Himalaya Pujabi Hotel — Restaurant in Mumbai

When your belly rules the mind so does Hardeep Punjab which initially kick-started as a small dhabba now became a restaurant serving authentic North Indian Cuisines one of the best in Mumbai. So they have two branches one is in Sion and the newly opened at Kurla. I happened to visit the new one which is at 15 mins drive from Kurla Stn. They also have menu offering Chinese cuisines as well and I’m sure it will be up to the mark. Given the price to pay for the cuisines it’s a total value for money as the quantity along with quality they provide surely will make you visit this place again and again.

Food: 1 Fish Amritsari Tikka – Firstly loved the presentation of the dish served in a plate having shape of a fish..brilliant thought I would say to make you actually feel you are having the whole fish. Initial impression looked as if they were paneer cubes but the aroma of them could be felt as it was kept on the table. Fish used here was the rawas fish and the cubes were soft and tender along with when it came to taste simply amazing. Dip them in the coriander chutney served along and you will forget whats happening around you.

2 Chicken Chaska Maska – Words are less over here to compliment this dish since it was something I never had in my entire life. Believe me right from the presentation to its taste everything was at par. I won’t think to compare it from any other dish. Served in an earthen clay pot covered with wheat flour. The moment our attendant started revealing it we could sense the richness of creamy layered chunks of boneless chicken. Pieces of chicken were marinated so well that the blend of both buttery cream sauce, herbs, garlic and chicken simply melts in your mouth. It’s worthy, damn tasty and highly recommended when you visit here. Definitely I will be ordering countless number of times whenever I visit Hardeep Punjab.

3 Chicken Lalpari – Good in proportion for two people complete it. Gravy was spicy and thick with a good amount of boneless chicken pieces. A must have if you crave for something spicy.

4 Chura Paratha – So we had this chura paratha along with chicken lalpari. Personally heard of a chura paratha before. Loved it from the usual paratha we have in our daily life. They were crispy and torned yet tasty.

5 Hardeep Punjab Special Biryani – My my my couldn’t get over the quantity of flavourful biryani served in a plate. I’m like this is so much how we are going to finish it. But the moment we started munching it taking our time to complete it and the end was like heavenly feeling. Long grain rice garnished with caramelized onion, grated cheese and how can we forget properly cooked marinated chicken pieces but it’s not the end here each and every chicken piece was stuffed with melted cheese. I’m still drooling over the cheesiness of the chicken….highly recommended to go for it.

6 Rabdi Gulab Jamun – After a grand dinner tummy calls for dessert. Texture of rabdi was excellent mixed with dry fruits like almonds, cashews etc. & Gulab Jamun floating inside it were a kick to my taste buds. Delicious, soothing and hot….Highly recommended to end with them before you leave.

Drinks:

1 Guava Cooler – Served chilled in a long glass. Witnessing the weather out here these days it was a good choice to opt for it. Refreshing and sweet in taste. 2 Blue Lagoon – This one is cocktail based drinks with the mix of blue curacao and vodka. It had the minty flavour which made it more refreshing.

Ambience – Décor is simple yet elegant with all the artefacts adorned on the walls. It is brightly lit. Much recommended for family lunch/ dinner or any special occasion. In the background you can hear Punjabi music to tap your feet..oye hoye!!!!

Service – Loved their hospitality towards the customers. Our attendant Mr. Gopal was a down to earth person. He made sure to serve us with the best dishes they had. Even the attendants around ensured that when Gopal is not around they took great care of what was missing on our table. Overall their service is seamless...
