Tried their 'Pav Bhaji' and 'Sweet Lassi' for brekfast today and must say I was very very dissapointed. Please read details below.
1 - The Bhaji was very plain, almost tasteless. Had to add chopped onion and lime juice to get someeee taste out of it. 2 - The Pavs were super dry as if they were thrown on the tava without applying any butter or even oil for that matter. 3 - The Sweet Lassi was not even close to sweet. I would understand if it was less sweeter than normal or even had a little hint of sweet but nope. This Lassi was tangy like it was made out of super khatti dahi. 4 - To top it all the portions are small for what they are priced at. I would happily pay whatever the price may be if its worth it. But not this place. Food here is unreasonably overpriced.
Also, I'm from Delhi and have grown up eating all kinds street food from everywhere. So please dont tell me this is how pav bhaji is!! Mind it, I'm not comparing their food with the food and taste we get back home because that wont be right. But food here is not even worth by the Canadian Indian standards. So if you dont wanna waste your money than avoid this place, atleast their 'Pav Bhaji' and 'Sweet...
Read moreBUYER BEWARE - This was my first time experience with Royal Paan - I ordered a take out. Had bad experience with both my orders
(1) I ordered a vada pao - The app will force you to select cheese in vada pao even though it is optional. The app will not add vada pao to the cart unless you select cheese. So I thought, that is fine. I will pay $1 more and then add an instruction to not put cheese. Surprise surprise - I still ended up getting a small piece of cheese in my vada pao. First of all - which person in sane mind puts cheddar cheese in vada pao - it is disgusting. Amul cheese may be suitable for Indian cuisine, but Canadian cheese do not gel well with Indian cuisine
Second - the pao were shallow-fried and greasy. Normally, the pao is supposed to be dry. Quite a disappointment compared to vada pao sold on streets of Bombay.
(2) I ordered a dahi poori kachori - What I was expecting were kachoris sprinkled with sev and chutney and dahi. What I ended up getting was pooris sutffed with very tiny amount of what it felt like potato + peas + onion mixture. There were no kachoris to be found.
In nutshell - a very disappointing first experience. Will never...
Read moreRoyal Paan – 100% Pure Vegetarian Indian Restaurant. This is not a fine dining restaurant, more of a takeaway and eat on table with self-service. Overall, 4 stars for food, taste, and service (please do not compare the rating with 5 stars fine dine). It is a casual eating place and good for a quick bite. My recommendations are stuffed kulcha (you will love this), falooda, papri chaat. I would like to elaborate more on Stuffed Kulcha. It will give you the taste and feel of Punjab. It is served in the same manner as it is served in Punjab on the streets. Though their Kulcha (Bun) is white and different. In Punjab chole/matar are stuffed in burger bun, this one is different. So far, I was only able to visit them once, I have seen quite a few negative reviews with 1 star rating. I am not sure why these people were disappointed; they might have their own reason. As I mentioned this is a casual dining place, so please do not set your hopes high for seating, service, and ambience. Also, they might have an off day, people have mentioned food to be without salt, Aloo Tikki burnt, etc., these mistakes are rare, and no restaurant owner or staff is doing it...
