Dhaba is less formal restaurant on roadside of busy highway and truck drivers are main beneficiaries… Food is available on cheaper price while quality and taste remain mouthwatering(as per my assumption)… Dhaba is open kitchen, where food cooks on demand at any time… I guess, it is 24 X 7 availability of food service…

In modern age, *dhaba *is getting popularity among urban population of major cities… and transforming into family friendly… What is your experience of *dhaba *?

Not all dhaba serves mouth watering food

Re: Dhaba culture

*Dhaba *is opposite extreme of fine dining… What was bad with food?

Re: Dhaba culture

I don’t try having food in dhabas as I didn’t have to travel on long routes. Once I had lunch in a dhaba (on way from Sukkur to Rahim Yar Khan) and it was tasteless and baasi. You need to have extra active digestive system to coup with after-affects.

Re: Dhaba culture

I did lunch at dhaba twice or thrice and breakfast seldom… Lunch was delicious… and *nashta *was similar to *anda chai *and *paratha *of Pathan’s hotel…

Modern dhaba is expensive and quite close to fine dining experience but style and serving pretty close to traditional dhaba…

No. It means sophisticated *dhaba *style dining like Al Sajjad or Al Habib at Super Highway…

Re: Dhaba culture

Kadhai Handi in a samll mutka pot… and they charge more than Rs. 1000… I remember, one of my relative was quite disturbed… itnay pesay main to khud hi bana laity…

15

It’s resturant + dhaba

Re: Dhaba culture

itne paise main khud bana ke poore ghar walon ko khilaya ja sakta. Most places just cash brand name and with the passage of time quality also goes down.

17

I don’t know how much they charge since i never paid :snooty:

Re: Dhaba culture

I think, it is

  • open air
  • charpai
  • far away from city
  • fine dining in dhaba style
  • family frienldy

:hmmm:

They serve on charpai outside the resturant.Inside it is similar like any other resturant.
