Sanjha Chulha

Sanjha Chulha sits comfortably on Lawrence Road, just opposite BBK DAV College, making it a convenient stop for locals and visitors looking to sample Punjabi and North Indian flavors without straying far from the city buzz. This full-service restaurant specializes in traditional vegetarian dishes, with a particular nod to Amritsar’s culinary heritage, making it a reliable choice for a hearty breakfast or family meal.

The atmosphere here leans toward practical and welcoming rather than flashy. It offers air-conditioned seating, which comes as a relief during Amritsar’s warmer months, and the space is clean and functional—qualities that suit families or groups looking for a comfortable, no-fuss dining experience. You’ll find the pace casual, with enough background activity to remind you that you’re in a well-frequented spot in a lively neighborhood.

What stands out most is the food. The restaurant is known for its Amritsari Kulcha Naan, Aloo Kulcha, and Ambarsari Paratha—dishes that reflect local tastes and are prepared consistently well. The kulchas have a doughy, slightly chewy texture with fillings that balance spice and tang, paired particularly well with butter or chutneys. Lassi, especially in its sweet versions, is often recommended as a cooling, lightly sweet complement to the savory fare.

Beyond breads and thalis, Sanjha Chulha offers an extensive vegetarian menu ranging from various paneer-based curries to soups and Chinese-inspired noodles, giving diners a wider choice if they want to stray from traditional Punjabi fare. Portion sizes are generous, and prices remain accessible, appealing to families and students nearby.

The staff tends to be friendly and attentive, though English proficiency is limited, so basic communication works best. This doesn’t detract from the experience but rather adds to the local flavor of the place. The kitchen and service areas maintain visible cleanliness, which helps the restaurant stand out on a bustling food circuit like Lawrence Road.

This spot is best for anyone wanting a straightforward, filling vegetarian meal rooted in Punjabi home-style cooking, especially during breakfast or lunch hours when the dishes are freshly made and the kitchen is buzzing. Families and groups looking for a practical option with air conditioning and a quiet side-street refuge will find Sanjha Chulha fits the bill nicely without the pretense of more touristy venues.
