Great compilation Aman, I will carry a copy of this when I visit Amritsar next.
Is there a Surjit Dhaba there, famous for Mutton Curry? I heard about it but could not visit.
Cheers, Ashish
Ashish 12 years back i would have said Surjit chicken/dhaba …. now its in Nehru shopping complex absolutely useless .
Ashish i went to Surjit Food plaza again today and found out lot of things have changed again , go ahead try it
and btw also found out that he is the original Makhan fish shop owner also .
Kya chun chun ke jagah likhi hai , Pehelwal’s Fish is better btw why did u not Mention Mutton Koftas , Mutton and Rice at Gulam bhai’s Place,Liberty Market , Dhol wala meat and Tandoori roti opp. Bus Stand , Telephone exchange ke paas wale mutton chomps , tikkas ? Yeh bhi likho ” oh ho Dr.Saab ne bheja hai Tuhade kolon paise nahi le sakde ” ..remember when that Mutton shop owner saw u r car and refused to take money from me
Novi Gulam Bhai does not make Mutton koftas and mutton now , he told me that the rates of mutton and commercial Gas have gone high and people who used to eat at his place find it difficult to afford , now he makes chicken curry 2)The original Dhol wala Gaini ji has sold his shop to some one as his shoe business is doing very good , he visits me every week for check up (so i know it) , yes IFF u can plz include the vendor(pehelwan da bhai) near Telephone exchange(katra Jaimal singh) near billa paneer bhurji wala he makes awesome Mutton chomps dry, mutton chomps with gravy , Mutton tikka , keema kaleji with Amritsari kulcha .
Aman u have done a good job by providing this information
