A couple of items which we previously liked at Punjab Grill had been rotated out of the menu at some point. Those for some reasons have made their appearance again so we came back for them. And also to try other stuff that sounded like they might be good.
We were served amuse bouche today. This was spinach fritter with some sauce. Tasted like sweet tamarind.
Papadums looks different from the last time. Also the dips were one less fruit chutney today.
These were spicy.
One of the dishes we wanted to try was tandoori smoked pineapple tikka.
This was delicious. The chunks of pineapple were piping hot off the tandoor, spicy from the marinate and also citrusy sweet. 👍🏼
One of the dishes we came back for was their saag gosht. I've mentioned and compared this to others we've tried a number of times and this in my opinion is still i) the better version ii) on the top on our list. What differentiated Punjab Grill's rendition from the rest was the care in how the palak was made, the additional dimension to the spicing and those chunks of bone in lamb were so good. They charged a pretty penny for it though.
The other dish we wanted to try was their keema kaleji. Minced mutton/lamb with liver. Never had this before and I love it. The dish was like an Indian Bolognese/ragu with chunky diced lamb liver.
Chunky diced lamb liver I said.
Got ourselves some garlic naan for the keema and palak.
The other dish we came back for was their gucchi pulao - morel mushroom spiced rice. When we had these previously, they told us that the mushrooms were imported from Kashmir. Today, they were strangely described as 'rare kind of mushroom from the foothills of Himalayas'. Maybe that made them sound more exotic. 😅
Paan (betel leaf) kulfi for dessert. Came with dried Maraschino cherries and gulkand - a sweet rose petal preserve. Nice.
A shot of their creamy betel leaf drink at the end.
