Garam Dharam Dhaba te Theka

Situated at the prime location, Garam Dharam restaurant stands sharp in the heart of Connaught Place. When I learnt that the veteran actor Dharmendra himself is coming over to launch the newest restaurant Garam Dharam, Dhaba the Theka I was very eager to meet him. At the same time, I was curious to see the dhaba te thekka on the theme of Dharam Garam.

Movie names on wall

As I entered the restaurant, it was already very crowded. I was finally able to find a seat for myself after searching.

Ambiance

Royal enfield reminding of ‘Ye dosti’ song of Sholay

Ambiance was quirky with stylish lamps hung in an innovative way. You need to see it to believe. Restaurant had a graffiti painting of Dharmendra on one wall, movie names on other and dialogues on chairs. The whole area was vibrant and reflected Bollywood aura. Bollywood songs being played at the background radiated high energy in the atmosphere. There was Royal enfield, the grand memory of song ‘Ye dosti’ of movie ‘Sholay’ took me to the joyous moments of thise times. It took me a while to simply observe the happening place. In a way, I was absorbed in the ambiance.

Snacks

As we waited for respected Dharam Ji, enticing snacks were coming our way. I must say that I couldn’t complain at all. All snacks that I tasted including seekh kebab, chicken wings, chicken Malai tikka were indeed luscious. I loved them all. Fresh lime soda which is my favourite breezer was awesome as well. All in all we were having a gala waiting time.

As Garam Dharam entered…

Dharam Ji looking at the ambiance

All of a sudden there were lights all over and huge crowd gathered in from of the gate. Oh my God, Dharam Ji had arrived. What a personality, aura he had. Wearing a cap, goggles with nicely teamed up dress, Dharam Ji seemed to have aged gracefully.

At first Dharam ji looked at the ambiance appreciating it. As he started addressing the excited gathering, it was an altogether different atmosphere. People were literally barging in to just see a little glimpse of Dharam Ji.

Addressing the audience

Dharamji addressed people as Dilli ke doston. Dilli n doston come together. Dilli ke doston ko achchha khana bahut pasand hai.

He said, he doesn’t like packed milk. He has asked the restaurant to get milk directly from farms.

Theka

Well, Garam Dharam- Dhaba te thekka is the brainchild of Umang Tiwari and Micky Mehta. Considering the fact that Dharmendra’s dialogues, his movies and songs have become a legend in Bollywood, Umang Tiwari and Micky Mehta have come up with the theme of this restaurant. They strongly feel that such a theme will be close to the heart of foodies and they will have a grand experience at Garam Dharam Dhaba the Theka.

Seating arrangement to give the feel of dhaba

Umang said- they have tried to cater to all foodies. They have dabbas for quick meals, take away counters for people on the toes, unique mock tails and desi drinks would be surely a hit. Umang said without compromosing on quality, decor and space, we will provide memories of meals to food lovers of all ages. A quirky yet dhaba and theka style restaurant will provide cozy and wonderful experience to Delhiites. 

Myself talking to Dharam Ji

Micky Mehta said, this restaurant was a first step towards opening of few more themed restaurants in 2015. Starting with propitius Garam Dharam Dhaba the Theka, he looks forward to many more. He assures of an awesome experience at the restaurant in a filmy and entertaining way!
