Thread: Best Places to eat in your City!!!

Hello friends,

This is my 100th post... So, I thought to start a thread about what I really live for... I hope men and women both will find it interesting...
And finally, I really hope it will serve as guide to anyone going to a new city...

This thread is going to describe about your favorite joints, restaurants, small hotels, big hotels basically any place in your city where you like to eat... U can also mention the reasons why you like that place... U can take following things in account...

Quality and taste of food, Service, Varieties Served, Specialty, Price in Menu-card, Ambiance, Hygiene, Crowd etc.

So guys who live to eat :18: , here is a chance for you to become a food critic :detective:...

P.S.- Please don't forget to mention name of city and rate this thread...

In Pune, the restaurant to visit is an Udipi restaurant called "Vaishali" on Fregusson College Road. If you are on a piligrimage to Pune, "Vaishali" is the diety.

The joint is famous for:

• delicious south indian cuisine.
• extremely friendly waiters - my sister has been away from Pune for nearly 15 years but whenever she visits me and we go to Vaishali the waiters remember her (and of course they know me as well as many others by name)
• atmosphere
• young crowd (from FC) and families alike swearing on this place

I might shift to b'lore pretty soon... My brother lives their too... I'll definitely try MTR... I love South Indian dishes in Veg. Category... Somebody give me more names please...

I usually buy MTR masala's for Sambhar or Rasam.

I do live in Delhi, but family come from Punjab so am i regular person who visits Punjab and in Jallandhar its got to be Havelli..............the food is just wow there, it tastes just like home made food, and its really tasty. If you do ever go Jallandhar do visit Havelli.

I know what waiters call you
I will update about delhi very soon

well about Delhi, i think street food is awesome..............moong dal ladoos from Bangla Sahib Gurdwara, gol guppas, ras malai from Aggarwals in Sagarpur and kebabs from SN Market...............yummy!

I go down to Murthal from Delhi whenever I get a chance at night to have food at one of the dhabas there..

The ones I like there are Gulshan Dhaba and Sukhdev Dhaba This is strictly after midnight and before dawn as its very easy to get there due to lack of traffic at that time

Other then that The Host at CP is my pet hang out for lunch ... excelent crowd and good service.

Once in a while I like to go to Maurya Sheraton near Dhaula kuan to their Bukhara resturant where the only thing I ever have is dal bukhara with naan

I also love food at Haveli at Jallandhar although after the owner has changed things have gone bad to worse but still its a good place to be at in the evenings even though it gets too crowded at times.

Chokhi dhani near Jaipur has some good Rajasthani food as well and I make it a point to go there when ever I go that route. In Jaipur there is a Rajputana palace sheraton where you can have dal bukhara and naan at their resturant called Peshaweri Love the atmosphere there and the service staff is excelent besides the hostess in their coffee shop which opens 24/7

I dont know if anyone here knows I have done a 3 years diploma in hotel management from IHM Gurdaspur although it was a sheer waste of time and I have never ever worked in the hotel industry.

I get bhallae papri from the aggarwals at Sagarpur and their rabri faluda is good aswell.

Ever tried Giani rabri faluda at Fateh puri in old delhi?

In Delhi I got lot many place where i go to eat at nite

First place which i like to eat before 12 nite is Al-bake in NFC which servers wonderful paneer sharwma and chicken sharwma too..

after 12 there are lot many other place to eat like Jain paranthae wala in shivaji stadium

after that IBM Dhabha in Gurgaon to eat maggie and paneer parantha's
all this when i m out with friends at nite
but if i go out with family then we go to Bangla sweet in Gole market
Galina in Gole market... i like dum aalo and dal makhanni there with butter aalo naan

Bengali Sweet's (bengali market) ka Raj Kachori is wonderful

Natthu Sweet in Laxmi Nagar for masala Dost and Moong dal halwaa :14:

and i not forget Roshan di kulfi from Karol Bagh :tongue_smilie:

In Pune there is another place called "Bombay Brasserie". They server unlimited kababs followed by Maa-ki-Dal/Chawal and a sweet dish for Rs. 350 (non-veg) or Rs 275 (veg), plus taxes.

One the road to NDA, there is a junction where NH4 bypass crosses the many roads from city. This point is on a hillock and is called Chandni Chowk (because it is away from city light glare the starry sky is visible). This point is a heaven for food junkies and many garden restaurants are located here. The famous ones are - The Oasis, Garden Court, Ambrosia, Up-and-Above, Viva Inn, Banjara Gardens, etc.

Viva Inn hotel and restaurant is owned by Chateau Indage winery group and serve very good wines.

Talk about unlimited food in Pune. I must mention buffet section of Le Meridien. Food is excellent, with all the varieties you can probably think of... There are around 50 kind of preparations from around the globe... I face hard time in choosing stuffs for my stomach... As I want to taste everything... Service, Ambiance are World-class, too good... No. 1 choice if an executive wanna go on a lunch with International clients... Indian crowd and families generally flock-in for dinner... They serve wine on Sundays... It costs Rs. 600 per plate...

Next, a theme park Chokhi-Dhani at Nagar Road is famous for its hospitality... They will make you feel like a King... Traditional Rajasthani food is the flavor there..

Rajdhani(Rajasthani food) at Adlabs, Kalyaninagar is another hot spot for persons with bigger appetite.

For persons new to Pune/Maharashtra, I would suggest not to miss delicious Maharashtrian Thali(Unlimited) at Cafe Shreyas located near Fergussan College at Apte Road... I would give 10/10 to customer service...

Finally, I would love to tell you 1 secret about this city... Its especially for new students joining any college at Pune... U can almost always find a couple of small Tapdis near your college serving unlimited Thalis with 2 sabjis, daal/razma, chapati, rice, salad... The price ranges from 30-50 bucks...

In Amritsar i dont know of any specific shop, but the Amritsari fish is very nice, the kulcha naan is very nice too and over all the food at Bharwan Da Dhaba is a very tasty.

And the one thing that you wont find anywhere else is the prashad from Harmandir Sahib..........yummy!

There used to be just one Bharawan da dhaba there and now there are two the second one is called The brothers The old one has better food and I make it a point to have atleast one meal there when ever I go to Amritsar
Ive been to the new one which is right next to the old one but didint like their food that much so I stick to the old bhrawan da dhaba now

Any one else been there?

Yes there is another restaurant by the name The Brothers, i think they are owned by the same people not too sure though and i think they also serve a different menu from each other........i haven't tried the food at The Brothers, so cant say what its like.

I forgot to name Kakke da Dhabha and National Restaurant of Connaught Place.
These places are rocking from a very long time in delhi, my dad use to go there to eat n drink sometimes
the place is still the same with good food, i like paneer tikka from these joints. I never had but people say you can get wonderful tandoori chicken here
(I never had coz i m veggie, pure veg )

I have heard that Karim's in Old Delhi is very good and its rated as being one of the best places for kebabs!

I would love to go there one day to try out their food.

this is the best time to go to old delhi...
if you go to karims in morning time you can get nahri over there and that is very tasty thing (as my dad and most of my friends say)
sometimes i go there with my friends to get it for my dad

@gardencityboy...I thought that MTR stood for Malvalli Tiffin rooms.We have a similar Hotel in Mysore called GTR Gayatri Tiffin Rooms..I usually eat there.
There is also another Hotel called as Mahesh Prasad which is good..apart from that U have many Brand Name places like Cafe Coffee day,Pai Vista,Regaalis,Metropole..etc

I suppose no one would know anything of these because i think no one here has visited mysore.
