in search of rajinder's dhaba
After stopping over at Colonel's Kebab at Defense Colony, we headed over to Green Parl/Yousuf Sarai in search of Kamal Cinema, our ultimate goal being rajinder's dhaba. However, after a few miles of walking and asking around, we were a bit surprised to find the place -- but contrary to what we have heard, the place has transformed from a dhaba/shack to a more standard restaurant. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. The biriyani that we ordered was more a glorified fried rice, while the fried fish lacked some zest. On the positive side, the restaurant was comfortable and clean, the food was brought in without must fuss. May be we will give it one more try ... some curry and nan might be the highlight of the place? Last comment: the place have started to sell chinese food!

hi niloy sir,
actually afak the real Rajinder dhaba is the guys selling stuff at the outside takeaway counter. the restaurant(s) are new development with independent kitchens. Rajinder dhaba is much better than the restaurants... go at the counter which is at the back side (nearer to the liquor store) and try Butter Chicked with Butter Naan... or try Chicked Burra from the front counter (which is what you see when you enter from the CCD (or Barista; dont remeber correctly) side... you won't have place to sit... but the taste will be much different...
cheers
