Ek dham jhakkas!!!
Great food, fast moving, etc. Only if you are in the mood to eat your heart out regardless of ambiance and service you should hit this place. A personal favorite of mine, surprised how one can stereotype a restaurant as dirty,dingy ,etc. just cause it doesnt stand for one's fancies. You need goo, food, great ambiance, please spend more friends and find another place ;)

chakde phatte!!
definitely food that leaves one a satisfied soul..went there on a saturday and early at that so it saves waiting time but it was already packed!!they say look for crowded places..it generally means the food is good..all very true..a humongous glass of buttermilk to quench ur thirst which will last all thro the meal i might add...piping hot and buttery parathas(mooli,methi,paneer,alu,onion) or plain phulkas with a platter or cucumber and onion..pickle and green chillies.an assortment of veg curries,typical punjabi fare..chole,alu,baingan,panner..and jeera rice for those with a slightly bigger appetite cos i doubt if there will be room left after the parathas.. a kheer done just right..what more can one ask for..
right from writing down ur orders and the wooden table n stool..its a cosy down to earth place in a city of extravagance..so do visit it and eat to ur hearts content and dont for a moment worry bout the bill..u can eat all u could wish for for 150/- Rs and leave a happy soul

Terrific!
So many good reviews, so many praises and so many finger licking goodies, helped me made up my mind, and I was bent upon trying this place for sure for the Sunday dinner. MY friend and I reached there at 7:45PM on the dot. Its adjacent to the Gurudwara and there’s no board to indicate its Bobby’s Dhaba. Looking at the crowd, I realized it cant be any other place and just barged in. found the menu on the wall with not too many varieties listed. They give you a small chit, where one has to write down the list of things one wishes to eat with their name. This is handed over to the person who takes the order. Looking at the menu, he asks us if we need curd along with it – “Saath mein dahi chaahiye Maharaj / Madam Ji”
After, I placed my order, I was told it would take a minimum of 1 hour!!!!! Though I had a strange expression on my face, my friend said, we’ll wait. He wanted to see if so many people come here, there has to be something very special about it and we need to check it out! During our wait, we noticed, its such a small place and they can accommodate maximum of 25 people. People just come there to enjoy the food. One can’t afford to sit and relax, enjoy the ambience (FYI - there’s no ambience)
We were finally called to occupy our seats by 9:15PM. A small table with wooden stools is what you would find there. I was too hungry and was just waiting for them to serve my food asap. A plate full of salad (cucumber and onion) was served. Then it was a big glass of butter milk. I placed the order assuming, they’d it would be Punjabi type lassi. But, it was the masala lassi by nandhini. Then, it was the turn of the kheer. This was made of rice and one of the yummiest I’ve ever had. Following this, we were served the main course – alu parantha, methi parantha, shahi paneer and alu gobi. The parantha was topped with a huge block of butter. Though I was shocked to see the amount of butter generously served, I realized after a few minutes, the paranthas would not have tasted so good without it. The shahi paneer, again with oodles of butter, is the best I’ve ever had. Ordered 2 more paranthas and lassi, we were completely full with satisfaction and glee in our eyes!
The best part is all this relishing experience cost us Rs.190 bucks!! The only drawback is the waiting time. Anybody, planning to go there, get there early to avoid waiting for a longer time!
I also happened to see a print out there which said, very soon they are coming up with another branch of theirs, opposite ulsoor lake near photo flash. This is definitely a good news all the foodies

Bobby Punjabi Dhaba - Life Is Beautiful!
Aaah! Now this is a place that actually serves authentic Punjabi fare here in Bangalore. Bobby Punjabi Dhaba is the place. I went there for lunch this afternoon with the family. As usual had to wait for around 20-25 mins to get a table. But the wait's worth it and to keep you occupied you can pick up a copy of the Mid-Day.
Now before I go any further, let me tell you this is not a fancy place (no expensive chinaware, snooty waiters etc). Also not a place for people who carry their calorie calculators with them while eating out. This place is a no-nonsense eat-and-go kind of a place. Quite dark and dingy. Nestled near the Gurudwara near Ulsoor lake, this place is a few steps away from the entrance of the Gurudwara. No name board proclaiming it's existence either. Just a square hole in the wall. What you are greeted with at the entrance is a piece of paper and a pen to list down what you'd like to eat. Then hand this over to the guy who manages the place, a Punjabi who takes his business seriously and ends every sentence of his with a "maharaaj" (parantho ke saath dahi loge maharaaj?). I asked him how long would it take for us to taste the food and he thunders "aadha ghanta". Not to incur his wrath lest he chose not to let us savour the food there, we solemnly await to be called by his highness. This is one of the very few places in Bangalore that can afford to lose out on impatient lunchers/diners.
To choose from is an array of paranthas (plain, alu, paneer, methi etc) and subzis like the usual makhni/yellow daal, rajma masala, palak paneer, shahi paneer etc. What we settled down with was an assorted batch of paranthas....paneer, methi,onion,alu and plain. These are served piping hot with a generous dollops of butter. At last we heard what was music to our ears, a table was ready. As said earlier the food is served piping hot and finger-licking-good. Did I say that this is not a fancy place? It certainly isn't. You got to sit on these age old rickety wooden stools and eat off steel plates and spoons (no chinaware...oh I already said that). No complaints though, it actually adds to the whole experience. Also the must have here is the buttermilk or "mattha" as they call it here. It comes in huge steel glasses typical of a Punjabi dhaba. They do not have a lot of rice dishes on their menu, but the paranthas are to die for. Dessert here is Kheer (rice and sweetened milk). A fitting finale for a feast. The service is quick and efficient. The food...excellent. Warning...a lunch here, definitely calls for a snooze once you get back home. Tried watching "Life is Beautiful" after getting back home, couldn't keep my eyes open after a while. For foodies out there, Bobby's dhaba is a must visit. Hmmm....Life is indeed beautiful!
