A Flavorful Journey at Bhatinda Junction BTM- A Punjabi Delight!
Bhatinda Junction is an absolute gem of a Punjabi restaurant that has truly captured the essence of Punjabi cuisine. From the moment you step inside, you are welcomed by the warm and inviting ambiance, which sets the stage for an extraordinary dining experience. I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bhatinda Junction and was blown away by their delectable offerings.
To start our culinary adventure, we began with the Masala Papad. This simple yet delightful appetizer was a perfect teaser for what was to come. The crisp papad was generously sprinkled with spices and herbs, creating an explosion of flavors in every bite. It was the ideal way to kick off our meal.
Next up was the Paneer Tikka, a Punjabi classic. The succulent cubes of paneer were marinated to perfection and charred to smoky goodness. The blend of spices and the creamy texture made it an absolute standout.
For those seeking a taste of Indo-Chinese fusion, the Gobi Manchurian was a revelation. The crispy cauliflower florets coated in a tangy and spicy sauce were a delightful twist on a beloved dish.
Moving on to the mains, the Dal Makhni was a symphony of flavors. Creamy, rich, and with a perfect balance of spices, it was everything you'd expect from a classic Punjabi dish. Paired with fragrant jeera rice, it was a match made in heaven.
No trip to a Punjabi restaurant would be complete without trying the Sarso Ka Saag. Bhatinda Junction's version was impeccable. The robust mustard greens were cooked to perfection and served with a dollop of butter, elevating the dish to another level of deliciousness.
The Malai Kofta and Mushroom Do Pyaza were two more highlights of our meal. The Malai Kofta featured tender kofta balls swimming in a luscious, creamy gravy, while the Mushroom Do Pyaza was a delightful mix of mushrooms and onions cooked in a flavorful tomato-based sauce. Both were exquisite and left us craving for more.
To quench our thirst, we ordered a traditional Lassi, which was thick, refreshing, and just the right balance of sweet and tangy. It complemented our meal wonderfully.
For dessert, we indulged in the heavenly Gulab Jamun. These soft, syrup-soaked balls of sweetness were the perfect ending to our meal, leaving us in a state of bliss.
In conclusion, Bhatinda Junction is a haven for Punjabi cuisine enthusiasts. The authenticity and quality of their dishes are second to none, and their warm hospitality adds to the overall charm of the restaurant. The extensive menu ensures there's something for everyone. If you're looking for an unforgettable Punjabi dining experience, Bhatinda Junction is the place to be. My visit was a culinary journey that I'll cherish, and I can't wait to return for more of their mouthwatering dishes. Highly...

Food- Chicken Pakoda was amazing. Marinated well and deep fried with an explosion of flavours that excites the palate.
Chciken Tikka was remarkable. Perfectly grilled to melt in the mouth.
However the chilli chicken was average and can be improved.
Butter Chicken was incredible. Rich, Creamy with the right taste and texture. Another special mention for the vegetarian items that I absolutely relished is the dal makhani and sarson da saag. These are some of the favourites of everyone craving some desi khana. Highly recommended. Indian Breads expecially Makki di roti was outstanding. Soft, fresh and delicious with the extra ghee.
Biryani was Excellent having its own unique ste of preparation. Long aromatic rice in a fanatastic masala.
The sweet dishes was a delightful end to a splendid meal. Homemade Kheer topped with cashews and the quintessential Churi, a dessert made of roti and jaggery was a pleaure to indulge in. (8/10)

If there is anything that connects me to the word Bathinda that would be from the movie Jab we met. So Hearing the name Bathinda Junction – for sure had me know it would be some good Punjabi food.
A rooftop Dhaba set up in BTM. They have various other branches in Bangalore. I chose to visit BTM one.
Malai Soya chaap – a mildly spiced and yummy malai masala with soya chaap – a good alternative for meat for vegetarians. Preferable have it when it’s hot. Otherwise the soya chuncks get chewy.
Veg Bullet – a good vegetable starter fried and sauted with some sauces.
Chilly chicken – a nice spicy and yummy chicken starter.
Stuffed paneer tikka – paneer tikka stuffed with some spices to add more flavor in the paneer.
Tandoor Barwaan aloo – Aloo started stuffed with spiced masala and cooked in tandoor – this onewas crunchy I loved the taste.
Chose to have a basket of assorted rotis thar came with naan, makki roti, lachaparatha – all the rotis were soft and served hot and came in with a good amount of ghee/butter on it.
Sarso the saag – this was yummy – tasted good – but, could have been a bit creamier.
Dal makhni – the classic dish that had suttle creaminess and loved the flavours in it. A good punch of protein along with some kulchas and phulkas for lunch or dinner.
Paneer masala, Butter chicken, and Rara chicken were other dishes we had as an accompaniment for the basket of rotis.
There has to be something sweet to wrap up after lunch.
Teri Souhh Churi – a simple dish that is made of rotis, ghee and jaggery – humble dessert. Something similar to what is made at home. Liked the texture and flabour this one rendered.
Kheer – again a humble dessert made in our house holds using milk and broken rice – loved it because it was simple – not toooo sweet – just cooked well and came topped...
