Today, I read Review about Great Punjab Restaurant & Bar - Dadar - Bombay - Mumbai on Mouthshut.com – the Consumer Review Website.
I remember exiting the Mahalakshmi Temple along with my parents on a sultry Saturday evening dating back to my childhood and taking the cab to a heavily illuminated restaurant on Dr. Ambedkar Road called Great Punjab. The experience there was absolutely amazing, to put it in brief! The food was 10/10: the Malai Kofta was temptingly creamy, the naans had a smooth white buttery texture and the Pulao had just the right amount of spice. The ambiance was totally family-suited. In all, I felt like coming back to the place. But, I never got a chance to do so until recently on my Dad’s birthday.
Hoping that the restaurant wouldn’t have changed after so many years, we chose GP for our Dad’s birthday celebration (also because my sister had won discount vouchers at a quiz contest). We chose lunchtime for the party. Since the voucher was meant for two, we were told that the four of us would get a 50% discount. So, they were accommodating enough on that front.
I expected to see the grand restaurant that I had been to years before. But on entering what I saw was nothing but wear-and-tear that the eatery had encountered over the years. Somehow I felt that the place had shrunk in size; that it had become murkier and shadier, and looked like a bar more than a restaurant. Except for us and two men drinking beer, there was no patronage at all (though some customers came in later).
Serving time was approximately 7-8 minutes after placing the order.
RATING: 2/5
