Best food
Amazing food delhi feeling, must visit
The veg platter that we ordered was pretty above average in taste. It had lovely interiors and a great overall look. Loved the service speed and the team.
It’s a wonderful place to enjoy food, liked the overall experience. They tried to create village cum dhaba style in their interior with some modern day wall quotes.
We tried achari chaap and palak paneer ki seekh. Snacks were quite tasty. Plates used were old fashioned which was also adding to the theme.
Service was really good and staff was courteous.
Food is good but not so great. We liked the ambience. Service is also good
The best North-Indian cuisine imho! Enough said! You may have to ask them to dial down the butter on the rotis.. it’s that rich! The chaas is awesome and every dish on the menu will have you come back for more! The staff is super polite and we have become very well acquainted with them by now!
A lovely mix of flavours provided in their dishes especially in mains Daba chicken which were served in Dibba/Dabba/tiffin box along with lattcha paratha and also Balti Mutton served in tiny balti which very well went with tomato cheese Latccha paratha were absolutely delish and in case your a vegetarian then you can go for varieties of Paneer dishes. These two stand out for me in mains.Oh
I forget to add about starters we took nonveg platter which consist of tandoori chicken,galouti kebab,mutton seekh kebab,malai chicken tikka each n everything were so flavourfull with different taste of each dish were delicious.loved the seekh kebab.Good taste to their veg starter also which were Dahi ke kebab soft creamy well prepared everthing which were served were hot & relishing is a must try.Worth every penny.
Definitely a 5 star food quality. Very kind and humble staff. Really amazed with the service. Gets your taste buds going strong with such amazing flavours.Ambience had a little bit touch of Dhaba,which a nice quotes on the walls,really beautiful n amazing .Do visit. Thank you so much team. Well done. Great food.
Really liked the overall experience of the place. They tried to create old village cum dhaba style in their interior with some modern day wall quotes and murals.
We tried masala papad, malai broccoli, mix veg kulcha and raita. Everything tasted good. Cutlery used were old fashioned which was also adding to the theme.
Service was really good and staff was courteous.
One minor point which I didn’t like, bill was in decimal but while taking money through credit card they rounded up to a rupee.
I recently visited this restaurant and had a pretty good experience! The restaurant specializes in serving authentic North Indian cuisine, and I must say, they did not disappoint in that regard.
The masala laccha paratha was definitely the highlight of my meal. It was perfectly cooked and had a delicious blend of spices that really elevated the flavor. However, I did find the naan to be a bit on the soggy side, which was a slight disappointment.
Overall, I would say that my experience at this restaurant was fine. The food was definitely enjoyable and had that authentic North Indian taste. While the naan wasn't the best, the masala laccha paratha more than made up for it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for proper North Indian food.
Nice experience.
Had visited here for lunch.
The place fully gives Punjabi feel and proper Dhaba Vibe that though in a Mall.
The staff is very helpful, we were attended by Vikas who was very helpful and suggesting.
We had had a flavour full lunch with mouth watering and lip smacking experience.
The Ambience truly hive a positive vibes.
The masala soda was great.
Over all good experience

