With so many restaurants in Bangalore, we
can’t really enjoy the idea of lazy weekends and spending time at home. Some
restaurants have a special charm and
fantastic hospitality that you will love going back again. Recently I had lunch
at Punjab Grill and tried some of their classic and Signature series dishes.
Isn’t interesting to go to a fine-dining restaurant which has won the Times
Food Awards several times? Well, I was
really lucky to indulge in a pure blissful and foodgasmic
fine-dining experience.
Nestled in the corner of the road, Punjab Grill is located in Koramangala 7th
Block, diagonally opposite to Forum Mall. They
have a classy ambiance with separate lounge space and bar counter. Also, their
exclusive collection of wine on display is something which you won’t miss. We
were a small group of foodies and we enjoyed the food along with the music played
at Punjab Grill which was nostalgic ones – 90’s favorites.
Drinks
I started my lunch
with a cocktail, ‘Mirch Mumtaz’ which was a desi style cocktail with Vodka,
Orange juice, black salt and green chili seeds. I love spicy cocktails and the
ingenious combination of this drink was perfect one for me.
Appetizers
Chaat |
Paneer Tikka Multan |
Dahi Ke Kebab |
Murg Malai Tikka |
For lunch, we had
a curated menu with signature dishes. We started off with a bite-sized dahi papdi
chaat. Next, we had a series of delicious starters like the perfectly cooked crumb
fried Beetroot Peanut Tikki, a heavenly pot roasted and slowly braised-tandoor
grilled flavorful Lamp chops -‘Chaamp Taajdar’, melt-in-mouth ‘Dahi Ke Kebab’, juicy Murg Malai Tikka,
and ‘Paneer Tikka Multan’. Paneer Tikka
Multan was made of huge chunks of soft Paneer which was Tandoorified (cooked in
Tandoor) and had distinctive flavors.

Tandoori Pomfret |
The extremely delightful Tandoori Pomfret had smokey
flavors from Tandoor which transported us to a different world. Most of the starters were garnished with microgreens
which added an extra zing to this dishes.
Main Course
Makke di Roti |
Sarson da Saag |
Another favorite
combo was the Sarson da Saag, cooked in a traditional way with right ingredients
and served with Makke di Roti, white butter, and Jaggery, hot Garlic naan to
have with Murg lababdar and Raarhya meat, and the classic combo of jeera rice
with Punjab Grill’s special daal makhani. The flavors were catered in such a
way that anyone will fall in love with these dishes especially the tender meat
preparations like Raarhya and the creamy Murg Lababdar.

Desserts
Flambe Gulab jamuns |
Trio Gulab jamuns |
Kulfi Falooda |
Paan shot |
For desserts, we
had the Trio and flambe Gulab jamuns (with fillings like Pistachio, Nutella, white
chocolate, and honey & almonds) and Pistachio-almond flavored Kulfi falooda.
The desserts were visually appealing as well as extremely heavenly. Gulab
jamuns tasted so rich and delicious, but what I didn’t like was the size of the
jamuns. Often, at most of the places we end up craving for more Gulab jamuns,
but here at Punjab Grill you can feed an entire Pind (village) :P We finished
our lunch with a Paan shot which was refreshing.

Overall loved every moment
spent at this fine-dining restaurant with the great company of my foodie
friends. Thanks to my friends Abhinav Varma and Nitin Hajela for inviting me. Next time I'm gonna try their buffet lunch. A meal for two would be ₹1500/- (approximately). They also have valet parking. Do check out their Valentine's Day special offer (only for dinner).
