Customer Reviews
Overrated. The quality of food is not good. We have tried the seasonal dish Sarso da saag and Makai ka roti, both are less salted. Sarso da saag was good in taste but price is 300/- where you cannot get any AC or ambience or cleanliness. You have to mention the chai type like small, medium or large and plain tea or masala tea, otherwise they will provide masala large tea. ( if you ask only for tea). I have tried every type of tea but not actually dhaba style, its sugary and less milky. Lassi is good. In their Gajar ka halwa only gajar and sugar, no sign of milk. Another time we tried their Gobi ka paratha which was too good but you have to try it in winter and evening time. Aloo ka paratha was average. Paneer is also an average type. You cannot get different types of paratha in the morning, those are cooked in the evening. Dal makhni is the average type. Most of the items are too oily. My friend feels nausea after eating their foods so those who love oily and buttery items- this restaurant is for them. There is no such ambience in both non-AC and AC sections. The most pathetic condition in the case of the washroom. The only one washroom is there and it's unclean. Service is good, the waiters are polite, good in behavior and helpful.

If you are ready to take tea at 4 clock in the morning , or 2 am in the midnight you will always get the tea ready for you beside - Gurudwara - Elgin road - Harish Mukherjee Road , Bhawnipur, it's 24 hour service and you can order their foods which can be easily delivered by Zomato, swigy or any other service provider.
