MAIN JATTI PUNJAB DI ..
Dhaba in India is the most traditional eating place or a roadside cafe famous with the truckies who drive all night and long distances delivering goods from one city to another, but over the years it has become popular to all walks of life. Cooking is done in earthern pots and on earthern ovens. Our chefs at Punjabi Dhaba, have tried to present the most traditional and authentic food prepared with the combination of earthern cookware to the most modern facilities of the modern world.
The universal popularity of curry is the delicious proof of east conquering west, on the culinary level. It is a wrong notion that Indian food is “hot”. All the spices and herbs used are not just for flavour and aroma, but for their digestive and nutritional values. Chillies are rich in Vitamin C, Methi (fenugreek) peps up the liver, ginger and peppercorn aid digestion. Mint is cooling, while coriander is good for kidneys.
Good wholesome food and good health go hand in hand. At Punjabi Dhaba, we use only the finest ingredients to prepare all dishes that are as nutritious as they are delicious. So sit back and relax and try whatever appeals to you today but you have to come back to try another section of our menu.
The best-selling dishes at the Dhaba are tastiest. The Chicken Tikka Masala and the Veggie platter both sell for the unbelievably reasonable price of $6.95 including rice and chutney. Other good vegetarian options are the Saag Paneer (pureed creamed spinach with homemade cheese cubes, $4.95) and all the breads, Parathas and Nans ($1.50-$2.95), with Yogurt or Raita (spiced yogurt with vegetables, $0.75). Especially good is the Gobi Paratha: fried bread layered with cooked cauliflower. Try dipping a plain Paratha into the Masala tea for a truly authentic roadside and village experience from the Indian subcontinent.
A Punjabi dhaba is easy to spot. Many including the Guru Nanak Punjabi Dhaba, Dhillon Punjabi Dhaba and Agra Punjabi Dhaba. A rare name was Rangeela Rajasthani Dhaba. All this may be aimed at catching the attention of drivers from the respective districts but there is very little difference in menu. In Haryana, lots of dhabas are named after birds while in Punjab businessmen name dhabas after themselves and that's the reason we have Puran da Dhaba and so on.
Overall the Dhaba is popular and attracts repeat business due to its reasonable prices and good, hot meals.
