Sher-E-Punjab Restaurant — Restaurant in Mumbai

The King Of Hearts

Sher-E-Punjab, a little gem carefully tucked in a lane close to Ballard Estate, is an age old restaurant that feels like a home away from home. It's hard to miss this restaurant as the doorkeeper is dressed in a manner that will remind you of the royal gatekeepers who served kings. On busy work days that seem exceptionally difficult, it's places like Sher-E-Punjab that make you feel better with its homely food and warm smiles.

The ambience is relaxing with timeless Hindi classics playing in the background, subtle lighting and genial servers who greet you with warmth and courtesy. If this wasn't enough, the staff offers a complimentary welcome drink of Jaljeera (Spiced Lemonade) to all the guests. The exemplar service by the staff is what makes this joint a cut above the rest.

As for my meal, I tried Palak Paneer and Pudina Paratha. The portion of Palak Paneer is just enough for two and is a heavy dish with big chunks of tender Paneer cooked in a thick spinach gravy. There wasn't a particular flavour that stood out and the dish was rather bland yet invoked a memory of home cooked food. Pudina Paratha was freshly prepared with butter dripping from all sides and Pudina powder generously smeared on top. It was soft, fluffy (yet crisp on the sides) and red-hot!

The combination of the two did not work well and maybe a better match would've tasted better. I'm yet to try their signature Dal Makhni.

Sher-E-Punjab is the perfect place to catch up with friends or family over a relaxed dinner. While the cost was on the higher side (my meal was around 400), I would highly recommend this restaurant for its calm ambience and amiable staff who ensure that every guest feels comfortable...

Established in 1938, Sher-e-Punjab claims to be the oldest Punjabi restaurant in Mumbai, serving authentic food and doing wonderfuly well. Been coming here since 1978.. this area opp GPO used to be a hub for Punjabi food as this trio- Sher-e-Punjab, Neelam and Kalpana would be filled with office goers rubbing shoulders and sharing tables with Taxi Drivers thronging these outlets for robust Punjabi meals... for a modest sum of about Rs 2/-, one cud get a plate of two Tandoori Rotis with either a Chana Masala /Rajma /Dal Fry! Over time, the other two downed shutters, but Shere Punjab still going strong 🙏🏼🌹 Just before the Pandemic we went for lunch. Chicken Razalla- tandoori boneless chicken wrapped in cheese- simply awesome, followed by Stuffed Amritsari Kulcha, Classic Tandoori Butter Roti along with Mutton Saagwala- all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Since day one, for the past 42 years, its been a tradition of completing our meal here with their simple but irresistable Jelly with Vanilla Icecream. This is one place we can visit again...

Food was not that good but prices are at there peak!! And the service is kind of partiality for indian and foreigners, as when i visit some foreigners tourist came to have food and they gave them tissue paper and table napkin but when i asked them for tissue they just told me we gave you table napkin, but force them and started arguing they gave me tissue. And very very bad habit of asking tip from everyone like beggars, you serve better customer feels good they will give you. No good behavior, no professionalism, no priority service but they want tip! Rather then giving them tip it way good to give tip to the guard standing and opening door while leaving and entering by greeting welcome/thankyou and he never ask for tip. Even that guy help someone to pickup there bags or helping senior citizen. Very noisy atmosphere and there is always news channel going on tv, there should be some slow tune music which give...
