In case you are looking out for an authentic punjabi dhaba in Bangalore, there is nothing better than Sanjay dhaba. Their non-veg kababs and butter roti is terrific!
The food is served on steel plate, giving that dhaba style feeling. Boneless lemon chicken, pepper chicken, garlic chicken and pepper mushroom is awesome!! There is a different level of satisfaction in putting those succulent spice coated chicken morsels into your mouth using toothpick. Aaah!! I love the simplicity of ambience that they have maintained over years even after running their business so successfully. It's a must visit kinda outlet in Sahakarnagar area.

Looking for a cheap and budget friendly, then this is the place for good Punjabi types food. Palak paneer any day. Just love the way they prepare it. Any dish for that matter they are good. The restaurant is been serving since 30+ yrs.

This place has been a regular in our food escapades for over a decade now... And still makes a strong point...

The ambience is very dhaba-ish... Individual spaces seating 6 to 7 at a time... And the first floor has a more hotel setup with a few partitions

Service was good before... Now it's a tad irritating with the waiter not always registering what u say. Also booze isn't available in house... They get it from a bar ahead and not always will u get what u want...

Food- the lemon chicken is a absolute delight... Extremely well made... Great flavours.... And a mouth watering semi gravy consistency...
The pepper chicken had more coriander than pepper...
Egg chilli, gobi Manchurian were all good...

Roti, naan and kulcha are all served hot .. and are soft...
The chicken and paneer butter masala were good... The kadai chicken was a downer...

Biryani is good on quantity and tasty with some large pieces....

All starters and gravies are served in portions of quarter, half and full...

He expects you to pay for the booze by cash...

Bon Appetit

I have been regular to this place for over 8 years, a great place for family lunch outing with some tasty punjabi food. Our usuals are Sanjay special which is sumptuous and also chicken tikka are soft and tender. Would suggest this place any day while you are in and around Hebbal.

Cons- chicken gravy items aren’t that great, would suggest to try shahi paneer and dal tadka.

For food I will rate 3 but an additional star for the no fuss meal that Dhabas are known for country wide. If you are looking for a pocket friendly delicious meal, without the overly sweetened attempts to please customer, this is the place. Food is decent, not bad at all. Don't expect quality that will make you travel to Amritsar once you take a bite. At the same time 400 bucks for roti, butter chicken, chicken biryani and Lassi is a great deal for 2 people. Fast service.

The staff is good and the food is totally worth the money. Standouts for me were the Chicken fried rice and the kolapuri chicken and in veg baby corn Manchurian and everything that had paneer.

Anyone looking to sit and have a good meal especially in a good weather, this place is the perfect place to go to. 👌👌

Place was pretty decent. We went there for old time's sake but it's completely changed.

Food:
Masala papad: nice crispy and spicy

Mushroom pepper dry: this was different, more like mushroom pakoda .. batter fried mushroom with a lot of crispy curry leaves

Roti - was made of maida, not wheat

Butter naan and butter kulcha - honestly not mu@ch difference between all of them except the butter part

Paneer burji - this was nice, however initially it was a little bland. We then realized that it wasn't mixed well.

Dal fry- okay. Not great, really bland.

Buttermilk- excellent

All in all, it costed us 560 rupees for this much which is good vfm

Will I visit again? May not be. Nothing that would pull me back there.

Perfect place to have a wholesome lunch when you are craving for one. Went here for lunch today and after going through all that traffic, it was totally worth it.
We ordered Onion Pakoras which were crispy and served with a mint chutney. For starters we ordered, chicken manchurian (semi gravy) which was tangy and chicken kebabs which were light and scrunchy. They weren't too oily either.
For main course we picked normal naan served with Butter chicken masala and Hyderabadi chicken gravy which were delicious. It was easily the best naan i've had in a really long time.
We also ended up ordering egg fried rice which was filling and equally good.
For beverages we tried Lassi and Lime soda which was refreshing.
We traveled almost 20 kms to try out this place but it was totally worth it.
Those who are in and around this area, do try out this place!

We dropped by this place at sunday afternoon to grab a quick desi meal and I kust say it was the right pick. Entering the place you wont expect must but thats what is surprise element. Its got typical dhaba type sitting and cutlery. We ordered mushroom pepper dry, paneer chilly, bundi raita, kaju masala, palak paneer, tondoori roti and laccha pratha. Starters turned out to be amazing and main course did not disapoint. The only item which one can dislike is all rotis are made up of maida which they will honestly mention while taking order. I think they can improve on breads and delivefy part, else they are serving great. Service is also very fast and you dont have wait endlessly for hogging on some delicious food. I would rate it-

Are there two similar named dhabas in same place? Pics and menu point to different places.going by the menu my review is below.

