I have visited the Punjab Grill many times and as I am aware of Jiggs Kalra capabilites, I was very happy every time I viisted this palce.

Mr Kalra had frist introduced me to Tandoori Salmon and he really knows how to get such things made.

However as with all the restaurants except places like ITC restaurants, over a period of time the quality and servcie detoriates.
This is waht has exactly happened at this restaurant.(Although they have taken much short time to go bad as compared to other small restaurants)
I was in the Shopping mall on 29th July and I ordered some food to be packed. As I am very close to this palce in Navjiwan Vihar, we opened the packets of food within 15 min.
The food was not only bad but was smelling bad as well.I immediately called the restaurant and the lady simply said sorry.
Since the time we tried this latest ordered food ,I am unwell including my daughter.

I , much against my wsihes would never go to this restaurant again.
I have been there at least 15 times but not any more.
Vinod Arora
Mr Kalra should look for a solution to such problems

Hey Shantanu, Thanks for sharing your experience....

Hey Shantanu,

Thanks for sharing your experience. Even I have heard a lot about the Punjab Grill in Mumbai, although not been able to experience it yet.

Plan on going for dinner there sometime this week; will surely share my experience with you once I have been there.

PS - Love the photographs! :D

2010-01-18T18:48:50.657+05:30

yeah, Jiggs Kalra designed the menu at Kandahar. But sadly, The Oberoi group closed it down at their Delhi property, though not sure about the Bombay one.

Yes. I was talking about Kandahar.

And yes, Jiggs Kalra was behind The Great Kabab Factory at Radisson Delhi & Calcutta, Kandahar at Oberoi Delhi & Bombay and Aangan at Hyatt Delhi (actually, he was a food-consultant and designed the menu at these restaurants)

2010-01-14T16:33:13.252+05:30

A very good post. After Punjabi By Nature, Punjab Grill is the second best Punjabi restaurant in Delhi.

Shantanu-Da, have you tried Five Rivers in Calcutta serving delicate Punjabi and Kashmiri food (Jiggs Kalra is the food consultant of it).Its very good.

On your next visit to Calcutta, you must eat there- specially, Meat Beliram, Raan Hari Singh Nalwa, Aloobukhara Kofta and Seb Ka Halwa(dessert) in the Punjabi section.

@Mahesh, Harekrishnaji: Really? Didn't know about that.

@Harekrishnaji: Not sure if he consulted for the Oberoi. He has designed menus for many hotels in the past. I have seen him organize food festivals at the Leela Palace in Bangalore (in Jamavar).
