Punjab ka swaad exclusively at Sainath




Sainath Amritsari Cholle kulcha, this place is more of a take-away than a dine-in place.  At first look, a roadside stall,with unhygienic surrounding and sugarcane stall in the next shop making it an abode of flies. Get near and the mesmarising smell will take you away with it to Amritsar. You have to see it, smell it, eat it, to believe it as to how a 4 cover eatery caters to dozens of patrons waiting in the comfort of their sedans. The father-son duo has been pulling off the entire show with great ease since 1978. The menu is very simple, Amritsari Kulchas and Chole served with sirke wale Pyaaz (Onions soaked in Vinegar), although these days it’s cucumber that has replaced the onions. Still it tastes great as an add-on 

I ordered a Paneer and Cheese variant and trust me; never have I have bit into one in less than 15 seconds after it came out of the tandoor (clay oven). It is finished with copious amounts of butter and a generous sprinkling of coriander powder. The coriander really helps to accentuate the taste and give the plain simple Kulcha another dimension. This feast of kulcha is the best brunch to have to when hungry.

A meal for 2 again will cost you less than Rs.150. A must try when you are that side of town.
