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!

Taste of home Made Punjabi food
I would certify Bobbys dhaba as a place for home made Punjabi food, like kaali daal, gobi, aaloo and mulli parantha..and finally the Lassi.
You can count on me, I am married to a Jath Sikh family and get spoiled by my Sasu-maa's pure Punjabi Khhana.
Those who complains about extra oil, ghee and butter, actually should stay away from Punjabi food. Punjabi food is incomplete without a generous dollop of butter in every preparation.
The food is so good, that you don't look for decor....

Cheap n Yummy
Great food, does not score great on ambience and hygiene. The service is jus average.
We had the paneer parathas and they rock. Watch out this place aint for those on a diet as all the dishes are served with a blob of butter which of course adds to the taste. Egg burji is yummy n a favourite for most here. The Lassi comes in huge glass and is also worth it,
Ther is huge q outside at most times and hence u feel rushed to finish up your meal
A sumptuous meal for two costs just between Rs 120- 160 and hence its dirt cheap.
A place worth trying especially at the end of the month when you are low on cash!

mouth watering Punjabi food
awesome place, with good punjabi food. don't go by the looks, i made that mistake once. its got really tasty food , without too much masala and no fuss.
its very popular though, so better get there early (lunch or dinner) you are sure to eat much more than your normal quantity!
