A Taste from Himachal: Colonel's Shaan-E Himachal, Serving You Since 1998
COLONEL'S SHAAN-E-HIMACHAL came into existence in and around October 1998 on a guide decision by team of Col G S HUNDAL who had retired from the Indian Army and his Elder Son SAMRAT HUNDAL and the buoying up of Prof Karamjit Singh COL HUNDAL’S Father. The team came into action mode and went all the way to Delhi to buy the best equipment required for making this idea a reality.
Above is the POV of our open roof seating area
After almost a month of sleepless nights and hardships, the idea soon became a reality and on 19th October 1998 Colonel’s Shaan-E-Himachal came into existence .
Colonel Saab had lots of experience in food production due to his keen interest towards cooking + his exposure to arranging Big parties in the army was a major plus point.
Teething problems
Initially an immense shortage of staff was faced due to it being a rickety sector in those days and the market was already reigned by the iconic GIANI DA DHABA just opposite. But giving up was never an option .
“STAR FOOD AT DHABA RATES”
“BARBECVE”
“ARMY OFFICER’S FAMILY VENTURE”
AND AFTER THAT THERE WAS NO LOOKING BACK TO THE SUCCESS OF COLONEL’S SHAAN-E-HIMACHAL.
AND TO THIS DAY WE ARE GROWING AND ADVANCING TO PROVIDE THE BEST TO OUR ESTEEMED COSTUMERS
PROVIDING THE BEST FOOD SINCE 1998 AND THE YEARS TO COME
Our food is and was prepared from the best of ingredients and tasted fabulous but still there were no positive signs
After all those ”brainstorming sessions” the team came up with some quotes
