First and foremost Food here is amazing. Now about the services and ambience, it's an amazing place. Very Punjabi theme and the moment you enter you will start looking at the posters of Hindi Films, pictures of famous personalities and quotes which are placed almost everywhere. This is actually a good tactic to keep you busy while food is on its way. Staff is very courteous and service is very fast. In total a complete package of Punjab. Great going guys! Keep it up.

I ordered chicken tikka kabab it was very good in taste and quantity was also fair enough according to the price. The best thing about the place is their ambience and obviously their food... All together makes it a perfect place for some drooling Indian Cuisine.

Just landed from Delhi and thought of having lunch here.... I loved the mutton biryani. In chicken bharta, I think they can do away with a little bit of oil. Otherwise good experience

This restaurant is located just near City Centre 1 and this one gives a total punjaabi dhaba feel with loud punjabi songs which you can hear even from outside! Nonetheless the songs & the posters/ decors inside givesa kick to the mood and ambience!
Coming to the food that I ordered:

•Chicken Reshami Kebab
• Tandoori Aloo Butter Masala
•Peas Pulao
• Sweet lime soda.
The food was good but nothing extraordinary. The Kebabs were very juicy and tasty but the Pulao was way too much oily which was very disappointing. Other than the Pulao, other things were good enough.

P.S: You can drop by with your friends to enjoy the punjaabi dhaba feel but the food is quite normal like any other North-Indian restaurant!

If you’re looking for authentic punjabi food, then this where you should be. Each and every item was really sumptuous. Once you’re there: the ‘mutton adrak ke panje’ is a must try. We ordered 1/2 chicken malai tikka, 1/2 mutton adrak ke panje, 1 kadai chicken, 1 keema naan, 1 garlic naan, 2 fresh lime soda, 1 mineral water - the entire order costed us ₹1390(all inclusive). The order turned out to be little extra for 2 adults but the food was so delicious that not a drop was wasted. The taste of each and every item was good and the flavours were in balance.

Coming to what we ordered:
● Mutton Biryani:
1 plate is excessive for 1person. It tasted good. Had a good piece of mutton. They changed a piece when we were not satisfied with a piece of mutton.
●Tandoori chicken:
Huge pieces of chicken absolutely amazing.
●Balle balle special chicken
This was chicken bharta presented in an unique way garnished with nuts and various spices. It tasted amazing.

The ambience is mind blowing with dim lighting and posters of various movies which justifies their theme.
The staff was helpful and polite. But had a bit slow service.
Overall we loved this place.

I visited this place for the first time along with my family. It was very crowded as it was Saraswati Puja but still we managed to get a table. We ordered garlic naan, masala kulcha, mutton rogan josh and chicken-do-pyaza. The star was the mutton rogan josh. The mutton was cooked perfectly and it was extremely delicious. The kulcha and naan was also great. And the chicken tasted delectable too. The only reason I am giving a 4 star is because there was no kulfi available and I so wanted to have it. 😂 Overall an excellent place to hang out with your friends and family.

Visited this place late night with a couple of friends, few days back, the place was jam packed even at 12am midnight, had to wait for more than an hour in the queue. We had butter naan & chicken butter masala. The food was pretty good and affordable. The only real issue was that there was no knob on the washroom door, so opening it from inside the washroom was a challenge.

Balle Balle Dhaba, located just adjacent to City Centre 1 Bata, is the most busiest Restaurant joint. Always beaming with a young and vibrant crowd, this place serves authentic Punjabi cuisine. Recently I went to Balle Balle for dinner and ordered for Chicken Reshmi Kabab, Chicken Kaju Bharta, Chicken Biryani and lastly, Dahi Mix Raita and Firni to finish it off. The food quality was good, but they can increase their quantity portion. The Kababs were tender and tasted great, Chicken Kaju Bharta paired with Biryani tasted delicious. Overall, a nice place to try out Punjabi dishes.

That was my birthday and want to celebrate that day with my family at a very peaceful food joint and found this dhaba as it near my home. They really serves some authentic Punjabi couisin but the prices were bit high and the service was prompt and staffs were also nice. I also ordered many items through zomato and get a 40% zomato coupon.

Ambience- Ambience was really good. They has a huge sitting arrangement for nearly 40-50 peoples. And the place was cozy as well as their interior. Many Punjabi Bollywood movie poster hanging from wall and you really enjoyed a pure dhaba experience. They also has outdoor sitting arrangements.

Location- Near city center 1 salt lake sector-1, opposite of Kalyan jewellers.

Service- Service was prompt. The food serves within 15-20 mint after ordered and the behavior of staffs was really good.

