Gulati Restaurant, Pandara Road

Gulati’s at Pandara Road lives up to its reputation, though there’s still a little room to impress further. The food is good overall, but not mind-blowing. I tried the mutton platter, which was well-cooked and flavorful, and their signature butter chicken is rich, creamy, and comforting as expected. It paired nicely with the roomali roti and the mirch parantha, which added a nice kick. The ambience is a definite highlight tastefully done, lively, and full of good vibes, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal with family or friends. Service is decent, though the place gets quite busy. Pro tip: the waiting time can be long, especially during peak hours, so it’s best to book in advance.

Gulati has been a childhood favorite of mine. Every time I return to Delhi I try to squeeze in a meal here. We had the lunch buffet, 2 non veg and 1 veg. Everything on the menu was fabulous. Starters to mains to dessert. We were stuffed beyond words. The service was impeccable! Highly recommend this place.

I visited this place for the very first time. After waiting for 1 hour we finally get the seat. The mojito was tasty The mushroom do payaza was also very tasty. The vegetables in it has big big pieces so it was very crunchy to eat. The dahi k kebab was one of the mosisest kebab I ever had. It was very silky and tasty. The raita was thick and yummy We ordered mutton Biryani which was again the dum biryani and it was very yummy. The quantity of food was up to the mark and the food quality was good too.

We went to Gulati Restaurant, Pandara Road for Sunday dinner. Parking is quite difficult here, so I would strongly recommend reaching before 7 pm if you want to get a car park easily. We had to wait for almost 1 hour to get in, but the experience inside made up for it. The restaurant had beautiful Christmas vibes all around, which added to the overall charm. Despite being fully occupied, the service was top notch and the staff was attentive and well managed. We ordered butter chicken, mushroom soup, and garlic naan. The butter chicken was better than most places in Delhi, rich and flavorful. The mushroom soup and garlic naan were equally good and complemented the meal well. They also have a kids’ menu, which is a nice touch for families. The atmosphere is pleasant, and you’ll notice that many foreigners also visit, which speaks to the restaurant’s popularity. The location is also convenient as it’s near Bikaner House. Overall, a great dining experience with excellent food and service. Would definitely recommend visiting!

I just love Gulati’s food. Good food at not very high prices. Good option, if your are planning to eat outside with family. The staffs are cordial. The only issue is waiting in the queue, so go for advance booking, if going with elders or kids.

Not really worth the 2hrs wait for me but Dal Makhani was my favourite! Mutton seekh 7/10, spicy enough for my liking. Hara bhara kebab was 8/10. Mutton Gulati kebabs were better at Pindi’s & they serve it with roti (another restaurant across Gulati’s) Butter chicken was good but I’ve had better! For breads we ordered garlic naan and chilli naan and both breads were served hot and crispy and were delicious. Do try their masala coke! Staff was not very friendly but I get it they are super busy and probably tired.

Went to Gulati for lunch on a Sunday. The place was reasonably crowded at 1300. Did find a place though. Saw people waiting when I was leaving at 1430. The buffet was elaborate and had two types of soup, salads, dahi bhalle, mughlai including some Maas, sarson ka saag, butter chicken and such. The deserts were also elaborate, though didn't try them. The only crib was that the food was oily. The ambience was okay. Parking could be an issue, although available by the road side.
