A dhaba is a roadside eatery in Punjab where people stop for fresh, filling food made with care. That’s the idea we brought here—simple Punjabi plates locals call a hidden gem.

So many Indian options in the area but this may be my fave so far. Salmon tikka on the tandoor grill was amazing. So flavorful and cake with veggie biryani rice. Aloo gobi yum too. Will have to try dining in as I got delivery this time. Travelled well.
The best Indian I have ever had! We have been ordering this for years, and they are so consistent! You always know what you are getting. Flavors are amazing! I decided to post because whoever did our order put some extra awesomeness - it tasted extra incredible and they deserve a raise. Love you guys!
This place is the absolute best. The delicious food and good prices keep me coming back over and over again. Everything I've ever ordered here is incredible and Tony is the nicest guy. Plus it's BYOB. Dhabewala 4eva ❤️
