Pind Balluchi

Had an amazingly good experience at PIND BALLUCHI yesterday. At first, I l9ve the decor of the place. Typically desi, had a beautiful tree, and very typical seating arrangements. The place was decked up with bangles all over and music was very punjabi in style. Coming on the food, I ordered for ourselves:

● DAHI KE KEBAB

- I am not a big fan of it though, but I really liked the dish. The stuffing was very creamy and crust totally crumble. Loved it textures. Have it with that very scrumptious chutney the serve!

● PANEER TIKKA

- Very moist and lusciously marrinated the paneer Tikka was. Realised the tandoori aroma of it. The smokey flavour of it gelled up with its strong indian flavours.

● TANDOORI CHICKEN TIKKA

- The tikka had nice achaari flavour marination. It was tandoored well and tasted superb. I really liked the tenderness of the chicken. Pair it up with their spicy mint chutney!

For the mains, from an array of dishes, I ordered:

● PANEER LABABDAR

- How can it go wrong anywhere? Especially at a place which serves the best Indian food? I loved the thick gravy of it. It had a delectable taste of Masala's and onions and tomatoes. Paneer pieces were also very moist and soft.

● MALAI KOFTA

- People generally don't relish this. But that's my personal favourite. The Malai Kofta had huge dumplings which had Paneer fillings and we're extremely soft. The gravy was rich and had cashew flavours.

I really loved the place. Staff was courteous and warm. Ambience was super hit. You must try the place, folks!

Pind Balluchi has always been a place where ambience and food give you a feel good factor.
However this particular centre although has amicable ambience bit fails miserably in the area of food.

After waiting for 44 mins post placing the starters order Chicken Gilafi Kebab that arrived was poorly cooked.
Afghani Murgh Tikka was still better in taste.
However the biggest disaster was Chicken Platter which sans the platter decoration (it came in snacks normal plate) with hardly 6 pieces.

Main course was still better with Chicken and Mutton dishes being better prepared. However, the signature Garlic naan had no garlic taste or garlic decoration, it was just normal naan yet crispier.

I was skeptical in giving the review but my colleagues who had vegetarian were apparently happy with the food and told me everything was good in taste.
Which made me realise may be Pind Balluchi is losing its potential of non vegetarian food items.

Anyways, to conclude I would say this particular outlet really needs to up its game in terms of food and interior's do need patch-ups at some places ( ac water was leaking near our table).
And yes forgot to mention Zomato Gold experience was seamless.
For now the rating stands at 2/5 solely due to vegetarian food..!!!