Location:2.5/5 not so visible.

Ambience:3/5 casual and meant for relaxation

Service:3/5 decent but then we went in when we were the only customers.

Food and pricing: 4.5/5
Food is excellent but quantity varies when ordering vs eating in. Pricing isnt exactly cheap but compared to the usual team lunch destinations, its way cheaper.

Must try veg dishes are the dal tadka and the famous mushroom pepper dry. Even hardcore non-veggies were hogging multiple plates of these. Beware..no one can just eat one ...

This is one of the Dhaba on the Airport road which has been around 30 years. It’s a place that has survived, all the road expansions and desire to make every area a concrete jungle. The place is located very close to Hebbal and has the looks of a typical dhaba that we can get on the highway. The road is it located is now called the Airport road, is also the Bangalore – Hyderabad Highway or the Bellary Road. I recently went to this place to have my afternoon lunch and was quite impressed. Let me share my experience.

Location

The restaurant is on the Airport road but unless you know it clearly, there is every chance of missing it. I will give the direction from the Hebbal Flyover over. Soon after you get down from the flyover or enter the Airport road from Yeshwantpur side, you will need keep to the left. For reference, Aster CMI hospital comes to the left side. Then you drive up to the Sahakarnagar signal below the flyover, where you will need to keep to the right side. Take right turn at the signal and then enter the service road. Dhaba can be seen to the right side.

Ambiance

The restaurant has green cover from outside and the board is also slightly covered in greenery. You enter into the restaurant and can find plenty of tree under which is the 2-wheeler parking. If you are coming on 4-wheeler, you can keep the car in the service lane. There are plenty of 4-seat tables. They also have the traditional ‘khatiya / cot’ that is found in the Highways Dhabas. Each of them have a wooden plank where the food can be kept. The place is clean with washbasin and there is also soap. There is nothing more to say about the interiors.

Food

This is a restaurant that opens at 11am and closes by 11pm. The menu is fixed and you get food throughout the day. It’s the ideal place for anyone looking to have early breakfast or late lunch. I went there to have my late-lunch.

Palak Paneer – This is one of my favourite dishes and they did a great job with it. I could feel the taste of the Palak / Spinach in the subji. The paneer was also soft and the taste reminded me of how we make it at home.

Aloo Paratha – A pretty good paratha that had decent amount of Potato/Aloo. It wasn’t thick like at many places but just right. The taste was quite good with the pickle.

Raita – Combination of cucumber, onions, tomato, green chillies, curds and bit of masala is the perfect raita one can get. The taste was seemed to be like a desert.

Salads – One thing that I love about the food at the Dhaba is the salads. It is usually a combination of cut pieces of Cucumber and Onions along with lemon. They sprinkle some salt, pepper and masala powder which is the best appetizer.

Overall Experience

This is one of the best dhaba I have eaten in a long time. The taste is quite close to one of my favourite Dhaba on the Bangalore – Pune highway. The taste of the food was pretty good and service was also spot on. Interiors have been kept quite clean and it has decent ventilation. I recommend this place for going out with friends and family. I rate my current experience at 4.0/5.

Rating in other departments.

Food – 4.0/5

Service – 4.0/5

Ambiance – 4.0/5

Drinks – 4.0/5

Food for 2 at this place will cost anywhere between INR 400-500.

I am giving 4 star rating to this place because of the memories I have had at this dhaba. I was a vegetarian back then when we used to go to this place. And the waiter had known over time what to get for me exactly. Finally he would come to the table after delivering all the non veg items for my group and then serve me mine saying 'ye lo madam aapka ghas phus' well the food was decent for the amount paid.

This was like one of those weekend afternoon when Tastebuds denied eating anything but something spicy and desi from Dhaba. We went with Family for lunch and place was quite comfortable (do remember it's a dhaba). We tried crispy corn, dal tadka, fried rice, palak paneer and everything was tasty. Very good staff and don't forgot to try Pan.

This place is located next to brigade magnum near kodigenalli signal. Did not expect this place to be super hygiene, but not bad. Pocket friendly place, chicken dishes are tasty. Don't miss chicken 65 and pepper chicken. Khushka which is basically biriyani rice is a average. Service is a bit slow. Crowd is on the higher side during weekend. Overall a good place to relax over the weekend with your buddies.

