Chandigarh Wale

The Got Weekend take

Why go

Chandigarh Wale gives you good reason to build a meal around the breads. Its house-specials section includes gobi, aloo pyaz and mutton kheema parathas, alongside Amritsari kulche with chana and sarson ka saag with two rotis. Start with aloo tikki chaat or dahi bhalle, or take the tandoori route with soya chaap. The menu gives vegetarian dishes substantial space rather than treating them as an afterthought. For a curry-centered meal, consider dal makhni, palak paneer, karara balti chicken or achari mutton, with lacha paratha or tawa roti alongside. Thalis come in vegetable, chicken, fish and mutton versions. Weekends bring a separate lineup that includes nutri kulcha, chicken kheema kulcha and chhole bhature; dessert options include jalebi, ras malai and gajar ka halwa. The casual dining room pairs that broad Punjabi menu with a warm atmosphere. The restaurant draws its identity from Chandigarh’s heritage, citing the city’s architecture, gardens and Sukhna Lake as inspirations. Vegetarian and nonvegetarian family platters, plus a kids’ section with grilled cheese and fries and chicken nuggets, give mixed groups several ways into the menu.
