This Imtiaz Ali-approved dhaba is a must-visit in Amritsar

When in Punjab, make sure to stop by this food gem for its famous ‘kulcha’

Are you planning a trip to Punjab? If Amritsar is not on your itinerary, suggest adding it. When in Amritsar, visit the Golden Temple, which goes without saying. But also stop by at another place — a good gem that is approved by Bollywood director Imtiaz Ali. Named Pehalwan Kulcha Shop, the humble shop is famous for the Indian bread — kulcha. Ali recently visited the eatery and posted a few glimpses on his Instagram handle. Ever since the post on December 27, several netizens have expressed love for the food joint, and the post has received a heart emoji from actor Aparshakti Khurana.
