Sector 28 – Here be Dhabas amongst Chandigarh’s auto market
Pal Dhaba: A real favorite that elicits at least a fortnightly pilgrimage. The Mutton is tender and possibly amongst the best in the country. The Baingan ka Bharta and Panner Tikka stand out amongst the vegetarian fare. The lassis are proper Punjab style with the spoon standing on its end thanks to the thickness. If you are ever in Chandigarh do not miss out on Pal. Exceptionally prompt service but do not expect the best of ambiance.
Deluxe Dhaba: A decent attempt at an upscale dhaba. The high spice levels are a welcome relief but the low service levels especially in the vicinity of Pal are a complete let down. No intention of revisiting.
Sector 35 – Foodie Central (kinda)
Burger Girl: What looks like a me too corny Americana outlet turns out be an interesting Indian twist on some classics. The Hangover Burger and the Shahi Patiala Pac are real crowd pleasers.
Nik's Bakers: The pastry and café specialist in Chandigarh. A must visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.
Pashtun: Afghan Heaven, the Biryani, Raan and Pathar Kebabs are the standouts at this serene and green establishment. A wild west bar exists downstairs but this author has not been in a state to roll down to the basement after the food induced coma that Pashtun inevitably delivers.
Giani’s: A scoop of Delhi in Chandigarh. Quality ice-that runs the range from Cookies and Cream (with Oreos) to Belgian Chocolate. The sundaes especially the signature Kuch Nahi are a real treat for this sweet toothed foodie.
