This Popular FAMILY-RUN Neighbourhood Eatery, TREAT, Has Been Serving KEBABS & CURRIES For 27 Years!

#punjabifood #butterchicken #tandoorichicken
popular punjabi restaurant, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, indiranagar, bangalore, kebabs, curries, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, paneer tikka, machhi tikka, fish tikka, dal makhani, butter chicken, seekh kebab, baingan bartha, palak, paneer, mutton barra kebab, mutton rogan josh, rasmalai, moong dal halwa, gulab jamoon
The year was 1993. A Punjabi from Delhi with a young family, hotel management degree from the US and a stint with a leading hospitality chain, landed in Bengaluru on business. Taken in by the city’s salubrious weather, he set up a tiny 400 sq. ft. restaurant called Treat to serve up "Saddi Dilli" style Punjabi food. 27 years on, Treat has integrated well into Indiranagar, Bengaluru’s culinary landscape with a loyal following in the area and beyond. Its founder, Pramod Chaudhry is now joined by his son and daughter, as they look to take on the challenges brought on by the current pandemic. I visit them, and savour many of the hearty Punjabi kebabs and curries, vegetarian and non-vegetarian, that helped this neighbourhood eatery make it to many a Bangalorean’s speed-dial way before delivery apps appeared on the scene! Hope you enjoy this one, take care and stay safe.
Bharwan Tandoor Aloo
Potato stuffed with paneer and veggies, cooked in a tandoor and then sliced pinwheel style.
Rs. 240 (usd 3.2) for 6 pcs
6.5/10
Ajwaini Paneer Tikka
This paneer is soft and creamy, well marinated in the tikka masala and cooked in the tandoor with delicious charred edges. On the palate, it is the flavour of the ajwain, carom seed, that shines.
Rs. 255 (usd 3.4) for 6 pcs
8/10
Ajwaini Tandoori Machhi Tikka
The seer fish kebab is fresh and flakey to the touch, and despite being cooked in the searing heat of the tandoor, is moist and juicy. The seasoning has penetrated all the way in, making for a flavourful tikka till the very last bite.
Rs. 400 (usd 5.3) for 4 pcs
9/10
Tandoori Chicken
The chicken is spiced gently but with a depth of flavour that comes from the bird being marinated for a while. You can taste the pungent lilt of mustard oil straddling the warming spices.
Rs 240 (usd 3.2) for half portion, I tasted ¼ quarter portion.
9/10
Kali Mirch Tikka
The kali mirch tikka is what you get when a juicy malai kebab on its way to the tandoor is waylaid by an army of freshly crushed black pepper!
Rs. 275 (usd 3.7) for 6 pcs
7/10
Mutton Seekh Kebab
This is a textbook seekh, the mutton mince, granular in its texture with the right amount of fat, spicing and the warmth of ginger and green chillies. Rs. 350 (usd 4.7) for 8 pcs
8/10
Mutton Barra Kebab
The meat is cocooned in a translucent jacket of melting fat that imparts its deep flavours.
Rs. 380 (usd 5.1) for 4 pcs
9/10
Palak Paneer
The paneer is soft and the sort that melts in the mouth, the mild and gentle flavours of the velvety spinach saag make for the perfect partner to the creamy paneer.
Rs 270 (usd 3.6)
8/10
Baingan Bartha
I loved the deep smokiness of the eggplant in this homestyle Punjabi dish that’s nuanced in its flavours.
Rs 220 (usd 2.9)
9/10
Butter Chicken
A typical Delhi style butter chicken, you taste the ripe acidity of the tomatoes and depth of flavour from the spices roasted with the tomatoes to make the makhani sauce. The tandoori chicken is naped in the flavour of the gravy with the edge of kasoori methi and the richness of cream and butter.
Rs. 275 (usd 3.7) per portion, I tasted half a portion
8.5/10
Dal Makhani
Rs 250 (usd 3.3)
9/10
Mutton Rogan Josh
A spirited slow-cooked mutton preparation that ticks all the right boxes, in the intense fervour of the gravy, the savoury sweetness of the onions and the unctuous, slightly fatty flavour of the meat that still retains its bite.
Rs 340 (usd 4.5)
10/10
Assorted Bread Basket
Rs 230 (usd 3)
Gulab Jamoon
Rs 80 (usd 0.9) per piece
6/10
Rasmalai
Rs 90 (usd 1.2) for 2 pieces
8/10
Moong Dal Halwa
Rs 130 (usd 1.7)
8/10

This boutique restaurant brings back memories where our small family used to visit so frequently when our little boy was just 1year old then. Food is amazing. Kripal, iam surprised you did not have the Jal Jeera sherbet. Tandoori chicken is awesome and those vinegar laden small onions and achaar is malificent.

I started visiting this place since 1993. I landed in Bangalore in 1992 for a job and continued visiting this place Treat till date. Visited Treat as a bachelor, then along with my wife and later with my daughter and Son. Now they moved to 100 feet road, opposite MTR. We did visit this place as well. Amazing food. Panner tikka and Mutton Rogan Josh is a must eat.

Hello Kripal Man I am seeing this episode for the umpteenth time. Though I turned fishitarian 13 yrs ago I could recall every flavor u tasted just by your ecstatic expressions. Just one query... Why do u order all the dishes at one go. Cold food is no good, u yourself thought so when u savored the seekh kebab gone cold n the fat solidifying. Keep uploading your videos they are a work of art. I was drooling over the Mugabal (?) prasad dosa for which u drove 200 km to n fro... ☺️

[@abhaysrinivasan9666]

Hey Kripal , I used to order and eat at Treat restaurant on Indiranagar 80 feet road every weekend when I was staying in Diamond District from 2001 untill 2011 . Being a vegetarian then loved their mutter paneer , veg biryani , veg seekh kebab, paneer Tikka etc . Of course once in a while we got delivered some non veg instead of veg but 90% they were right.

[@fast1st]

You don't speak words but it's the poetry that flows in form of words . Such a command on language and what a presentation . Especially when there are plenty of vlogs on KZbin ,your presentation stands out and set the bar way too high .👍👍

Lovely, in depth, very knowledgeable review. Kudos to Mr Pramod for his passionate & unrelenting pursuit of quality over 27 years. Love the fact that his kids, having studied abroad, chose to come back to continue the traditions & standards set by this neighbourhood eatery; how many kids exposed to the glamour of the world would do that? Kripal is truly a food lover. Great episode. 👏

Wow! Such great memories of Treat. Our family has been perhaps one of their most loyal customers since inception in '93. Extended family from the US till date must have a meal here each time they visit India. You should have also tried their Tandoori Gobi & Methi chicken. That said in very recent years the quality of the Kalmi kababs has indeed dropped. All in all a great place to experience authentic punjabi cuisine 😋👌👏

[@bhopii]

Kripal deserves a lot more subscribers. People subscribe to Mark Weins or food ranger but forget that some one is trying to be local. Sir, your command over regional languages and acceptance of different culture is something which every Indian should be like. Hats off

Have you done this episode same day or in a single take. How can you eat soo much each time and still look fit..

[@TheRaadhikaa]

Oh man this place! So many memories eating here from school days. Sadly their quality in the past 5-6 years has become very inconsistent and getting more and more expensive for what is, now, just average food. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And, for as long as I can remember, the servers here were only polite to the families and regulars. School/ college kids were not given the time of day. Is Treat worth visiting for a good old nostalgia hit? Probably not. Don't expect anything to blow your socks off like in the "good old days". Are there other options in this part of town with better food at more competitive rates? Yes, definitely! Well worth your time & monies.