A must try
Craving for North Indian food, this is a place to be. Ambience, music and food takes you to a place in Amritsar or Delhi. We had veg platter, mutton keema, mandatory butter chicken and paneer lababdar. All the delicacies had original north indian taste. On the price side since located in the swankiest of mall in Pune, it has to be on the higher side. Prefer going on special occasions to cherish the taste and experience.
Dhaba - Brings back memories of those food stops on highways having their own appeal.
Walk into Dhaba estd 1986 and it gives you a familiar vibe! With the photos of the akhada to the truck depicting Horn ok please & the urns of aachar kept inside. The entire decor takes you back in time.
The important thing - FOOD!
For appetizers,
The pudina chicken or the mint chicken serves as a good appetizer to get things going, the pudina does not overpower the chicken and tastes good on its own.
Next, was the Amritsari Fish
Don't confuse Amritsari Fish with Fish pakoda, both are different. The important differences can be seen in the ingredients and recipe used for preparing them. This one had a flavorsome thin layer around the fish.
Punjabi Kadhai Jheenga
Of course, the jheenga/prawns are the stars of the dish. Although tossed in a blend of onion-tomato masala, the capsicum adds a unique flavor and adds color to the dish. This dish pairs well with Naan.
Bhatinda chicken curry
With this dish the chef means business. The authenticity of the dish isn't tampered with. Not overloaded with masalas, garnished with a tadka of coriander seeds which I might add, made the chicken taste delicious. I could finish an entire plate of jeera rice paired with this curry!
Mowgli ki pasand
Ever heard of Mangoes and bananas being friends? Here they come together perfectly in this drink. Give it a try and take your taste buds for a ride.
Lassi
How can a visit to a punjabi restaurant be complete without this amazing drink? It isn't too thick nor too thin and has the perfect in-between consistency. Chopped almonds on top make the perfect garnish. A must-have!
Had the veg buffet. The variety of starters is great and tasty and also the main courses were very delicious.
Nice to sit with good decoration.
At lunch time many customers.
Best in class butter chicken in Pune. This restaurant has reopened after a long time and pune peeps are going gaga about it. We had to wait for 30 mins for getting a table around lunch time.
Food was just amazing! Service was quite slow assuming due to high footfall due to long weekend.
Hard drinks not being served as of now. Hope this resumes soon too.
Overall this place is good for chicken and meat lovers, ambience, reachability.
A bit expensive though, but once you have food here, you'll definitely think to revisit again.
Nice ambience, quality food (a little bland), good service, ample table space and overall feel-good dining experience. Complimentary rice papads were welcome. Lassi was tasty.
Is it still Delhi or Pune? The first thought that comes to your mind the moment you enter Dhaba 1986. The lively , colourful and joyous ambience takes you on a completely different tour. The vibe of this place just screams fun and joy and you can be sure that you’re going to have a fantastic time here.
And I am glad to say , that this experience did live up to its first impression. Dhaba estd 1986 is back with a bang and has reopened its doors at Pavilion Mall.
So now let me quickly get on with the food that we tried here :
Meerut ki Shikanji & Virgin Anarkali - Sweet & Refreshing drinks , both great to enjoy with the foods that’s about to come next and perfect for summer.
Appetisers :
Kala Sha Kala Kukkad : very interestingly presented in a literal clothing iron shaped server. Super tender chicken, smoky masala and garnished with pomegranate and coriander.
Mutton Galouti : I could not get enough of this one. Soft, creamy texture and it literally melts in your mouth. Moreover it was so wonderfully spiced, that I could feel the flavours in each bite.
Tandoor Bhune Aloo : what an incredible interesting dish. Never knew something so simple can be so good. This dish gives you most of the chaat flavour with a smoky whiff of the tandoor .
Palak Paneer Seekh : Personally, I have never been a fan of vegetarian Seekh Kebabs, but this dish completely changed my view about it. First of all , i was fascinated by the concept of a Palak Paneer Kebab. And this fascinating turned into admiration for this delectable dish . Amazing on the taste buds, just care need to be taken , that it doesn’t get extremely dry.
Main course:
Balti Mutton : Starting this section with one of my favourites. Literally served in a cute little copper bucket, Balti Mutton is one of the best mutton dishes I have tried in a while. Thick gravy and perfectly cooked mutton , which is easy to pull off and chew , it’s a great dish to be had with rotis and naans.
Lahsooni Palak : This dish reminded me of Saag ( although not Saag). This green gravy dish is a delight for someone who loves garlic in their garnishing or enjoys its flavour. I completely loved the light bitterness of spinach teamed with garlic.
Kanastari Baingan Bharta : You either love a Baingan Bharta in the first bite or you just don’t. Well, since it’s made a place on the list here … you guessed it right , I loved this one . A traditional Bharta, served in a box, good quantity and mildly spiced.
Dal Dhaba : Although most gravies in the main course are good to go with rice, there is a different kind of magic in a rich, creamy, well cooked dal makhni with jeera rice. I served myself additional portions of this flavourful dal , because just one bowl was not going to leave me satisfied.
Dessert:
Dhaba ka Meetha : This dessert is proof of how rich , royal and soul satisfying a proper Delhi wala mithai can be. A blend of bread pudding, Gulab jamun, ice cream and custard - do I need to say more ! Royalty it is !
There is so much more to this never ending delectable food served at Dhaba estd. I could only mentioned some of the best here , but the experience here was amazing.
Located at Senapati Bapat road , in Pavillion mall Pune
Had seen this Eye catching place last year while visiting the mall , was closed though since Covid..
They have Recently re opened so planned a visit
Must say this is such a Bright , Colourful & an attractive place in the first look !
At the Entrance is a Dhaba style counter with machine ka Thanda pani written on it & handwritten slate
There a a few tables and trendy painted walls , there’s a wall with picture frames that attracts attention.
The colourful door leads to the interior where there are rows of tables with different varieties of chairs/ sofa which you can choose
On the Right side is the Bar ( there are fancy quotes written in Hindi )
Very tastefully done interiors
Copper vessels lined with steel are used that lends a rustic look
At the counter lot of copper vessels on display too
Movie posters & curios all around , very Impressive indeed

2. Kaka khatta : Served in a goti soda bottle , classic Kala khatta can never go wrong
Starters :

2. Palak paneer ki seekh : very innovative way of having Palak paneer in the form of seekh kebab !
3. Veg Galouti kebab: Could have never imagined a veg version of galouti kebabs, must try for vegetarians
4. Mutton galouti kebabs : Melt in mouth kebabs served over miniature rotis. Perfect flavour of all the spices
5. Highway Chicken tikka : Classic Chivken tikkas , very delicious and big pieces
6. Kala Sha kala kukkad: Served in a Charcoal Iron with Charcoal in it , steaming hot .These black chicken tikkas are worth a try for those who want something unique
7. NH9 Tandoori chicken: classic Tandoori chicken pieces perfectly grilled and served in bite sized pieces
Main Course:
1. Balti Meat : Mutton curry with the bone marrow piece , served in a bucket , super delicious
2. Butter chicken 1986 : Loved the perfect balance of flavours
3. Handi murgh : gravy with joints pieces served in an earthenware pot infusing it’s flavour.
4. Paneer Makhan masala : thick gravy loaded with paneer pieces , was too good
5. Kanastari Baingan bharta :unbridled that Baingan ka bharta can be so delicious! Served in a copper box Definitely recommend this
6. Lahsooni palak : Classic Sarso ka saag kinda flavours but made with Palak , thick and delicious
7. Dal Dhaba : Very delicious Dal Makhani
Rice & Rotis
1. Assorted Roti platter was very good and served in a unique platter
2. Jeera dhania Pulao : went well with the gravies
Dessert
1. Dhabe ka Meetha : A layered dessert consisting of vanilla ice cream , Rabri , gulab jamun , shahi tukda served in a cold earthenware pot . Highly recommended
2. Gulab Jamun : juicy and delicious
Was a Meal to remember !
Undoubtedly One of the Best places in town to experience Fine dining with Dhaba style food .
An absolute favourite 👍
( Portions of main course are big so order accordingly)
Since it’s in a mall .. Parking, Lift & escalator available
Nice cosy place with fast service. Veg food is good but non veg items require some more attention. Ambience is awesome
