The Dhaba

@the_dhaba_vadodara is my absolute favorite when it comes to Indian cuisine, why? Because everything!! And my recent visit there just cemented my belief!! Now, they have revamped their interior a bit, and the live music adds to the ambiance. @the_dhaba_vadodara 's strongest aspect is their non-compromising food; you get all the goodness (albeit heavy, so go there prepared!)

Starting with... Of course starters, we tried Paneer Peri Peri Tikka, Soya Stick, and Schezwan Deep fried momos. Now I can really describe everything how they do it, but... Space issues here.. So let's just go with the taste. Peri Peri tikka are seriously well flavored and hot; the right amount of heat makes it appetizing and adds a vibrant start. Soya is prepared in-house with their own techniques and has its own unique taste and flavor, too good! Momos, while they've become popular, they are known for their peculiar crisp and spicy sauce.

After that, we were greeted with Chur Chur Paratha platter, which is a must try, like for real, just do it. Dal Makhni will melt you away (I need to jog kilometers; I know it). While Paratha is great, Daal steals the limelight.

In main course, we tried some fantastic sabzis, Birbal ki Handi, Soya Chap kadhai, and Tawa paneer along with more Dal!! Let me tell you, it was so confusing and overwhelming for us to decide which one tastes better.. And we failed. So just know that all of these are really well made.

Now comes the bomb, Matka Biryani, balanced spices and flavors, not too weak to make it bland, not too spiced to make you feel in hell, just enough so you can sail through the sea of flavors! Yes!

I'm not going to describe desserts; just look at them!! And I promise you they taste better than you're thinking right now.

In the end, what I love about @the_dhaba_vadodara is their enthusiasm and passion for their craft, the way they describe their food and the joy they exhibit makes the experience well worth it, this communication definitely adds a value to the experience and while I'm all praise I want all of you to visit at least once and try by yourself, you will absolutely love here and will be visiting again, that's for sure, atleast I am!!

Being a first time visitor I had an awesome experience at this place. I ate Paratha and Biryani and both were very delicious. The service is good. We were entertained with live music. Definitely going here again.

This place is situated near the Jagdish store (Even I was not able to identify it through GMap). The restaurant is on the way towards the Chakli/Bird circle.
1st of all, Good amount of parking for 2whlr & 4whlr! I visited on Monday and was expecting less crowds! We immediately got the seat (8 pax).
One thing to mind is that it's a Pure Panjabi Veg restaurant (No Chinese item will be served). Food was decent and price are on upper side (I left it same as Mirch masala).
Overall Good family restaurant with different varieties of Panjabi items and reasonable price tags!
