For some reason, we find ourselves visiting Gurgaon quite frequently these days. Good for me anyway - gets me closer to many more restaurants, since we seem to be running out in NOIDA. This weekend was a particularly good one. Saturday saw us at the Latitude, Sunday afternoon at Baujee ka Dhaba and Sunday evening at the Delhi Gymkhana.
Baujee Ka Dhaba is another one of those overpriced, shoddily decorated and caveman serviced joints that package bad service and shabby interiors in a ‘rustic’ package. We came here with Mimi and Sarandeep - old friends who live in Gurgaon.
Having said that, the food was good.
Now, why didn’t I like the service? All was going well, apart from the shock at seeing the prices, and we were chatting away while enjoying our Chicken Lababdar (boneless chicken simmered in a mildly spiced, almond gravy), Dhaba Meat (chunks of mutton cooked in a spicy, chunky tomato gravy) and mixed Roti basket - when a stone plopped from somewhere in the ceiling on to my plate. It wasn’t a little speck, nor was it a large rock, however, it did make quite an impact on my metal plate.
Sarandeep, for some reason decided to report this and asked to please speak with the manager. Normally, the chap would have apologised and perhaps thrown in a desert or something and that would have been the end of it. This chap however, a Mr. Rishi Kumar, in the true spirit of the Association of Clueless Restaurant Managers, decided to fight it out. To quote him, “But this happens everywhere…”. We left it at that.
Anyhow, we found the food to be quite good. The Roti basket in particular was superb. They had rotis, naans, lachha paranthas, garlic naans, stuffed naans and what have you. If you’re in the vicinity, this basket is not to be missed. The other nice part is their sweet mango pickle - do try this too.
The prices were fairly high, with nothing below INR 300 and drinks like aam-panna at 100 bucks a pop. I felt the prices of the drinks were ridiculous. The food prices, considering their healthy portions, average out to quite a reasonable per-head figure. For example, we were 4 adults and three children and all of us were hard-pressed to finish the food on the table. Therefore a bill of 1000 + something was quite alright.

Unfortunately I haven't heard about this Dhaba before yesterday. Now I realize that it has other outlets as well. So it seems to be a famous restaurant.
Its located in a dead corner on 3rd floor of the mall, and I am sure doesn't get many walk-in customers. However even on a Thursday evening the place seemed decently crowded. The first impression was an overwhelming smell of lemon from the restaurant, not sure if it was added to give authenticity or what. It seemed that they have tried really hard to get the interior right, however I didn't find it much appealing.
The most amusing part was, that in a Punjabi themed restaurant you can just make out the waiters who were serving were South Indians. The service was not exceptional but just okay for the price range.
Oh....I am going on and on about other things, but have not yet mentioned food. We ordered a Dal and Kadhai Paneer. Quantity left a bit to desired, however the quality was amazing. I loved the Dal, whenever you go to a North Indian restaurant OR Dhaba, for them a good Dal means dollops of butter and cream. However here they had a particular flavor to the dal and was very different from what we are used to eat at normal Dhabas. Kadhai Paneer was okay, nothing extraordinary in taste but just the way it should be.
They had a drinks menu called "Desi Theka", on which they have Nimbu Soda, lassi and all. The average price seemed to be Rs.75 for the drinks. Dal was Rs.125 and Kadhai Paneer was Rs.175. Plain Chapati for Rs.15 each.
All in all, due to its price, it cannot be frequented as a routine Dhaba, however its good for occasional meal, especially the Dal.
