Sir Dough’s New North Indian Menu – A Delicious Surprise!
When you think of Sir Dough, you probably picture freshly baked croissants, wood-fired pizzas, and expertly brewed coffee. They’ve built their reputation on Italian flavors, but here’s a twist—they’ve recently ventured into North Indian cuisine. Naturally, I had to put it to the test.
First Impressions
Sir Dough, with its modern café vibe and chic interiors, is not a place you’d typically associate with dishes like Rara Paneer or Dal Makhani. But that’s exactly what makes this new menu so intriguing. Located in Sector 5, Panchkula, and Sector 7, Chandigarh, it has already established itself as a coffee lover’s paradise—so could it now impress North Indian food enthusiasts too?
Starters – A Bold Beginning
I started with the Lasuni Paneer Tikki, which turned out to be an absolute delight. The smokiness was just right, the paneer was soft yet firm, and the garlic hit the perfect note without being overpowering. A great appetizer to awaken the taste buds!
Then came the Pav Bhaji, and I have to admit—I wasn’t expecting much from a café’s take on this street-food classic. But it turned out to be a star dish. The bhaji was freshly made, rich in flavors, and paired with soft, buttery pav that was grilled to perfection. The spice levels were well-balanced, making it a comfort dish that I’d happily order again.
Of course, no visit to Sir Dough is complete without coffee. I went for their Vietnamese Cold Brew, and it lived up to their reputation—smooth, strong, with a slight sweetness that balanced the bold coffee notes. It’s the kind of drink that makes you stop and appreciate coffee craftsmanship. To add a refreshing touch, I tried the Orange Mojito, which was made with fresh oranges, and it delivered a great balance of citrus and fizz. Since it’s Valentine’s season, I couldn’t resist the Red Velvet Cappuccino, a creamy, slightly chocolatey coffee with a festive flair.
Main Course – North Indian Classics with a Twist
For the mains, I started with the Rara Paneer, and wow—this was not your regular paneer dish. The paneer was incredibly soft, almost melt-in-your-mouth, while the keema-style gravy had a deep, smoky, and rich flavor. This dish alone could make their North Indian menu worth trying.
Then came the Dal Makhani, and I have to say—it was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Smooth, buttery, slow-cooked to perfection, and packed with that creamy richness that makes Dal Makhani an all-time favorite. Pairing it with naan made it even better.
Final Verdict
Sir Dough has successfully stepped out of its comfort zone and pulled off a North Indian menu that actually works. The flavors are authentic, the presentation is classy, and the combination of a café-style setting with rich Indian dishes makes for a unique dining experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
✔️ Pav Bhaji

Whether you’re a coffee enthusiast, an Italian food lover, or now—a North Indian food explorer, Sir Dough is proving to be more than just a café. If you’re in Panchkula (Sector 5) or Chandigarh (Sector 7), and looking for something different yet familiar, this place is definitely worth a visit.
Would I return? Absolutely—especially for that pav bhaji and cold brew! ☕🔥