Now come to the foods that I tried-

||Tandoori Chicken||- I ordered for half and it's cost INR 240 but I got it within INR 168 by ordering through swiggy. It's served with lots of onions although the price of onions was high but they don't compromise to the quantity which was really impressive at this time. The chicken breast pieces were medium size and it's marinated in tandoori spices and had a smoky taste. It's really a worth trying starter for dhaba couisin. #Recommended

||CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA||- This one cost INR 315 and it contains 5 pieces of juicy medium size chicken pieces. The gravy was so tasty and thick and good with butter nun. Recommend.

||EGG TADKA||- Tadka was okay not so special but as a Punjabi couisin I think Dal makhani should be better. The Tadka consists of scrambled eggs, veggies like onions,bell peppers, tomatoes etc and razma also. The taste was good and it's cost INR 165.

||CHICKEN BIRIYANI||- As a biriyani freak, I must try biriyani everywhere it was available and forgot about what type of couisin restaurant served it😂. So ordered it through zomato and it's cost INR 157 after adding the zomato coupon. The biriyani contain one mammoth size chicken leg piece along with one perfectly boiled potato. The biriyani taste was okay nothing exceptional. Chicken was so soft and tender as well as the potato.

||Chicken Bharta||- This one cost INR 260 and the quantity was good for one person. The presentation also very eye catching and I've no words to describe the taste of the dish, it's really lip's smacking. You should try this item, it's highly recommend.

||BUTTER NUN||- Nun was so soft and fully loaded with butter and the most important thing was that the size of the nun pieces were so big and you hardly found this size of nun at any other restaurants. Each nun contains two gigantic piece and it's cost INR 50.

||Masala Kulcha||- The cost of Kulcha was INR 70 and it was fully staffed. The taste was really good and it's good with any kind of side dish specially with the chicken bharta. The portion was poor as comparing with the price.

||LASSI||- Any dhaba food should finished with lassi. And it's cost INR 90. The lassi was really good but the price was much higher than the quantity.

Quality-5/5

Taste-5/5
Service-4/5

I am writing this review after visiting this restaurant for atleast 3 times. It's right next to City Centre 1. Ambiance is okay and you might like it if you are a film buff. Service was prompt and the person serving us was very polite. We ordered Naan, Masala Kulcha, Chicken Tangri Kebab, Mutton Keema matar, Chicken Tikka Masala. Tangri kebab was excellent very juicy yet the smoky flavour. Naan and Kulcha was good. Chicken Tikka Masala was tasty. But unfortunately Mutton Keema was a bit blunt, I have tasted better mutton Keema in this same restaurant before as well and I know it tastes good.

Been there a few days back with my family for the first time. Must say, made a mistake of visiting the place a bit early.
The staffs were very friendly. Ambiance was too good. It gives you a tinge dhaba flavour with pictures of Punjab and people associated with that part of the world.
Coming to the food, we had Chicken Reshmi Kebab, Tandoori Roti, chicken Lababdar and Butter Chicken. The dishes were amazingly delicious.
Overall a must visit for the ones who hasn't visited the place yet

A great Punjabi "Dhaba Themed" restaurant near City Centre 1.

Food :- The food here is okay but I would say that they specialize in the dishes which have chicken in them. Overall, the food is just as good as the food of any other dhaba.

Ambiance :- The ambiance can be a little noisy at times but the decoration that they have done to give this restaurant that "Dhaba feeling" to it is really appreciable. You really feel like you are eating in a real dhaba while eating here and the outdoor section of it is also not that bad.

Service :- The service is good.

Overall, this is a good restaurant and a must-visit for fans of Punjabi restaurants or Dhabas in general.

We have been here yesterday. This was a team dinner from my office. One thing must say the food was awesome. We have chicken tandoori, butter naan, chicken butter masala, balle balle chicken, pulao, firni and fresh lime soda. Everything was too good. I personally did not like the balle balle chicken. But others like it. Everything was huge in quantity and quality was good too. I would like to visit here next time with my family.

One of the Best North Indian Restaurants. The curries at this restaurant is just wow. The Chicken Tangri Kebab is a killer. Big and juicy from the inside. We had the Chicken Biriyani / Fish Tikka Butter Masala/ Egg Masala and Garlic Naan. The Fish was very tasty and fresh. The Garlic Naan was really good. Egg Masala was rich. All the items were different and delicious in their own way. People who enjoy North Indian food. This is the place to visit and smile after the meal. Happy Eating Always here

The kebab is just so delicious, I still get its smell from my hands even after a few weeks. The quality and quantity both are top notch and it's worth eating. The price is just a bit on the higher side but it's worth it. The ambience is not very attractive but the waiters are well behaved and maintain proper hygiene. They don't take a lot of time to serve either. The washrooms are clean as well. The place is always worth visiting. Ideal for a couple trip, family trip and also with friends group.

We had Special Mutton biryani for ₹500 and it is enough for two people. There will be two mutton pieces a single egg and a plate full of rice. It was delicious and the mutton was soft. The ambiance inside is really good while you can also take a seat outside which is nicely decorated and has a good view.

What I liked the most about this restaurant is it’s ambience and the decorations. It was too good. Liked the food, all the items were served very fast. The place is not big enough so it can be felt that much congested but that’s a small part. Otherwise it was a very good experience to dine in. Thank you for such an amazing dinner.

the food was ok not as per the expectation, ambience is nice as it is just beside city center and the location is also prominent. I personally not like the food that much but the taste depends with the people's choices. Ambience is nice parking will be available and one can park inside City center parking. Chicken tandoori I can suggest to try.

The food and the way they serve you makes you really feel like it's a dhaba but a restraunt. The place looks really amazing with lots of different Punjabi jokes/film references. The staff here is polite and humble always ready to serve you. For the food it was great and tasty with the kulchas and dals and everything. Overall great
