhealthy and caused severe discomfort and acidity to all of us! maybe desi ghee based preparation along with enhanced prices (obviously) can be a better option!
their pickles deserve a standing ovation – simply excellent!
hygiene of the place can be improved though – the place is pretty small and they can consider expansion if possible!
cheers!
