Dhaba Estd 1986 Delhi, Marathahalli — Restaurant in Bengaluru

We went to Dhaba Estd 1986 at Marathalli for Dinner with friends. The place is easily identifiable & right on the main road. It gives the feeling of the typical dhabas between Delhi Highways with a calm, relaxed approach with soothing flavors around you which makes you hungry. Especially with the fragrance of pure butter (white), makki ki roti & spices around.

We were game for it & tried various options till our stomach ache happened. We had Khade Masale Ka Paneer Tikka which was very soft, well marinated & gave a burst of flavors. Veg Galouti was quite soft too with quite a handful of galouti's though we found the base to be little tight but was told it is served as authentic as in Delhi highways.

There was tandoori bhuna aloo which was quite colorful & came with a mix of alot of chutneys, Hara Bhara Kabab & Veg Manchurian which was found to be equally good.

Dhabe di roti, Missi tandoori paratha & Amritsari kulcha assorted basket make our evening great with the combination of a classic vegetable combination like Kanastari Baigan Bharta, Dal Makhani & Amritsari Chole.

In the desserts, we relished the Tilla Kulfi which is very rare to find in Bangalore & Rasmalai which was fresh & quite yummy. Also, don't forget their 11 varieties of lassi & signature cocktail mix which is newly launched & gives you a roller coaster ride to places. In all, if you are in south & missing the north or you are from the south & need to get your hands dirty with stomach aching food, this is the place to be in. Highly...

The charm of eating at a Dhaba can never be compared or compromised with any other restaurants...this Charm is preserved and presented at THE DHABA-estd 1986 located at Marathahalli main road.

The ambience of a Dhaba maybe the year of 1995 and beyond is created to absolute perfection and rakes up your old memories.

The service is good,the Waiters cheerful and they also dance at regular intervals to the old Bollywood numbers...

The place has a well stocked bar with a cheerful bartender too...

(Detailed Review) Being a foodie this was in my checklist from long. Finally got fulfilled. I had ordered multiple times but wanted to visit and have the experience.

Ambience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ambience wise it's really good. Typical dhaba style ambience. They have focused on tiny details. Be it the texts on the wall, the plates, the glasses, red and blue combination colour combinations, movie poster near the washroom, "jands" on mens washroom, the wodden door, the ceiling, old Fanta bottles the presentation of food and many more things constitute for a true dhaba experience. I can say well thought through.

Food: ⭐⭐⭐✨ Than the food the best part is the presentation. There are some items which are presented in a funny way and is actually good. We ordered "Balti Meat" which is a mutton main course. Club this with rumali roti and definitely it's lip smacking. The mutton is cooked perfectly. So well that it melts in your mouth. "Mutton taka tak" is a dry starter and it is enriched by the falvour of tomato and feels really good. Of all the best thing I Loved was the "Dhabe ka meeta" - A desert with vanilla ice cream at the base, above which is the rabdi, above which is a gulab jamun a perfect combination.

Overall:⭐⭐⭐✨ ➕serving time ➕friendly staff ➕great ambience ❎Price to portion size ( Basically Expensive) ❎Washroom...
