Went to 'Sarjaa' restaurant after a long time. It feels nice because the restaurant is very 'familiar'. At one point (8 to 10 years back), most of my office parties were at 'Sarjaa' because many people were from the Aundh area.
The restaurant is owned by the Mangeshkar family and was started in 1996.
Ever since that time, its built a good reputation for being a tradional family restaurant which dosen't dissappoint. I wont say that it's anything special but it gives generally good food.
Ordered a pint of 'Carlsberg' and the typical Punjabi dish "Sarsoon ka saag" with Missi roti. And it was nicely done. I enjoy Saag a lot whether it's Sarson (mustard leaves) or Plain palak(spinach) saag.
My 'date' had makkai(corn) rotis which are the norm with Sarsoon ka Saag.
So it was a 'quissential' Punjabi lunch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Makes up for a perfect day!
Ofcourse "Sarsoon ka saag" and "makki di Roti" is even more special on cold winter evenings when it's traditionally had.
This is what 'UpperCrust' magazine says
"The paddy fields are ready with Basmati rice and the mustard greens are in full bloom. It is the season for the state delicacy. Sarson Ka Saag and Makkai Di Roti. Mustard greens are cooked in earthen pots with spicy and hot green chillies, ginger and garlic, and this is had with corn rotis on which huge blobs of fresh butter are generously dabbed"
I will recommend this restaurant anyday when you feel like having a little bit of extra spices/a little bit of extra oil and some rich Punjabi food.
Did not have any dessert.
