#Food Blogger #Food Review : Bhale Bhale food and hospitality at BANGHRA - Punjabi Restaurant near Mayajaal ECR Road, Chennai

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.

Why ThyPulchritude?

I have been writing since my childhood., mostly small poems, articles for school magazines, the Hindu young world,  small writeups to Deccan Chronicle,  then essays and papers for seminars..., scripts for skits in college,

and then came ICE Times in my life, where I became a corporate inhouse magazine's writer cum editor and then it expanded to submitting articles to online forums, and found that the vivid interests lead me everywhere but no one place where I can preserve my own thoughts, my own beliefs and pour out my anger, aspirations, awakenings and inner urge. 

In this quest, came out my blog, the one you are reading now.  But slowly, this blog started getting listed into professional forums as a "good to read" blog and at one point, gave me a speed breaker to stop writing anything personal here, or sharing any of my pictures that meant "for me" for future, not for all, kind... for I got many a time teased by my friends as being a little damn open book in life!....

so I wanted a place where I can only put out the things I loved watching, seeing and preserving, ....but no writing..thats a real challenge for a writer like me, who would jus love to scribble out anything and everything that I feel, in words and prose and poem..... so thougth now need a placeholder to lock my pictures in a order of importance as the years go by...and there came in my blog http://www.thypulchritude.blogspot.com/  a home for my pictures, and otherwise lot more "Self" side..... within me lies a bug... a bug that is curious, love being busy, love being tired, love being in stress, love being in dreaming and what not!  Enough now! I guess!!! Stop dear, Stop!!! my hearts' crying now!
