Excellent food: soft tawa roti, non-greasy paneer bhurji & aloo-baingan tonight (11/30) on the way back home to Phoenix from Death Valley & the valley of fire. Service was quick & the food was heavenly ! Just what we wanted after all the travels this long weekend . The restaurant had pictures from Punjab which was a delight. The aroma of incense at 7pm was pleasing. The kitchen looked clean from the small window through which the guy took orders. The gud wali chai was too sweet for me but it was perfect to take for the rest of the ride Two things I didn’t like: 1. Toilets were very unclean. For a clean Dhaba, the management could do a good job in maintaining the restroom 2. The guy in red full sleeve shirt with a bucket hat (11/30 evening) was very pushy in making us pay with cash. He initially said that payment would be with cash only. Then went on to point us to the ATM to withdraw cash and pay him. After a lot of resistance, he agreed to charge our credit card extra (about $52 with cash & $56 with credit card). I also learned that he forced the party ahead of us to pay cash . I understand you want to take cash to avoid tax payment but common , you have a credit card machine for us to right in front of us and still insist that we paid cash . This was not okay on his part

Authentic punjabi food. Mid_spicy. Inside, there are four tables that can seat 8 each and one that can seat 4. outside, three tables that can seat 18 people. Food is v good. Tea - ask for it to be made less sweet (with jaggery). Tea serving size is like medium size fit for 3 people. Washroom is average hence one star knocked off from the rating. Edit : one more star knocked off since the food caused an upset tummy the same night :-)

Awesome Indian food. I recommend the cauliflower potato and chapati! The service is fast and the food is truly good. The seating area is not as fancy as most would like, probably, but I like the atmosphere. Give it a try! Have some adventure.
