well the sasri-akaal is welcoming. and then you will enter a dungeon - well it is artistically made up (if this is 2000 BC)!
the family floor is the ground floor where me and my wife were guided to. Though i have a feeling that since we weren't quite hep (it was 10pm when we reached there and we were quite grumpy ourselves).
First the menu card - it was a wooden piece on which the menu was pasted. Well, since it was handed over many generations, it was quite dirty to make us wash our hands after ordering :)
The menu is small but neatly arranged into veg and non veg sections and really had all that you need for a good punjabi meal. We ordered shorba (there was sweetcorn and tomato soups as options - not the usual punjabi dal shorba) first and chilly paneer to go with as a starter.
The shorba /soup arrived in two big coffee mugs piping hot. My sweetcorn soup made me wonder if this is a soup or a loose broth. since it was a cup, the sweetcorn stuck to the bottom and the vinegar to the top. Though the taste was ok, dear, the shorba is not an option for vegans.
The chilly paneer never arrived as the waiter just forgot about it. We were moved directly into the main dish - The Gatta Curry. Well this was a delightful dish if it was given with some generosity more than that of a gurudwara. Barely enough for two (they charged over 100) it tasted almighty good wanting for more. The roti (tandoori and romali) were excellent too. The setting of the kitchen very near the tables made it exciting to look at and they took care that no heat reaches the interiors of the restaurant seating. The dessert - Rice Kheer is highly recommendable if you dont mind a tasty small quantity for 35.
I would go there if i want to eat lazzatdhar khana without minding the cramped cave space. But bigger groups might enjoy more as its food is fantastic! It costs 400 for a couple vegetarian and 500 for a NV meal for two. drinks are extra.

I went to this place with my family, sat on the first floor, what surprised me that they are a Punjabi place and the decor gave an impression that we were sitting in some rocky cave. Now where to we have those caves in Punjab.
The waiters were dressed in punjabi kurtas and lungis, they greet you in punjabi once you enter the place. The ambiance was okay, however the place didn't give a very good feeling , maybe it had something to do with the seating arrangement.
We ordered our standard vegetarian stuff, nothing extraordinary, the stuff that you can get anywhere else, without giving a second thought.
The prices were moderate, a meal for 4 without dessert and soft drinks was around Rs.600 and with drinks and dessrts around Rs.1000.
All in all, nothing special about it, but nothing bad about it either.
