Aashiana Restaurant — Restaurant in Himachal Pradesh

I have respect and admiration for punjabi people. I am a big fan of their food too.

With that in mind, we came to this restaurant. We got the seat immediately despite the crowd on mall road.

We wanted a light eat but not a snack. We ordered what seemed like a good choice in terms of our hunger.

Plain Khichidi for me and 2 Tandoori Naan for wife with a portion of Bhindi Masala to go with it.

Either way, the portion size was small or pricing too high.

The naan were baby size, smallest i have seen so far, and i am over 50 years of age. The khichidi came in a baby size Kadhai, i have shown in with their dinner plate to show the size comparison.

It was ridiculous and an insult to customers. It's a fraud in the least.

Makke di rotti was smothered in oil or ghee.. dripping as we picked it up.

As we ate, we had a clear view of their waste disposal and cutlery dumping area.

We saw them separating food and paper waste. Plates went into another basket and spoons, etc, into a smaller plastic container.

To our horror, we witnessed them just pick up the spoons container and drop the spoons on the table just to be wiped by cloth and to be used again..

I almost felt like puking, knowing i used one of the same spoons for my khichidi.

This setup requires a visit by the health department.. closed if it were up to me. Utter disregard for people's health. Even kids eat here, for gods sake, have some humanity.

I completely lost all respect for my Punjabi brothers today.. sorry, but you guys are no longer an honorable lot.

Food was decent only because i don't know how it was prepared and in...

Title: Disappointing Culinary Experience

I recently dined at AASHIANA RESTAURANT, MAAL ROAD, MANALI, and unfortunately, the overall food quality left much to be desired. The adjective "pathetic" accurately sums up the culinary experience.

Starting with the appetizers, they lacked the promised flavors and freshness, setting a disappointing tone for the entire meal. The main courses were equally subpar – the dishes were either overcooked or underseasoned, resulting in a bland and unappetizing taste. It seemed as though the chefs neglected the basics of proper seasoning and culinary finesse.

Moreover, the presentation was lackluster, with dishes appearing hastily assembled and lacking the visual appeal that one would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. The lack of attention to detail extended to the service, as the staff seemed indifferent and inattentive.

In addition to the taste and presentation issues, the portion sizes were surprisingly small, considering the prices on the menu. This further contributed to the sense of dissatisfaction throughout the dining experience.

Overall, my visit to [Restaurant Name] was a letdown. The culinary execution fell far below expectations, leaving me with a regrettable dining memory. I hope the restaurant addresses these issues to ensure a more satisfying experience for...
