Heaven's Gate Dhaba

Great place from both urban life and traffic. Food is also good. Also perfect for weekend relaxation.

Wanna get out of the city and have a secluded space and time ? Wanna be near to the city life but away from traffic and crowd ? Wanna feel little closer to nature with pet dogs, cats, hens and turkeys walking around ? Wanna enjoy sprawling lush green open space with a patch of coconut groove? Wanna get that village dhaba / hut wala feeling ? Wanna spend some time talking to fishes in the aquarium near a kitchen ? (Here i get some sense - are these fishes taken out live and cooked ? Or would one be so drunk to go talk to fishes ?)

Anyways, if your answers are yes to the above questions (maybe not all questions :-P ) you should visit this place and experience it all. Advisable that ladies don't go without friends or family. Given the description, this place is like a retreat paradise for the ABCDs (alcohol, beer consuming desis). Though next to a main road, this place is just out of the place in terms of the silence and privacy one gets. U choose a hut u wanna settle in and no one disturbs (even the steward occasionally comes to take further menu, that too only if you insist couple of times).

For me the best part was the untamed friendly pets that one gets to be with - 5 Labradors (liked the black one more), couple of turkeys and cats sneaking around for some leftover food to be shared. Getting a hut under the shade of the coconut groove was fantastic. Right at the corner of the huge place - silence, seclusion, serenity and (in)sanity. Perfect.

Catching up with old pals can get nostalgic, even more so when few decide to unwind memories with couple of smokes and beers (such a natural duo to unleash the tongue from the chains of the sensible conscious self). Alcohol is not served in this place, just serviced. For ease of understanding - the server will buy beer from an adjoining liquor shop and serve it for a tip. Now, if there's beer then there's masala. In our case, we chose it to be papads and pakodas. Such addictive starters, just can't get enough.

Since the visit was more to do with catching up with old pals, food was least on our minds. Next came in kulchas and naan with dal tadka and paneer butter masala. Decent taste but with lots of onion and heavy spice. Wanted to give a shot at the rice menu and ordered the jeera rice. Was much better than anticipated downgraded benchmark based on the breads with gravies.

Took us about an hour to have food. But, the total time spent here was about 4 hours! Yup, when there's such huge place with not much crowd and all time time for friends, this place can get very cozy in no time. When heading out for parking lot, the pan wala came to the rescue for many with the maghai pan (ask an ABCD to know why pan is important after 'unwinding').

This place is more of an experience than food. Guess some places are just that - helps you have good memories in time than memories on tongue. After spending so much time with old pals, this place ironically felt like the heaven's gate. For those of you who are reading this review and wondering if I'm writing this while 'unwinding'..No. I'm just 're-winding' my memories :-) dedicated to all my lovely buddies.

Good place to hangout with your friends and have part. It's only one Dhaba in Kanakpura road. Food under the budget and tasty too. Service also good. But atmosphere was not upto the mark. Places was not cleaned. And during rainy season it's really dirty every where except seating place. Toilet was ok, need to prove.
