"Storm-free Bude, the (big) children all out of the house. It is not worth throwing the kitchen in the evening, instead we feel the pleasure to go out. In short, a friend of my wife is asked if she would like to, and since her daughter is also working, we have a date to third. Since we didn’t want to go too far, after many years we decided to return to Radeberg to the Indian restaurant “Panjabi”. So quickly grabbed the phone, and for the evening reserved a table for three people. The boss was on the phone, the confirmation for the evening was perfect. restaurant Panjabi So in the evening our girlfriend was picked up and we drove to the neighboring Radeberg. The mobile base will be released directly in front of the local on a small footprint. The “Panjabi” is a small restaurant on the outskirts of the city centre, and the owner Makhan Singh is now running this restaurant for over 20 years. The host is well known beyond the city boundaries of Radeberg, but it stands at almost every major city festival with its own sales stand and offers its Indian specialities as well as cocktails. He also supervises various outdoor swimming pools in the near and further surroundings. He was also known when last year he attempted to take over 1 million euros the “Hüttermühle” a well-known and popular destination on the edge of Radeberg. The Radeberger City Council, in the end, denied this approach, and so it airs its Groll by hanging various newspaper sections over this approach in the restaurant. In my opinion, he should have taken the money into his hands, and could bring the existing place to the forefront. The ambience, the colors, the furniture, everything radiates the charm of over 20 years ago, and urgently needs renewal. The guest room with just under 25 seats is also almost too small. It is not easy to say a guest room, because around the huge bar, the tables are arranged along the window front of the building. Only in the shy side room there are a few extra tables. On the wide basket chairs you sit comfortably, to stand up and back at the table but are very unhandy and heavy. For a short time, Mr. Singh has also expanded his portfolio and has converted part of his large bar to the Dönergrill and sales stand. This is annoying to the extent that all “furt-long” new customers enter the shop, and is therefore always a pity. The waiting customers, who then wait in the restaurant and look at the dishes, are also unsightly. That's too much business sense. We were in the restaurant on time at 7 p.m. as agreed by phone. At the door we were received by the boss, and he immediately suggested that everything was full. I told him that I would have reserved what he didn't know. Luckily, his wife had listened to the conversation in the morning, and therefore first got a proper snare. Now he tried to organize a table in a great way for us, and finally asked to pay a family who was ready to eat and had only drinks. These came to the request, and after just 10 minutes waiting we had our ordered table. But our predecessors did not only seem to have happened a misfortune with their food, so the table looked out. Cheffe once washed wet over decks and tablecloth, that should have been it? Our reluctant views led him to change the tablecloth. Maybe he should also banish those bamboo spots from the place. Without words The typical rich menu we now finally held in our hands, so we could order the drinks first. For us it should be: · 1x 0.5ér Radeberger Pilsner for 3,50 € · 1x Cocktail Mango Colada for 6,00 € · 1x Cocktail Strawberry Colada for 6,00 € While the drinks were mixed for us by the boss at the bar, we had enough time to browse the menu, for just a quarter of an hour they needed for our three drinks. The Radeberger Pils, here in the immediate sight of the local brewery duty, was then at least freshly tapped. But the good woman understands something about cocktails. The Mango Colada, with brown and white rum, coconut syrup, cream and mango juice was creamy and delicious. The strawberry Colada, where only strawberry syrup and strawberry juice were added instead of mango juice, was also really good. Radeberger Pilsner Cocktail Mango Colada Cocktail Strawberry Colada So after the drinks were in place, we could order our desired dishes. So we wish as an appetizer: · 1x Mix Pakora with fried cauliflower, potatoes, chickens and homemade cheese for 3 people, which was ultimately calculated with 5,00 € As main dishes we wished: · 1x lamb saag – lamb with cream pine according to Indian type for 10.50 € · 1x lamb pine – lamb with homemade cheese in cream sauce for 10.50 e · 1x lamb chicken kitty – lamb and chicken with pepper, tomatoes, ginger and garlic red But what was that? Should this be a plate for three people, this was designed for a maximum of 2 people, because all ingredients were only twice on the plate. Mix Pakora with fried cauliflower, potatoes, chickens and homemade cheese He only replied to the boss: “You will be fed.” Mmmh, if he thinks. But customer-friendly is different. For this, the potato pieces fried in chickpea flour, the cauliflower and also the chicken were fresh, crispy outside and pleasantly soft inside. The cheese wasn’t exactly our taste, it “quiet” something between the teeth. There was a mild mint dip, a spicy curry dip and a sharp dip with chili. All the more refined with fresh salad and tomato. Too bad that it was only a small "happy" for everyone. Mix Pakora with fried cauliflower, potatoes, chickens and homemade cheese cracker 10 minutes later came the main dishes. At the first sight it was clear to us why our predecessors left the tablecloths so. The bowls with our food were amazing, you could hardly move the spoon to get out, and you had already tackled yourself. Lamb-Saag – lamb meat with cream pine according to Indian style Lamb-Paneer – lamb with homemade cheese in creamy curry sauce The lamb-saag, the lamb with cream pine according to Indian style was already served almost with a mountain at spinach above. Many delicate lambs were in even more spicy spinach. The whole thing was treated with a slightly sharp sauce, this food was always sharper towards the end. For my wife, almost the limit to too sharp. Lamb-Saag – lamb meat with cream pine according to Indian style lamb-saag – lamb meat with cream pine according to Indian style Unsre girlfriend chose the lamb pine, the lamb with homemade cheese in creamy curry sauce. Here again plenty of well roasted and soft pieces of lamb, with many pieces of this homemade cheese, which in this dish was not “quietschig”. And here again up to the upper edge of the bowl almost too much a mild, creamy curry sauce, which had a pleasantly light, sharp taste in the aftertaste. Lamb Pine – lamb with homemade cheese in creamy curry sauce lamb pine – lamb with homemade cheese in creamy curry sauce I chose the lamb chicken kashmiri, also a full bowl with lamb and chicken, paprika, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in a spicy sauce. I also had plenty of delicate meat, served in equal parts of lamb and chicken. The paprika coarsely cut and not too softly cooked, the tomatoes disappeared in the sauce. The whole with plentiful ginger and even more garlic very spicy. That was delicious. Lamb Chicken Kashmiri – Lamb and chicken with peppers, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in spicy sauce Lamb Chicken Kashmiri – lamb and chicken with peppers, tomatoes, ginger and garlic in spicy sauce To our dishes there was a bowl full of delicate and thin rice. Not pappy, pleasantly grainy cooked. Only another bowl I would have liked, but this one would have reminded more of a dog eating bowl instead of a gastronomy. Rice as a supplement Since my wife loves Naan-Brot, we had also ordered a load from it, and this was crunchy, not too dark, slightly spiced with sesame. Our conclusion: we left exactly 54 euros in the Panjabi in Radeberg. The food was delicious and more than abundant. Even the cocktails had it in themselves. However, the ambience and above all the cleanliness would have to be worked once more strongly. The decks out, the dönerstand in a neighboring room with separate access. Also, the boss should make his reservations a bit more accurate soon, otherwise his customers could blame him."
