PUNJABI/NORTH AND SOUTH INDIAN CUISINE - BOMBAY GARDENS RESTAURANT

 

OK DEEPAK IS A VERY NICE MAN AND THE ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM HE EMITS ON A SCALE OF 1 T0 10 MAY NOT MAKE IT HALFWAY BUT THE QUALITY AND TASTE OF THE FOOD THEY OFFER, TO ME, HITS A 9.5.

PUNJAB REGION IS THE AREA RIGHT ABOUT THE BORDERS OF PAKISTAN AND INDIA.WHICH INCLUDES THE PUNJAB PROVINCE IN PAKISTAN AND THE STATES OF PUNJAB, HARYANA, HIMACHAL PRADESH, CHANDIGARI AND DEHLI IN INDIA. PUNJAB IS PERSIAN IN ORIGIN, MEANING THE LAND OF 5 RIVERS REFERRING TO JHELUM, CHENAB, RAVI, SUTLEJ AND BEAS RIVERS. THE MAIN RELIGIONS OF THE PUNJAB REGION ARE ISLAM, SIKHISM AND HINDUISM. IT'S CULTURE IS ONE OF THE OLDEST IN THE WORLD.

ALL THAT HISTORY AND WEALTH OF CULTURE HAS HELPED EVOLVED PUNJABI CUISINE THAT IS BEING SERVED IN A SMALL UNASSUMING, ALL YOU CAN EAT,  BUFFET ( FOR LUNCH ONLY) AND EVENING A LA CARTE RESTAURANT RIGHT IN THE HEART OF SAN MATEO CALLED " BOMBAY GARDENS".

MY FAVES ARE: LEMON CHICKEN, LAMB CURRY AND THEIR CHICKEN MAHARAJAH AND THE HOMEMADE ICE CREAM, THE BEST.

MY USUAL PLATE, LEMON RICE, LAMD CURRY AND CHICKEN MAHARAJAH

MANGO CHUTNEY YUMMM

AS THERE ARE SEVERAL BOMBAY GARDEN IN THE BAY AREA, I ONLY  HAVE BEEN TO THE ONE IN SAN MATEO AND HAVE ENJOYED THEIR LUNCH BUFFET. FOR  APPROX $ 12.00 A PERSON TAX INCLUDED. THAT IS A DEFINITE STEAL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOR EATEN A LOT OF DELICIOUS, FLAVORFUL, EXOTIC FOOD THAN HERE. I AM TELLING YOU, THE BEST (I'M  VERY COMFORTABLE IN SAYING THAT)  INDIAN FOOD I HAVE EVER TASTED AND I HAVE BEEN IN  A FEW. I DON'T LIKE SOME PLACES  WHERE THE SPICE LITERALLY NUMBS YOUR  TASTE BUDS. AT BOMBAY GARDENS THE SPICINESS OF THEIR FOOD IS ADJUSTED TO THE AMERICAN PALLETE.  MILD ENOUGH FOR ONE TO SAVOR AND ACTUALLY RECOGNIZE WHATS IN A DISH. A MUST TRY. A YUMMM FOR ME.
