Punjab Grill: A Royal Feast in Sector 29 Gurugram Let’s be honest. Gurugram’s Sector 29 is many things — boisterous, loud, crowded with every conceivable cuisine and cocktail. But when you’re craving food with gravitas, with a sense of history and occasion, you don’t just walk into any buzzing eatery. You walk into Punjab Grill. Now, I’ve eaten at Punjab Grill before. Most of us who care about Indian food have. But there’s something about the Sector 29 outlet — situated right in the thick of all the action — that manages to rise above the din. It promises a journey, not just a meal. A slow, deliberate walk through the princely kitchens of the undivided Punjab — and yes, it delivers. What hits you first is the décor. For the Punjab Da Swag festival, they’ve gone all in. Dhols are propped up near the entryway, parandiyan (those colourful tassels Punjabi women wear in their hair) hang from corners, and there’s a soft hum of folk music in the air. Not in an overwhelming, theme-park way, but in the gentle rhythm of a culture proud of its roots. But let’s get to the food. Because if there’s one thing that transcends even the best of intentions, it’s a plate that speaks for itself. We began with Dahi Papdi Chaat — now a chaat is only as good as its balance. Too much tamarind, and you lose the curd. Too much crunch, and you miss the softness. But here, every component was in harmony. Flaky papdi cradling chilled, sweet curd, laced with mint and tamarind chutneys. A single bite, and your palate goes on a flavour rollercoaster — sweet, spicy, sour, crunchy, creamy. A cliché to say, but it really was a symphony in your mouth. Then came the Palak Patta Chaat. Now, I’ve seen my share of innovation for innovation’s sake — molecular gastronomy gone wrong, foam just for drama. But this? This was inventive and intentional. Crisp spinach leaves, light as air, topped with edamame, tomatoes, yoghurt foam, and crowned with corn chips and beetroot crisps. It was a medley of textures — fresh, crunchy, velvety — and yet, unmistakably rooted in Indian street food tradition. Punjab Grill doesn’t try to be fashionable. It doesn’t serve deconstructed this or smoked-that.