After a disastrous party we found ourselves searching for a place to hog around Yelahanka…. Finally zomato showed me Sanjay Dhaba when we were on our way to Hebbal. It looked small and dingy from outside but surprised us as we went in.. There are separate places for family and the liquor section… Quite a few families could be seen around 10:30 – 11:00 when we went there. They also had a khatiya (bed with straw mattresses) arrangement which suited us a good deal. To find this in city, priceless

Love the days when use to go there in a group. Dal tadka was the best item anyone can have there. Even non veg items were considered lower than the beloved daal tadka. A perfect combination with all the items and that could also work like chakhna 😀. They have 2 branches, one on main road whereas the second one inside the street. Both serves authentic north Indian food items. Would like to visit again.

The best dishes to order ( according to me) are Palak Paneer, Kaju Masala, Babycorn Manchurian and not to forget Punjabi Chicken Masala.
Ambience is great, outdoor sitting is great except for a few annoying mosquitos.
Be ready to wait during rush hours and order your refill well in advance so that u dont have to wait long.

Also dont expect high standard of hygiene from this place.

Overall a good place to dine and you can head out with your pocket heavy.

I have been visiting this place from the last 20 years. They have two branches in the same locality one is specific for families called Sanjay Food Junction.
It is an awesome place for people who love North Indian cusine.
I have tried all the dishes here, the quality, quantity and taste have been consistent.
Dal Tadka. Dal Fry, Chicken Do Pyaza, Masala Rice, Jeera Rice and Punjabi Chicken are worth a try in the main course.
The onion pakoda and lemon chicken are the best starters.
Cost effective place, with a dhaba set up and hence, please do not expect a fine dine experience.

Food: North Indian Dhaba style. Heavy on masalas.

Ambience and service: Ambience is quite basic with charpoys as well to give you that rustic feeling. Service is quick.

Overall experience – 8/10.

Meal for two: 300-400 bucks.

Hygiene – 7/10. It's a Dhaba so a little on the rough side.

For some of us the quintessential Dhaba is always on a highway, serves good food which delivers that punch (read high on masalas), the ambience with charpoys and nothing apart from that to make you feel special yet where the feel good factor is at its highest. Sanjay Punjabi Dhaba is definitely one place you would like to be if you subscribe to this school of thought.

The ambience is basic as it gets. The charpoys are perhaps an attraction but not during a sunny afternoon or a rainy evening as they are placed in the open. The area surrounding the charpoys has decent tables and chairs. Hygiene is just about up to the mark. Food is served in about 10 to 15 minutes. I believe that Dhaba food is sort of synonymous with Street Food. So please bare that in mind.

We started off with a Lassi. It wasn’t too thick but was sweetened perfectly. If you are there a hot afternoon you wouldn’t want to miss it. The Babycorn Pepper Dry was crunchy and is definitely a must try. The pepper came in very well and the fried curry leaves and green chilies added a spark to it which was unparalled. For Main Course it was a Panner Tikka Masala, a few Rotis and Kulchas. The Panner Tikka masala was strong on masalas and spicy. Rotis and Kulchas were amazingly done and served piping hot. Gravy portions are usually quite large, especially when it is only two persons who are sharing it.

A long drive on a sunday afternoon got me to this quaint and rusty looking punjabi dhaba. Machans in the vicinity and punjabi speaking staff transcends you to your typical highway dhaba.

Started of with a plate of paneer tikka. Its frustrating that the cooks fail to marinate the paneer long enough. The flavour and aroma is felt only on the outside and really doesn't reach the middle.

Then we went for The malai kofta and dal makhani. Malai kofta was made well. The right amount of spice and sweetness coupled with freshly cut chillies and stuffed potatoes made this dish worth its weight.

The dal makhani was not rich in butter and ghee hence light on the stomach. Boiled rajma and black dal with onions, chillies etc was good on the taste buds and perfect with the butter naan.

The butter naan was perfectly made and a few restaurants can take tips from this dhaba on how to execute a perfect naan.

Then we ordered the veg biryani more like the veg pulao. Alot of french beans and just a sprinkle of other veggies. Your average pulao with nothing worth mentioning about.

All in all a great place and a perfect stop over after a long drive.

