Description: Established in 1959 by Trilok Singh Gandhi and his brothers, The Great Punjab is one of the oldest restaurants in Mumbai. Mr. T.S. Gandhi is a pioneer in the hospitality business and was on the executive committee of the Federation of Hotel and Resaturant (FHRI), member of National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) and the Maharashtra Association of Hotel and Restaurant.The restaurant has been boasting visits from the film fraternity and the political circles alike. Known for its succulent kebabs, 'pilli' dal and for its homely feel the restaurant was a popular destination for all.T.S. Gandhi's two sons have continued with the family business. The foremost Great Punjab in Dadar, managed by Manninder Singh Gandhi (the elder son), continues to serve some of the old delicacies but keeping with the times has added a host of dishes like the pepper chicken to its delectable menu.The younger of the brothers, Arvinder Singh Gandhi, has started another restaurant under the same name in Powai targeting the younger crowd working in the city's upcoming corporate hub.The baton will soon pass to Dhruveer, son of Manninder Singh Gandhi. Having successfully completed his Hospitality Management studies in Switzerland, he is pursuing his studies in the acclaimed International College of Hotel Management in Australia. Carrying forward the family legacy and his grandfather's wishes, Dhruveer wants to open additional outlets of the restaurant that keep up with the ever changing palates of the Mumbaikars!

I visited this restaurant with a group of friends last month and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing food on offer. I came across some dishes that I have never heard of such as the vegetable gol gappas and the bullet naan/roti. Not only were these dishes refreshingly new but very delicious too! I also recommend the chicken green chilli... More

Very good restaurant with wide variety of food choices. The food quality is great. Ambience can be better, however, good enough. The prices are a bit expensive. However, the service level was not so good. 15 minutes after giving order for a particular dish, we were told that it is not available and alternate choice needs to be made. Rest... More

this restaurant serve authentic Punjabi food. The starters & main course were awsome. In fact i can compare the quality of food at this restaurant with good Amritsari restaurants. Being a punjabi, i was really satisfied to got authentic Punjabi food in Mumbai. I will for sure come again when i will visit Mumbai.

But Great Punjab scores over others is in the main course which is better than others. we have tried various forms of paneer, baingan bhartha, sarson ka saag... More

Beware of getting lost inside this restaurant, especially returning from the loo after a peg or two. It's like a maze inside. Plenty of sections and rooms inside, though you'll never be able to figure this from the outside. Excellent service and the staff look like they've been there for a long time. The Sardarji owner (well, he looked like... More

From outside the place is quite unassuming, except for the Sardar at the door. Inside the place is divided into separate sections/rooms. Depending on the composition of your group you will get guided to different rooms. The first section is normally for families and mixed groups. The last room on the right is the bar and guys get guided towards... More

The Great Punjab Restaurant is by far one of the best places I have ever dined at. This is one great example of the saying "Never judge a book by its cover!!" in the middle of the hustle & bustle of one of Mumbai's busiest junctions you will find this royalty covered restaurant, you will never imagine to be there....

We went there as a family and this restaurant never disappoints!! We go there for the lassi, kababs and the dum biryanis and the quality is consistent, you know that it will be the same always. The ambience is great, never noisy and smoke filled unlike some famous restaurants. Always a place to enjoy with family.
