Experience authentic dhaba food right in the city at Rang De Basanti Dhaba

It was a Saturday afternoon and I was at Diamond Plaza mall looking for places to eat nearby after watching a nice movie. It was then that I came across Rang De Basanti Dhaba.

The first thing that caught my attention was a nice colourful truck standing right at the entrance giving you the perfect feel of a dhaba. Once we walked in, the interiors impressed us the most. bright yellow in colour, the walls had lovely posters of unforgettable ads and dialogues of yesteryears.

They have a wide variety of Indian food on offer - with a variety of kebabs to choose from. The huge spread of Punjabi Dhaba food was wonderful. 

Spoilt for choice, we settled for Chicken Reshmi Kabab and a Tawa Keema Kaleji(served with pao). My favourite Punjabi food is Tandoori chicken however, we decided to try something new this time :) A dhaba meal is incomplete without lassi. We couldn't miss out on that one !

The Tawa Keema Kalejii was something I tried for the first time. It is delicious. The keema was well cooked and had a tangy spicy feel to it which made it perfect ! The Chicken Reshmi Kabab was soft and juicy.

They serve you in stainless steel plates which has a rustic feel to it and gives you a dhaba look and feel.  Overall, the staff was friendly and co-operative. The waiting time was not too long. 

The price for a meal for 2 people would cost upto Rs.700.