Menu: Since Punjabi dhaba obviously the spread is typical north Indian. They have kababs, curry options in chicken, paneer and vegetables. Rice and Indian breads to go with. The place doesn't serve alcohol. We tried Garlic Chicken and Paneer Pakoda in starters. Both of them were really good. Main course, Kolhapuri Chicken and Paneer Kadai was a little disappointing, though the Dal fry was really good. 3.5/5

Ambiance: They have tried to give it a Dhaba feel with khats but since its a close area the effect doesn't really work. Also the khats are a little too close to each other. 3/5

Staff: They are not very efficient nor very aware of the menu items. Given the kind of place a lot of etiquettes were not expected yet they fail to show their inclination towards providing a good service. 2.5/5

Value for Money: The place is cheap, really cheap. A dinner for 4 with starters and cold drinks cost us 1100 and food was so much that we had to get the leftover packed. So even with dismal staff and ambiance, the place is a good value for money.

Always loved it. And forever will. When we first shifted to this year about 10 years ago, this was one the only place we could actually find.
Being a vegetarian, I highly recommend dal makhni, palak paneer, pakoda, fried potato starter, jeera rice and the lassi.
Try avoiding the some paneer dishes as the gravy isn't very rich.
I feel that the quality has reduced a little. But however, I still love the taste.
The waiters are very friendly and the service is quick. :D

Great food at rock bottom prices. The service is really good and having been here regularly I know a few waiters so they take the liberty to customize the order to my liking. Anda burji, dal fry and panneer kadai are my favorite here. I have had some few other dishes and they are quite nice too. The buttermilk is good as well. Overall it's great VFM and celebration to the tongue.

Oh what tasty food this place serves you, every time. We used to visit Sanjay punjabi Dhaba once every week when I used to stay at Sahakaranagar. The food is really yum and the portions are good enough. The staff is friendly and you can taste authentic North Indian food here. Their jalebis were a delight too.

Located next to the Indian Oil Pump near Kodeigehalli signal, this is a legendary place for those who have been travelling through this road since it was still a two-lane dirty highway and not the swanky International Airport road how it boasts today. The road widening has led to this popular dhaba (yes, it's not just in the name) to shrink to the half it's size. Those who have visited - their kitchen spawned to the limits of current sitting area and earlier they had a typical dhaba-style open seating area covering space upto the current flyover! Huge!!

Owners have been running this dhaba/restaurant for more than 25 years now. They hail from the hills of Himachal and know exactly what the masses want in terms of authentic punjabi food. Service is ok and so is the ambiance. Do not dine in if you are fond of super-hygiene, crave for nice ambiance, good service and are fussy about the calorie content. This is just about the taste!

This place serves some amazing veg and non veg preparations. To name a few -  Tandoori chicken, Chicken Tikka, Kalmi Kabab, Tandoori Gobi, Veg/Gobi Manchurian, Paneer-based punjabi varieties such as Paneer lababdar, Paneer kadai, Paneer tikka masala, etc.  Their kababs are really tasty. I would also recommend Sanjay Spl Chicken and Chicken Punjabi.

Happy tummy, delighted tastebuds and jovial wallet make it hard to worry about other fringe but important matters that will drive certain class of people away from the place. But who cares? They have happy patrons who have been loyal for more than 10 years (and new patrons like me who care a damn about other things when the taste rules the game...)

An old timer Dhaba which now ends up within the expanded city limits. Extremely high value and their food quality continues to remain the same (over an observable 25 year period). The old favorites are their Chilly Chicken and Chicken 65 along with the staple Tandoori. Served piping hot and fairly quick makes it an instant hit. Servers are efficient and very attentive. Ambience isn't much of you're looking to impress someone with glitz. Impress them with the food and plain simple nostalgia. Hygiene isn't their high points, probably just about acceptable. Ample parking is available for both cars and two wheelers. Use the inner lanes from Dassarahalli Main Road to enter.

Very good and tasty food with partly open type dinning area. Overall experience was very good except the toilets. Cleanliness of wash room / toilet should be improved.

Authentic Punjabi Dhaba style food, great taste and great staff, unlimited sale with food is what a Dhaba always offers, Veg or Non veg this place will satisfy your tummy needs. Must try is Dal Tadka, Fish fingers, Chicken Tikka, Paneer Tikka, Kashmiri Pulav, Mutton Britani.

It's one of the oldest Dhabas that has stood the test of time. While most Dhabas have disappeared, this one not only exists, it is thriving as well Loved the Sanjay Veg gravy with rotis

Food is good and restaurant is near and clean. We ordered chicken sizzler and it's tasty. Only problem I found here is that people come with family and they are taking alcohol. So my request to the owner is to provide separate space for those alcohol people.

Had heard a lot about the place from local friends who visited Sanjay Dhaba during their college. Was a bit skeptical if it will live up to the expectations.. but it surely did. A must visit for it's starters only.. main course is okaish.. but amazing starters. Had a recommended dish, lemon chicken. Strangely no mutton on the menu.
