  1. its an eating place usually on the highways and it has an authentic Indian look wooden furniture and open air and mainly famous for punjabi food


  2. Just to supplement what my friends have said above, a typical dhaba has atleast one big earthen oven called "tandoor", has a prominent row of cooking utensils - Pateelas - displayed quite shining at the front top, do serve tandoori rotis and tandoori paranthas -plain or stuffed - and always have Dal (Makhni or not).

    And these dhaba may have little variation in different regions of India but can easily be identified / recoganised.

    To see their success, even many five star hotels, particularly in North India have a restaurant in their premises by somewhat similar name or appearance as Dhaba.

  3. dhaba is nothing but like a mini restourent but at cheep rates and not a good food to eat

  4. On the side of roads and country side ,there are small Places where you can eat, mostly you get  Punjabi food in these places. that is called DHABA

  5. a small roadside shack mostly found on highways serving mainly punjabi food ... the food thy serve is very tasty most of the times

  6. Arre oh puttar ! ['Oh, youngster !', in Punjabi]

    The 'dhaba' is a roadside eating place, found along the National Highways in India, where generous helpings of cheap, tasty and nourishing food are served to travellers [mostly truck drivers, but a lot of those driving their own 2/4 wheelers, as well !] - who have to sit in the open air on ethnic bamboo-cots, and relish these repasts, that are often fit for kings/queens !  

    Most of these 'dhabas' are owned and operated by Sardar-jis [Singhs] of your own clan - some of whom have been in the same trade for over 5 generations, or more !

  7. dhaba is a place where u get all that good stuff to eat which u don't get here in chicago. u get taste of the country, smell of the country, u can actually feel ur country
