Reviews Patiala Shahi Soups

Kharora soup. Here the taste of the meat is fantastic which makes your bones very strong. Can be taken with the family. The crowd is fantastic

Simply marvellous. Each and every item especially non-vegetarian ones are a must try. One of their specialty is soups and they are genuinely their specialty 😉

awsome food

Earlier was nice..but this tym okok..

great delivery man

better

Tried tawa chicken here with tandoori roti. The chicken was cooked well. Only thing was the excess quantity of butter, cream and oil that got into that. Now obviously you can ask them to put less, but the dish reqyires those it seems.
Have heard of their variety of soups, not tried though.
Outdoor eating. Area around is Not that clean. Better to order home

Famous for their kharode da soup.I have been here many times with friends....Not a family place to be but only guy's place. Cleaniness is a major concern. But the food makes for it.

•TAWA CHICKEN: Their speciality. One of the best Tawa chicken I ever had. Thick tangy and spicy gravy with perfectly cooked chicken.

•CHICKEN MALAI TIKKA: please try dis one if You are going for a non gravy item. Drenched with cream and masala . Cream onion and green chutney as a side will definitely satisfy your taste buds.

•MUTTON SEEKH ROLL: perfectly bbq with spice ... you'll love it.

Paneer Tikka and Afghani chicken is also good.

Abhishek: “Aapke yahan specialty kya hai?” (What’s the specialty at your eatery?)

Mr Sethi: “Sir, humare pas cheezein ghatt haan, par saari special haan.” (Sir, we have less items in our menu, but all of them are ‘special’.)
Meet the hardworking Mr Sethi, who usually stands at the cash counter but also marinates the chicken, slices onions and manages the workers. Mr Sethi told me told me that originally they used to sell only soups but now they have added more items to their menu. The journey started by the current owner’s father on a wheel-cart has now reached to a proper shop, where delivery and takeaway options are also available. But there isn’t a much place to sit. You’d find a few plastic chairs and tables but they are very less in number and stray dogs will roam around you if you eat there. People (usually males), in the evening, would often come here and eat. Also, they covertly drink there.
I tried their Chicken Soup, Kharoda Soup (Bone Broth), Tandoori Chicken and Keema Chicken. The onion salad that they give along with the food has a lot of cream in it, and like I’ve mentioned above, he called that cream-green mint chutney-onions as their specialty. I could believe that since many people were actually asking him to give onions with extra cream; his USP I’d say. SO coming onto the chicken soup – it was thick, and had too many flavours. I could feel the corn-starch used to prepare the base of the soup and along with it many spices were added. It had a tangy taste and shredded boiled egg whites, Paneer and shredded Chicken were added in it, while the bread croutons were added while serving the soup. It was spicy, and tasty. The Kharoda soup was hot, in terms of the spices added to it. Red chili powder, Garam Masala powder and green chilies made it a tad too spicy for my palate but it was definitely worth having. The owner told me that they have been selling these soups for about 25 years. It’s only 6-7 years ago that they have shifted to a shop.

Tandoori chicken was roasted to perfection, neither too much nor too less. I asked him about the ingredients he used for preparing the marinade for chicken but he was apprehensive about telling it. From what I could tell from ‘reverse-induction’ method or by tasting, the chicken’s marinade definitely had yogurt, hint of garlic-ginger, red chili, Garam Masala, with black pepper on the higher side and food color. When the chicken was roasted, lemon was squeezed over it and was garnished by chopped Green Coriander leaves.

My experience says that mostly all such eateries/eating-joints manage to prepare such ‘dry’ items pretty well but the gravy items act as the differentiator. I finally got to taste the Keema Chicken. I had high hopes with this but to my surprise it looked a bit yellow (most probably because of the extra usage of Turmeric powder). The taste was not as good as I had expected. It had too much of tomato and ginger in its gravy’s base and less of onion and garlic. The spices were mild in this one. The gravy was thick and the chicken used to prepare this dish was semi-roasted. I had this dish with Rumali Rotis, which they brought from somewhere else.

My final verdict would be that this place is worth going but only to have soups and dry items (appetizers). For main course (gravy) items, this place doesn’t have much to offer in terms of quality and taste. It’d be best to take-away your food or to get it delivered at your place (only if you live in Vikas Puri).

Cost for two (Approx.): Rs. 200-300 (for people with normal appetite), Rs. 400-500 (for people with larger appetite – like me :P )

Awesome chicken soup and kharora not got much to say about the rest of d food being served out their
