After lot of walking at BVK Iyengar road (near Majestic Area) to purchase some items, it was almost 1-1:15pm and I felt very hungry.. As Chikpet- Balepet area has many eateries, stopped at one of the cloth shops and asked the owner if any North Indian place serving veg food was available.. He suggested this Punjabi restaurant.. with the directions I got, it took me another ~10min to find the restaurant entrance.. Entrance is small for this restaurant ( I actually missed it first time and then noticed Name board). Entrance leads to narrow staircase which then opens to a hall where food is served. When I saw the menu, felt there were lot of good choices as they serve Punjabi and Jain food. Finally, after lot of confusion in seeing so many items in menu card :) , decided to have Amritsari Shahi Thaali (Rs.350/-) as I was very hungry.. Generally, I dont spend this much on a lunch, it had been almost a year since I had Punjabi food, so decided to have this Thaali otherwise it would be just a normal "meals" lunch at Udupi or Darshini restaurant when going out for buying items. There were only 2 other tables that were occupied other than mine out of 9 or 10 tables.. Food was made and served in 10min which I felt was less time, as making stuffed Kulcha and Paratha takes bit of time. The Amritsari Kulcha was surprisingly kept wrapped in a foil to retain the heat(good idea) while Lachcha Paratha was just kept on the Thaali ( it could have been served hot as well)..Thaali also has Rajma chawal(mixed) in a cup, Dhal Maakhni, Bindi sabji, Palak Kofta, 1 glass of Lassi and 1 Gulab Jamun. All 3 Sabji had nice mix of flavors and tasted good - Dhal Maakhni was great, Palak Kofta was good. Rajma Chawal was a little spicy for me but the glass of thick super Lassi cooled my tummy :) Felt Bindi sabji was okay, instead of it, if Punjabi chole were given for Amritsari Thaali, it would have been super combination. All items were more than sufficient for 1 person when it comes to quantityp.. Saying this as after eating Amritsari Parata and stuffed Kulcha with sabji felt nearly full.. Somehow managed to complete Chaawal, lassi and sweet ;) Heard from the owner that Restaurant was started in 1994. After finishing lunch, turned and saw all tables were occupied! It was almost 2-2:15. Go for any of the big Thaali only if you have the apetite to match :) else seriously suggest only to try separate items as food is rich in taste. Handwash area is separate, neatly maintained. Payment is accepted via cash, UPI, card. Parking - you wont get parking for both 2 or 4 wheeler on this busy street, better to park at "Kempegowda Maharaja Parking Complex".. much safer and reasonable charges. By walk, it will probably take 10-15min from the parking complex to this restaurant and your apetite will be ready for thaali meal :) If you like North Indian food especially Punjabi food, come with enough space to enjoy and eat good Punjabi food. Next time if I have to visit this area, will try Jain food at this restaurant. Landmark: If you see ICICI bank Chikpet branch on this street, you are on the correct street.. You can find this Punjabi restaurant diagonally opposite to another restaurant - "U D" ( which has big name board).

Visited this place after a long wait! Wanted to Try one of the Thalis and mostly Maharaja Thali as it's not mentioned in the menu but is quite famous. Maharaja Thali - you need atleast 4 people to finish this or else do not order and waste it, ofcourse they'll parcel the leftovers with some extra charge. The video I've added speaks for itself of the dishes given in it. Gobi Manchurian- can be made better and tastier, it was okayish Patiala Lassi - very tasty Rice dishes - Jeera rice and flavoured rice was okayish and not so tasty, maybe cos the type of rice used here is not suitable for it. Would be better if that can be changed and made more tastier. Gravies - all were very tasty Roti basket - 5 types of rotis, all were good! Overall a good restaurant to visit and experience good food if you're around chikpete or balepete. Will have to visit again to try out their a la carte menu!
