The Yellow Chilli Story
The Yellow Chilli, Ludhiana
Eating out has become a way of life with most people. Whether it is a special occasion that needs special celebration or one just wants a change from the daily routine, people head for a restaurant to enjoy a few hours of the special atmosphere and of course the food too.

When I decided to get into restaurant consultation I had to find a special name for my brand. And since I have always wanted to be different from the others I wanted a different kind of name and that is when I hit upon the name ‘The Yellow Chilli’ which is exotic but at the same time authentic.

Ludhiana became my first choice as I wanted to get back to my Punjabi roots. And I joined forces with Satinder Singh and Jarnail Singh, the two young entrepreneurs, who had already become a household name thanks to ‘Hotbreads’. And thus started ‘The Yellow Chilli’ at Sarabha Nagar.

The interiors have been specifically designed to depict the traditional Indian style at its best. The guests dine in a soothing and cool atmosphere listening to select music and partake a magical cuisine. Besides the taste every other parameter of International Hospitality Industry has been adhered to in this restaurant. The hygiene is the priority and the service on par with the best found anywhere in the world.

Each dish on the menu has been selected keeping in mind the discerning palates of the people of Ludhiana and its vicinity. Here I must mention the Lalla Mussa dal which became an instant hit as soon the restaurant opened its doors to the public. And it still is a hot favourite.

There is an interesting story behind how this dal came into being. Post independence when my parents used to stay in Pakistan they used to often travel from Lahore to Karachi. The first station that the train halted in the morning was called Lalla Mussa. This place was famous for its delicious food and specially the dal. My father, who was a complete foodie, replicated the dal at home and we all simply loved it. So when I was planning the menu for The Yellow Chilli I said to myself that this dal should be included on the menu. It was indeed a wise decision.

Besides Lalla Mussa Dal there are quite a few favourites on the menu out of which Shaam Savera, Gulab e Gulkand, Railway Mutton Curry, Lazeez Tikka Masala and Mahi Tikka Achari need special mention.

One visit to this restaurant will lead you on a journey of culinary appreciation and you will definitely come back for more.
