Apna Dhaaba Taste of Punjab Pure Veg — Restaurant in Bengaluru

I recently ordered an aloo paratha and a thali through Zomato, enticed by a 50% discount offer. The aloo paratha was listed at ₹155, and after the discount, it came down to ₹77.50. Similarly, the thali was priced at ₹458, and with the discount, it cost ₹229. Thinking it was a great deal, I placed the order.

The food arrived, and while the taste was good, curiosity led me to check the menu prices after eating. To my shock, I discovered that the actual prices were far lower—₹60 for the aloo paratha and around ₹200 for the thali.

I felt utterly deceived. It's disheartening to realize how inflated pricing misleads customers into believing they're getting a great discount. Zomato's lack of oversight in allowing such practices is equally frustrating. It’s a reminder of how pervasive dishonest practices have become, with businesses prioritizing profits over integrity. It’s a disappointing experience in a world where trust should matter.

Conversation over the phone call with one of the restaurant partner - He says they have to pay comission to Zomato, they have to pay to Zomato delivery executive and blah blah, this is an unethical practice lots of restaurant follow, I have seen some restaurants like meghana foods who sell at same price in restaurant and through aggregators...

From the moment I stepped into Apna Dabha, I knew I was in for a treat. This vegetarian haven, with its vibrant ambiance and warm hospitality, truly captures the essence of Punjabi cuisine.The menu, a delightful journey through the rich flavors of Punjab, left me spoilt for choice. I started with their signature 'Paneer Tikka', which was perfectly marinated and grilled to smoky perfection. The 'Dal Makhani' stood out for its creamy texture and authentic taste, each spoonful a testament to the chef's mastery over traditional spices. What sets Apna Dabha apart is their commitment to freshness and quality. Every dish tasted like it was made with the freshest ingredients, a rarity in today's restaurant scene. The 'Aloo Paratha', served with a dollop of homemade butter and tangy pickle, was a delightful experience, evoking the essence of Punjab's culinary heritage. The service was impeccable. The staff went out of their way to ensure a comfortable dining experience, suggesting dishes and explaining the nuances of each flavor.In conclusion, Apna Dabha isn't just a restaurant; it's a culinary experience that resonates with the soul of Punjabi cuisine. Whether you're a vegetarian or just someone who appreciates good food, this place is a must-visit. I'm already planning...

I ordered Thali , so will comment on that . The thali costing 155/- had small quantity of Chola , 2 tandoori roti and small quantity of rice with onion as compliment . I expected since it’s thali to have dal or other item for rice . Anyway that’s fine . Problem started when my chola got over with just 2 rotis and I didn’t have anything to go with rice , so asked for chola but got to know that I will have to order chola separately . This is quite surprising in case of thali , you first give small quantity of chola then ask to order more . I spoke with owner about it and he said since you are first one to complain , I don’t care . I am not sure if it is only me whose chola got over with just 2 rotis or anyone else also faced the issue . Food taste wise it’s not bad but at the same time neither too amazing that you would like to go again and again . Since I stay nearby I can go but not worth to...
