Veg Gulati, Pandara Road

Gulati's is one of the most famous and long standing restaurant in Delhi. This is the original one located in Pandara road and everyday it's packed to my knowledge. Beware that waiting times can be really long and they don't take reservations per say. My uncle was here from the US and wanted to have some nice North Indian Veg food and this was the only place which came to our mind. We reached there pretty late at around 9:45pm and yet we had to wait for sometime , not too much , like 5-10 minutes for our table , that also on a Wednesday. The nonveg Gulati's had even more waiting and that's a much bigger restaurant aswell.

Personally I came here after ages and the restaurant has been renovated and is more modern yet has that classic vibe . I generally get it delivered to my place and so do many famous celebrities and VVIPs , though sometimes they even come to dine in , but mostly get it delivered .

We ordered some of the classics and it took around 10 minutes or so to get started. Food review is as follows -

1) Tandoori Pineapple - One of our favourites is this tandoori pineapple . 6 pieces of it were served in the portion . The pineapple was marinated with a wonderful decently hot and spicy masala which really complements the sweet flavour of the Pineapple. The pineapple was grilled/tandoored to perfection and was very juicy aswell. Rating it 5/5.

2) Daal Makhni - Gulati's Daal Makhni is one of the best in business and one of my favourites aswell. The daal is rich and creamy , very smokey and hits all the correct notes. We ordered different rotis with it and all were enjoyable with the Indian breads. The daal makhni also goes very well with the sirka pyaaz they serve on the side. Rating this 5/5.

3) Paneer Butter Masala - Cottage Cheese cubes aka Paneer cooked in a very rich tomato and onion based curry with loads of spices. The paneer is super soft and the portion comes with a generous amount of it. The gravy is thicker in nature and full of wonderful spices , which maybe a bit spicy for some but not much for me personally. The onions also add a nice crunch to the dish. Overall a great dish but Shahi Paneer is still my favourite and is more close to the Butter Chicken which Nonveg Gulati's is really famous for. Rating this 5/5.

Service is always great here and the servers do take care of every guest very well. Great experience and wonderful food. Yes prices are on a higher side but it justifies for the quality and quantity. We paid 3000 or a bit more for all this and the cold drinks and Indian breads and also packed some of the food for home as it's rich food .

A very good place for North Indian vegetarian food in this part of Delhi ! Though they are more famous for non veg ! This veg sibling is a good place for vegetarian people.
I tried Makke di roti & sarso saag, tamdoori pineapple, veg pulav.
Dishes are pricey compared to other fine dine restaurants but location justifies that. Service was quick and good. food I ordered was tasty and I liked it !

Don't understand the hype around it. The food is average. We ordered their special Maharaja Thali and palak paneer and missi roti combo. The only good thing was Dal makhani, everything else was average. Also had to wait almost an hour to get entry during the weekend
