such as Shanti Sagar, Sukh Sagar, and, in electronic city, Maaji Sagar, it speak s
very highly of the freshness of the food and the cleanliness of the surroundings
of the food as well.)
The taste of the food is authentic Punjabi. This is not declared anywhere in the
menu or on any shop board (as there isn’t any). It is left to the customer to
experience first-hand.
Although the food is simple in presentation it is far from unattractive due to the
quality control done in the kitchen. Bobby’s mother or, at times, his grand-
mother takes care of that. One of them is always there to tell the cooks whether
they are working correctly or making a mistake.
