Based off the recommendation of the previous reviewer, we decided to try out Guru da Dhaba for dinner last night.
Firstly, this place is not at all pretentious. It doesn't make any tall claims to be a restaurant or anything fancy. It provides a good old dhaba atmosphere bang in the middle of the Lokhandwala Market. The food is 100% home-cooked punjabi style.
They don't have any table menus. You gotta peer at the "wall menu". Along with the usual fare, it also contains off-beat and exotic stuff. Here is an example - Karela, Dahiwala Aloo, Lauki (Gourd), Gajar Matar. Now think about this, what restaurant or dhaba have you been to that serves Karela and Lauki?
The rotis are actually made from wheat flour, instead of the "maida" being used everywhere else.
Although the service is passable, the tasty food more than makes up for it. I guess this place has a cult like following. People just kept pouring in non-stop all the time that we were there (and we went there around 10ish).
Overall a highly recommended place and it is extremely light on the pocket. Just keep in mind that they don't serve any non-vegetarian food.
