After a sumptuous meal in the afternoon - celebrating PONGAL Festival at home, we as a family wanted to drive down in the famous ECR road, visit a temple and then have dinner outside.
The crowds at ECR Chinmaya Mission Matsya Narayana temple, was too much and there was no parking possible anywhere near by. So we decided to drive further down to Sri Jaganatha Puri temple opposite to Mayajaal crossing the Reddikupam fish market (Ofcourse, we did buy the fish coming back home)...and then when it was time for dinner, our young adults were sure that we go to 'Bhangra'... especially after seeing the 4.9/5 rating in the Google ((google uncle never tells lies))
The restaurant was overflowing when we visited, and we had a waiting time of around 20 mins and then got a table for 8 of us. The menu card itself was tempting with so many options and authentic punjabi kanna...we went ahead ordering 3 big Thali's - 2 non veg and 1 veg, and the Thali can be shared by 2 or 3 people easily. The brocolli cream tandori starter was mouth-watering and finely cooked. The corn stuffed starter was equally good, and crispy outside and creamy and softer inside with right blend of spices. The papad and masala chutneys was equally good. Then came the Soups, salad, 3 starters, naan, roti, pulov rice and a whole bunch of gravies including Mutton, Chicken, Egg curries and with the kheer and traditional lassi. The veg side was equally appealing with aloo-mutter, rajma, finely made dal tadka, dal makhani and nice tomoto soup.
It was great meeting the owner Navtej bhai, who ensured every customer is attended aptly, he took time to come and speak to us if we would need anything else, suggesting us dishes and ensuring we had a good time. Finally we felt the experience truly enriching and definetly the restuarant is worth the raving ratings it is receiving. Honestly we could not finish everything we ordered, for the quantities were also higher than what we expected. No wasting of food, and the staff was courteous to ensure we get the food packed to take home on the extra orders we made.
If you are driving down in the ECR, stop by Bhangra and you would surely not be disappointed. For a rich spread of both veg and non-veg, your taste buds will be surely tickling long after you leave the place too. If you have a group of food lovers, I am sure this place provides the best dining experience. Bhale Bhale Bhangra!!! Punjabi's are known for their hospitality and love in serving food and you will surely experience this at Bhangra.
