Punjabi Dhabba - Alvord

We drove for about hour and half to get to Punjabi Dhaba. A lot of our friends were raving about this restaurant so we had high expectations. Secondly you want a ROI given the time and effort to get to Punjabi Dhaba. Let me tell you friends the hype is for real ?. I was glad we came here for lunch. Setting the scene, this is literally like a Dhaba, you will see a handful of 18 wheelers in the parking lot. The restaurant has outdoor and indoor seating. No food or drinks are allowed ?inside? however you can bring your own drinks (BYOD) if you are sitting outside. We had : The Non Veg Platter : Chicken Tandoori, Chicken Tikka Kebab, Chicken Seekh Kebab. tandoori and Tikka are amazing, Seekh was not bad. They serve chillies, crushed green Chilli and onions on the side. Daal Tadka and Jeera Rice Daal was light and flavorful. Desi Chicken Curry and Assortment of Naan Desi chicken was the best of the lot, the gravy had the right balance of spices and the essence of real Dhaba food. All Nan?s were good but garlic naan was the best. Samosa Chaat was decent Lassi is pretty average, if you are looking for the real deal skip this one here.

Must visit if you want a close to Indian Dhaba experience in the states. Punjabi food here is close to authentic and raved by few. I was not disappointed with options and taste. Only drawback is this is a distant place for Dallas residents to explore.

Has truck parking. Amazing food. A little high on price but food that good is worth it. Service: Take out Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5

Most people seem to order take-out. Food is good, but a bit pricey and everythingis extra.. AC not the greatest and seating almost Cafeteria style. You pickup your own order and take to your table. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3

They're so rude and mean and there's no sign helping travelers to give directions .
