Food Review | Made in Punjab

Punjabi food brings to mind the preparation which is well-cooked, spice enriched and loaded with cream and ghee. And when the restaurant is named as Made in Punjab, it raises the expectation higher. A Punjabi restaurant serving a semi cooked chicken and not good Paneer preparation is a crime. Paneer and chicken are always to be respected and well cooked.

At MIP, you can go for Ala carte as well as buffet. We opted for the buffet as want to try maximum number of preparations. The buffet in overall can be rated as 3/5. MIP failed badly at few of the dishes, one of them was paneer butter masala. The gravy was not well cooked, raw taste of onion and tomatoes was present and taste was not well developed. One of the chicken starters also faced the same issue. But yes the good part was that something was there for everybody. But it was something only and not anything great. Food was just average and not that I will crave for and visit again and again.

Ambience was another average. The name “Made in Punjab” just doesn’t go with the ambience and neither with the food. So the name is a complete mismatch, if named as ABC would also do for the place. The washrooms are bad, latches don’t work, might be a chance to develop your singing skills …J. Soap dispensers require a special chant to dispense soap, I was unaware of that so was not able to extract soap, and how I managed without soap should not be your matter of concern now…J.

The good part about MIP is that it is a huge place, very good seating capacity and serve buffet. The only time I can think of visiting MIP is for the corporate dining. No hassle to cater to taste buds of large group, as everyone will be able to find something or the other for themselves. But if the group is foodie then dare not, as it may bring you disappointment.
