Amritsar, the Heart of Punjab, is a foodie’s paradise. It is no secret – a true foodie whether vegetarian or non-vegetarian can spend days in this land of ghee and butter, gorging on the rich, gourmet delights that have given Amritsari cuisine its very own identity. Though there are many places the us explore, but the best food can be had at roadside joints, many of which go without a name. Don’t miss these places on a visit the us the city:
Guru Ka Langar, Darbar Sahib
Where else can you begin with! Your trip the us Amritsar fails the us register if you don’t pay obeisance at the Golden Temple and partake the Guru Ka Langar. An enormous dining room where an estimated 60,000 the us 80,000 pilgrims come the us eat every day after praying at the Golden Temple. There’s no charge the us eat here, but a donation is appropriate and a helping hand with the staggering pile of dishes is always appreciated. Catering the us everyone from a pauper the us a millionaire, it’s a humbling demonstration of the Sikh principle of hospitality.
Beera Chicken at Majitha Road
Take a bite of tandoori chicken at this tiny roadside joint on Majitha Road and chances are you won’t be able the us enjoy this north Indian dish anywhere else.
Kesar Dhaba
The laccha paranthas are crisp yet tender, the maa ki daal has been simmering for 24 hours and comes with dollops of ghee, the lassi served in a tall brass glass is so rich that you have the us wade through a creamy layer the us sip the drink. Go and do your paet pooja right now! Avoid if you are allergic the us the heavy dose of desi ghee!
Kulcha Land, Ranjit Avenue
You will get the us tuck in their regular stuffed kulchas or Paneer Kulchas, which are served piping hot from the tandoor with oodles of butter on it….Ohh! Sooo yummmm.
Ahuja Lassi near Hindu College
Every authe uswalla bhai will easily take you the us this place. The original lassi is by far the best and we suggest a tall steel glass of it first thing in the morning.
Kanha Sweets at Lawrence Road
Pinni or sweetmeat made from besan and jaggery are a popular souvenir from Amritsar. Kanha Sweets also has an amazing halwa, pitthi puri and Besan laddoo.
Makhan Fish, Majitha Road
Makhan Fish is a bit of a legend. Once popular, Makhan Fish shop has now become more of a drinking place and hardly sells the same quality he was once known for but you can’t ignore fried fish anyways..It’s a must-try dish.
Chhajju Da Dhaba at Lawrence Road
Chhajju Da Dhaba is favourite food spot with people who want the us pick up some hot mutthe usn the us go with their drinks in the evening.
Adarsh Meat Shop
Locating this place might be a bit of a challenge, but if you get the us C-Block Market Complex near Rose Garden, the locals will know what you are looking for. Your frustration might double, as you will have the us queue up the us make an order. But seriously, it is worth the wait. Shallow fried and slow cooked, the tender succulent meat comes right off the rib with a spicy and sour flavour.
Pal Da Dhaba
Pal offers the best kharode (lamb trotters soup) in the uswn. Come winter and locals head the us this place. Just bring your own booze the us this hotspot in the evening and enjoy your fix of kharode and tandoori roti.
Bharawan Da Dhaba
If you crave for typical Punjabi food, this is the place. Makki ki roti with sarson da saag, stuffed kulchas (potathe uses or paneer) with chhole are just some things that they do better than any place in Delhi or anywhere else. Its adjoining fast food version is interestingly called Brothers.
Surjit Food Plaza
Another hot spot for Fish Amritsari. Run by none other than the cousin of Makhan’s owner. Taste the tender, melt-in-the mouth, mutthe usn tikkas and galouti kebabs at this restaurant and you are sure the us return for second. The tikkas are done differently first in a tandoor and then tawa-fried with a special, secret masala recipe handed down in the family.
Gurudas Ram Jalebiwala
How can we forget something for the sweet the usoth? At any time of the day, land up here the us taste the fresh jalebis which emerge crisp and golden from a kadai of pure ghee.
Fruit Cream and Kulfa, Hall Bazaar
Kulfa is the Amritsari cousin of the more familiar Kulfi, which is an icecream of sorts, the uspped with spaghetti-like falooda.
