Why Us

Why Pune Keeps Coming Back

Three things make us different. Three things we'll never change.

🏗️

Open Since 2003

Over 20 years of feeding Pune. Started with one tandoor and a dream. Now we're a Shivajinagar institution — same spot, same family, same fire.

Original Amritsari Recipes

Our recipes came in a trunk from Amritsar. Biji's dal makhani. Papaji's tandoori masala. We didn't learn this from YouTube — it's in the bloodline.

🧈

No Cutting Corners on Ghee

You'll see the ghee floating. That's not a mistake — that's the point. Real makkhan, real malai, real Punjabi portions. Your diet can wait.

"The Dal Makhani here is genuinely the best I've had outside Punjab. It's creamy, rich, and you can taste the 24-hour cook time. The portions are massive — I ordered one dal and two rotis and couldn't finish. Absolutely worth the trip to Shivajinagar."

"My go-to comfort food spot. The Butter Chicken is insanely good — not the watery orange nonsense you get elsewhere. This is thick, smoky, with actual tandoor flavour. And their garlic naan is soft as a pillow. College days staple. 💯"

"Took my family here on a Sunday and everyone loved it. Kids demolished the Pindi Chole with lachha paratha. The Lassi is thick like a milkshake — fantastic. Only complaint: the wait on weekends can be 20-30 mins. But honestly? Worth it."

"Late night after work and this place was still buzzing at 10:30 PM. Had the Rajma Chawal — ₹150 for a full plate of soul food. The chaas they give free with the thali is the cherry on top. Proper dhaba energy in the middle of Pune. Love it."
