I have heard a lot about The Punjabi Rasoi, located on the 24 Ground Floor of R K Terminus on Bellary Road in Gangenahalli, Dena Bank Colony, Ganganagar, Bengaluru, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered food from them online, hoping to enjoy authentic and delicious Punjabi cuisine. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a significant mistake, leaving me feeling as though I wasted a considerable amount of money.
The plain phulka and plain chapati, charged at 28 INR each, were disappointingly small and did not justify the price at all. To make matters worse, there was an unpleasant smell coming from the phulka, which truly turned me off. The bhindi masala, priced at 285 INR, came in a half-filled box and was overly greasy with no flavor. I found it unpalatable and was left wondering how the portion sizes were determined, as there was no clear indication of grams or milliliters.
Next was the paneer do pyaaza, which was bland and charged at 375 INR. It felt like a complete waste of money; all they offered was sautéed paneer and onions in a mere tomato purée. The dish lacked any sort of seasoning, salt, or masala, leaving me utterly disappointed with the taste. This experience made me question my love for Punjabi food.
The Punjabi lassi, priced at 135 INR for a small plastic bottle, had an off-putting medicinal smell and far too much artificial flavor. It was an experience that made me regret ordering it, especially during the rainy season when I hoped to enjoy something comforting. The one item that was somewhat acceptable was the veg pulao, charged at 250 INR, although even its flavor fell below moderate, and it was served without any raita. Instead, I received some onions and green chutney with all the dishes, which was weird and stupid in combination for the dishes.
To top off my disappointing experience, I was charged an additional 100 rupees for three small plastic containers, and the overall packaging was subpar and unappealing. Both the paneer do pyaaza and bhindi masala leaked, making the experience even less pleasant. Given all that went wrong, I can confidently say that I will not be returning to The Punjabi Rasoi or ordering from them again.
Thanks for making me hate Punjabi food for my entire life. I used to be excited about trying different cuisines, but after that experience, every aroma and flavor reminds me of the disappointment I felt. It’s difficult to enjoy what should be vibrant and delicious food when those memories linger. Now, when I see Punjabi dishes, rather than feeling curiosity or hunger, I feel a sense of dread. I wish I could have appreciated the rich spices and unique combinations, but it seems those moments have been overshadowed by the negative feelings that arose from...
Read moreI recently visited The Punjabi Rasoi, and while the experience was overall satisfying, it’s definitely on the pricier side. The restaurant exudes a lively and authentic Punjabi atmosphere, with vibrant decor that immediately sets the tone for a great dining experience. The service was commendable—staff were friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure that we had a pleasant time.
The food was undoubtedly delicious, with rich, bold flavors that stayed true to traditional Punjabi cuisine. Each dish was meticulously prepared, from the tender tandoori meats to the perfectly spiced curries. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the portions were generous, though the prices reflected the upscale nature of the restaurant.
I also tried their lassi, which was thick, creamy, and refreshingly authentic. However, like the rest of the menu, it was quite expensive for what it was. While the lassi was undoubtedly tasty, it felt a bit overpriced for a simple beverage.
The Punjabi Rasoi is an excellent choice if you're looking for a high-quality, authentic Punjabi meal, but be prepared to pay a premium for the experience. It’s ideal for special occasions or when you're in the mood to splurge on some truly...
