Now, before I say anything, you should know that its rare to find an authentic North Indian cuisine restaurant in Bangalore, add to that a typical Punjabi ambiance...well Oye Amritsar is one of them. The branch I'm referring to here is the one at Koramangala. The ambience is really good - they have an open air section as well, which is just perfect for a city like Bangalore. The restaurant serves a buffet too but we went in for a-la-carte.
I have recently taken a strong decision to control my diet, given the fact that I have just begun exercising and I have greed for food in my blood. So we decided to keep it small, simple and pure veg - 1 dal makhani and 1 Aloo ki sabzi with some Naan and Kulcha. Ofcourse, I didn't need to control THAT much, so we threw in an appetizer - Bhutta Pakodis (translate to Corn Cutlets). The portion seemed quite small (8 small pieces) given the price, though the taste was quite good. Seeing the qty, we had almost made up our minds to order something more for the main course when the waiters began to serve...and what a serving that was! Both dishes were sufficient for 4 people and we were only 2. The nice and hot Dal was absolutely delicious but the Aloo sabzi was quite a disappointment, as was the rock hard fake Kulcha.
I will surely make another visit for the non - veg spread (a day when I shall probably skip all other meals) so watch this thread for the next update. The place also offers Thalis which, Ive heard, are pretty sumptuous. A panwala sits on the ground floor giving you the perfect end to a lovely meal.
Definitely worth a visit with a gang of friends...prices are not abnormally high looking at the qty served with an average veg dish being about 150 bucks and music is not too loud either. The non - veg menu is definitely more elaborate. If you still don't want a big hole in you pockets, the restaurant allows you to order 'half plates' - typical dhaba style.
