Shivala

Bland and over-priced. Do not order punjabi or rahasthani dishes here! They do accept foreign visa though, including by tap. I came here for nostalgia, having eaten at this convenient to the station veg restaurant with two floors in 2016. I will not return. Enough of the finger bowls and air-con. Make authentic regional dishes, not bastardised dishes for Joe Average. Shivala is not a foodie destination, despite the price. 1. Bhindi Rajasthani (i.e. I expected dry) not enough bhindi. Too many other ingredients such as onions, for my taste. Delicious, just not dry enough and not enough bhindi for the singular pure taste of this slimey crunchy vegetable. 7/10 2. Missi roti (besan and atta) Nothing like what I get in Punjabi restaurants. No atta. Generic as if machine made. But browned the way I like it. Appeared to be Tandoori baked 3/10 3. Makai roti (corn) Looked and tasted exactly same as the 'missi roti'. Browned the way I like it. Appeared to be Tandoori baked 3/10 4. Dahi No 'kick' of sourness 5/10 5. Lime soda Perfect, hard to go wrong 10/10 Everything was rather bland. I asked for spices buy no chili. When I alerted manager immediately that the bread was not missi roti, he did not offer to replace it or in any way rectify the order. In fact, he doubled down that this was indeed missi roti. Perhaps there are a variety of ways of making missi roti. I do not like this version. This disappointment ruined the whole meal. INR537 w/ taxes. Zero tip.

Shivala is one of the old and well known restaurant opp CSTM station. In the morning you will get all the indian breakfast south indian dishes and in main course you should try Chole puri and Tava pulav they make it out of this world. The food quality,quantity is good, the restaurant's atmosphere is good.
