Dastaan Chandigarh in Sector 7 is the kind of restaurant where you ask the server, “What is Chitta Murg?” and then order it. Built around lost, regional and royal-kitchen recipes, Dastaan Chandigarh serves everything from Patiala-style Chicken Kibti to Assamese Prawn Curry and Goan Fish Balchow. Tourists come for dishes they rarely see elsewhere, and locals return for celebration dinners.

Dastaan Chandigarh Ambience & Restaurant Interior
Listings describe the Dastaan Chandigarh ambience as warm and inviting, with modern, stylish decor. Outdoor seating and dine-in are both listed. The Dastaan Chandigarh restaurant interior is also described as wheelchair accessible, including the entrance, seating and toilet. One diner notes the entrance is from the back side of Sector 7’s main market, so allow a minute to find it.
Dastaan Chandigarh Offers, Deals & Buffet Price
- Offers: I found no active Dastaan Chandigarh deals. EazyDiner lists no current deal for the restaurant. Check Zomato, District or the restaurant directly before booking.
- Buffet: No buffet price was found, and the menu is à la carte. Treat any “buffet” claim as unconfirmed.
- Budget: EazyDiner estimates about ₹1,400 for two. From the menu, one starter, one main and breads already come to about ₹1,100–1,300 before taxes, so drinks and extra dishes will push the bill higher.
Quality and Safety of Dastaan Chandigarh India
The menu asks guests to inform their server of any allergies, and every page is marked with veg, egg and non-veg symbols. Egg is flagged on the Soya Keema Ghotala, which is optional at ₹50 extra. Charcoal Roti is sold as a “digestive roti.” Hygiene or licence details aren’t published on the menu.
