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. We have gone to the ports of Goa for genuine curries. We have also crossed the borders to present some Chinese dishes with the bite and spice of India. Some very royal dishes enjoyed by the Moghul kings, also enhance the glamour of our menu, in an ambience and hospitality evocative of the golden times, when every meal was a feast, and every feast, a gourmet delight.

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.

We would like to thank our respected father Mr Rajinder Singh Ankhi, starter of Punjabi Dhaba tradition in New Zealand. We will strive to keep up the tradition and expectations. Hardeep and Sonia give their personal guarantee that all our guests and patrons will go satisfied and get the best value for their money.
